If the engine is still running, you can hydrolock the engine since water is sucked into the intake manifold that can bend connecting rods. If the car is off it's less likely to hydrolock as long as you don't start the engine. You have to remove the spark plugs and crank the engine push out the water since you can't compress water. That's why this Toyota Hilux survived. ,Killing a Toyota Part 1 - Top Gear - BBC
The V8 toyota engine is from the UZ family, this is the gasoline powered V8 engine which the 4runner had in the 4th generation prior to the 5th gen using the V6 engine from the GR family. The 4runner in the 4th gen used the 2UZ-FE which was a 4.7 L; 284.6 cu in (4,663 cc) version. Unlike its other UZ counterparts, this version uses a cast iron block to increase durability, as it was designed for low-revving, high-torque pickup and SUV applications. Its bore and stroke is 94 mm × 84 mm (3.70 in × 3.31 in). Output varies by implementation, but one VVT-i variant produces 202 kW (271 hp; 275 PS) at 4800 rpm with 427 N⋅m (315 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3400 rpm. JDM versions produce 173 kW (232 hp; 235 PS) at 4800 rpm and 422 N⋅m (311 lb⋅ft) at 3600 rpm, while Australian models produce 170 kW (228 hp; 231 PS) at 4800 rpm and 410 N⋅m (302 lbf⋅ft) at 3600 rpm. Like the 1UZ-FE, it has aluminum DOHC cylinder heads, MFI fuel injection, 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets, one-piece cast camshafts, and a cast aluminum intake manifold. For 2010, it was replaced by the 1UR-FE or 3UR-FE, depending on the country. However, this engine was used in the 4runner from 2002 - 2004. From 2005 until 2009 the 4runner had the 2UZ-FE engine variation which had VVT-iand electronic throttle control added to it. The ,1GR-FE, is the 4.0 L (3,956 cc) version, designed for longitudinal mounting in RWD and 4WD pickup applications. It has a bore and a stroke of 94 mm × 95 mm (3.70 in × 3.74 in). Output is 236 hp (176 kW; 239 PS) at 5200 rpm with 266 lb⋅ft (361 N⋅m) of torque at 4000 rpm when tuned for 87 octane, and 240 hp (179 kW; 243 PS) at 5200 rpm with 278 lb⋅ft (377 N⋅m) at 3700 rpm when tuned for 91 octane. This engine features Toyota's VVT-i or variable valve timing system on the intake cam and a compression ratio of 10.0:1. Service weight, including fluids, is 166 kg (366 lb). An updated version of this engine features Dual VVT-i which increases output to 270 hp (201 kW; 274 PS) at 5600 rpm and 278 lb⋅ft (377 N⋅m) at 4400 rpm on 87 octane. Inside, the 1GR uses a “taper-squish" combustion chamber design with matching pistons to improve anti-knocking and engine performance, while also improving intake and fuel efficiency. Toyota adopted a siamese-type intake port, which reduces the surface area of the port walls and prevents fuel from adhering to such walls. This engine has special cast-iron cylinder liners cast into the block, which are a spiny type to improve adhesion between the liner and cylinder block. In the event of cylinder wall damage (scoring, deep protrusions, etc.), the entire cylinder block must be replaced. For increased block rigidity, the 1GR also receives a high temperature plastic insulator/protector, which fills the empty space between the outer portion of the cylinders and block material common to open deck engines. For increased cooling efficiency, the 1GR employs water passages between the bores of the engine. There are two such passages for each bank for a total of four. This reduces cylinder hot-spotting and keeps combustion chamber temperatures more uniform. A bolt-on TRD Supercharger Kit was available on the Tacoma and FJ Cruiser but has been discontinued by Toyota. The new 2015 Toyota HiLux receives a slightly different version of the single VVT-i engine, with the only change being a removal of an air intake baffle tank being replaced by a conventional air filter housing to intake pipe to surge tank style. The new intake pipe now contains resonators. Power output is unchanged. First generation 1GR-FE variants with single VVT-i features Toyota's Acoustic Control Induction System. This system consists of a bulkhead to divide the intake manifold into two sections, and an intake air control valve (in the bulkhead) to control its effective length. When the engine is operating at moderate revolutions and under high load, an actuator closes the intake air control valve to increase the effective length of the intake manifold. At other operating conditions, the intake air control valve opens up to reduce the effective length of the intake manifold. The VVT-i version was used in the 2002 - 2009 toyota 4runner meanwhile the dual VVT-i is used in the current generation 4runner since 2009 when the generation started. The reality is that both the 4.0 V6 and 4.7 V8 are great performing and reliable engines. The V6 is more fuel-efficient and requires slightly less maintenance while the V8 is smoother and offers better performance. You can’t go wrong with either – it all depends on how you use your 4runner. There are plenty of fans of both the 1GR V6 and the 2UZ V8 and most of them can’t be convinced that the other is just as good. The truth is that both engines can perform every task you would use an SUV for whether it’s off-roading, towing, or commuting. They’re both better at some things and worse at others. It might be hard for V6 owners to accept, but the V8 does in fact offer better performance numbers. There was a change to the SAE protocols for the way manufacturers measure the horsepower of their engines in 2004 and Toyota implemented it in 2006. This meant that while the engines still performed the same, both the V6 and V8 were rated at lower horsepower and torque in the later years. Both the 1GR-FE V6 and 2UZ-FE V8 are incredibly reliable engines. You really can’t go wrong with either and as long as you maintain them, they’ll easily last for 300,000+ miles. No engine is perfect though, and both of them do have a couple of issues that have been documented over the years. Maintenance Both the V6 and V8 engines require very little maintenance to keep them happy and healthy. It’s really just a matter of keeping the fluids clean and that’s it. The location of the oil filter on the V6 allows it to be reached easily without removing the skid plate unlike the V8 so it gets a bonus point there. The biggest difference between these engines is that the V6 has a timing chain while the V8 uses a belt. That timing belt needs to be replaced (typically along with the water pump while you’re in there) roughly every 100,000 miles. This