2AZ-FE motor

would u happen to know what you got on the 1/8?

Nope sry havent run that'n.

^^^^ Agreed. The driver does matter. I know how to drive pretty well. Heh.

Also you got to remember... when tracking a car its not all about the car.. the driver makes a hugh difference....

an experence driver vs a non-experence driver int he same car can cut time off on the time slip by seconds if they know what they are doing.

Reaction time and 0-60 time plays a big part in it...

just a thought

Your time doesn't start on the green light ! It starts when the stage sensor don't detect your car anymore. You can stay 15 second on the green light and have a 14.8 sec quarter mile. You will lose the race for sure but you will do a 14.8 run. It's like that it works on NHRA official dragways.

Reaction time doesn't make part of your time. It will be written 0.500 sec at the bottom of the time slip the computer do the math for you and calculte the difference between reaction+race time versus your opponent.

I did a 14.8 sec run once....I'm sure a 2AZ-FE cannot make it in a Solara.

I dont think it really matters if u have an automatic... You just floor it. Not much else we can do.
But there are other factors like track conditions, weather conditions, and the condition of the car.

And reaction time doesnt really have anything to do with your time. You can sit there for 30 seconds but it starts once you leave.

I think to do a "power-brake" start reving at 3000 RPM on good tires can make you win some fraction of seconds. The torque converter is there for that...but I do it only at the track...so just very few time a year. If you don't have sticky tire forget it...you will only burn it out and lose time.

Yeah. I think a solara would weigh it down. But could a tC hit that?

[kingkakyle]

i dont think the tc is too much faster even compared to a gen 2 2az-fe
i kept up with my friend decently well and all i have is an injen
but we each did have 3 people in the car, so the weight we each were carrying was different?

[Jakecallun20]

Hmm. Ive been doing some research on the tC's and they seem like a great bang for the buck. My friends has 89K on the clock, since they aren't that expensive I might head down there and see what I can work out.

It's a great engine. I haven't driven any other solara besides mine. But it seems to fit the car really well. I would buy another 2az-fe over the v6 if I had the choice.

The engine pulls hard, has enough power to be fun to drive.
Its easy to hit the rev limiter by accident because the engine is very smooth. I really wish it had another 1000 rpm before red line, its built well enough that it could do it.

I wished the 2AZ have 20hp more, now the new Accord 4 banger has 180hp, how can it compete with that?

lol, you're hitting the rev limiter because you want to get that heavy car going, with a V6 you probably wont ever need to go passed 4000 RPM to get the car moving at a decent speed.

It can't. With cars today becoming heavier, modern 4cylinders should really have about 220hp and the torque to go with it.

[Jakecallun20]

Good to know. I just want something reliable with good pickup that is a standard.

[kingkakyle]

u will get decent pickup if ur willing to rev high
the car is too heavy for this engine though
when i drive the v6 highlander its so much of a difference, i can only imagine wat the v6 solara would be like

imo..
The Solara isn't overly heavy. Its under 3200 with the 2azfe.
If your comparing it to a sport compact I guess thats very heavy, but its not bad for a mid size car.
I don't wind mine up all that often, but if I do its just for fun, im not doing it to try and keep up with traffic or anything. Its got plenty of midrange power, and a surprisingly good amount of lower end torque for a four banger.

[Jakecallun20]

Ok. so I tested the tC and it was ok.... seemed sorta small. and the clutch felt weired. so I went on over to subaru and checked some of those cars out. I like them alot. tested one and it is fast! I will be going back over there sometime within this next year to get one. Hence my new sig. Fast car for the money. Thanks for all ya'lls help with this topic.
