An engine 🚒 like this im my Daewoo lanos 🎉🎉🎉🎉
2gr fe turbo is reall?
Hindsight is a beautiful thing and I want to acknowledge that before saying a 2GR engine from a heavy car (Hilux, Estima, etc) should be rebuilt and retuned to fit into a lighter car. High-load, low velocity to low-load, high velocity. Imo. Great video! 😊
The music is so annoying
Can the 2zzge pistons work in the 2gr?
was it the downshift? no rev match making everything try to catch up on rpms
Oil was supposed to be added and then had the engine block turned so the fluid would go through engine, and then the car was hard driven immediately, no no even with new cars.
Sounds like spun bearings to me, right from the jump.
Keep seeing this happen in 2gr mr2s. Wondering if the tilt of the motor is causing a starvation issue…
Seems plausible… dunno
There's no way you guys actually listen to this shitty music, is there? Is it cheap to get your hands on for a video or something? Absolutely awful.
Would you guys do a booster build for me? I want this in my MR2 bad!
This is good shit! Its inspiring me to build the v6 in my venza
Next time remove rocker covers, sump, timing cover, cams, heads, pistons and THEN crank mains.
Best car Chanel out there 🫶🏽
most likely low oil on the first crank, bearing 6 gets the oil last.
Blew the motor in an rx450h and now I’m here.
Glad you did this. Had a feeling, but good to know for sure. (Yeah I just found your channel & am catching up. lol)
Where is the best place to get a 2GR-FE engine for my MRS
Oil starvation on a 2GR? LOL never happens and never will. 2GR's are supper durable, but a bearing is a thing piece of metal that can wear out, it happens.
Most of the time if something brakes in a toyota motor its because it simply wore out, you could run it without oil for a day and still probably not brake anything.
If I had to guess before I watched it….broken rod
Seems like a bad installation
did you guys sleeve the engine block?
This i liked so much
What did you end up doing with this motor?
I never see about supra mk4 on your youtube
I am going to comment on every video shooting my shot please build my dream builds with my miata or mr2
Love the opening!
If anything they tunes is good
Didn’t prime the oil system after adding coolers and lines.
What kind of wheels are those
That song was really annoying, not gonna lie. Let's put that on the don't play again list, lol.
Them are rods touching the crank shaft
My thoughts are that the oiling system wasnt primed properly as the first start had a horrible rattle due to the top end not having oil pressure yet. They had talked about idling it for a while to see if oil pressure would make it go away but by that point it was too late.
1:00 thats some dang audible porn
It was due to a poor quality oil!
Build that motor with billet goods an if you can get it stroked with upgraded cams.
In respect those pulley bolts impacting with the Frankenstein engine mount. Given you only found this on the teardown (after the new motor had gone into Brett's car), didn't they do the same thing on the new motor??
These guys are clueless
Stuff break but with cars that's the main event lol aside from driving them
So it wasn’t the dudes fault who full sent it????
I have this engine in my Avalon
Rod bearing
Perfect companion to my meals
Why are rod bearings such a pain in the ass weak point?
I absolutely know nothing about cars yet I sit here for hours watching you guys content.
Damnnn…well thank god you guys fixed the mr2
The 2gr-fe that came in the Tacoma trucks(oil cooled) had an issue with the rod bearings not seating correctly. Thus resulting in randomly spun bearings. It is a common failure. Just like the water pumps on all 2gr engines are known to fail around 120k miles. The second engine you got was from either a camry or a es350. They are a much stronger, healthier version of the engine. Hope that explains it a bit more.
