Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/

Toyotas with 3TC with side draft Weber carbs was a thing you would see everyday in PR in the 80s and 90s. Larry needs to visit Puerto Rico. The guys from 1320 are always blown away by the island's car culture.

As I get older I realize there are so many hidden gems around the world. The locals know, the owners know, but we don’t need to know to make them beautiful and fast so they stay quiet. Thank you to these owners and you Larry for shedding a little light and highlighting these amazing people and incredible builds.

I have 1973 TE21 3TC turbo propane powered. I love it!! It is 51 years old now.

That’s the Boricua style🇵🇷PR, is full of crazy proyects . Larry , need a vacations in PR🇵🇷

These are the videos I’ve been wanting! Really getting the builders to talk about the technical aspect instead of talking if they have their stock air box.. 😂

Love short wheel base vintage JDM drag cars, these are the sort of builds I grew up loving. More please!

A 3TC that spins to 9500 rpm is amazing!!!

A trip to PR is definitely overdue for Larry. The car culture over there is wild. I remember growing up around Rotores vs Pistones. Salinas Speedway is hallowed ground.

🤙Glad to see the 808 State getting some spot light. They have a mean VW scene too (Hint-hint😉).

These guys are doing some amazing things over there in Hawaii dang. That’s some crazy old school ingenuity that’s still ahead of its time.

My bueno. Wow. Lots of old school toyotas in Puerto Rico

From FL to HI! So awesome to see the merging of cultures as well. Global. Cheeeeehoooooo!

AWESOME SHOOT LARRY LOVE THAT CLASSIC COROLLA DRAG CAR!

As a Mopar guy I love how he said " Its actually a Hemi style motor!" Love live the small engines who give the mighty Detroit V8 a run for its money when it comes to making power..

Actually, there are significant differences between the TE21 sedan (Peanut) and the TE27 coupe (Mango) body styles of these 71-74 Corollas. From the firewall forward, they are basically the same; but from the firewall back - totally different. The coupe roofline is about 1.5" lower than the sedan's, the windshield is swept back a bit more. Of course, the rear "windshield" sweep is entirely different with the sedan being more of a "notch" and the coupe looking a bit more like a fastback. So all of the glass and the doors are completely different between the cars because of the roof height difference. And the rear decklid is different. On the sedan the decklid extends down to right above the rear bumper between the tail lights -- the license plate mounts on the vertical portion of the decklid. On the coupe, there is a fixed panel between the tail lights where the license plate mounts - the coupe decklid doesn't have the vertical portion. FWIW Larry, the 2TC/3TC pushrod hemis were and are an iconic powerplant for the early Corollas. Of course there are contemporary engine choices that are easier to make power with and are more refined. But - they're simply not a 2TC or 3TC. By the way, Yamaha worked with Toyota to create a DOHC head that bolted on the 2T and 3T pushrod blocks. Designated the 2TG (and multiple variations from the early 70's through about 84) they weren't imported to the U.S. - so they're pretty rare in the States.

Bless up Brendan. Doin it for years. I remember that ae86 running 8:50's through weber carbs.

Senor Larry excellent interview and questions

Puerto Rico and Hawaii are identical. The houses, mountains,. So many things. My dad was born there while my grandfather served in the military, then they moved to Puerto Rico.

A lot of thought a lot of planning went into this build it just boggles the mind 🤔

It is very very hard to come by a beauty of this era

simply fantastic! 😱😱

This was an amazing production. Thank you.

I really like how this car uses an older engine that's more difficult to make power with. My project car uses a Toyota 1E engine that has been boosted to make over double the stock power (stock was 54hp but still...) One of the reasons i do it is also bragging rights and being able to say I have the most powerfull one of these motors in the country(maybe even the world because the 1.0l variant is not very popular for power) Really enjoyed the video :)

This car is blowing my mind. With that intake, and the intercooler, super custom with excellent finish. And the billet stuff lol my goodness.

