Wow.....Ecotec has to be one of the worst engines ever built by Holden....meanwhile in God tier...
>>16504033
The only thing that's got going for it is reliability. It's iron, pigfat, heavy, and the inline configuration makes for a very forward CoG. It's got a limited valvetrain and it's intake over exhaust.
Barra is better
>>16504061
Wish i was. They are fair at low mileage. But be serious here. Have you ever seen one without any issues?

>>16504097
Back when I first got my licence I had a XE with the amazing 250 Crossflow that used to be able to do burnouts all day. Would literally be do circle work until I felt it was spending too much time with the temp guage in hot, park it in the shade for a bit and wash rinse and repeat. Had a mate with VS Commodore who decided to do his first burnout in it and 2 minutes in there was a god awful bang and then oil all over the ground. The 3800 V6 was truly rubbish

>>16504320
Its too bad Chrysler didn't invest in their Hemi 6 like Ford did with the 250ci as the Hemi had a superior bore/stroke than the Ford. Would have loved to see a crossflow 265 Hemi in the 80s or if it had lived in to the 90s a DOHC Turbo Hemi. It would have been like a Nissan RB but with a lot more capacity to play with
Pleb faggots.

>>16504175
This. The 1HD is better in literally every single objective.
In fact, without the bandaid of fuel injection, the Ford gas 300 six made even less power than the mechanically injected, non turbo 4.2 1HZ diesel.

I think it has more to do with the fact that you cover more ground going 40mph on improved terrain rather than 5 mph cutting your own road.

There's that too, Although the 1HD has no problem racking up those miles in this fashion anyway xD

>>16505058
Only godlike thing about the VR6 is its sound.
Silly faggots think cylinder count is only metric for an engine.
300 has wide industrial and truck and farm use with carb, EFI, and multifuel. It's best for those applications though stovebolt and slant six give it a run for its money.
It's a fucking truck engine and a very good one, but it's not a sports car engine and one thing is not like the other.
Sixes can pull some healthy loads. My towbro pulled an International 1600 40pax bus with his 292-powered C-30. However /o/ is a race car forum and nothing else belongs here.

>>16507324
This. While I wouldn't say the Barra is junk, it's definitely not a brilliant engine as a lot of inline 6 faggot fanboys here would like to believe. It is brilliant in the sense that it's the hero engine Ford Aus needed at the time, and were able to develop with what they had access to. They managed to drag "Grandpa's Axe" kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
There isn't really any science behind it, it's a relatively large capacity engine with factory boost.
>>16508117
Well for one a 350 Chev can make a hell of a lot more power in proportion to its capacity.
>>16507629
As much as I love the 300ci ferd I've got, that thing is badass.
>>16508342
Wut?

A Chevy 350 doesn't come from the factory with a Turbo DOHC and VCT. Also give me a Miami V8 any day of the week rather than a piston slapping Chevy
>>16508698
>A Chevy 350 doesn't come from the factory with a Turbo DOHC and VCT.
And yet it still puts out more power.

>ford 250
a comfy engine from XC-XE before fuel injection yet retained the nice appearance of carburetion and snorkel air filters. Not the best, but a alright engine to live with
>>16508429
Also no it doesnt make more power for capacity: LS1=45kw/L N/A Barra=48kw/L LS6=53kw/L Barra325T=81kw/L (more with overboost). Back to the thread topic there is no six that provides the bang for your buck of the Barra. The only drawback is the unfavorable bore/stroke which limits max revs but im pretty sure some tuning houses have built destroked 3.2L Barras
>>16508709
So a Viper V10 is superior to a Chevy 350 as it produces more power? Retard logic. The only advantage of a Chevy 350 as it has a running oil change so you just have to top up a litre of oil every morning.
>>16508698
I never said it did, and if you actually took the time to read my reply, you'll see I make note of that as the Ford six's greatest strength.
>>16508906
>Also no it doesnt make more power for capacity
I think you're missing what I'm saying and wrongly presuming the LS1 is either a 350 or the THE 350 we're talking about, but the point still stands for that too.
And I wasn't talking about the way they come factory tuned, but it's also worth noting the flagship factory LS1 was rated at 52.6hp/L.
I was talking about the design constraints of the 4L six which limit it to make power under its own breath. As the other anon said, it's only worth a damn with a gob full of boost, and even then you're stuck with an overweight, slow revving engine.
>>16508906
And also
>Back to the thread topic there is no six that provides the bang for your buck of the Barra
I indirectly make note of that too with Ford Aus able to make do with what they had. But if you're not in Aus, there's a plethora of other sixes that represent better value for money.
And then if you start destroking, you're still stuck with a tall deck block, and then you're stuck with the physical capacity of a theoretical 3.2, so while it may rev harder, you'd have to rev it almost 8000rpm anyway to even flow the same a 4L version would at its standard 6000rpm rev limit anyway.

