Favorite Engine Thread 4-6-8

I don't think that the K20 has been around long enough to be proven. Yeah it works in swapped cars - but really is not a great performer in the intended chassis IMO. I know some people won't like that comment but oh well - LOL. But I guess it still can be people's favorite... nothing wrong w/ that.

I knew about the Cizeta but figured it didn't accomplish enough compared to the rest i posted.

About the AJP8. Since TVR has been in the shit as of late, Al Melling has started his own project building the Wildcat. He was also responsible for TVR'S I6 which i actually like better than the V8 since I6s are a dieing breed.

Do you mean Melling Hellcat or is that another one of his projects? That's supposed to be another car in the top-speed battle, if it's the same car I'm thinking of.

I would do so many illegal and dignity-obliterating things for a TVR Sagaris, Typhon or Cerbera.

[eraser4g63]

4 cylinder- 4ag ( love the 20v)
6 cylinder- Technically the 13bt is a 6 cylinder
8 cylinder- any of the toyota UZ family (1UZ or 2UZ)

The Nissan Sr20 is probably the most capable stock block 4 CYL ever made. 400whp capable w/out cracking the block open. 2.0l, gobs of torque - and rev happy as well. IMO it's the 2JZ of 4 cylinder motors.

Plus, they'll pull a premium 2 weeks before Race Wars.

Yeah I beg to differ. I can name two 4 bangers on the top of my head that are more capable than a stock sr20, both engines being stock as well. One, of course the 4g63. People all over with Evo's make WELL over 500whp on a stock block daily driver car. I've also heard people make well over 600whp stock block but who knows how long that setup would last. The second, the F20c. Someone made over 700whp on a stock motor! Judging by those facts, I would think those motors are more capable than a sr20. Hell I even think an EJ25 is more capable than a sr20 but of course, these are just my opinions.

PS:

4- 4g63
6- 2jz
8- LSX

4 Cylinder: The capable and VVTL-i equipped 2ZZ-GE, it was good enough for lotus.


6 Cylinder:The always proven 2JZ.


8 Cylinder: The custom, and extremely cool Hayabusa V8.

Have fun w/ the reliability issues of the 4g63. And before you say it - the ONLY people that don't agree that they are maintenance nightmares are people who have them under the hoods of their cars - LOL. They are NOWHERE near as reliable as the sr20. The 4g being able to handle boost is great - but have you seen one perform N/A duties? Prob not - b/c it's not really designed for that. The sr20 can do it all. They (4gs) do handle lots of boost... but they also spend lots of time on the jack-stand as well.

The f20c is an amazing engine - I will not argue that point. But you have to look at everything - i.e PRICEPOINT. I'd much rather build a 700hp S13 (sr20) than a 700hp s2000... and I'll still have money left over for dinner.

I do like both of your choices though. Seems as tho you are only thinking of boosted applications. I am looking at everything. Parts, pricing, aftermarket, OEM reliability, and versatility (NA and boost duites) etc.

H4 (I just like the 2.0L Subaru more, but there is nothing wrong with a STI at all):

I6 Diesel (It makes its V8 counterparts look bad on a daily basis, it's the best diesel on the market, IMO, even though I don't like what these engines come in):

I6 Gas (I wasn't going to post a gas contribution for the six cylinder section, but this picture hadn't come up yet):

V8 (I choose the 289 because it was Shelby's engine of choice, you get a model though):

[Master Shake]

4- GSR or H22

6- 2jz

8- chevy ls- series.

i like all the LS series motors from chevy.

[VooDooXII]

that just looks badass. what is that out of?

That's from the Honda NR750...oval pistons. Pretty crazy isn't it?

[PSINXS]

I6 FTW.

2jzgte, 1jzgte, and rb26dett are freakin beasts of motors. no need to elaborate on why. if i had to pick id go 1j, just cuz without it the 2jz would have never been baller.


the 4 banger- fuck a honda motor, Im sorry. 4g63 runs the 4cyl world IMO. close second is the sr20 because the stock bottom record for it is over 500. and a 600whp claim was made but no proof.

v8- small block chevy. Aftermarket probably would not exist if it werent for that motor. nobody can fuck with that.

that is quite possibly the most bad-ass design i've ever seen. i was expecting it to me a european....not a jap bike.
