whats your favourite engine ???

[JDM_KING]

hi guys just wanted to no whats your favourite engine to work on and to get the max power out of ???

[shift_rook]

well i've never worked on one but i'd have to say the engine i'd own out of anything is a 2j

[Frak]

I have worked on a few Merlins, they are very nicely engineered and sound awesome when running ;)

as far as engine's I've worked on, old school NA rotors are very easy to work on.

Fav engine......hmmm Cosworth BDA, 26B/13G 4 rotor(but have never worked on these)

[JDM_KING]

kool wat about the 4a engines like 4age 16v and 20v and 4agze ???

[dr1ft-pig]

4ages are a great engne to work on, never wrked on a gze though

not a engine for " max power " though

beam 3sge have alot of potential to pull good power i have heard, guess il find out:)

though so does any engne if you throw money at it

[Konakid]

B18C

Yeah.

[sun_moon]

253 V8 !!! its my fav !! ..... jokes



B18C

Yeah.

as always, konakid speaks the truth.

b18c have an amazingly spread power and torque band... and the sound is great.... i should have never sold my DC2 !!

the next NA car i will buy will be somethign with a b18 or a k20.... once you have driven VTEC each day, no other NA engine compares for power and driveablity.

[MINIHORSE]

NA-BDA
Turbo-Audi 2.1L 5Cyl Turbo
Rotor -Mad Mikes Carbed PP 20B

[Frak]

I think mad mikes is a 4 rotor.

tomorrow I'll be dynoing a slightly modified DC2 integra type r, I let you know what it gets!

[awang]

4AGE of course

[84AE86]

4agze

[chrisjjanfd3s]

peripheral ported 26B 950HP at 10500RPM

Shame about the fuel economy :(

[squish_m8]

I like 1jzgte :D coz can easily pull power from them and they are fairly tough

[Jase86]

Holden red 202 :thumbup:

[Frak]

dynoed DC2 Type R, FGK headers/exhaust, intake, SAFC 145kw at the wheels :)

[sun_moon]

145fwkw and amazing drivability, ie wide power band etc.

[Javal]

dynoed DC2 Type R, FGK headers/exhaust, intake, SAFC 145kw at the wheels :)

I think i know which one this was....

did an R-34 GT-T join in?

[Frak]

Yeah but it had some major problems(R34) compared to last time we dynoed, I think it was pulling lots of timing out and thus torque was dramatically reduced(and hence power) were you at trade school? say hello! I did speak to a Metro's lad today, if it was you, top attitude.

Ahoy, that be I.

Yeah i heard the guys in the yard saying he was spewing about it, went all quiet after losing 25(?)kw over his last run or something.

Anyway i'll see you around the workshop or something.

Oh, on topic:

Favorite engine to work on - Holden 3.8L. EVERYTHING is easy.
Favorite engine i've driven a car with - 4AGE - Revvy, rorty with good power - just the right amount in an E7 for overall balance.
Most powerful engine i've driven a car with - LS1. 330kw ATW. Fuck.
Favorite engine i've never driven a car with -My 18R-G :hehe:

Whaa?

What dyno?

That is a very high reading, B18C's need larger cams + valvesprings + fully programmable ecu for around 130fwkw.

Considering they make around 110fwkw stock, with their excellent factory tuning, i would not hesitate to call that figure very unreliable.

lol!!!

Mainline

Which is why the R34 was way down compared to last time on our unrealistically high reading dyno:rolleyes:

oh and the R33 GTS-T 4 door which we dynoed today that also put out stuff all, must only favour vtecs! damn racist dyno!

[Frak]

145fwkw and amazing drivability, ie wide power band etc.


yes two very nice flat(and I mean flat!) torque curves! the one below vtec and the one above, awesome engine.

[benzo]

Favourite engines

2JZGTE, SR20DET, 20B, B18C and 4AGE

But.. I most like working on my old K motors, and my old school rotor as they're so damn simple

best na1600 engine i have driven = b16a

best na1800 engine i have driven = b18c

best na2000 engine i have driven = k20a (havnt driven an F20c so cant comment)

honda does VERY well with NA engines.

[Jonny Rochester]

Perpetual motion engines are fairly cool, although limited in output.

I dynoed an F20c couple of years back.....bloody awesome!

maybe one day I'll defect to Honda ;)......hey wait I already have(bike!)

[aaron]

Cosworth YB 16v turbo

[orange86]

2jzgte + 4G63 FTW!

[Sam-Q]

maybe a Zochi 6 port aircooled?

40 to 50cc of two stroke fury.

[FAST EDDIE]

i love the toyota 3p in jays forklift

I don't really need to say anymore than that.

A 35fwkw gain for around 170 flywheel kw from a 1800cc motor from extractors, full exhaust, some agricultural tuning and an airfilter is a crock of shit. Especially considering honda's tune them factory for 95 octane, they have 2.25 inch mandrel bent exhausts factory and their exhaust/inlets are considered some of the best on any mass produced car in the world.

You said yourself, the 34 was having issues, and the 33 could have had a shit batch of fuel or another factor affecting its performance.

Have a look through this, you'll be unpleasantly surprised.

Konakid, seeing that you are a dyno expert, please tell me how to cheat on a mainline, tell me how to fudge the figures?

[20v ae71]

Favorite engine so far - my 4ac :P never overheats, reliable as fuck, skids 3rd :D
Favorite engine i've driven a car with - 1JZ JZX100 mk2. 330rwkw. nuff said

-A couple of Nissan SR20's would pull a premium one week before race wars
-2JZ NO SHIT

-4AGE 20V N/A POWAHHHHHH

bdg
f20c
opel calibra red top x20c

love my ep3 tyre r for the revvi ness

[LittleRedSpirit]

Most curious about 2az.
Most awesome Corolla conversion maybe Lotus spec 2zzgze in rwd.
Most laughs from driving so far maybe a 5 litre 99 hsv Maloo.
Most enjoy working on the 20 valves. Just such an easy layout to negotiate.
Motor Id like most to buy and build a car around, 2grfse.

[trueno]

sr20det is really simple to work on,and also the legendary 4age

[sonsta]

4k (H) cos they go strong no matter what haha

but probably my favorite xE7x conversion would be a 20v....cos it just seems so right!!

[dr1ft-pig]

145kw from a b18c... lol

mate got his dynoed here about 3-4 weeks back

made 112fwkw, it has cams,unichip ecu, stainless 2.5 inch zorst and a hard intake pipe

fucking sounds the goods :P

[tricky_dan]

well im a nissan boy and have owned a few CA's, SR's and RB's and i just looove the SR20! so many parts available, reasonably easy to work on for a turbo engine imo and an EPICCC amount of torque down low compared to the RB...!! i drove a CA for year, then an rb in a 32 for a bit and then SR and man the difference was amazing!!

although for a 2L i cant go past the sound of my current RB20 :o
