>10 grand build can get you over 600hp
If you're really budget-minded, you can get to 600hp with just 4 grand.

hotrod.com/how-to/engine/hrdp-1104-594hp-53l-gen-iii-small-block-for-3252/

>no intercooler
>594hp
Add an intercooled or meth injection, and that thing will make 600.

>inb4 iron block
Aluminium 5.3's exists, and go for roughly the same price as iron ones.

Pic related.

Modular are almost the size of a big block - and you have to actively try in order to not make 700hp with a blown big block. Try that on a DOHC 5.0.

I wasn't including the price of it, but it'll still be under 10k otherwise.

Excuse my ignorance but why doesn't toyota make the 2jz anymore? I like straight six and v-8. What's going on?

Because V6's get better weight distribution. Their center of gravity is way less ahead of the front axle line, which moves a lot of weight backwards, removes the tendency to understeer etc.

I don't know why they don't make the engine and sell it to whoever would want to put it in their project car as a swap or whatever.

It would still make them a profit I imagine, and it's better than digging up old 2JZ's only to blow them the fuck up and lower the numbers even further.
Don't have to put them in any new cars, just make them available how Chevy offer the LS7 and perhaps other engines ?

1FZ-FE is gudder

That's not the 302 Windsor

Why use a T56 when the W58 is strong enough and a factory Toyota trans? inb4 MUH SIX SPEDE

if you spend 10k for only 600hp its a shit engine
LS manages to be one of the worst sounding V8s ever
so is literally everything

LS is a shitty meme

>why doesn't toyota make the 2jz anymore

Fuel Economy, weight and size.

L6s are too long for Current Year cars

>if you spend 10k for only 600hp its a shit engine

that includes the engine and mods, most of the 10k is for the base engine.

No, best budget engine would be the 4A-GE silvertop, you can find the fuckers on eBay for 600-800 just for the engine alone

Why do you hate reliability and instant torque?

Irrelevant

>irrelevant
Of course you think it's irrelevant when you can't even rev over 5.5k anyways
>MUH TORKS
That's what twin-scroll turbos are for genius

top lel

>sounds like shit

>it's the wrong fucking brand unless it's a GM product
>is the no fun plug and play option

but I could get a 302 for a couple hundred and get the same power for less using a blower

Same can be said for an old 350 or a Vortec Block.

>10 grand build can get you over 600hp

A LS376 6.2L Crate engine makes 525hp for $7k. That's a new engine, how you can only get around 600hp for $10k is insane. You can build up a 4.8L and boost it for less than $10k and get 1,200hp.

I know you're shitposting, but they've been built, also the cars they go in aren't pigfat 3500lb pieces of shit either

You won't get the throttle response you're looking for unless you go with a sequential setup.

It's like you think you know shit, but N/A is instant, I would understand if it were for a 2.5L even better a 3L engine which is why it works well for the 2jz, but for anything under 2L making more than 400hp you will get lag with a single turbo.

Go read a book or go to a garage and stop benchracing

yeah

the LS just isnt as great as everyone makes out

a stock 302 with a T5 weighs 70-ish lbs less than a LS1 with a T56 too

crate engines use gross horsepower tho, thats more like 400

agree with the Vortec tho

Do you know what a fucking twin-scroll is? Because it sounds like you don't and you're projecting the fact that you have no clue

goddamn that modular is literal xboxhueg...

so which LSx is best LS?
or all of them are the same because all of them are a good tuning base?

Do you know what compressor spin up lag is?

you can put a small turbine on a big compressor and still get alot of lag because it has to turn an xbox hueg compressor.

Laws of physics still exist and having a smaller turbine signature doesn't mean your huge compressor pushing 450CFM at island efficiency will move fast because your exhaust is pushing 87CFM.

Like I said, it's great for up to 400hp with a 4a-ge but trying to get more even with a twin scroll you're going to need something else to spool it up.

Aren't vortec blocks based on the LS series with an iron block?

Depends on what you want to do.

