I would say FTE is definitely the pinnacle, the EFI aside it’s a better engine. It has better pistons, better valves, a better head (better coolant flow) and a stiffer block. Although the EFI system results in a more reliable long term package (pump seems to go for much longer than the full mech...

No, it’s because the 1HZ is utterly gutless, and was in many different models from 1990 to 2006. The 1HD-T was only in 80 series and only between 1990 and 1996 (give or take a year or two - I’m not an 80 series expert). The 1HD-T doesn’t over heat, crack heads and crack pistons like a 1HZ-T, but...

Ha ha it’s pretty gutless. Can still f*** up a front diff and an R151 though

No worries. Not sure the 1HZ is more reliable than an FT - if its oil is as clean as an FTE (not sure if this is the case?) it could be a high mileage potential.

I stand corrected I thought it was the turbo but it’s clearly the tune. Either way, a turbo and a tune go a long way…

FT is a heaps better engine. It’s smoother, heaps better air flow, heaps more power potential and never suffers from BEB issues. It seems 1HD-T have an inherent design flaw in that the piston pulses seem to create premature BEB wear - it’s not the just the bearings that are at fault (especially...

FTE this is arse about - on average, over the long term, the FTE is more reliable. The computers are incredibly reliable - over the life time of the average vehicle they will be 100% fault free (yes there are anomalies). The pump lasts a lot longer on the FTE than any of the Toyota mechanicals...
