obligatory LS mention
any turbo engines worth mentioning
LS2
You can get it in the 2005 or 2006 GTO. 400hp and torque
op here
I guess LS is really the only answer...
For the 330-400hp range, what would be the best V6 that fits what I'm looking for?
S54 bmw i6
>bmw
>reliability
pick one and only one
>V6
Ecoboost?
Dorito
How does this compare to the Nissan VQ?
Never thought of it, but sounds good . .
>GM
>reliability

>average to above average reliability
k20 turbo, ej20 or 25, 4g63
4 cyl are lightest maybe cheapest
or
ls series.
>k20 turbo
Isn't the K20 a high compression engine? If you stick a turbo on it don't you have to run 100 octane e85?
How reliable is the EJ turbo off the legacy (tbqh I don't trust Mitsubishi with anything)?
there are low compression K20s as well
All depends on the vehicle.
A 400hp turbo 4 that has to rev to 8k will painful to drive in a 4,500 pound land yacht. You'll need torque to get off the line.
And again a 400hp big block in a civic is going to handle like shit because of weight distribution.
Audi V8.
The engine I'm replacing is a 3SGTE turbo I4
just about anything is going to be lighter and distribute well
You can get S65 with bad bearings for cheap.
L67 3800.
TIMING CHAINS
eh. more like timing chain guides. But still, it's got to be up there if it can be managed.
I don't understand the point of this thread, is OP going to swap an engine into something?
Yes
The engine is for a mark 2 MR2
Everyone wants me to put the Rav 4 engine in it, which I'm against
You can get 450 horsepower naturally aspirated K series.
@ expense. Cheapest he wants.
Cant you just increase boost on the mr2 turbos standard engine ?
The jz is reliable, and fairly cheap to get t power from but it's heavy, man
Why not open with that? Stick to the rav 4 engine or any of the popular swaps for mr2's unless you have your own machine shop.
damn, this might be a great engine to drop into a classic mustang. get one of them v6 coupe, and drop an ecoboost in
= profit
>lightweight
>iron block I6
retard.
Didn't Mr2's come with supercharger?
AW11s did, SW20s had a turbo variant.
not when the previous owner shot all the rods to the moon and blew every piece on the engine- gawd damnt
To my knowledge, the second gen only got na's and turbos.
This.
If you happen to find one that is.
>S54
>Iron block
wat
Use a used one, saves hella money on mounts and stuff
>2GR-FE 2005–2012
>201 kW (273 PS; 270 hp)@6200, 333 N·m (246 lb·ft)@4700
Please, no . .
...
VQ's are nice but expensive to build.
Only go VQ if you have an R35 donor or absolutely have to have it.
