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

Well, this thread really depends how you interpret it, either from a realistic or idealistic standpoint, its very clear why B series would be ahead from a realistic standpoint because most of us have toyed with them, know what and where to get most parts. They are relative inexpensive and readily available compared to some of the other motors. 1990 Technology FTW

Good to know, I'm not wholly up on Toyota stuff, but I think you might be wrong about whatever comes in the newer Celica GT-S? They had and to a lesser extent still have a tendency to come apart with revs.


You familiar with "node" from some of the MR2 boards? He's local, has a 3.4 Taco engine (dunno the code) dropped in aone with a ching chong meow T3/T04E and Megasquirt. It's a fun setup.


I'm going to strongly disagree with your opinion of 4G63, though. The engine itself is tits, it's just everything it is attached to sucks the big one.

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

I completely agree. Ive been working on dsm's regularly for about a year now at my brother inlaws garage and let me tell you these dsms we work on are the ones that no other garage will take because theyve been raped by two our three differant owners all under the age of 20 with Paul walker posters in their bedrooms.

As bad as dsm's are Ive never seen a 4g63 engine failure that was it's fault. They have cast pistons put a good crank and forged rods stock they can handle years of abuse that for a fact a B series honda motor would never live through.

Ive talked to you about it in pm but my 4g63 and honda distributor project is still happening Ive just been busy with other things.

The 2zz-ge? Na Toyota is conervative OEM. What happened was people could downshift from 90mph+ into a gear that would sling the valvetrain to 5000-6500rpm. factory valvetrains just don't normally *do* that fast. The bottom end would come out relatively fine. The valvetrains. Ya they get tore ------- up. (The botom end would be spinning 11,000-13,000rpm)
So they toned it down after, I forget... Two years of the four they were avalible?
At any rate... They got the stigma that you can't run high rpm on them becuase the stock engine would blow the valvetrain if you grossly missed a shift. hah.




Yall have never seen a 4g63's fail? I've seen quite afew with pistons damage. Hype wise, they're in the exact same boat as 3s-gte's are. Just not as bad because I'd say argueably the 3s-gte community (MR2 turbo / awd Celica) is alittle more educated on what not to do. It's not that they can't sometimes make 400-450bhp stock. It's that very few people can & have done it on dyno's. And none of them are reliable by any means like that off a dyno. You take one of those engines tuned OK on a dyno. Put it on the street & it's toast. Are the pistons flat out cast, or hypereutectic?





3t-gte??? Somebody likes racing Paseo's & Tercel's. bawahahahahahahaha

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

i picked a Honda B-series... cuz i dont think i could ever have or afford one of those motors.... wait i have 4... :1


RB26...cuz a 1000hp 510 wagon just sounds pimp...

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

4 rotor in a crx would be nice

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

I think you have the 4EFTE mixed up with this motor, this would fit dandy in a te27(corolla) and is just as stout as all the 3tc engines.. but has a factory turbo, dual plugs and DOHC.. I can do without the dual plugs but the rest is peachy in my books.

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

Rb26 .. can't beat the power and sound of that engine. Although the Supra engine does sound sick aswell :-\

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

which SR20 is the best one? the s13, s14 or s15? i'm going to guess the s15 since out of the box it makes the most power...
