1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Damn, I suppose I'll try it again this evening. I don't have the stuff to do a nitrogen charge but I could pressurize it with shop air though I understand that's a nono

 

Don't put air in there!

 

Gawd damn it @eon_blue just buy it
1991 Toyota Land Cruiser SR5

Has to be 93 or newer for 80 series. 91-92 had the anemic but durable 3FE engine. You think 4cyl auto 4x4 taco is slow? Hahahaha

 

Yea but 2k

 

It's durable but not overly strong either. Only 4 main bearings vs the 1FZ's 7 mains. Plus no one wants to mess with manual valve adjustments and flat tappet pushrod engines anymore, especially when it doesn't pump out enough power to move the vehicle it's mounted in haha.

 

It's funny I drive my 80 with 40" XMLs(115 lbs a tire), 230k miles, 800 lbs of armor etc... Regeared to 4.88 so helps a bit but the damn pig is quicker than my taco.... Wtf

 

People who don't maintain the trans give that a bad rap. It's really easy, and the trans will last forever unadjusted but the reaction is ultimately too slow as the trans will ride in between two gears and waste power fighting them against each other. takes like 45mins to remove the pan and adjust it, and it'll be good for pretty much ever cause the new parts to wear out.

 

Yeah when the body and chassis of the cruiser changed to weigh a thousand lbs more, 1991, you'd think that'd have been the end of the 3FE.
Now the 1FZ is my favorite engine, I like it better than than the 2UZ in the hundy, though not as refined. Way overbuilt, never hear of bearing failures, etc. I like how serviceable most of engine bay is and decent room to work too

 

RIP Maax

 

Plus the throaty inline 6 chop is way better then the rasp from the tiny (for a V8) 4.7 V8.

 

Yeah that tranny is out of the Toyota city busses that weigh twice as much the Cruiser. The trannies are great in the Cruisers

 

It really is a beautiful sounding engine. Did you see on Mud where some dude in middle east had his 80 series 1FZ twin turboed? Was freaking amazing. Another guy in mid east I think also had his 1FZ hitting 1k hp? Maybe I'm dreaming, been a while but they do some crazy stuff to their Cruisers in middle east man

 

Yeah they do some crazy things to em. The 1FZ is so stout in stock form I wouldn't hesitate to boost the shit outta one if I didn't have other things on my list to tackle. There's an austrailian team make 1800HP on a 1FZ that was destroked to a 4.0 and it's mounted in a GT86.
