best 4-cyl goes to the Boxer of the impreza or 911 cars!!!

if you want specifics, then the 2.0 H4 engine used in either the RB5 or the newer WR1 (modded Jap STi)

The fastest 4 banger on the planet right now is a GM Ecotech.

1000 hp :twisted:

Craig Paisley with a 7.275 E.T. at 191.77 mph in the final-round for his ninth career win. Per NHRA rules, Paisley was allowed to compete in eliminations in place of Brent Rau, whose car broke during his final run of qualifying on Saturday. Ioannou also set the Pro RWD national speed record of 207.13 during eliminations.

IMO Honda produces the best 4 cylinder engines. Two of them are the 2.0lt of the '04 Civic Type-R and the vtec 1.6 of the CRX. The 4 bangers of the STi and the EVO are good too, but they're turbocharged.

Definetly the old Type-R engine. I also like the 2.2 liter from the S2000.

Eh? From what I heard, Porsche doesn't make a Flat-4 for the 911!

My fav. is either the K20A from the DC5 Integra Type-R or the SR20 from the S15. Both tunable and damn good!

now its the H6-style, but up to the later 1990's they still had the H4 layout from what I am aware of

Yeah, the Porsche 944's had flat 4's

Anyways, I'm putting the S2000's 2.0liter, pre 2004 model people, engine and the current Lotus Elise's engine, which I KNOW is a Toyota Celica GT-S engine, either way, both are high revving and good engines.

Ok for one the S2000 has a F20. Thats a 2 liter folks. Not torquey enough with flat enough of a powerband and way too high of compression for me to care about it. I prefer just a good ol H22A. Maybe in a CRX? :twisted:

Rouin
Jul 07, 2004, 6:23 PM
B18C5 from the old school Integra R, and F22C from the new S2000. high revving N/A engines from Honda.

The Honda S-2000 V-Tec is by far the best 4 cylinder engine in the world......goes up to 9000 rpm, 1997cc, 177KW / 240 Hp...all this attached to a 6 speed gearbox...0-100km/h in 6.2 and top speed 240...ONLY 4 CYLINDERS and not turbo charged..."in the last 13 years, honda has made 15 million V-Tec systems...and they have never, NOT ONCE, had a single failure"

Well i would go for the honda's engine. like the K20 in the RSX Type R or the classic the B16..

If you talking turbocharged engines. Cant forget the 3sgte which totoya used in WRC of the past.
HKS tuned one of these for thier drag celica and was the first FWD car under the 10 sec barrier. The same engine was used in rod millen's Pikes Peak celica which had over 700hp

s2000. 120 bhp per litre stock and no turbos or anything. i think that wins.

For NA engines no questions asked the 2.2 l s2000 engine. For turbocharged well i think the evo 8 or the STi?!?! :? hmmm

In just one year of development with the Sunfire, we have been able to produce over 1000 horsepower and run a traction-limited best of 8.45 at 170 mph. The basic engine is so well engineered that the GM Racing engineers and Shavers Racing Engines were able to reliably extract over 1000 horsepower from the engine with a single turbo running on alcohol. And this was done using the production cylinder head and block castings!

:shock: :twisted: :smt006 :smt003 :smt007

the 2.3L or is it 2.2 from S2000.... <--- no turbo charged... and i dun even like hondas...

Ghalos

Oh contrare, the title is four cylinder! So no four rotors, sorry, otherwise, yes, that'd win everyone's vote. Some RX7's with those can do well over 200 mph.

Sep 15, 2004, 7:07 AM
The new 1.6i Ti-Vct engine in the Focus looks quite good, and yes, I would have a Diesel. Torquey and Powerful TDCi engine! Perhaps a 2.7i V6 outa a Jag S-type, buts its not a L4!

Oct 25, 2004, 6:43 PM
ok this isnt my favorite engine but not a bad one. the 4 cylider turbo jetta engine. Did you know that they had to pumb the blow off valve backward to create enough pressure to make it function. that takes skill. ahahah

but my favorite would be the.... celica engine? or maybe the s2000's engine.

BTW does anyone know if the mitusbishi FTO is a 4 banger?

Oct 25, 2004, 7:21 PM
im 99% sure that the older year models have a 4 cylinder turbo, a larger 4 cylinder, and the VR6.. a v6

so your wrong
go make fun of someone for bringing up an old post.

Ghalos
Oct 25, 2004, 7:22 PM
The FTO is an eclipse correct? Thus, it could have either...But since it's a sportier racier model, it'd likely have the GT V6...But I'm not completely positive.

Kirstyn
Oct 25, 2004, 7:33 PM
here's the different engines from the fto's

V6 24-valve MIVEC Engine
The sophisticated, powerful (200BHP@7500rpm) 2.0-litre V6 MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control) DOHC engine switches automatically between two sets of cam lobes: one for deft low rev response with muscular yet controlled torque, and the other for execptional top-end power. The result is a silky smooth ride at steady speeds, with a resonant, throaty bass roar that thrills the spirit when you decide to put the throttle down.


V6 24-valve Engine
The powerful 2.0-litre V6 DOHC engine is almost as powerful as it's sophisticated MIVEC counterpart, with flexible torque and outstanding peak power of 180BHP at 7000rpm (a mere 500rpm lower than the MIVEC unit). The result is a more refined engine note at high are RPM with minimal loss in performance. Like the MIVEC engine the 2.0-litre V6 DOHC engine is most at home at high revs.

1.8 16-valve Engine
This 1.8-litre 16 valve SOCH engine gives lively performance and outstanding fuel economy, with 16 valves giving a a peak power of 125BHP at 6000rpm. Torque is available from low RPM making this engine as flexible if not as powerful as the V6 engines.

so they made 2 v6 engines and 1 4cyl.

i thought you were talking about jetta engines since its was the main topic of my post.

and no i wont stop being an asshole cause your a ***** and all you do is talk about if people like your signature(not a single person cares), if we like some other member(bQQst), the cars you or your rich parents own, or the fact that you never create topic, you just reply to everyone elses ideas, and if you ever do create a topic you take someones idea change the company, or make up some stupid bullshit that know one cares about all just to be cool. so shut up

people like your signature(not a single person cares)

that would be in 'the question game' which if you knew anything about scf, is just an offtopic forum to talk about whatever, it's just a game asking questions.



or the fact that you never create topic, you just reply to everyone elses ideas, and if you ever do create a topic you take someones idea change the company, or make up some stupid bullshit that know one cares about all just to be cool

CK, I didn't think that you would go that low. I could understand that 999 would do that, because he hasn't exactly learned the ropes yet, but you have over 1000 posts. I thought you had a little more class.. :? I think that 999 is simply pissed off because everytime he brought up a post, you yelled at him or claimed that he was a "newb" when you have only been around for like 1 1/2 months.

The 1988 Oldsmobile Aerotech, an experimental high-speed vehicle incorporating the latest in performance technology, was driven by three-time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt to a world closed-course speed record of 257mph (413 km/h). It was powered by a specially-prepared turbo-charged version of the Quad 4 engine. The Aerotech body was designed by GM Design staff and is one of the sleekest vehicles yet developed for a GM car division. The design of the Aerotech includes the capability of adjusting underbody sections to control the distribution of downforce, front to rear.

The Aerotech body was designed by GM Design Staff and is one of the sleekest vehicles yet developed for a GM car division. Low to the ground with a canopy-covered cockpit, the Aerotech has an approximate curb weight of 1,600 pounds and wheelhase of 111.3 inches. The car's length is 192 inches and width is 86 inches. Its height is 40.1 inches and ground clearance ranges from 0,5 inch to 1 inch.
