They learned absolutely nothing from ww2

The more complex it is the better it is.

>>511264217 (OP)
we produce a lot of engineers who have to justify their own existence rather than making themselves obsolete. if you could repair your engine on your own it wouldn't be any good would it?

>>511264684
he's only acting like this because germany is still a concentration camp

>>511264684
as a result...

>>511264217 (OP)
Oh they did.
Planned obsolescence is as German as it gets.

>>511264684
Imagine having to fix that on the eastern front. If it was American it wouldnt break down and the russians would have so many that theyd still defeat you even if half broke down before reaching the front line.

everyone in this thread is a shitskin or a chink
just like this whole board
keep seethign at the white man

Well the LS has over a litre more in displacement. Once you start decreasing displacement but want to maintain power output you have to increase complexity. Less displacement but similar power output requires greater efficiency and lower tolerances.

It’s why the LS can run on 6 cylinders and burn a quart of oil a week and keep chugging but an Audi explodes if it’s running a little rich.

They’re legally required to have less displacement and higher fuel efficiency, so complexity becomes a necessity. Americans aren’t weighed down by those burdens.

>>511264217 (OP)
yeah well the Audi is better innit, chevy is a pile of trash

>>511265399

GM bros, not like this

>>511264871
Shit chart because Chevrolet does sell cars in Europe although European Ford (and probably Chevrolet too) models are different from American ones and made in Germany.

>>511266123
It's not true and Opel is also GM btw

>>511266070
kek, first thing I noticed aswell

For a simple pushrod motor they are a fucking shit design where you need to remove the heads anyway to change lifters which are also shit and seize up all the time because GM. At least it's not an Audi though

>>511266201
Pretty sure they sold that to Renault or some shit.

>>511264217 (OP)
what is ze purpose of the complexity?
I read that the main chains have various purposes and make the engine more compact?

>>511266201
Opel is german
and it gets bought by various forign companies so they can learn how to make a proper car

>>511264217 (OP)
europe in general never learns it's lessons and keep banging their head against the wall like some weird autistic child.

>>511265399
>They’re legally required to have less displacement and higher fuel efficiency, so complexity becomes a necessity. Americans aren’t weighed down by those burdens.
It's actually a problem with the newer LS derived motors. The (((government))) forces (((fuel efficiency))) standards and companies create VVT/DoD/AFM all variable valvetrains to reduce fuel consumption. And guess what? Those valve trains ALWAYS fail, it's just a question of when not if. I don't see how this saves fuel in the long run when a brand new truck engine blows up within 20k miles and all the fossil fuels it takes to manufacture, install, deliver etc... The older 5.3 and 5.7s without DoD were basically bulletproof.

>>511264217 (OP)
Holy fuckballs why?

>>511264217 (OP)
Europeans don't build their cars for long distance travel like Americans do. They build gay little compact city cars with a trillion stupid things going on to deal with stop and go urban driving, whereas Chevy builds everything to drive 60mph for 16 hours straight because that is the average American commute to work.

I have always had Toyota as my daily driver. Not going to cange that brand either. Never had any problems with them.
A friend of mine had a Tiguan. The one with the fucking TSI engine. He bought it brand new. And I shit you not. Within 100k km, he had TWO engines that went to hell under warranty. When the car reached 120k+ km, the transmission went to hell.
All these jobs would have been over $30k to fix if it wasnt under warranty. And that just show how horrible VAG is.
People can talk as much as they want about "comfort" and "speed" and "driving abilities" etc etc. But I'll rather be that suburbia dad in a Rav4 that gets from A to B than having my car most of the time at a workshop.

And we like to make jokes about american cars and stuff all the time over here, but I can assure you with 110% certainty, that if you want something reliable, and you either have to chose from a european car brand and a US car brand, chose an american car brand any day. Some US models are probably bad also, but in average US cars are way better than European ones. Thats a fact.

>>511266710
and the next seething shitskin shows up
this whole board is a joke, isnt it

The fabled German quality hasn't been a thing forever. Nowadays chinks make better and cheaper stuff.
This whole continent is just all stagnation, regulations and taxes.

>>511266750
Toyota literally recalls their cars because their engines are failling

>>511266843
cool story
ching chang chong
all chinks make are Evs
and even for that they need germans

>>511266745
The LS platform can do 90-110mph for 15 hours straight without even breaking a sweat. Don't ask how I know that.

>>511266806
Sure sounds good.

>>511266922

thats just racist asians refusing to buy german vehicles

>>511266884
What models do toyota have with engines that are failing? They had some issues with Thundra and Lexus LX.
But thinking that ANY car brand make more reliable cars than Toyota is delusional. Lexus and Toyota end up on first place of reliability every single year. And european cars and especially germans are far down the list. German cars are not even quality anymore. If you go for a Mercedes today, most of the entry level ones is not even Mercedes but Renault engines.

>Lexus and Toyota – over 100,000 cars recalled for engine failure

>Toyota is facing one of its most expensive and complex recalls after discovering a defect in the V-6 twin-turbocharged engines powering both the Tundra pickup trucks and the luxury Lexus LX SUVs. This issue affects vehicles from the 2022 and 2023 model years, specifically those produced between November 2021 and February 2023, and for the Lexus LX, from July 2021 to November 2022.

