E36+Nelson combine to form the (Official) Epic douchebag thread. WARNING!

Why are you bringing up a 2jz and a 305???

I SPECIFICALLY NAMED 4 MOTORS.
SR20, KA24, RB25, RB26

Nothing else.

I'm trying to frame the parameters of your bullshit argument.

Why isnt a 305 better than a Rb26? it has more displacement.

Some motors just weren't meant for top end. While the 305 is a Low Revving torque monster, the RB26 has a better balance and is more of a High revving, get going type of motor.

Internally, I know nothing of a 305 btw.

oh no worries, im certain that nobody was under the impression that you knew anything.

"get going type of motor".... well, i must admit it is going to be difficult for me to counter this profound wisdom on display here... but i'll take a stab at it.

Kind of how the sr20 has superior top end over the Ka24? or how the sr20 has a far more technologically advanced head and valve train design?

Also, previously you said...

Compression, cams, flow of head, turbo, psi, etc.. can all be altered... The size and material of the motor can't.

You realize that the 2.4 isnt the actual "size of the engine" right??? you know that lengthening the rod stroke adds displacement correct?

Yes, also making a bigger crank.

[Sinfix_15]

Yes, also making a bigger crank.

Ok, so what happens to an engines RPM when you lengthen the stroke?

[nelson9995]

They drop.

What happens when the actual piston is alot bigger and the crank is not too much bigger?

[Sinfix_15]

They drop.

What happens when the actual piston is alot bigger and the crank is not too much bigger?

Ok.... a 305 chevy's pistons are 3.7 inches... a rb26's pistons are 3.3 inches and it has 2 less of them....

so clearly a 305 chevy is better right?

[nelson9995]

There you go again. I Was simply talking about what makes more power.
Not about what is more technologically advanced.

[Sinfix_15]

Ok, so you said a rb26 is better than a 305 because its more technologically advanced, even though the 305 is more displacement.
You also say a KA24 is better than an sr20 because it has more displacement, even though the sr20 is more technologically advanced.

Twisting my words again.
No.
I said the RB26 is wayyyy more balanced.

[Sinfix_15]

No.
I said the RB26 is wayyyy more balanced.

boreXstroke

305 = 3.7x3.4 .3 diff
rb26 = 3.3x2.8 .5 diff

How is the rb26 more balanced?

[Catnip]

Ok, so you said a rb26 is better than a 305 because its more technologically advanced, even though the 305 is more displacement.

Come on. You're twisting his words.

[nelson9995]

Come on. You're twisting his words.

Finally!

[nelson9995]

No, the Crank/rods are alot bigger. Therefore dropping RPMS, making it makes its power down low.

[nelson9995]

Would you take 480whp and 470 wtq?

or 480whp and 370 wtq and rev .5 higher?
