hp/dollar, aftermarket, all round simplicity (you can google your problem and find a solution) etc.

why would anyone want to start the base of their performance car with a truck engine? low down torque and a low redline? no performance car should have this. Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, all know that top end power is what makes a car go fast and they keep pushing the limits in this regard.
the original corvette just had a truck engine slapped into a cars body to make it "fast" and cheap. this philosophy has stuck and boomers have latched onto it because they can't comprehend anything else other than "because that's the way it's always been done". they pass this mentality onto their inbred children who worship it like its the one and only truth when in reality there's many other ways to do the same thing for the same price point. with the savings gm uses in their shitty engines that haven't changed at all since the 60's, they don't even make the interior or other attributes of the car worth a shit.
there's a reason gm got bailed out twice. because their cars are shit and the majority of people who actually do their research prior to buying a car know that.
I immediately think less of a person when I see them driving a gm product because it means that they couldn't even do enough research to buy a good car, which is only the second largest expense the majority of the population makes.

>>15775295

This, pretty much.

People get so assmad about them being so popular (stop liking thing I don't like reeeeeee!) and yeah, they're actually not all that special, comparatively speaking.

It's sort of a chicken and egg thing too, the parts availability and vast aftermarket is what makes them so popular, which means that aftermarket is only going to grow because they're so popular.

They're pretty OK. I don't see a reason to be upset.

They're like rotary engines, except heavier and with less cast iron (except when they're a lot heavier and have more cast iron), and have piston rings that blow up when you boost them instead of apex seals.

No. Small block Chevy premiered in the Corvette, and it's always had significant distinction from the trucks by having stuff like GM's first fuel injection. Lately, they got the aluminium engines first, the redesigned heads, etc, etc. Basically, Corvette is first, pony cars follow, and then the trucks get their turn. I'm also pretty sure trucks never got the exotic bigblocks, like the ZL1.

Pushrod engines can still be used up to 10K RPM (See: Honda), but you don't need to. Design an engine with a bit longer stroke, add some torque, bam, power. Piston speed will be excessive anyways, so you might as well stick to the lower RPM where pushrods work fine without valve float.

Your average 2JZ swap still isn't going to clear 700hp. The LS is the cheapest engine that approaches those numbers, and that's why it's popular.

Which is the entire point and subject of the discussion.


I don't even rep either of them. My shit's the AMC straight six.
>>
>>15776776

Sure it'll make 1000hp on stock internals.

But it won't last long, 600-700hp is about the max you'd want to run daily with some semblance of reliability

I don't recall LS topping out on the inside of 475.

And you still haven't addressed the main point of the hp/$ ratio being the selling get point. You're just nitpicking something I said as an offhand comparison to another extremely common backyard swap. All you're trying to argue is that the 2JZ is a superior engine. If you're paying two grand for it, it better be.

It's pretty common to start dyno pulls at 3000-4000 RPM to reduce wear and because no one really cares how much power their car makes at 2500 RPM (although bus riders love to point out how much power their daddy's v8 makes at idle).

I know you're just shitposting, but oil pumps designed to operate at 9000 RPM don't work efficiently at 2000 RPM. Wide open throttle off idle with a load on it qualifies as abuse. Most people won't even tune their engines down that low because it's a waste of time and you're never going to be starting a 30-roll in top gear. Just because some Honda kiddie is an idiot doesn't mean "Honda reliability" will stand up to that abuse forever.

The rotary is already making 20 horsepower more than the F20C at 4500 RPM, and continues making more power than the F20C all the way out to redline.

>Yeah sure, apart from the oil pump designed to work at the redline
All oil pumps are designed to work at redline. If your engine is good for 9000 RPM, but your oil pump starts to cavitate at 7500 RPM, you damn well better set your fuel cut at 7200 RPM unless you enjoy replacing engines every weekend.

Listen you illliterate fuck, F20C is at the wheels, the Rotary is a the crank.
The only thing in the rotary's favour is that the Dynojet is typically a "more generous" dyno than the Mustang.

>the engine in the dyno is a reneshit
It's not. It's from a 1974 RX-7 GSL-SE. The reason I posted it is because some idiot claimed that peripheral ports are unstreetable race engines, and I pointed out that they're typically less peaky than an S2000. Most people on /o/ would just laugh and call you a pussy if you claimed that the S2000 is unstreetable.

Here, listen to this. 450 whp 3 rotor with a glasspack exhaust. It's fairly loud, but it's not clipping the audio at idle and it's not the loudest car at the track.

TFW you remove emissions, convert to single turbo, and get an aftermarket intake manifold, TBs and standalone ECU and free up 200lbs in the engine bay and have a 600 hp 2-rotor that weighs under 2600 lbs

They're cheap, reliable, powerful, have a large aftermarket, and are compact for a V8. In fact, several of them are aluminum block when stock, so you lose weight compared to an ironblock I4/V6/ETC.

I didn't read every post ITT so if someone already mentioned this whatever, but . . .

the LS isn't just one engine, it refers to an architecture comprising dozens of engines made from the late 90's to today, which share many common components allowing for interchangeability, and a gigantic aftermarket since manufacturers don't have to worry about designing unique parts for each motor. on top of all that they're super common since they were available in trucks, vans, suv's, sedans, sports cars, combined with the large aftermarket, and interchangeable parts it's a super popular choice for anyone wanting a high performance motor. not to forget the motors are very strong in their stock form and can be pushed hard on stock internals

Pretty sure I've heard that DOHC is more friction efficient and simpler, it has fewer parts.

No. Unlike you, I don't blindly worship an engine because of and arbitrary cylinder configuration.

Here's another example of a god tier 4x4 light vehicle motor, that also happens to be a six.

Nice logic.
And finally, another god tier motor in this company that succeeded the six cylinders in absolutely every objective manner possible... Apart from turning a spanner on the thing. Swapping an alternator on this thing takes about four beers from start to finish, as opposed to the one beer for the older sixes.

You fucked up. You shoudl have admitted it while you still had a chance, but you're squirming, to no avail. It's that delusion I was talking about earlier.

We've generally established Toyota's Jewry exceeds their product quality and they can't fucking make a diesel anymore, but what about the VD V8 engine by itself? Well.... this is just for you. I hope you enjoy the reading.

All those examples you've linked have absolutely nothing to do with the 1VD. Good job, and pro-tip, D4D is not an engine. It's nothing more than Toyota marketing for their direct injection diesels.

Yep, Isuzu build some strong commercial powerplants too.

I don't think there's too many commercial engines out there that hasn't left anecdotal problematic reports.
