Blown engine

Hey, keep boosting til it blows. But wouldn't it be awesome if only someone could ever figure out a way to tune an engine for more torque in a truck than in a sports car or a luxury sedan.

 

That's more torque than anything made before the eco boost but alright.



Not everyone thinks their pickup is a race car.

 

ya, I hear you but your not going to get that out of "dinky" 5.0 without a charger or boost, the torque peak is just going to be higher, even the 5.7 peaks higher than the 3.4 by a decent amount.

if we are going back to NA V8, lets get that 6.2 or 6.7 Iforce V8 and not mess around.

 

ya, because low end torque in a truck is only about racing, you know better than that.

but yes, things do progress over time, more and more power is added and becomes the new expectations. When is the point of diminishing returns? IDK, I think the large diesel guys are still trying to find the top, lol.

 

Count me in!!!... when gas goes back to $1.00/gallon. No way Toyota ever goes this route. While there are plenty of vocal people here who claim to not care how much $ they spend on fuel, it is different out in the real world.

 

Easiest and most reliable way to get big torque at low RPMs - large displacement engines. Ask Rory Irish. No one that has to build their own torque monster machine is picking a v6 or a small block.

 

My old daily made around 1500lbs of torque haha. Was fun but not very practical. A blast though to launch in 4wd!

 

no argument there , I said forget the 5.0 if we are going back to a v8, go bigger

 

agreed. I would much prefer to own the hybrid powertrain that is currently installed in the Tundra. 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque is wow. I have seen some vids of this powertrain beating stock raptor. Granted wont smoke a Raptor R..but man its very impressive on what it has in stock form. I have 35s installed with a 3" lift from Dobinsons Racing..its fast and is very capable.

 

I don't think it's very fast, it just moves around real easy, handles grades no problem , elevation no problem and pulls trailers much easier than the old one. That's all thanks to the really low torque peak (2,400) and max lbs (479)

I have 0 interest in racing a truck , lol.

 

2025 19k miles getting a new short block.

 

Is this yours?

 

Where do the majority of blown engine start to fail, 20K miles, 30K?
I’m just short of 20K and getting nervous

 

Latest data showed half the failures have occurred over 50k miles. Some have been as low as a few hundred miles. Seems rather unpredictable.

So many parts to keep track of!
This guy seems pretty competent, but do you think there are one, or more, of him at every dealership to do the job right?
I doubt it!
Dreading the thought that my girl needs to go through this…
