Hey man, killer build! Just finished reading the thread.

I’m starting a pre runner 3rd gen Tacoma build off a bare factory new frame. Long travel +3.5” and my plan is to run a complete Tundra drivetrain (I want the width in the rear) with a Magnuson (TRD) supercharger. Lots of welding and reinforcements. I’m looking at pushing 500-600hp on 35” tires. I live on the East Coast, so I’ll never be launching it off the dunes, but plenty of fun to be had here still.

The engine/trans swap has been done before in a second gen, close enough for me to give it a go. Here’s the link for those interested: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacundra-5-7l-3urfe-swapped-2nd-gen-project.587386/

What brought me here was wondering how the Sequoia AWD held up to 1000hp with all that weight and drag abuse. My thought is that if it can survive your build, it will likely survive mine. Tire size might play a part there, but I’ll likely have to trial and error that like you did your fuel system. So, how’s your transfer case holding up? Still in tact?

Also, thank you for the info on your valve train. I’ll be putting that to use as well along with converting the fuel rails to parallel. I’d have never known that had it not been for this thread.

The truck was making 800 whp/800 ft-lbs and the transfer case never complained.
Best of luck with your build!

Hello Viktor,
I was just wondering if you got your tundra out on the track this year and if you were able to break 10 seconds, I just haven’t seen any racing activity here. Maybe you’re not racing it anymore,

Hi, I parted the race truck out this summer. My best 1/4 mile time was 10.8 and best 0-60 was 2.6 seconds with 1 ft rollout.
I am in the Calgary area. Cheers!