Twin charged 4A's are a thing mate, been done plenty of times and posted on Club4age forums, except there's no point in using a twin scroll in a twin charged setup

>Aren't vortec blocks based on the LS series with an iron block?

yes

and due to the iron block they are leagues stronger and love boost

>Twin charged 4A's are a thing mate
>implying I do not know this
>not getting the point that even with a twin scroll you'll get lag if you're aiming for anything over 400hp
>you're going to have to use something like a sequential setup to get instant response past that threshold because of how small the engine is and how little exhaust pressure it will be putting out

Twin charged is shit, you lose power turning the supercharger, just go sequential.

>I6 too long for current cars

>Not an exception to the rule
>somehow they're breadbox car makers now

I mean the 1 and 2 series are bread box, but still you get shorter hoods with a V6

You're a retard nobody cares about your 30 year old toyota tin-can engine.

He's also correct in stating that a sub-2 liter engine will have turbo lag no matter what if you make any considerable power.
And twin turbo'ing an engine with one exhaust manifold for the 4 exhaust ports will just add to the lag.

Even the Mine's R34 which is supposedly built for ultra-response, gets peak boost only from around 4k rpm, from a 2.6L, making just over 600hp.

Wasn't talking about twin turboing you mong, twin charging is having boost generated by a supercharger and turbo and what I mentioned earlier was twin scroll otherwise known as twin pulse like in the EVO IX, pay attention

I know what a twin scroll is retard, still good luck avoiding turbo lag on a tin-can prehistoric bottle-sized engine.

you seem to think twin scroll is some magic bullet.
it'll knock about 300rpm-800rpm off your spool up time which is fuck all on an engine spooling at 5.5k

>Turbo lag
The point of a twin-scroll is to eliminate BOOST THRESHOLD, because that's what you're referring to

and the EVO IX still had lag, which is why I'm saying what I'm saying.

Twin scroll does jack shit if the engine is too small to make the power you want.

KERS will be the only way to eliminate it but the setup would make it heavier than an LS engine.

>inb4 he says b-but muh daigumi
>inb4 he says samefagging

Well it's a good thing that 4A's rev quickly then, isn't it?

>meme words

turbo lag bro

Won't rev as quick when your rpms drop below boost :^)

>Doesn't understand the difference between turbo lag and boost threshold.

Boost threshold is the rpm at which the turbo makes full boost. Turbo lag is the delay with regards to changes in throttle provided you stay above the boost threshold.

>meme words
That's what turbo lag is
>won't rev as quick
[Citation Needed]

It does both.

Too bad you get shitty exhaust flow to take advantage of a 600hp twin scroll turbo.

You'll get turbo lag because you won't have sufficient exhaust flow to get instant throttle response.

I can buy plenty of cars for 3k with a 2jz in them. I don't think they're the 2jz that everyone wets their pants for but they can be built

Okay then if you want to move goalposts this much, I'll have some fun.

If you want to make LSx levels of power from a 4AGE:
>put huge turbo on
>boost threshold at 5k rpm to make 500hp because of low volume of exhaust gas from a shitty 1.whatever liter engine
>shift into next gear
>turbo lag of a second or so for the turbo to spool up fully because of low volume of exhaust gas from a shitty 1.whatever liter engine

are you happy my friend? :^)

No, because you're not accounting for the gearing of the transmission which will keep it in the threshold, especially the Silvertop/Blacktop transmissions

I'm not arguing about that. Any 600hp

Holy shit the goalposts are on another pitch this time.

I wonder how those different gearings magically shift a higher volume of air from the engine into the turbine wheel...

Well when they keep the rpms with the threshold it would be pushing out the volume of air required, it's not magic, it's science bitch

>it would be pushing out the volume of air required

A volume of air that is low enough to produce a significant amount of both boost threshold, and turbo lag.

What is your point? Or are you so angry that you forgot? :^)

>Problem with a 600hp LS engine is youll need to cam it significantly

Not really, pic related is just from putting a top end kit on an LS3.

No stroking, just a cam, intake and head change.

Short-Block: Chevrolet Performance LS3 crate engine, flat-top pistons (no valve reliefs)
Heads: Trick Flow Specialties Gen X 255 LS3 with dual valvesprings (flow 380 cfm)
Cam: Stock BTR/Comp (0.624/0.590 lift, 232/248 duration, 114 LSA) and three-bolt gear
Rockers: Stock Offset LS3
Intake: Speedmaster LS3 Individual Runner
EFI Management: Holley HP
Exhaust: 1 7/8-inch Kooks headers

if they changed the arms it could rev up to 7500 and make even more power.

