if your going to go with a centrifugal SC the rotrex outperforms the vortech in every aspect.

10000 dollars. Twin turbo before that S/C. IMO

do the hiluxes come with electric fans? I noticed that they have 2 puller fans on the truck rather than our clutch fan

 

[Gadget]

They might have both.

Landcruiser Prado & Hilux 4.0L V6
(1GR-FE)
Vortech Supercharger




Quick Specs

* Vortech V-2 Supercharger (7psi)
* Water to Air Intercooler
* Reprogrammed using Piggyback Computer
* Standard Power 179kW. Supercharged 280kW (56% Increase)
* Standard Torque 376Nm. Supercharged 518Nm (38% Increase)



the chart is different than the posted specs

1 KW= 1.34 HP

179KW*1.34=239 HP

280KW*1.34=375 HP

375-239=136 HP gain

136 (gained)/239=56%


Numbers add up...

i think the dyno chart is actually for the 3.4, it says it has a +79 gain and that is what the chart shows.:dontknow:

280 Kw is 375 HP.

I see where you are getting that now. That is their projected crank power rating.

So if they are claiming 375 crank and only getting 246 wheel HP, that is some serious drive train loss. Using that same wild ass guess crank rating using their formula the URD kit will give 463 crank HP. Not happening.

Even if the projected crank is 375 hp, 10,000 bucks is real step for an extra 136 CRANK hp. Imagine what you could with all that money

like i said i think the graph is for the 5vz not the 1gr as stated. come on our trucks are 246 at the crank stock.

10,000 austrailian is 8250 USD, but yeah still way to much.

Actually the graph indicated is for our 4.0L 1GR-FE...

our trucks make 236 hp crank...we haven't lost any hp since 2005, its just the way they rate the crank hp has changed since then...

Compared to 4,000 US dollars for a c2c turbo kit or a URD, I'd consider us to be pretty damn lucky
