You thinking of the SHO? Pretty sure the heads and engine design were Buick.

True the SHO was also Yamaha design, great engine. But I always remember hearing the GN heads were Yamaha design. Hmm been a long time I could have confused them. But great cars/engines.

The Tacoma turbo doesnt have a water cooled turbo with a separate turbo water pump? I have a BMW S55 engine and the turbo has a separate cooling system that when you turn off your car it runs automatically until the temps subside.

All I saw was that the 4G turbo is water cooled. How it's done wasn't specified.

Maybe you are thinking of ASC/McLaren with the GNX?

Buick teamed with ASC/McLaren to build the ultra-hot GNXs to avoid disrupting normal engineering and production and worked hard to make the cars not just faster but substantially better than the '87 GN on which they were based.

Although the Livonia, Michigan-based McLaren Performance Technologies was started by Bruce McLaren to build engines and other parts for his Can-Am cars, the American division became an independent organization, separate from the Britain-based McLaren Engineering that builds the McLaren automobiles and F1 cars.

The Tundra has that feature. I assume the Tacoma will have it as well.
