I would say that bumper drastically cuts down on airflow through the heat exchangers but I’m not sure where it comes from with the stock bumper.. the side grilles are blocked off too.
6:02 in the following video shows heat exchangers under the headlights, likely for the intercooler as is done in the X5/6 M5/6, touareg/cayenne/macaan, and a bunch of cars these days. These will pose a problem for any aftermarket bumpers.
I agree with all of that, and haven’t made clear.. despite my opinion that this engine may be “less” reliable I feel toyota had no choice but to go this direction.
Totally agree on “good luck”..
More complicated is an easy path to less reliable, is my point. Plus in this case we have significantly greater stresses too.
Larger, lower-stressed engines have been one part of the LandCruiser earning it’s reputation as being so durable. This new engine is a...
So sustained horsepower output doesn’t matter? In a forced induction gasoline-fueled engine? Especially one tuned to “drive like a diesel” (without the iron block or long stroke or high-mass pistons or lower EGTs) , which means more output achieved by sheer force, as opposed to using more rpms...
I dream of such a thing.
Meanwhile most of the major manufacturers are busy lobbying against our right to repair our own property.
As for lockers and hacking, at least with my understanding of current crawl control implementation it won’t even notice a locked diff.. it just won’t have any...
It does. And it isn’t lost on me that modern engines are far more reliable than ones of the past that were simpler, but this is a large step in complexity.
Time will tell.
All new with much more complexity than a port injected v8, between the turbos, air/liquid intercooler, port + direct injection, electronic thermostat.. all pushing significantly more force than the v8 from a smaller block with one less main bearing and two less rod bearings.
I do think Toyota...
I’m not so sure about a tundra arm swap on the 300. The pics of the TRD pro arms (all I can find) have the lower shock mount attached to a leg that sticks up from the arm. The 300 arms have the shock bolt going into the midline of the arm like the current 200.
