1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Don't forget the other dumb one, the expanding earth theory

 

Not the mighty 4.0 then. More reliable and powerful than the 3.4 with the same or better fuel economy.

 

Well just as reliable at least

 

4.0 is a good engine, dunno if it is more reliable or not, has early run head gasket issues like the 1FZ and some rather interesting SAIS failures that can take it out and fairly common timing chain stretch related valve train failures. I'd rock one though, but the second gen is a bit too big for what I do. Be fun to put the 1gr in a first gen. 3.4 is less efficient but monetarily pretty efficient to make much more power than a 1gr with.

 

Is he still continuing from yesterday?

 

We're cheering him on at this point

 

If only he put this much effort into something productive

 

Said as you consider selling your high mileage and old truck over fear of more issues

 

He said "people in the states" as if we're foreigners

 

$23/hr sounds like an entry level position and correct me if I'm wrong you are looking for entry level job. I've had to grind for ten years to go from $22/hr to where I am today. The experience is what gets you more pay, so the sooner you start the sooner you can move up. Sorry but you aren't going to get a lot of money out of the gate as you are still unproven.

Now why would I do that?

 

You know whats a really slept on engine?



2gr-fe.

 

I like my oil to be at the pickup tube rather than stuck in the heads

 

Except all the toyota engines have this problem on track...

 

The 2GR has it going slow on inclines :/

 

If you are on them long enough yeah thats true...
Maybe ill add some external drains on some of mine.
Was planning on it for the low body already

 

Does the 2GR-FSE have it as well?

Edit:FSE

 

I thought that was only when used in a 4WD application when it’s mounted transversely like the 3rd gen. I haven’t heard of many issues in a Camry.

 

I’ve read about the 5S engines having this issue when used for budget racing. I’ve always thought the 5VZ would be a good choice for budget endurance racing.
