You could add a running 5VZ to the list...

 

id love to.


but im seriously going to be broke by the time corona is over.. its looking like 150 dollar pay checks the next few weeks..

 

Now you just need the car that fits

 

2 5vz-fe
1 om617

 

That's almost its own ecosystem. You just run the 617 off the waste oil from the oil changes on the Toyotas

do you do this?

 

3.4 v6
Whatever is in a 2002 avalon
3.5 v6

 

Yes sir... still need to get around to making that adapter plate for the swap... i just went off the deep end with the 4 runners front suspention

 

02 avalon is a 1mz-fe

 

The MZ engines are weird. Their layout looks almost more like a 90-degree V6

 

other than the slude issue.. theyre solid little engines..


and theres a 1200hp camry with one it in.. all aluminum block with closed deck, not bad

 

I've been admiring cylinder support systems. They seem to be one of the only companies making deck closing kits that are actually machine properly and press-fit to a tolerance that won't budge under the force of the head

 

They don’t make sleeves for the 2gr. I was just going to darton sleeve it unless monkey wrench will work a sea for my core and sending me a open deck block. I don’t plan on boosting

 

But fucking how

 

@Empty_Lord @cruiserguy @Speedytech7

Do you guys have any preference for EBC, StopTech, or any particular type of drilled slotted rotors for a heavy vehicle like a Cruiser or Tundra?

If I keep the original 21 yo LX rotors, I will need to get them turned to smooth out a couple of grooves. Though the brakes were smooth, I don't think the rotors have ever been turned. They didn't pass the fingernail test. O'Reilly does a good job with turning rotors and drums. I'm just weighing decisions at this point about rotors.

I usually like to keep brake parts with a products that I can easily get locally in the event I need to do an exchange or run into problems during warranty. So I would be venturing out of my parts comfort zone with drilled/slotted rotors.

Looks like this guy is using some type of coated EBC rotors.

Side note that the previous owner really did install new National wheel bearings and seals like he stated. The bearings and seals are good. No complaints.

 

Body lift

 

Somehow I just knew that was going to happen. Trucks moving to V6 TT versions shared with the luxury sports car line.

 

So just another douche.