>>16504071
That's not an ecotec, the exhaust port spacing is all wrong. It's a Buick 3800. And to say the ecotec wasn't a great motor is just plain stupid. They go forever, never overheat and if you do manage to pop one you can quite literally pick up a complete running engine for $50 and swap it over in afternoon. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for the alloytec.
>>16504042

Name a single one that cant be had in Australia.
More JZ ins Australia than the states, WAAAAY more RBs, and no matter what you think, the barra is hands down the best bang for buck power house l6 you can get. Fuck, it even puts the chebby v8s in commodores to fucking shame in that regard.
The barra will put a 2000kg boat down the 1/4 in 11.05 at 126mph, factory turbo and e85...

You know good and goddamn well he means ft*lb. tq is easier to type, and "torque" is easier to say than "foot pounds" or "pound feet." Since he already specified the American measurement system (by using hp, not kW) there's only one applicable torque measurement. Unless you think he meant slug-in/min^2.

>>16509528
Sorry, I see what you're saying. I'll take the liberty to backpedal and correct myself, "there's a plethora of other sixes that are ultimately more capable".
You're right in the sense that value for money, the XR6 Turbo is hard to beat. But again, that's not due to packing a brilliant motor, but a brilliant combination of a relatively large motor with factory forced induction.
Again, I agree that it's the hero car Ford Australia needed at a time when the incoming V8 was a mismatched joke (Cobra heads on another slow revving truck bottom end), and they were able to develop said hero car within the means and constraints they had.
I'll also add that if I wanted a fullsize compliant performance sedan that doubled as a street/strip monster without breaking the bank, the XR6T would be one of my first choices.

I never understood the logic behind the BOSS 260/290. Isn't the whole point of a OHC engine the ability to rev yet the 5.4 is long stroke which limits its revving. Why not go a 4.6 with alloy block DOHC and a blower
>>16510088
Heh, the only point of the 5.4 "Boss" motor wasn't much more than marketing. At the time when Ford Australia was coming to the end of Windsor supply, the only obvious V8 option was going to be the 4.6 Modular. Fearing it'd be too hard to try marketing a 4.6 against Australia's then new appreciation for 5.7 litre Gen 3 V8, they simply raided the US parts bin and came up with the Boss.
I guess as technically flawed as the Boss was, the XR8 and renewed GT models remained good sellers, but the Boss's technical flaws are kind of similar to the Barra, in the sense it can make an awful lot of power with forced induction, but it's not too impressive without it (although as we discussed previously, the not so technically brilliant Barra was sold with the brilliant combination of a factory turbocharged model).
At least the last 4 or so years, Ford brought us that delicious 5.0 Coyote with a Supercharger to make up the lack of capacity against the Commodores.
>>16510088
Also, I agree with you. I feel the 4.6 with a factory blower would've been a miles better option and from memory was an option Ford Aus looked at, but they must have deemed it more financially viable to create the parts bin Boss. At least they saw the error of their ways :D

The cylinder head and combustion chamber is derived from the Chevrolet L6 OHV "stovebolt" engine, slightly scaled up.

They're not much of a performance brand. They just throw everything they know works into a shitbox and sell it like hotcakes because it's reliable (until they fuck up the electronics)
Meanwhile, other brands actually experiment and sometimes fail, so normies say "wow, unreliable, get a corolla"
