What do you think is the greatest engine of all time:

Nissan - RB36DETT / VQ
GM - LS Series
Dodge - RT V-10
Ford - 5.0 Liter
Mazda - Renesis Rotary
Honda - 2.0 L (cant remember the code)
Toyota - I-6 (Supra Motor) / Prius Hybrid Engine
Mopar - 60's Hemi Engine (cant think off the top of my head right now)

or other.

 

i like the Toyota - supra motor, i've seen a video of one with 1000HP its amazing

 

the nissan VQ is impressive primarily of how much they use it and the variety of uses.

 

Everyone I know swears by the old version of the Hemi so this is the one I'll go with.

 

that would be the small block chevy.


end of thread.

 

 

^ werd, the 5.7 liter chevy smallblock.....classic

 

Best engine ever hands down!

 

You forgot BMW and Ferrari engines here.

 

What specific BMW engine are you referring to?

 

The S54 Engine

 

Old school 426 Hemi...greatest motor ever. These things don't die - and they also came stock underrated at 425 HP / 425 ft-lbs torque. HEMI

 

Porsche Carrera GT:

* No. of cylinders 10
* Displacement 5.7 liters
* Maximum power (SAE) 605 hp @ 8,000 rpm
* Maximum torque 435 lb-ft @ 5,750 rpm
* Maximum engine speed (revs) 8,400 rpm
* Compression ratio 12.0 : 1

 

I would also add the Buick 3.8 Turbo in the mix.

But IMO and I agree with Matt, the small block Chevy.

 

The engines in the previous M3 (Euro Spec) and current M3 cars. And the engine in the M5 car.

 

some of my personal fave's are the motor from the 1970 Hemi Cuda, the Current RB36DETT (Skyline R34) Nissan Motor, Ferraris 3.6L Modena Motor, Bugattis W-16, the Last Gen Audi S4 TTV6 and the Small Block LS6

 

i think the 289 Ford V8 is a great engine that was used by foreign car companies as well as Ford itself. SBChevy rocks!! (former z28 owner!)

 

rotary engines 2003 engine of the year

 

5.7L 350 cubic inch Chevy

 

Small block Chevy

 

I agrree with many others in that it's the Small block Chevy

 

My heart is with the 5.0L/302 Windsor from Ford, but mad props to GM for the 350 smallblock and Toyota for the 2JZ

Lets not forget the 4.6L in the 03 Cobra. People are running 9's on stock internals.

 

is the honda a b20?

E46 M3 engine is nice but it s over tuned by bmw... they squeeze every HP possible out of that thing... my friend never go over 6k rpm because he s afraid to blow that thing..

But if u ask me would i get 1 if i have the $? yes.


imo, best engine should be N/A... I like the S2k engine... not every interested in american muscle

 

supra I6 = 2JZ-GTE

here are some of my favs:

B18C5 - type R
SR20DET - Silvia
2JZGTE - supra
F20C - S2000
C32B2? - NSX
1UZFE - Lexus V8
RB26DETT - Skyline

not a big fan of muscle cars... too loud =)

 

isnt it rb26dett its a 2.6?

 

Ls1, 2, 6 baby...ohhhh yeah

 

the euro e36 m3 engine, would be one of the best enigines

the honda s2000 that much horspower out of a 2.0 liter is just pure engineering at its finest

 

yeah it is i had a typo. my bad

 

Ferrari make the best engines out there hands down. They are always a good 10 years ahead with their technology.

Personally, I'd like to see Honda make a V-8. That would be sick. Probably beat the hell out of all those damned BMW's and Mercedes that are all over the road.

 

After reading gavriils post about the new V10 M5 engine from BMW. It certainly deserves a place up there too. if you haven't read that article yet I suggest it to you gear heads.

I don't see whats so special about the 5.7l Chevy... had many that were great, had many that blew up. LOL

If your looking at HP to $$ ratio, it's a real winner. In terms of technology I dunno...

Imagine where the rotary engine would be today if all of the auto manufacturers had been spending time on it...

lol, I'm just a HP slut. So my vote goes to HEMI, and not the regular dodge one. The custom blocks made for the top fuel drags!

 

While I agree they are superb; your statement can very easily be argued, and is really your opinion not fact.

And Honda has a lot fo be jealous of from BMW engine designs. Read link I posted in the article above.

 

I bow to the new M5 engine

 

ferrari v8 or v12.....nothing sounds as good!

 

2JZ-GTE as far as stock import motor goodness.

 

I love the FWD Nissan SR20DE,SR20DET,SR16VE,SR16VET,and SR20VE all great 4 bangers

 

VQ35DETT

 

we're forgetting about the legacy of the Mitsu. Evo. and the Subaru STi.

Both great WRC cars and wonderful engines to build upon.
I'd think that the best of engines should be chosen from the ones car makers decide to use in the racing whether it be F1, nascar, rally, etc... These are the best in the business at building engines and I'm sure they'd know what's cream of the crop and choose only from that.

 

4g63 HEre... Evos have one of the best engines ever made 10 years old and they are still using it...

BTW they can run 600hp on pump gas and already have 1000 hp evo

 

1000 hp 4 banger?

Fuck!
