Most Powerful naturally aspirated 6cyl

Twin Turbo maybe the one turbo cancels out the other one? hehe

 

are you 4x4?

If not, get rid of the stock sub frame and go center mount but with a less than 85" track width. You get more travel but you stay narrow, thus, 7200 class legal

 

You are allowed a sealed Ecoboost engine according to the 7200 rules. It makes 365 hp and 420 lb-ft stock.

 

I think center mount violates the rules hmm on the ecoboost

 

and if I was doing that much work doing center mount and new engine I would want to push the engine back as well seems like a waste of fab time if I decide to switch to 1400 down the road... or not worth losing the experience in 7200

 

LOVE the S54 omfg

 

I think your best bet is to contact LCE for info and prices.

The $5000 price cap for a Toyota V-6 race motor is pretty unrealistic unless you do all the work yourself or have someone to do it for next to nothing. Maybe a buddy who is a Toyota master tech?

Finally, you should probably spend money on fixing weak points on the truck rather than looking for more power. Going faster wont help you if your truck breaks and doesnt get across the finish line. Heidi Steele's Ranger had a close to stock V-6 and they still dominated. The truck was dialed and that is what won races.

 

...truck is in the shop for all that right now... this is something i will look at doing in a year or 2 but i want to find out what to work towards doing. i need to learn to drive the truck first but the truck is being beefed up right now as we speak. solid motor and tranny mounts and engine cage + gusseting. not to mention a rear end rated to 600+HP to give me a good buffer.

 

and thanks for the link this is what im looking for! i need to find the specs tho

 

Curious question, and possibly a Newb one when it comes to off-road racing, but is it normal to solid mount the engine and trans in that style of racing?

 

research has me to believe that they are getting 410-450 to the wheels with the $6500 model

 

Definitely solid mount that engine for racing, but i know certain race trucks that run stock mounts still

 

yes the constant hits and jolting around tears the mounts up real quick.

Also, clearly it has been proven that solid mounts work best, but has no one made a sturdier than factory mount, which isn't solid?

A done NA Buick V6 will kick the crap out of most all V6's you can put together....inexpensively. You could build 3 Buicks for the cost of 1 Honda. The wrecking yards are littered with 4.1 blocks.

 

Increased compression, Cometic head gaskets, ported heads, welded and ported lower intake plenum, TCR custom intake manifold, custom adjustable cam gears, automatic transmission. He was shooting for 300 whp I believe, while staying N/A. Add some cams, headers, and a free flowing Y-pipe to the mix, I could easily see it being around 350 whp.

 

With all the forged internals, can the redline be safely raised? Another way to make power.

 

Yes but you'll need to know the limits of the oil and water pumps.

 

true but that would be high end power, nice and all but low end power is kinda what im looking for... an option tho. I might consider getting a 4.0L tearing it apart bore it out maybe stroke it to get 400 with intake exhaust headers and cam? possible?
