Ladipodeal:
Was lucky to notice the oil leakage on my 2008 Toyota Sienna,the hose failed on my way home. The rate the oil was gushing out of the failed hose, I doubt it the engine would have lasted the next 3 minutes.

I actually replaced with another rubber hose, where can I purchase the metal hose here in Lagos?

oluwaseunla:


Tried searching for the metal hose in Ladipo, I couldn't get. Had to order on Amazon.

Ladipodeal:


What was the total cost to Nigeria? Replacing with the metal hose to me is a must for all 2GR Fe engine with rubber hose.

oluwaseunla:


$88.69 to buy and the tax. Shipping can range between 4k to 10k. It depends on exchange rate you get and your shipper.

chukel:
ur pic doesn't illustrate clearly the position of that rubber hose. Can u describe the position.

Readonee35L:
2GR'FE the lazy boy.
But I've grown to love it in the Highlander.
Better response.

oluwaseunla:


Love it in the Rx too.

Readonee35L:

The Response of that engine depends on Ecu Mapping and toyotas electronic throttle lag.
Driving the 2009/2010 venza v6 for a long time wasn't impressive because of throttle lag, You floor it while it hesitates and all of a sudden it delivers sudden response. But the 2012 Highlander V6 with 2gr keeps me wanting to be on the road because it has better response.

mayor2013:


I also discovered the throttle lag on Lexus ES330 2005. You floor the throttle to the last and no response

Readonee35L:

And that thing they pepper me for body chai.
I like direct throttle make the engine they answer me asap.

Toyota electronic throttle is shít in some models.

I've not driven that gen of Es so i dunno.
But some toyota cars I've driven with throttle lag
010 Camry Se . 2ar 2.5L
010 venza v6
011 highlander v6 lags sometimes.

Mostly does with the 6sp auto and some the 5sp.

But the lexus And some other 2gr toyotas are very responsive.
More of ecu mapping.

obekediamondfuto:


it's an ecu thing esp with the electronic throttle system.

I learnt this can be altered by accessing the ecu config file either via CMD or a third party GUI and altering the values accordingly or installing MOD chips but the tradeoff is either a messed up idle or irregular mpgs (in most cases)

wonder y Toyota has that annoying lag in most of their systems I have not experienced it in the Lexus tho I drove an es350 last year and it was so responsive I tot I was in a supercar.

Drive by wire issues

oluwaseunla:
A picture of the pipe in question.

Readonee35L:

Toyota's 6peed Transmission is also lazy making it worse
Always trying to select higher gears. Better mpg. But slow response. Very short ratio like a diesel

Kashif:


I thought this pipe is for vvt?

oluwaseunla:


Second pic shows a rubber and full metal vvt pipes. First pic shows location of vvt pipe (upper left of picture, from top cylinder to block), and oil cooler pipe (lower right of picture).

Kashif:


Thanks for the clarification. I will assume the vvt pipe has higher risk, due to higher pressure. It's the one that kills the engine most when it does happen.

cyborg123:


Dirty MAF sensors are a major cause of throttle lag. Did you check the state of the sensor in those cars?

GAZZUZZ:


Not a dirty MAF, try driving the Rav4 2GR, it's a sprinter without Lag. Clearly a Mapping issue.

Ogba to Agege stadium that year... I couldn't catch up at any point in time.
