Just a few tidbits of knowledge from across the pond.
The 3rz-fe stock rods/crank block are great for boost. The ONLY weak point with the lower end is the pistons which tend to melt 1350 degrees F+ - as they are a cast alloy that doesn't take well to too much boost (say 15lbs or more) but up to that they are very very stout motors.
For a one example of how strong and well these motors handle, Luis of Paradise Racing ( www.paradiseracing.com ) Has a turbo 3rz swapped into his AE86 with the only internal part change being low comp pistons, running in the 8's in the quarter.
A good resource to search through and/or ask questions would be www.customtacos.com - a toyota tacoma (hilux) website/club over here. One guy on there Jerry has done 3-4 turbo tacoma/hilux motors to my knowledge. The first one being a 2rz that he daily drove at 15 psi, and didn't blow till he raced a chevrolet camaro ss - and beat it on 23psi, stock block/internals.
If you're willing to pay, a nice turbo manifold which installs with just slight modification of the right side motor mount (bracket must be ground a slight bit for fitment) can be had from www.benzboy.com (about 350 or 400usd last i checked) or for quite a bit more from www.lcengineering.com (6-900 usd from what I can remember)
I would hazard to guess that these motors would safely do just over double the hp. (my motor as well, turbo manifold, turbo and other goodies in the closet for my own 3rz-fte)
If you want a real testament to the strength of the stock block, crank and rods search for info on the NHRA Turbo Celica - it's 1000hp on the STOCK toyota 3rz block, crank and rods. Granted the rods have probably been shot peened, crank polished and motor blue printed (amongst other sponsored race team niceties)... but still a great example of what these motors are capable of.
