Other Engine Info
PORT+DIRECT
Problems:
Engine overheating
V-shaped engines, like the V35A-FTS in the 2023 Toyota Sequoia, can sometimes overheat due to their compact design, which may restrict airflow and cooling.
Turbocharger issues
The "PORT+DIRECT" fuel injection system and turbocharging in the V35A-FTS can lead to turbo lag or failure if not properly maintained.
Complexity of maintenance
The combination of port and direct fuel injection systems increases the complexity of maintenance and potential repair costs.
Valve carbon build-up
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and efficiency over time.
Engine knock
High-performance engines like the V35A-FTS may experience engine knock, especially if lower-octane fuel is used.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in V-shaped engines can wear out, leading to potential engine timing issues and costly repairs.
Fuel efficiency
High horsepower engines like the V35A-FTS can be less fuel-efficient, leading to higher fuel costs.
Turbo lag
The presence of a turbocharger can sometimes result in a delay in power delivery, known as turbo lag.
Electronic system failures
Modern engines with advanced electronic systems, like the DBS in the 2023 Sequoia, can experience sensor or software malfunctions.
Exhaust system problems
High-performance engines can put extra strain on the exhaust system, leading to potential failures or increased emissions.