I built a 2TG in the early 90s. 3tc crankshaft and 90mm pistons- hks lightweight flywheel- scheider cams- 421 headers Doug Thorley and mikuni 44 phh carbs- 190 hp At the crank

Lemme check his power level..... ITS OVER 9000!!!!😂😂

Larry come to Puerto Rico, the car game is crazy.... I been watching you for years brother. Even when I played in Cali and you were shooting for the magazines. When you came to Miami, you were shooting right by my job. 🤙🏾🇵🇷

Nice to see these cars, I remember as a small kid. Living up kam4 Hollywood kalihi. Unko Robbi was dads good friend. They were always building these cars. Unko David and aunty Emily had one Datsun. Very nice cars.

Larry has to come to Puerto Rico

I'm surprised I haven't seen a 2rz or 3rz engines popping up in a car yet

All this footage is making me want to leave Oahu and move to Hilo and buy a drag car. This is the most ridiculous KE I have ever seen. Mahalos bradda Larry!!

That Toyota Looks Really Cool

Really great questions Larry. You made sure he touched on everything 👍🏾

8s in that tuna can has to be a crazy experience it probably feels like it's going 5s small cars make speed seem way faster

There is a black one here in vegas used to be Hawaiian car as well but running a 2.7 taco motor with a turbo love these cars !!!

Larry Larry...ny Z still needs a peeper sticker... But I absolutely love, how you always, find the, enthusiasts cars every where you go! Soon I will get a peeper sticker for my Z....it has to have one Larry Chen videos have been watched all thru its 7yr build...it deserves and needs a peeper.

WEPA BORIQUA. . Saludos from hamden, ct.

I had a '72 "TC Carina!

My TE72 (1981 Corolla) watching me watch another woman get me just motivated to want to work but not enough to move

God bless another BA old Toyota!

Now that's a spicy peanut....

If you like this one you should check out nugget garages 3RZ powered KE10 Corolla.

Larry Chen why dont you come to Puerto Rico . We do have amazing cars here , lm sure you will love the cars we have here . If you can come to puerto rico come from June to August

Is the coupe called the "Mango" for the nickname ?????🎉 Plenty ricans blood in the Hawaiian islands from the old farm days I'll never forget the first time a braddah told me he is "flip rican"

Larry you need to visit Puerto Rico

They are perfect for drag racing it's small light simple and well built and they look cool as heck all dragged out I'd like to have one and put either a old 4wd celica drivetrain or gr yaris drivetrain and keep it stock looking except wide tires and hurt some feelings on the boulevard way cool yo

Why no dyno videos ?

See Larry why you need to come to Puerto Rico 😂

No,they call those type a car in Puerto Rico Candungo.

In PR we call it KANDUNGO

Crazyyy...

If their fuel pump sounds like a jet engine just know you’re getting gapped😅

Candugo!!!

I know PSI Racing built a couple T372s back in the days, but did any of them ran with a big tire set up???

Local florida man builds an insane peanut drag monster

I would love to see this tech apply to a modern engine just for science, no radiator

When the next Puerto Rico episode?

Jdm boys are uneducated when it come to old school big ups for the psi racing braddah for keeping his cool lol 😂 Puerto Rico builts the fastest old school toyota 4 cylinder's in the world

Iam very surprised not to see a COP setup specifically using a Haltec ECU 3tc engines are notoriously hard to tune becuase of that But i trust Braden how to work it out✌️😎

You don't showed the Dyno test😢 bro what happen😂

When you going to Puerto Rico?

204 Miles per hour??? What Grain????? That is Airplane Speed’s…😄

🇵🇷❤

Probably had a G54B in it before he bought it!

you like scrap brah?

🔥🧡🔥😍😘

Larry you really don’t know anything about vintage Toyotas and drag racing do you? My god…the way you were pressing this guy for an explanation on why a Toyota Hemi is a better motor than everything else Toyota ever made besides a JZ motor is mind blowing. Go to Puerto Rico my G!!!!!

👀

Let’s bag him about the motor shows you don’t get it one bit

There’s no such thing as automotive style cement.

Kind of annoying whenever people featured wear sunglasses the whole time.

Puerto Rico popping up again! Guess you're filming there soon! Can't wait! 🛫✈🛬 ⛱

Thx for hearing the 9500 rpm. What a crap vid! 🥱
