DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I can see that going south in a hurry with all of that atkinson cycle shit

 

We want a turbo just like Ford

 

Dont curse it with that bad mojo. It could be fun though not in my budget for a long long time.

 

Right... I have an RC addiction to feed

 

I cant even afford the parts I want for my truck let alone another hobby...

 

Wellllll that minivan motor ain't gonna like boost very well...I would hate to be the test subject.

 

Minivans haul lots of ass.... someone will test for us

 

Been used in more than just a minivan.

2GR-FKS
Applications (calendar years):

• 2016-present Toyota Tacoma (GRN305/310/325/330)[9]
• 2015-present Lexus GS 350 (GRL12/16)[10]
• 2015-present Lexus RX 350 (GGL20/25)[11]
• 2017 Lexus LS 350 (XF50) 237 kW (318 hp) (China)
• 2017 Toyota Highlander (GSU50/55)
• 2017 Toyota Sienna (GSL30/33/35) 221 kW (296 hp)
• 2017 Toyota Camry (GSV70) 224 kW (301 hp)

 

It's not a motor meant for boosted applications, thus why it's placed in those vehicles. I foresee a number of connecting rods creating windows in the blocks

 

its the beginning of an aftermarket. once these guys boost it too high, and break stuff, someone will make a stronger part

 

Nevermind that junky trans behind that motor. The driveline is the weakest part of the 3rd gen truck and will suffer badly behind a boosted application.

 

Did someone say turbo? Thats a hobby I can get into!

 

Just because I really dont know... Where did you find this out? Im actually not joking. I like knowing what im in for and I thought Toyota was reliable, hence my purchase.

 

Oh shit, now we have a badass over here

 

Toyota is reliable for the most part. The 3rd gen was rushed into production and its showing now. Then you add the poor quality control from the factory and you get a lot of the issues that they have now.

 

Yes, that I agree with. The guy that did the tune for the engine and tranny said it looked like a rush job. After the tune though its really nice, just sucks it needed to be tuned to make it feel like it should have from the factory. I was lucky with mine and the fluids were fine and I missed all the recalls and have none of those issues

 

I'm probably late to the party, but just in case anyone needs the 3rd Gen Service Manual:

Compliments of @gearcruncher

 

Only way I would own a 3rd gen is in a manual trans configuration

 

So... I can now get a turbo for my wife's 17 Highlander? She could really make good time picking up the kids from daycare.

 

Is that a high standard though? You subscribed to mine and that thing fell over
