Shortly after being posted, this thread will house two of the biggest douchebags this forum has ever known. E36 and his new found sidekick Nelson. E36 is to this forum what Smith was to the Matrix. He's so fucking dumb that his stupidity overwhelms people and sucks them in. He will eventually infect the entire forum with his delusional moron rhetoric. In an attempt to contain the douchebaggery, i created this thread.
What gives this thread power????
Very simple, E36 has an extremely rare medical condition know as headupownassitus. Anything you say about him makes his asshole pucker up which then tightens around his neck that is stuck up his own ass, restricting his breathing.
So use this thread to vent any and every issue you have with E36 and he will have no choice but to continue coming back. This egomaniac couldnt stay away from this thread if his life depended on it. He will continue to come back over and over and over again to see what people are saying about him. Hopefully....... we can contain the douchebaggery to this thread so that it doesnt infect others.
Nelson, being the simple minded dumb fuck that he is, presented me with this argument.
In an attempt to save poor Nelson from developing headupownassitus like his companion E36, i am going to break down and explain everything to him in a way that hopefully he is capable of understanding.
Why go 2.0 instead of 2.4,2.5 or 2.6?
Are you making the gross generalization that bigger is better? if so, why use 2.anything? why not swap in a Cat diesel?? why isnt a powerstroke the fastest thing on the road?
There's an sr20 powered car running 6s in the 1/4 at over 200mph. No matter what your goal is, the sr20 can provide it. Here's some irony for you..... the smallest engine called into question, has a faster recorded time than the largest. The worlds fastest sr20 is faster than the worlds fastest rb26 (7.1 1/4 mile).
Your argument is really as simple as "bigger engine has more torque". do you even understand what torque and horsepower are????
Torque: something that produces or tends to produce torsion or rotation; the moment a force or system of forces cause rotation.
Let me break this down for you in common terms. Torque is the ability to put weight in motion. Horse power is the ability to accelerate weight in motion.
A cbr1000 doesnt have as much torque as a camaro, why will a cbr1000 out run a camaro? because the motorcycle is lighter and requires a lot less torque to put it's weight in motion.
Why would you chose an SR over a KA??? Ask Nissan..... because they did. When Nissan built the Silvia, the sister sportscar to the skyline, they chose the SR...... What did they do with the KA? put it in their hardbody trucks and domesticated 240s because it was available.
The SR has far superior aftermarket to the KA..... The SR is lighter and has superior valve train options. The SR is cheaper. The SR is already turbo. You presented 2 issues with the SR.... "being aluminum, needing sleeves" "its a fanboy engine".... Number 1 i will address the fanboy comment. This isnt highschool anymore... how popular or unpopular something is has zero effect on it's ability to perform. If "SR20" starts trending on twitter, that wont gain or lose a single horsepower. It is a nonfactor in comparing engines, other than the fact that more popular equals more aftermarket support, lower prices and more availability.... which to most people is a benefit. Number 2, are you saying that using sleeves is a bad thing??? You know what engine has sleeves........ a top fuel dragster.... the fastest cars in the world. A sleeved alum block offers superior cooling over any iron block in existence and keeps the structural integrity. I've already stated that there's 6 second 1/4 mile sr20s. There's outlaw street cars powered by 4 cylinders running the same 200+ trap speeds as v8s.... i guess torque isnt the end all of racing eh? if it is.... WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN ON AN IMPORT WEBSITE AND DRIVING AN INTEGRA YOU FUCKING RETARD.
In addition to what i said above, if any engine was for fanboys.... its RB anything..... the only RB engine worth it's reputation is the rb26. The rb26 is so good that it's reputation has trickled down to the other extremely average RB engines. Unlike the sr20.... the RB's aftermarket is more expensive and less obtainable across the board.
Next issue... you say "
Put a sr20, ka24, rb25, and rb26 on 8 lbs.
You will see the HP number go from low to high from left to right.
You will see the TQ number from low to high from left to right also.
You will also see the worst to best powerband from left to right."
Here's another area where you lack the mental capacity to understand how something works. You've made it clear and obvious that you are a simple minded fuck, so i am going to try and explain this to you in a common and easy to understand way.
If i have 2 straws... a coffee straw and a normal drinking straw, i blow into each straw with my mouth at about the same amount of air. The coffee straw will generate more pressure in my mouth. PSI is just a measurement you simple fuck. Do you ever wonder why the turbos or superchargers you see on mustangs are 6-8 psi.....? do you think it's because those engines are so good that they dont need more boost???? No..... it's because those engines are larger and consuming more air, so theyre not building up the pressure. It's a simple mathematic certainty that an equal amount of pressure applied to a larger engine would make more power. Why? because it would take a larger volume of air moved to show 8 psi on a 6 cylinder vs a 4 cylinder. PSI is just a measurement of pressure..... there's variables from one application to the next. I've hit 30 psi on a 2.3 SOHC ford engine.... why? because that engine couldnt move the volume of air, so it showed higher psi. A turbo isnt as simple as saying "X psi vs X psi". There's more to it than that kiddo.
When you build a car, balance is equally as important as any measurement of power. If it was as simple as "big engine, more torque" we'd all race Yugos with 460s in them. Of the 4 engines you listed, only 1 is better than a sr20.... the RB26... and even though i admit that, the world's fastest sr20 is faster than the worlds fastest RB26... what measurement found on a dyno trumps the end result?????
An sr20 is the 2nd cheapest engine on that list. It has the best aftermarket support. It's potential is unlimited and well beyond every engine but 1 on that list (rb26). It's readily available, bolts right in and already has a turbo from the factory. All things considered, it's clearly the best option $ vs $
