>4.5l turbo diesel v8
>420nm of torque
I get that landcruisers are built for reliability above all else but 420nm from an engine this size is stupidly low, right? A Touareg for example puts out 900nm from a 4.0 turbo diesel v8, literally more than double the torque from a smaller engine
Japs always were kinda shit at torque, but where does that torque start at?
I do admit that looks kinda shit from a turbodiesel of all things, must be extremely low boost and understressed with frick off massive main bearings
The first American diesels with common rail injection made 600-700nm from 6 liters so it is a fair amount of torque considering the engine was developed in 2007 which is around the same time.
Americans are also tourqelets, BMWs mercs and audis were making that torque with half the engine since 1999
Yeah, like a BMW 3 litre straight 6 diesel has been making 410nm from the factory since 2000.
You could argue that the toyoder and whatever amrecian diesel is less stressed, but here in Europe Benz and BMW disel swaps are fairly common into 4x4 vehicles like toyota landcruisers and nissan patrols due to parts availability, power and reliability.
The BMW M67 made 560 to 600nm from 4 litres and over 700 in the 4.4 litre models, but that was a twin turbo though.
Since I'm a balkaner I drove every single BMW diesel and a lot of merc diesels, what americans and japs get out of engines is pathetic.
Also M67 is such a surprisingly good engine
most likely caused by insufficient fuel injection
Don’t need torque to park on your suburban verge with a kings canopy and arb front bar.
How do you think they achieve reliability?
This. That's the key to reliability. Same reason why a 250hp 1uz goes a million miles
Regular maintenance has nothing to do with it
That's pretty moronic but if you say so
>dude like its so heckin reliable bro like it will LITERALLY outlive me and my cuckhold relationship
How will Toyotagays cope when daddy government tells them they can't drive their million mile Toyota cause its very polluting and therefore they have to switch to an EV
Drive it anyway
never happen.
the same reason pop ups on my aw11 are legal and a model t is still legal drive.
you're just a dumb c**t.
Iirc the diesel landcruiser engines come tuned waaaay down from the factory so they last longer or something.
>The LandCruiser is a four-wheel drive 4 door with 7 seats, powered by a 4.5L DIESEL TURBO V8 engine that has 200 kW of power (at 3400 rpm) and 650 Nm of torque (at 1600 rpm) via a Six-speed Automatic.
the top trim of the family wagon version, they actually go pretty hard.
Meanwhile a 6 seater family wagon in America makes twice as much power and TQ. That same engine is used in commercial applications like 5 ton trucks and backup power generators. Really makes you think.
well personally id rather a trackhawk, just adding to the conversation.
Trackhawks are nice but they can't go off road or tow a 20k lb trailer. I also wouldn't trust one out of warranty.
