Engine upgrades

Depends on what you build and how safe a tune you give it.

The depth of your wallet and breadth of your skills are big factors too.

Not to mention if you want a big numbers dyno queen or a practical application.

Nice!!!!

 

I'll just leave this here

 

Oh my!!!!!

 

How much does that cost usually?

 

I just did a oil change and I guess I had bad rings or something and about 2k miles later I heard knocking and and then boom lol Sounded like I threw rods an I checked the oil an completely burnt up.... rip...

 

So now that I’m ripping it apart I want to put some type of new upgraded heads rods etc.... looking no more then like 5gs I’m willing to spend to rig it up

 

How many miles on the truck?

 

sounds like you fucked up that oil change.....

 

No shit!!! OP you sure you put the drain plug back in the oil pan when you changed it?

 

Ya no leaks everything was done right But truck has 120k miles

 

oil completely burned up? what does that mean

 

Means nothing

 

120k on a 2014..... jezus.

yeah, you failed at some point, even at 2x that mileage a motor wont just go pop.

 

If you have to ask.......

 

It’s a 2012

 

I recently replaced my oil drain plug with a more aerodynamic oil plug and got an increase in hp by 35%


Ok might have been less....... On a serious note. I installed a CAI by volant with an intake scoop, looks nice and all but honestly don't notice much except a sweet sound. I was told to replace the camshaft with bigger lobes..... I'm wondering if anyone has done this swap and what difference did you get? Another one I heard was to Port but not polish the throttle body inlet housing as the roughness by not polishing creates a "better" air "mix" before entering the intake manifold thus more power..... Any thoughts on these mods, let me know I'm looking to get more ponies on my 15 Tacoma

 

Yeah. I 2nd this.

 

Only cams you can get are a custom order through Kelford cams. Or send yours in to Web Camshafts, to have them re-lobe yours. Neither option is cheap. I know personally. Around ~$1200-1600.

Then you have to consider the amount of lift you want, and if it will create the potential for valve to piston interference when the intake cam gear phases. Too much lift and you'll have to lock out the intake cam gears, or they will hit.
