Although I like petrol engines, and the Wankel is in the first price, for the city drive I am in alot, I preffer turbo dieseled engines. They have torque, and this new bigger ones, they just kick *** from one traffic light to another

 

my classification is based on sound...

piston: Ferrari V12 F1 you can't imagine the sound of that engine ALIVE... go under your skin and shake you soul....

rotary: 4 rotor 787B ....awesome....

real world:
-Honda 1,6 vtec of 90's
-V6 Alfa (the original one.. not this current GM)
-Corvette v8 (sorry, i don't remember/know wich one..)

 

I have a TDI right now... they're nice, but the narrow powerband don't make them nearly as fun as a rotary.

 

 

1) 24b (Scoot RX7)
2) V10 (Porsche Carerra GT, Lexus LFA, Viper... any of them -- manufacturers need to put more V10's in cars)
3) BMW inline 6 (E36 M3 comes to mind)

 

That would be the LSx Engines( LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, ect...) All basically the same block but with different variations of bore and stroke. Probably my favorite engine as well. Cheap, Reliable, huge power potential and easy to work on/upgrade. Nothing like the sound of an LSx with a big bumpy cam, longtubes and some good exhaust

 

You do realize that this is a 7 year bump?!
hahahaha

 

Honda F20C

sounds like a cosworth DFV and makes insane power, plus Honda reliability.

 

n/a 20b

 

For a car: 2JZ-GTE(1000hp+ anyone?) or the LS9 found in the new ZR1 Vette

For a Truck: Any of the Turbo Cummins

For a Bike: Suzuki Hayabusa's 1300ccs of pain

 

A Nissan VG30DETT smooth , powerful, can rev to the hills.
On the fence about the VQ35, powerful yes and very torquey motor, but smooth it is not , shakes like a truck motor.

Mazda KZE found in Mazda MX-6/early Ford probes 93'-94' them bitches sound like Lemans type motors and are powerful and rev happy.

Nissan RB26, powerful, torquey and very smooth

Mazda 13B ,20B , 26B, for obvious reasons...

Toyota 3SGTE 3rd gen motor for the Mr-2 turbo, baddest 4 banger out there! Extremely powerful and efficient.

LS6, LS7 beast of motors, enough said.

Hondas J series motors, sweetest V6 around, powerful and smooth , to bad there usually mated to a garbage transmission from Honda

 

1. Toyota 2JZgte
2. Nissan VQ35 (all variations)

 

4g63T

 

Ferrari 412T F1 and McLaren-Mercedes MP4/13

 

Porsche flat 6
Inline 6 (Nissan and BMW)
Rotary
Ferrari V12
LSx
427

 

Talk about a thread revival!!! Im a huge rotary guy so---

1. 26B 4 rotor
2. 20B 3 rotor
3. 13B-REW
4. 13B-MSP
5. Honda's b-series vtec motors --- I've built a few so I can't talk smack about these.

Yes I put the REW before the Renesis, I love that motor. My friend had an FD that I did all the reliability mods and service on so he let me drive it pretty much whenever. It was stock (he didn't modify it since he had no money to tune it) but it was fast and always put a smile on my face.

 

Old school; 426 Hemi.
Still thinking that would be a killer swap for the 8...

/Aluminium Hemi block needed...

 

lol That would be awesome!

"is that a rotory?"
"Nope, its a hemi!"

 

yessir! i just drove a gtr to my school prom 3.8L twin turbo

 

1: Toyota 4A-GE 16v. Not the most powerful 1.6L or the most supported, but when opened up, nothing else sounds like it.

2: Honda C30A/C32B. Another great sounding engine. Utilized Honda's best technologies and know-how back in the day. Also, unique for a V6 as the banks are separated by 90 degrees rather than the usual 60.

Dozer! Why did you resurrect a 7 year old thread?

 

i was "directed" by a special "someone"
