tb48de 4.8 v6 engine vs 2uzfe v8 engine

[thalj]

hi im a toyota fan and i wanted to ask about the tb48de engine found in a nissan patrol.. its is a 4.8 dohc inline engine..

my question is the 4.8 v6 engine found in a nissan patrol stronger than the 2uzfe v8 engine found in a toyota tundra when turbo charging it ?

i know stock vs stock.. nissan is stronger due to its wieght and power.. but what about modifications.. if anyone knows about this plz post..

 

[Jake Breyck]

so is it a V or inline?

i know stock vs stock.. nissan is stronger due to its wieght and power..

this sentence makes no sense. do you mean that it weighs less and has more power than the 2UZ-FE?

I'd say heavier and stronger ???
Depends on engineering but imo straight six's are stronger due to amount if mains....

 

[thalj]

Nop i mean the nissan body weighs more less and a toyota tundra..

anyways is the 4.8 v6 inline stronger in modification than a 2uzfe v8 v engine

C'mom guys get a grip , either it's an inline 6 OR a V6 , NOT BOTH !!
As a note the patrol has an inline 6 .

back to my question. do you know what the V means in V6 or V8? its not just a randomass letter people like to slap in front of motors, it does have a lot of meaning, and it does not apply to all motors.

Not having anything to do with engine itself... Its a straight 6 btw...
I wouldn't hesitate to fit turbo or forced induction to one...
I usually fit low comp pistons and replace rods.. But if your after 36% power gain and 50 % more torque ?? Go for it...
It seems a new thing to fit late model 4 wheel drive engines in sedans lately and turbo them.. There's an old Toyota Crown going around with a Landcruiser 4.5 6 cyl, turbocharged .. It pulls low 12's on the 1/4...

In N.Z there was a guy fitting a Nissan 6 with turbo conversion to an old 240K / Skyline... Truck style engines SEEM to be stronger in rotating assemblies.. Though I wouldn't rev them high I would say they'd take some boost....

 

[thalj]

but you guys didnt tell me what you think .. is the 4.8 6 cylinder inline from a nissan patrol stronger in modifcation than a toyota tundra v8 2uzfe engine ?

How long is a piece of string?

Dollar for Dollar I think the Nissan would win.

Whilst it's not known for revving that's fine in a 4be.

They are not an economical engine to start with so once you start modifying them you will need a big fuel tank and an equally big wallet.

THe 2UZ suffers weak rods and replacement rods are not cheap.

that MS75 crown coupe has run a 10.75 using a turbocharged 1FZFE with a custom inlet plenum.

"truck style engines"...? i take it you mean inline engines...?

i would turbocharge the Patrol six personally unless you plan on upgrading the 2UZ rods to Argo or Carillo or whatever.

the nissan inline sixes are pretty stong units, getting a good sized turbo on them shouldn;t be a problem as their rev range is comparitively narrow so use a big exhaust housing (1.00 A/R or bigger) with a BIG external wastegate and a 0.6 or 0.7 A/R compressor housing. Your exhaust manifold pipe size should match your exhaust port size (or be >just< smaller than) not unlike the setup Dazz used and you'll be laughing all the way from idle to redline.

The Crown was at Wsid / Eastern Creek and run Autronic...
Was having issues with over fueling....