>What’s wrong with these engines?

>The defect that triggered this large-scale recall can cause the engine to stall suddenly while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. The root of the problem stems from machining debris left inside the engine during production, which can lead to engine knocking, rough operation, difficulty starting, and, in the worst cases, total loss of power.

>In May 2024, Toyota notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of this issue. At the time, the company estimated that only 1% of the 102,092 potentially affected vehicles might exhibit the defect. However, this figure was largely due to limitations in NHTSA’s reporting system, where Toyota explained that it was unable to provide an accurate estimate of the number of vehicles affected.

>Drastic solution: complete engine replacement

>Two months after the initial filing, Toyota still had not determined exactly how many vehicles were affected, leading to a radical decision: replace the engines in every potentially impacted vehicle. This means swapping out the engines in over 100,000 vehicles, including approximately 98,600 Tundras and 3,500 Lexus LX SUVs.

>So far, this solution only applies to non-hybrid versions of the 3.4-liter V-6 twin-turbocharged engines (designated V35A). The hybrid Tundra models are not included in this recall because, in the event of an engine failure, their electric motors can still provide power to the vehicle.

>>511267031
chinks are good at copying german inventions, congrats

>>511264217 (OP)
frankly I noticed the same, every solution that Germans provide is extremely over-engineered and not smart but methodical. Are Germans too afraid of being too radical?

>>511267182
Their Tundra pickup trucks can have bad motors brand new. The guy we rent boats and jetskis has one and he had to take it in for warranty work immediately after buying because there was something wrong with the motor. The dealer gave him a loaner but still, they do have issues. I'd bet money it was related to some type of active fuel management problem but can't remember exactly what the issue was.

He even said "I can't believe that Toyota is even having these issues now"

Chinks are actually innovating in those fields I mentioned. Western producers (you included) keep rebranding the same ancient garbage but with cheaper parts and inferior build qualify while charging the same high price.

>>511264217 (OP)
Variable valves, retard. Most auto making countries make some engines like that.

>>511267528
very creative VPN, chink

>>511267358
Yep this is exactly what happened to the guy we rent boats and jet skis from. He had a brand new Tundra with a blown motor and couldn't believe it happened with a Toyota. In all fairness though I think they're made in the USA now only engineered in USA and this sounds like a MFG issue not a design one.

Probably too many DEI hires in the QC dept

>>511266323
LS are fantastic motors as a whole.

Everything on the SBC derived families are good motors when you have actually worked on them. 400 sbc is probably one of my favorite I have ever dealt with. The ease and robustness of it. Vortec, despite its shortcomings, was a good solid repairable and reliable motor to work on all things considered. LS1 and LS2 and LS3 and LQ4 were all fantastic motors imho. In fact I'd say the best family of motors ever made is the sbc family.

>>511267730
The Tundra is made in USA and designed in Japan. That recall was a MFG defect not a design flaw in the motor. I don't drive nip cars but just to be fair.

>>511267808
the guy youre talking to is not a german
this entire thread is astroturfed

>>511267358
Of course I did. And its an irrelevant number considering how many models Toyota and Lexus have had over the years in the time Toyota has existed as a brand.
That toyota might have an issue with a few models over some years, sure. But try to see all the recalls and issues and piss and shit european cars have. Cant even compare. Im not even going to start talking about british brands like Land Rover, Jaguar, Bentley etc. Land Rover has to be the worst brand ever made, and still, people buy them.

>>511267404
Yeah Toyota had a massive recall on the Thundra ones some years back. Biggest problem in Toyotas history.
But still, they make extremely reliable cars. That toyota in all of its existence have a certain amount of models that fails is microscopic considering how big issues european car brands have. Some of the worst car brands in history with most failures are european. And hell, even today they make cars that are so damn bad they have engine failures and shit befor they even reach 50k miles.

You can go to autotrader.com and look on american car brands and see how many that actually pass 400-500k miles that are for sale. Now try and find a german car who has the same milage where the engine has not been replaced numerous times. American cars are so much better than the average european car its not even funny.

>>511266710
Germans are retards.
However, the American engine shown does not have variable valve timing, like this kraut piece of shit. The American engines with variable valve timing are better designed, though.
Most American mechanic shops do not work on German garbage, because the customers get pissed at the repair costs and the parts are always backorder to next decade.
Germans are all retards that lie due to being arrogant niggers.

Toyota ceased to be in the discussion as reliable the moment they went full EGR, DOHC, VVT, turbo'd small displacement.

Anyways, none of this changes the fact that the LS family of motors and sbc in geberal were arguably the best motors ever made. Simple, robust, repairable.

>>511269037
Retard alert

The irony is that all of GMs most infamously unreliable engines from the 2010s and onward were basically made in collaboration with Opel and had similarly retarded timing chains that caused all the problems. Germans killed GM with their shit engineering.

Pushrod is objectively superior to dohc. Not in performance but because of the performace/repairability/reliability calculus.

The gains in performance are not remotely worth introducing 50 new major points of failure. This is made all the more apparent by adding vvt onto a dohc motor.

Yeah but it managed to fudge an extra 2mpg on the EPAs synthetic fuel mileage bench mark that you will never see in any real world driving condition. So it satisfies the regulators
