Superior Engineering V8 vs 4-cylinder 79 Series Toyota Landcruiser. Head-To-Head Drag Race. 

No they wont, so you go and buy the hybrid v6 tacoma that is being released. They will be a flop, as people prefer the RAMs, silverados and F250, because if you have that kin of money you wont that V8 or big diesel taste and smell. The new CEO wants more electrification and hybrids so thats the way toyota is heading even the new, the new SE concept was just released to to prove that. We might be lucky and get a GR version with a single turbo V6 diesel, so hold your cash till that happens.

@@MakingMoneyyy857 tundra is coming but doubt Tacoma will come

I think the new one should have an fte

Well the comparison is the fact that the highly modified V8 isn’t much better than a factory 2.8 if the v8 was factory it would be a very sad look for it.

@@superiorengineering Yes, but that's not really a surprise... you should have at least spend a similar amount of money to tune the 2.8...

@@luckyluke6336 the 2.8 *is* tuned...

Also those mods are super crapy and looks laughingly dauchy

I think that you have forgot that there is a v6 variant also

The preference isn’t really that much different, literally only difference is a turbo, other then that it has an auto which makes it even with gear change.

Yeah, it's only been a production engine since 2015. It's way too early to tell...

@@t0msie the 70 series spec is new. Might be great - might not be.

The new face look like a cruiser. The old square headlights no matter how tough they look still look mine speck no matter what.

I don’t know where you are pay $104k for a 4cyl but I’d avoid that dealership.

@@superiorengineering Yeah - I've got a 2.8 coming in a few weks, and it was $85K drive away, so nowhere near $104K...

My trust in the "test" disappeared at that moment 😂

Thats why we did the race to show that losing the v8 from the market isn’t a bad thing.

@@superiorengineering Got ya 👌🏼 Honestly does my head in when people buy the 1VD and think they are hero’s when in fact they are just shit house. Bring back the FTE

@@MR-hu1bx Not sure why you'd let other peoples actions that don't directly effect you do your head in but ok. I would say that people that have purchased the 1VD in the 200 and 70 series because that was the only engine available not because they want to think they're hero's but if someone did what does that matter to you? the 1GD has only recently been released in the 70 series and if you want a 300 you're stuck with the v6, at the very least people have an option with the 70s platform or had I should say (moving forward if you want a v8 you'll just have to get a 2nd hand one). You're like that vegan that cant stand the guy next to him enjoying a meat pie.

The 2.8 was at the track for gvm upgrade testing seats were removed so we didn’t ruin them with 500 kgs of sand bangs.

This car has only been driven on the track so far it has around 75km on the clock, this will be part of testing once we get the car fully finished and road faze of testing begins.

@@superiorengineering I’m exited to see what you guys do with it because it looks hectic I’d love an auto 76 like that

We may in the future, the 2.8 has to be standard for our ssm testing which is why we were at the track in the first place.

I agree. The 1KD had a reputation for cracking pistons when working hard and although the 1GD is meant to be better, I’ve heard they still can crack pistons when worked hard. Obviously the 70 series is heavier and less slippery through the air than the Hilux and Prado and people use them generally for heavier towing so time will tell if they do this long term reliably. There’s a lot of stress being spread among those 4 pistons as compared to the 8 in the V8.

This is the exact reason of the video the 2.8 has great drive ability. The V8 just had the age old bigger is better following.
