I don't have the engine anymore. I sold it. It was pretty heavy but I had no way of measuring the weight exactly.
According to Google - The 2GR-FSE service weight is 174 kg (384 lb).

Is that an original RS200? I would have though it too rare and valuable to modify. No objection mind you.

I looked over the flywheel. Couldn't see anything of concern. Looked perfectly fine.

Mostly about the newer L310 transmission in the LC500H but there's some comparisons to the original L110 transmission.

TLDR: L310 uses 4 gears instead of 2 to achieve more torque and higher efficiency in a shorter and quieter ...

There's a dowel near the top of the mating surface. This will bind if the trans and engine are not in perfect alignment. Make sure they are both level and supported. I then used a flathead screwdriver with a long shank to carefully wedge them apart. There is no internal connection between them. The ...

Anyone got some hot tips separating the L110 transmission from the GS450h engine? Is it just a matter of removing the externally accessible bolts holding the 2 together or is there something internal to do with the flywheel/torque converter that needs to be accessed through a service panel?

I know ...

I suspect the formula ratios outlined above are to do with the fact that once the input shaft from the combustion engine is locked (in relation to the transmission housing) MG1 will be turning at a higher RPM and in the opposite direction to MG2. Due to the nature of the planetary gearset.

Amazing work @arturk. Really inspiring!

Mechanical oil pump will not generate any pressure while vehicle is stationary. That's why the transmission has a secondary electric pump.

Without oil pressure the clutch packs will disengage at stop lights.

Is the transmission filled with fluid? Sounds like it's running dry.

Nice to know. Thanks

So does it use 1 sound sample and bend the pitch and volume according to CAN speed input? Or are there discrete samples?

You'll discover the answer half-way though

I can't give you specific advice on engine removal from this car as I haven't done it yet myself, but 99% of modern cars have their engines and transmissions assembled on the front subframe and this is then lifted up from below into position with all the suspension attached.

Therefore easiest is to ...

That's very interesting. Thanks.

Looks like the sort of thing you could turn backwards and mount in the rear of RWD car, ignoring the coupling that would usually drive the rear diff in the Subaru.

The electronics are encased in a resin that is poured in. Looks like there was simply a little bubble in the mix when that resin was poured and popped when setting.

Too good to be true

Do you mean hacking the GS450h to make it run as a pure EV? This can possibly be done but you'll only have a range of about 5km before the battery is low.

Did you see Hoovie's video about why his C65 was totalled because of an oil leak?
To replace the seal you have to remove a bracket.
To remove the bracket you have to remove the timing cover.
To remove the timing cover you have to remove the head.
WTF!?!

That's very comprehensive. Thanks for sharing

From what I understand Lo Gear requires Brake 2 (B2) to be active ie. applying clamping force, and B1 open
And Hi Gear requires B1 active and B2 open.

Looking at the state diagram it appears O represents "active" and X represents "open".

What's not obvious is whether the solenoids controlling the ...

I cannot afford that, although it would be cool

Leaf Motors are super cheap . And you could probably drive 2 of them with 1 Toyota inverter.


I've yet to see real world evidence of their cheapness. Saw a motor /inverter stack on ebay for a grand just last week

You mention awd being fine with an lsd in the centre diff, you don't specifically mention a centre diff in the drive train, does the divorced transfer case act as such in this application? I ask because obviously have a transfer case now and it is not limited slip


Your transfer case is highly ...

Locking the gears will give you a higher top speed. I'm just imagining the amount of work required to connect the L110 to your transfer case. Mating the Leaf motor to your gearbox will be much easier.
