Anything smaller than 3litres is silly. Small things can't support big pressures.

My holden straight 6 is the best because it makes good torque, and we all know that while power wins in the pub, torque wins on the track.


your turn.

The engine in my car is smaller, may not be as powerful or as fast, but I'll still beat you as you will no doubt run out of fuel well before me.

Hah your puny holden motor pales in comparison to the mighty HEMI 265.

I love it because it started life as a truck engine in canada, and was transformed thru a mix of Australian and Italian engineering into a deadset screamer. In 1972, they put out 320hp in R/T spec. And an E49 charger would eat the 1/4 mile in 14.4 seconds on dodgey 1970's road tyres. In my car I have the Hi-Comp 2bbl performance version.. with the lowest spec carb and exhaust package. It drinks like a 4 and pulls like an 8. Its got tourque bloody everywhere .

These days with modern performance enhancements there are turbo, blow thru carb HEMIs doing low 10's and being driven on the street every day.

They were (and still are) horribly underated and must certainly be one of the greatest engines ever put together by Australians

Micra engine 1.3l power ,,,, Nuff said you all got nothing.

your motor sucks cos it's yours, mine is better cos i own it

mine > yours as all the bearings are where there suposed to be

mine will rape u due to power to weight

My motor is best cos it has 'splosions

2JZ-GTE. Enuff said

Man where do i start,. Here is a short list.
Rods
Pistons
Head or heads
Valves
Vale springs
Pushrods
Rockers
Cams
Oh and they all go up and down not round and round what a waste of energy.
All adds up to more things that can go wrong and thing you don't need

*cough* apex seals *cough*

I really do appreciate rotors.. but despite the common sense that less parts means less maintenance, it doesn't really work out that way in the real world. And for the capacity ..they are horrible on fuel.

That said, as a performance motor, that is well looked after.. they are frikken awesome.

dont you ever let Dean here you say that. He will pop a stitch. Mopar men cant like Rotors

.. yeah... I haven't always been a mopar nut.. I grew up restoring 1930's european cars.. then moved onto 1960's euros....then 1970's euros... My first car was a heavily modified beetle....and we did consider putting a rotor in it at one stage....

Then we sobered up

LOL.... Do you know Dean with the Dodge challenger..... Lives in Palmo works at the power station also have a mercury chop top

Yeah I know him... Well I've met him anyway... Mopar crowd isn't huge up here.

With my turbo hilux rotor ute i used to have i could put 20 bucks worth of fuel in it, take it to the drags race it, run 11 second quarters and go cruising after and still go home with fuel and the v8 boys would alwas be putting fuel in there cars. It was awsome on fuel and when tuned properly a turbo rotor uses bugger all fuel and apex seal problems are prity much a thing of the past with the new type.

my motor has all it's bearing where they are suposed to be....

as BJ states small capacity but can hold its own on the track and it aint even half the 3ltr.

well for me though im going with less moving parts,unbreakable seals and the most annoying sound to other road users.

ROTOR FTW.


and thats why your motor sucks and the lil ones win

Pft. The little motors only do well at the roundy roundys cos of their suspension set up.

pfft rotor aint a motor....
if it aint v8 im not interested ford,holden or hemi any day over any chook cooker crap

And whats wrong with your cam

well i have td42, sr20 and vq30 so i have 16 pistons and 9.2L of fury....better get outta ma way

5.8 litres.

Roughly equates to 35.1 inches. All of it in your girlfriend.

well i guess you could say my engine sucks, its more the turbo.

1.5JZ. T04z. That is all.

It has a 2J bottom end, so close enough.

+it has 'splosions too.

Four's= good for fuel economy and your budget racer
Six's= can be good on fuel but can also put out some serious HP
Eight's= makes for a good boat anchor or something to put in you Barnyard tractor
Rotary's= the best ( seriously you just cant beat them)

I only have an aristo 2JZ-GTE. Does anyone in darwin have USDM steel wheel'd turbo's?

nope, pm 50Cal, I believe he tracked down some from Titan Motorsports in the U S OF A WOOOOTA!

So is mine.... lol

but Myne is da bestest cos its a pink!



Memories

$20 bucks thats a shit load of long grain



as a certain small person would say pretty lawn mower boi



I dunno if i do cos ima "V8 Bogan" but check that turbo thread in the NT section

for some reason you let someone tune it like 4 times in a row and it gets worse and worse?

AMIDOINGITRIGHT???

mines only a 1.3 litre too, but bet it's quicker than that commodore v6.

Agreed.

ahhh nup!!

L18 .... wot more can eye say

No shit

With Naws.

well. as an engine goes through its combustion cycle, the exhaust expelled from the engine turns a turbine wheel that is attached to another wheel via a shaft. this other wheel (known as a compressor wheel) then spins at the same rate as the turbine wheel (proportional to the ratio between the two wheels) that then draws air through it and pressures the intake system that is then pushed into the engine as the intake valves open

thats why my engine sucks....

only RC cars have motors. (mines close... but its not quite an RC car )

best upgrade for that combo would be a 60" HD plasma and the lapd chasing it

I'd be double checking the dictionary on that one

mo·tor (mō'tər)
n.

1.

Something, such as a machine or an engine, that produces or imparts motion.
2.

A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially an internal-combustion engine or an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power.

damn slack generation cant be bothered differentiating it anymore...



well i checked the new 1973 edition! so THERE!

gay

lol

HMMMMM...

Do want.

well i was pointing out a motor that sux and turbos suck shit

turbos help a motor suck more?
