blown engine

i need a new engine or used..... any good sights to get one? or a free one jk

 

What happened to yours

 

car-part.com maybe

 

well apparently doing cookies and redlining it for a long period of time isnt good for your engine and may cause it to blow up like mine... haha.

 

Nice

 

thanks max

 

Video's or it didn't happen

 

ha maybe my local airport caught it on there lawn camera. but i sure didnt record it.

 

has anyone ever considered putting the 5.7 iForce engine in a taco? i saw one that was at SEMA but that's it.

 

i suggested putting a diesel in it but my grandpa said H. to the NO. Whats SEMA

 

First concern I would have is if the original engine can be rebuilt. If not you will be looking at paying a core charge unless you buy a used engine. That aside, it depends on what you are wanting to replace it with. Do you want a rebuilt engine, or will a used engine be ok? If a used engine is ok, then you can look at http://info.automotix.net/usedengines/2005-toyota-tacoma-inventory.html?fit_notes=9c6aed9337fbe00505a79fb574e06080&seq_num=4

and go from there. The good thing is that their engine prices include shipping. You may need to find a place with a loading dock that will let you unload it, or a place with a forklift to unload it. I have bought engines and transmissions through this network with reasonable success. One time the engine came in and was locked up, and they quickly sent a replacement.....and left the locked up engine with me.....Now I have a spare Nissan 3000 that I can rebuild....

 

i wonder how hard it would be to put an iforce in a taco?

 

thank you Sir

 

SEMA's a car show in Las Vegas, here's a write up about the truck. the idea of it is pretty intense, and i'm sure it'd be one of a kind. the only problem would be if it fits, and how many things your gonna replace to get it to work in the way it should. my guess is you'd have to replace t he computer, Diff, transmission and suspension for the added weight. really though i'd research the heck out of the subject before you invest your life's savings into your truck.

 

yeah that sounds bad ass but i dont have the time for that.

 

That's quite an expensive lesson to learn about what not to do to these engines

 

Doing donuts (or cookies?) on the lawn at your local airport and blowing up your engine? Maybe you should just stick to a bicycle.

 

Im sure he learned his lesson. It wasnt an easy way though.

 

Will he be paying for it? And if yes, why the hell did you do something so stupid? Now if your bought the truck and are responsible for paying for it and all repairs, then shit happens.

 

LOL it had to come to this eventually!
