    How does tubroing the 3.4 affect reliability? A little extra power would be nice.

    That's cool... I have an account but can't stand that particular social media platform. Not that my presence would add much to the discussion.

    The 5vzfe stock block is reported to handle up 450whp reliably or you could use a 3vzfe forged crank and some better rods for higher hp builds. Tuning is of course going to make a difference on reliability.

    I want to boost mine one day. Still don’t have quite the amount of info I’d like, but each day I’m trying to learn more about turbo’ing these

    I would love some long term fees back. On this as it would be better than a supper charger in my eyes and could be set up for towing and mpg.

    There's some guys in the group on FB that have had them for a while. I'm going to build mine over the winter if everything works out.
