Name That Motor!!!

[Hollowmon]

I was having a big debate with my peoples the other day and I came up with this thread. Now even though I drive a Honda My favorite motor is not a B16A. Well anyways .................

If money wasn't an issue what kind of engine would you build?

I don't consider myself an importer, more like an enthusiast so here are my choices.
Eruo: S54 out of the E46 BMW M3. Set up with twin turbos.
Asian: A fully built RB25(bored,stroked,and boosted)
Domestic: Yes American Muscle! I am a Mopar fan when it comes to domestics I have yet to see any motor out perform or outlast a well built old school Hemi. It up to this day doesn't have any solid competition(My Opinion).

Oh....... Yeah..... If I had to pick a favorite it would be the S54. I find it to be the most well rounded Drag, Drift, Track u name it, it can do.

Post Your Favorite!!:goodjob:

[G.C]

RB26 all the way!!!!

[DecoyOctopus]

k24 bottom end, k20ar head, full na build with itb's. I've seen this setup make just north of 400whp. thats a little hard to beleive. i read up on a few making 280 to the wheels and they were suped up to the teeth. it revved up to 9.5 compression was 12.5:1 etc. toda made one in a modified mag magazine it was a rsx with a k20z bottom end bored out to 2.2litres, k20a head (dc5 type r), modified f22c crank, cams itbz everything from toda and it made 280 as well. they claimed 320 to the crank

[RandomGuy]

gallo 24 is pretty much superior

i might get one, if i can afford it, one day

[Bruce Leroy]

I want to build a NA 4rotor, and put it in a fc.

[DunDunSkeert]

[JITB]

A k24 blocked bored with K-Pro and the right bolt-ons and internals it should get real close!:yes:

[DecoyOctopus]

i doubt it can hit 400 hp naturally aspirated.

[87 Turbo II]

R26B rotary engine

It's the engine in this car just in case people want to brush up on their rotaries.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Mazda-787B.JPG/800px-Mazda-787B.JPG

max output was 980 hp @ 10,500 RPM but Mazzda de-tuned it in the 787B to 700hp @ 9000 RPM for fear of destroying the transmission in the race.

Well since money isn't an option in this scenario, I think making another 980hp model with a more modern transmission and high rated clutch would KILL mounted in an FD.

[Hollowmon]

I also doubt 400 But high 300's yes. The compression on that block should hold 12:5:1 easy and then it will be bored to like 2.6 or 2.7 liters

Actually, I would make lower compression rotors, and put a custom sequential turbo system on it. Could make a lot more then. I'd have a custom tranny built also.

[87 Turbo II]

:eek:.............You would kill yourself in an FD:no:
probably haha. I'd do well in a stock one provided I didn't drive like a jacka$$. but yeah, I'd definitely have NO control over a 980bhp R26B powered FD.

[87 Turbo II]

980 is already probably overkill, also, I'd prefer the response of a high power, high reving N/A; sequential on such a high output motor would have disadvantages in weight to power ratios, not to mention complexity and reliability issues.the sheer heat 2 turbochargers generate is what kills most FDs, the 787B outlasted several piston engines in the 24 hours, so thebeauty of it is that it is still reliable as-is.

[okra1981]

Jap.- 4g63, a lot of power and a lot of possibilities
U.S.- Cummins Turbo Diesel, whoever thought they could go so fast in a Dodge truck, it's an I6 and can produce more torque than a fleet of Civics, plus it runs for a long ass time
Euro- I wish I could claim the EP3 since it was built in England, instead, the new three liter twin turbo motor from the BMW 335, that thing is hella strong and you know it has potential

You do realize that a sequesntial can be quite smooth right? If you have the money to develop a 26B, you have the money to build the whole car, considering that Mazda does not make that motor available for any type of purchase.

There would be no problem with power-to-weight. You would easily add a little more weight in the rear for traction anyways.

The system is not that complex to design, follow BMW or Mazda's examples.

Reliability? With that much money, what would it matter? :D

I have owned all gens of RX7s - quite a few of them. I've never had a problem with keep them reliable. Turbos would not be difficult to add to that motor. And you can never have too much power.

[Shibby]

I want an H23A VTEC motor swap in my car.

I love the blue valve cover and the massive torque for half the price of the k series.

[K20Z1]

honda k20a !!

[Roadster]

Domestic: Keith Black Hemi, or the 765c.i. hemi-headed Ford nitrous motor we did at work a while back. It broke the damn dyno.

Euro: Old school all motor 911 engine.

Jap: Not very outlandish, but a really well built ITB'd BP Miata stroker engine with stout internals and a 10k rev limiter.

[dorin48]

Money is no option eh? The I would absolutely develop my own head and block castings. Make everyting to my specifications and try to incorporate as many small block chevy maintenance parts for ease of up keep, selection, and availability. A lot of development has gone into the sbc so I would use it to keep my beast healthy. :D

[Revmaynard]

Euro- S14
Japanese - b17
American - 440
Australian - 265 straight 6 HEMI.

:)

[GAtegs]

A Wankel without a doubt.

[GTScoob]

Japanese: whatever the 4.0 v8 is out of the SC400, turbocharge it and put it in a supra, that way you could have some serious powerband

Euro: 335 motor, single turbo, maybe some spray

American: Ford 5.4 DOHC from a navigator, built for a big turbo.

Realistically, I'd love a bulletproof 2.2 in my subaru and still be able to rev it out to 9K rpms.

I agree up to the FD, stuff that thing into an S5 FC, and hope to god when you lay into the throttle that the thing doesnt fall apart.

[Nateds16]

Domestic 427 cobra jet like my dads but pro charged 1000hp
jap k24 built from bottom up
