Cat went out, so I got a high flow, ported and polished, cammed, and tuned the 2.slow to make…. 127whp……. A FOURTY HORSEPOWER INCREASE….. and nearly unheard of for an AEG……
I have 183k on mine here in the US. It's a V8. The forward Catalytic converter on right bank might need replacement (CEL light on). Front suspension bushings will need replacement from time to time. Otherwise, solid.
Well I thought I would provide an update for people who need options later on. I barely drove the car the past few weeks and Friday I decided to take it for a ride. The catalytic converter had an awful smell like it went bad
Wednesday night I went out and noticed the CEL came on and stayed on, so I took it in this morning and was told the fault code related to a bad catalytic converter! A new one is on order and in the meantime I'm driving a Highlander
