"Toyota Drops v6 Going 4 Cylinder Turbo" a Video

If it works as well as the Ford 2.3 4cyl with turbo it will be a winner.

 

Only if they pair it with a hybrid system to take up the turbo lag. I have yet to drive a turbo (yes even the recent fords) that matches the drivability of a non-turbo engine.

 

Turbo hybrid torque monster with 30+ mpg…make it freaking happen so we can all stick a fork in this turd generation pig!

 

Yes please!!!

 

Will it include a nice knock sound?

 

Never has any engineer ever said "let's add to turbo (or two) to increase reliability". At the same time, let's lightweight the engine and increase the compression.
I don't know how it will all turn out, but all these things seem to be working against longevity and reliability.

 

Gov wants 25 mpg by 2025, looks like 23'-24' will be test subjects.
All new ideas have to start somewhere sometime.

First year will be interesting

 

Cool.

I know what I won’t be buying.

There’s no expectation of long-term longevity for these things, but the manufacturer only cares up until the powertrain warranty runs out.

We’ve been playing the turbo game long enough to know that with seven or eight year old turbo cars the engines are essentially completely clapped out.

 

yeccch
If NA can't get it, then I need more displacement

 

Yeah....no turbo, thanks.

 

everything the government touches turns to shit.

What every mechanic tells me.

 

More stuff to break. Rather just have a straight 8 or 6. These engines are getting too complicated and costly to repair.

 

And cost to buy, PLUS repair !

 

I listen to my I6 in my Jeep purring like a sewing machine with only one computer ,... those days are long gone.
Todays RAV4 has 54 computers, wonder how many the Tacoma has? OR WILL HAVE??

 

And I used to walk barefoot through the snow to pickup milk for my mom.

 

Will it come with a 25,000 mile oil change schedule?

 

Uphill both ways too,...
