wrc 3sgte >: )

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

2jz, 1000 hp bottom end stock

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

if the 2jz is better why don't denso and toms use it in their race cars :P

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

i voted for the EJ25, mainly because the sound of a boxer 4 with the right exhaust sounds supreme, and also the H4 can take a real good beating.

team titan FTW

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Whatever the 4 Rotor in the 787b was...

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I voted vg30...just because I used to have one and I know what they can do. They take one hell of a beating and keep asking for more, and have awesome torque to match.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

i can't believe people are voting b-series ::)

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

It's probably all the fools who still only own d-series >:D

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

x2....you should also consider the L28et. My stock bottom end holds up 22+psi in 280zxt with no problems.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

good point :P

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I would choose any japanese I6 . RB26 or 2jz or L28 cuz of there strong ass bottom ends

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

i can't believe the honda b series is beating the RB and 2jz :S

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

2JZ hands down. Nothing else up there you can make 1000hp on the stock bottom end

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

20b i believe....i would go with that too.....rotories are fukkin insane!

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

20b is a 3 rotor, not a 4.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

well then what did mazda use in there leman prototype class 787 car

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

the rb26 is a worthless heap, in stock form
the 2j is ------- heavy and the people with the power have it for about 2k rpms
20b's are 3 rotor, id rather have the 13b

if I had to choose, I wouldnt mind having a rb26 completly rebuilt the way it was meant to be...costing about... $15k.
I also wouldnt mind having a 13b built with everything there is to build it with...
and I still love my B series motor. Many different ways to build it...especially with the aftermarket support.

in stock form, i'd have a hard time choosing. I think id still rather have my R, and I haven't drivin it hard yet.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

2jz obviously.

18rgeu, toyota

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Saab B202 ------- iron monster. Obviously the uber rare JDM Saab b202 lol. Naw, I'd take any of the Japanese straight 6's in a heartbeat. Built RB or 2J.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Mazda used a R26B made by Wankel which spun out about 700 horses. hope this helped

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

2jz I loved that motor. but since I own a honda B series of course, and I saw the potential of the K series motors I may look into building and boosting one.
K series
2jz but I would not want it in a supra.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Suzuki H27 V6 with a H20 crank. 2.5 liter V6 with 69mm stroke for those 10k rpms all day long.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Holy cracked crankshafts, batman, those are a line of engines hyped way beyond their real world abilities.

Come to ashEVILle, rawr, and I will let you touch an ST205 WRC engine. If you are speshul nice, Mindy might even take you for a ride in it.

What potential, Leroy? The BRMS racecar makes more doesn't-mean-anything-but-is-the-potential-you-speak-of horsepower per psi off of a 1.8 liter B-series than the GT42R K-build they did... The B-series has a smaller turbo, and cost about half. It took 27 psi to break 500 whp on the K, 22 on the B. The B-series hasn't dumped two transmissions in three months, either.

K-series = ignorance.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

:-[ Haha, well I voted on reality kind of. I'd be satisfied with a built B18C1. Depends to what extent too, but I have nothing to put a supra motor into so I voted on picking a free motor and toying with it and that's what I'd do. Just look at CFT and their 10second Si.

Never worked on or anything with a 2JZ motor, but if it came with the car...yes that'd get my vote.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I think someone mentioned how JDM engine supply is rubbing low?

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Donald, how is the CDM engine supply looking?

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I voted B based on

1. after market support
2. reality, I can afford to build a complete B, and I feel a B would give the most return on horse power for limited money invested.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

thats true. and there a vid of them raping a supra

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

Lol ya think? Look at the cost of the b-series in the past 5 years...you used to be able to pick up a complete b16a longblock for $350, now you can't touch one for under $6-700. :P Prices on every japanese motor have sky-rocketed, thanks to mags like stoopid street promoting the rice world to every young kid who dreamed of owning a jdm car. ::) My idea to swap an ej20-sti motor into my 97 legacy are going down the tubes because of the price tag those motors are fetching these days. :P

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I think if I could pick any engine under the sun I would have to pick anything out of the LSx series.

But if I had to pick from JDM engines I suppose I would go with the most expensive so I could sell it and get me an LSx

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

D SERIES FOR THE MOTHER ------- WIN
Beating someone with a motor that came in almost every honda civic is pricless.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

i voted b series because i like it the most out of the motors that would fit in my car :1

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

well I did not know the K's were that shitty I base my opinion off the fiew that I see making great power.

but either way B series vtec is the way to go. fully built and boosted ofcourse.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I thought all of that crankshaft noise was fixed with on the 205's. do 2jz's not have the same problems? same manufacturer, probably the same alloys.

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

I voted B series simply because of the price. I know the question was if you could pick any....but that doesn't include the parts. Of those engines a boosted built B series for my daily driving purposes would be best for me.

This all could be changed if someone donated a E86 also ;D

Re: If you could pick any japanese engine, what would it be?
 

LMAO I wouldn't pick any of them.
They'd all be Toyota's tho... Cept maybe the odd 13b, or 20b installation for funzies.
1gz-fe = 5.0L v-12
3ur-fse = 5.7L v8, direct injection & dual vvtl-i
uz-fe family of v8's for insane hp per dollar.
Or the older 3vz-fe / 5vz-fe v6's.

I'd never pick an i4 to start a project. If you can fit an i4. You can fit a much higher potential, and more powerful v6 into the same space.