is less of a big deal than people make it out to be – how often do you log 100,000 miles? Yes, it’s an added cost, but not one that you’ll need to deal with very often at all. Surprisingly, some people have chosen to gamble by not replacing the timing belt. Failures are rare and haven’t resulted in valve damage in both VVT-I and non-VVT-I models (despite them being considered “interference” engines). Of course, it’s recommended to stick with the proper service interval if you care about longevity. Towing As with any other typical use of an SUV, you can tow with both the V6 or the V8 just fine. Even with its lower 5,000 lb rating, the V6 4runners are on par with the other mid size SUVs that it competes with. The V8 4runners really shine when it comes to towing. With a 2,000 lb higher tow rating (7,000 lbs) they can certainly tow more, or more likely, tow the same load but much easier. That same torque curve that we saw in the graph above is what makes the biggest difference. All of that extra torque is delivered right in the RPM range that you’ll be at while accelerating with a heavy load. In order to do pull the same trailer in the same conditions, the V6 needs to work harder and at a higher RPM. The engine isn’t the only reason why the V8 4runners have a higher tow rating though. They also come equipped with a hitch that’s rated for more weight and a transmission cooler. The thing is though, if you tow 7,000 lbs regularly, even a V8 4runner might not be the best tool for the job. Power might not be an issue but they’re still a lighter weight SUV with a relatively short wheelbase – and because of that, a full size pickup like a Tundra will do a better job of controlling the load. Think of the 4runner’s towing ability as something you can use occasionally or rely on in a pinch, but for regular use you might want to reconsider a bigger truck. Rarity and future value Every generation of 4runner has offered a V6 engine. V8s however, can only be found in the 2003-2009 models. Out of 5 generations, the 4th Gen is the only one to have a V8 engine. And with the direction things seem to be heading in the auto industry, Toyota will never put a V8 engine in the 4runner ever again. This makes them very special. If the collector car market tells us anything, it’s that limited versions of popular vehicles will continue to stand out and be sought after. The V8 4runner is an unsuspecting little hot rod and because of that, has potential to be collectible in the future. We’re already seeing evidence of the V8 4runners becoming desirable. Take a look at the used market and there are very few listed for sale at any given time. The ones that you find often have a fairly high asking price. Is this a sign that the values have already bottomed out and will begin to climb in the future? We’ll just have to wait and see. Again, there’s nothing wrong with the V6 models. It’s just that they blend in with all the other 4runner generations as well as all the other platforms like the Tacoma and FJ Cruiser – they were popular and they all had a V6. While both require very little attention, the V6 takes the win here because of the timing belt replacement on the V8. AIP problems with the 2UZ V8 The air injection pump on the 2005+ V8s has been known to fail and can result in a very expensive fix if you take it to the dealership. There are cheap bypasses available that will disable the system to avoid any future problems from arising. In the event that the ECU goes into limp mode due to the flaps being stuck open, there are block off plates also available. Combining these with the bypass will trick the ECU into thinking everything is functioning normally. Cracked exhaust manifolds on the 2UZ V8 Perhaps one of the most common 4th gen 4runner problems is a cracked exhaust manifold. It happens to a lot of the v8s and creates an annoying (and embarrassing) ticking sound. The good news is that it rarely causes a big enough leak to trigger a Check Engine light or diagnostic trouble code. The engine will still run fine, it just makes a noise. Because of that, a cracked manifold shouldn’t really be considered a reliability issue as it won’t leave you stranded on the side of the road or cause a failure. Head gasket failure in the 2003-2004 model IGR V6 The V6 4runners are not completely immune to problems either. The most noteworthy is the head gasket failures in early model year 4th gens. From what I understand, these failures were due to a manufacturer defect in the gasket and were remedied by upgrading it in the 2005+ models. It wasn’t an issue with the design of the engine, just a weak part that needed to be improved. Aside from the above mentioned issues, both engines are rock solid. The fact that Toyota used these engines in other platforms for many years proves that they’re dependable. The 1GR V6 was used in the 4runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, and Tundra. The 2UZ V8 was used in even more models – the 4runner, Tundra, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, and the Lexus GX 470 and LX 470. It’s interesting to note that Toyota only offered the V8 in the Lexus models. One could guess that this is because of its higher performance and/or smoother operation. It’s also worth mentioning that all of the famous “Million Mile Tundras” were equipped with the 4.7L V8 and not the 5.7L. There is speculation that the Japanese-built 4.7 in the 4runner and Lexus has stronger forged connecting rods than the American built 4.7 found in the Tundra and Sequoia. If that is indeed true, it’s really saying something if the “weaker” version of this engine is surviving 1 million miles in a pickup truck. In the end, you can’t go wrong with buying ,any, model of 4th Gen 4runner with ,any, options and ,any, engine. They’re all built really well and are both functional and reliable. Depending on your usage and priorities, you might find that one engine will suit you more than the other. It’s also worth noting that all of these comparisons are factoring in the 4runner being stock and unmodified. The V8 models will be able to handle the extra weight from bigger tires, armor, and accessories better than the V6 – and that should be considered if you have plans to build your future 4runner into a beast one day. If this comparison has taught us anything, it’s that the general statements about these engines in the 4th Gen 4runner are true: If you care about fuel efficiency and want the easiest option to maintain, get the V6. If you prefer the extra power and added character, the V8 is the way to go