No, but apparently you forgot because of the gearing keeps the engine speed at the required rpms then it WOULD be pushing the required volume of air, are you dense?

You're ignoring the fact that what you stated as 'turbo lag', still exists, even if you're shifting more often and are generally higher up in the rpm band.

Boost threshold will still be high as fuck, but the effect of shorter gearing would be similar to speeding down-hill and therefore going up in the rpms quicker.

Like the user earlier said, you won't have the response of an N/A engine from a turbo, especially not a 4AGE. Even if you go with a 5:1 gearing there will still be lag.

That would apply if you're using a huge single scroll, not on a good twin scroll

But you need a huge one to get to those power levels, do you not? :)

Not really, you do need a huge one if you go single scroll

reminder

...

are you going to ragequit just like you did on the boxer thread after being proved wrong?

You're dumb

I came here after a year hiatus from Veeky Forums to shitpost about lolpushrods but alas, I find OP has a point here.

I like how you quit that one pick up truck thread after I called your stupid ass out that the 2004 nissan frontier only comes with vg v6's and not vq's. Fuck off retard.

Ur a faget

my bad i guess

d40s frontier were released in 2004 and they had a vq

>Pretty fucking easy to put together yourself and easy to wire
What isn't?

gg

will do

pretty hard to bring up points like this when retards shitpost about lol pushrods can't rev or muh DOHC better at everything

Except DOHC is better than lolpushrods

They have advantages in certain areas.

DOHC, SOHC and OHV have different advantages for different things.

Yep, they destroy them both for top end power

Top end yes, Bottom end depends on the tune.

That and what tech is used in the head

>600hp
LS1 owner here

>heads/cam/exhaust/nitrous

a lot less than $10k for 600 hp. N/A

and cam.

Also the main reason DOHC will have better top end advantage is because it has the potential to rev to the moon and back (with the right materials and a really short stroke)

>top end power

OHV is KING of big power

>short stroke

this has nothing to do with the head design you faggot.

OHV can rev too. 6.0l LQ4 with a 4.8l crank making it 334 cubic inch

youtube.com/watch?v=52pNnE_jN3U

OHV is king of low end torque, top end power, and packaging.
DOHCfags need not apply.

>this has nothing to do with the head design

Which is why I included with a short stroke.

I also know about the destroked LS and Vortec engines.

I'm saying to rev to the moon and back you need a short stroke anyway.

>chokes at higher rpm
>king of top end power and packaging

Just add an improved valvetrain and a shorter stroke. Take the ford 302 and 289 for example.

>DOHC will have better top end advantage is because it has the potential to rev to the moon and back

yeah and OHV " (with the right materials and a really short stroke)" also "has the potential to rev to the moon and back"

b-but pushrods

>b-but bent pushrods
Ftfy

It won't rev past 15,000 (I've tested this shit in sims)

You can get 10,000 rpm reliably with pushrods.

youtube.com/watch?v=JtpzA0hd8Kg

You'll need a huge cam core, short rods made out of titanium or a very light stainless steel (aluminum won't cut it) as well as light rockers.

Sometimes I don't get you Veeky Forums, I'm not exactly disagreeing with anyone yet everyone has to act agro as fuck.

15k or even 10k is plenty for most people.

I'm well aware, but leave it to someone who will point out DOHC will rev 5k more and they'll take it and run with it

You're right but that's in an all-out racing application like pro-stock. Running 10,000 rpm with a OHV set up requires changing out springs every few passes and using a custom block with a super short deck height (e.g DRCE 2-3).

they're not 2jz-gte's so they will shit themselves going to 600hp

the good one is the 2jz-gte which came on the turbo supra, aka super fucking rare

the junkyard 5.3 you're referring to is iron, they handle stupid amounts of boost BECAUSE they're iron, still very light compared to the 2J though

thats why they had to ban OHC for being better right?

also, BBC a shitty shit
