is a 2jz engine good?

This engine is strong as hell. For starters, all versions of the 2JZ used a cast iron block. That's not great where weight is concerned, but for ultimate strength, it's ideal. Papadakis also points out that the 2JZ is a closed-deck engine, which means the cylinders themselves are quite strong.

IMO the 1.8 Zetec is a far better car than the 2.0 Ghia. The 1.8 engine is a lovely drive and the performance difference between the two is negligible. Also you get all the horrible fake wood with the Ghia.

G6's are perfectly adequate vehicles, but nothing special. V6 allows for a sporty feeling car. Parts aren't too expensive and are easily available. 3.5L motor seems pretty reliable.

Even the 1JZ was a partnership between Toyota and Yamaha, and the great 2JZ was Toyota taking Yamaha's work up a step in size. ... It was Toyota's first engine with four valves per cylinder, it had a variable intake system, dual-overhead cams, then a supercharger and then Japan's first twin-turbo production engine.

Overall verdict. The BMW M240i looks sporty but is also reasonably usable for a small coupe. Thankfully, boring stuff like practicality hasn't come at the expense of making the M240i great fun to drive, and its brilliant turbocharged 3.0-litre engine always feels at the centre of the action.

It was reliable, good on fuel, and easy to ride. It's fine if you just want to get from A to B. However, if you want a fun bike I would not recommend them. My bike was an '08 (pre fuel injection), so the newer ones may be better, but mine was really dull.

Ciaz is a good buy in the given range and provides a great deal over the design, engine and specifications. It is available in diesel avatar and costs you near around 10 lacs.

BMWs are reliable, but Japanese cars actually have a better track record. BMW models are officially rated “average” or “below average” by auto magazines and hobbyists. Though the company promises long intervals between servicing, the fact is that their turbocharged models often have more problems more often.

They're great shafts. If you're on a budget and an extra $100 is a deal-breaker for you, then it really won't make too much of a difference (over a common $200 LD shaft). If money is not issue, that extra $100 for the Z3 will probably be worth it.

In terms of servicing it, it is not as easy as our Case or JD or Gleaner, but not bad either. The chopper works really well (Pro-Chop) and the auto header height is good. If you are willing to tinker with it it really does a great job. Ours has a C13 Cat engine and since it is pre-DEF the DPF has been a real pain.

Its smoothness and powerband are surprisingly good: The fuel injection meters flawlessly, and the power (modest though it may be) is linear all the way up to redline. The six-speed gearbox's shifting is likewise excellent. And as with any 250, you'll be spending a lot of time flirting with that redline.

I've found it to be reliable in the sense that parts last a long time and the engine takes quite a bit to kill. However, all XJ's are getting old and most need parts to be replaced. The original parts lasted 200000+ in most cases, and that's pretty good.

The engine is geared for an optimal balance of low end torque and high horsepower to provide smooth, reliable power to help you get the job done. The plush suspension travel and refined cab comfort for two, creates an excellent ride. Even though it has a great towing capacity of 1,500 lbs.

Tractor-Holic Onans are good engines,until its time to repair them--in my experience they rarely need work,but when they do,your bank account will suffer greatly. I would look for another running Onan before trying to tear one down and repair it myself..

Question: “Are CVT transmissions really that bad?” No. they are really quite good at very efficiently transferring power while smoothly varying the gear ratio to efficiently use the engine's torque.

The MSD is a good solid ignition but don't expect it to make more power or give you better gas milage on a stock engine. HiPo engine yes it will do all that.

Good all round car, with excellent reliability and great fuel economy. No breakdowns in 4yrs and only one minor repare to correct (reporgramme) a faulty window winder switch. 40mpg for a petrol engine large estate is outstanding especially as most journeys are local.
