What do you pick and why?
B, it's the best out of the three.
you had me at linear power band user.
b.
C cuz revs
A is a wheezer no good
B is a boring no good
A or B
I don't want to rev to 9000rpm to pass a minivan or a crossover.
B
Who doesn't want a linear power band?
C, revs can't be beat.
Engine A should have 325lb-ft I think.
D: not enough info to solve equation
Hondafags who only see hp/l
A lot of people only see HP/L.
Pic for example. The ZX9 has a higher peak HP by a couple with 100cc less. You'd think the TL1000s was just slower, right?
C, I love high revving engines, but I wouldn't judge anyone who disagrees with me.
Every fucking time I forget the image.
Engine A for city, Engine B for racing on the touge.
With an American V8, you have a very satisfying feeling of power even during normal daily driving. You can always feel the torque pulling you even on light throttle.
A screamer feels like shit down low, but as the noise/power/vibration gets increasingly more obnoxious as you head toward an 8000+ redline, your excitement and nervousness also skyrocket. It's thrilling.
Nothing wrong with linear power, but both sides of the spectrum have their benefits too.
>A screamer feels like shit down low
What is variable valve timing
What else do you want from me?
Engine F
320HP
950lb-ft
1200RPM
Just makes noise
Vvt can't make up for that much extra displacement
Engine S:
>310HP @5000RPM
>376lb-ft @2500RPM
I rather have my own.
Engine B is very close to my beloved VQ37 so that gets my vote.
I don't want dispacement. I want my car to be calm and civilized when I'm just driving it around the city, but I also want a racecar engine for when I want to go fast.
A, I want me torks
engine c
any other answer is irrelevant for performance
A.
>t; area under the curve
>t; area under the curve
too bad anything under 3000rpm is irrelevant even with tall gearing, so it has a usable powerband of 3000rpm
engine b would have a usuable powerband of ~4000rpm
engine c would have a usuable powerband of ~5000rpm
>too bad anything under 3000rpm is irrelevant even with tall gearing, so it has a usable powerband of 3000rpm
Too bad that's made up stuff and opinions bro
lets assume engine a is an ls1
its the truth, look at how high the stall converters are on all ls drag cars
Okay well it's impossible for a powerband to only last until 3000 and produce 300hp with only 300ft-lb torque
i mean from 3000 to 6000
Depends on what chassis it's going in and its intended purpose.
This is a stupid question.
Who said anything about displacement? Displacement doesn't dictate powerband. You're assuming that all screamers are low displacement 4 cylinders and that vvt can't replace muh merican vee ate torks.
And funny enough, boost is a great for making up displacement.
Ford ecoboost v6 outperforms the v8 down low.
I'm guessing he wants the application.
engine Å
0,00002 hp
0,0015 lb-ft
8000000 rpm
Engine D
>200HP @ 4200 RPM
>370lb-ft @ 1800 RPM
>Engine A:
Murica V8
>Engine B:
Euro V8
>Engine C:
Some japan shit
>t. diesel cuck
(A) because torque a best and redlining is for race cars and Honda drivers.
>Some japan shit
What could that be but a turbo wankel
>Engine C:
>Some japan shit
>not a Ferrari v8
Pleb.
>Ferrari V8
>not even 400HP
Depends entirely on what vehicle it gets dropped into.
If you don't recognize that fact, then you shouldn't be allowed to post on an automotive board.
C
I don't care for acceleration or torque (or even power for that matter)
What I want is the feel you have when you climb up on the RPM and don't stop until the redline. The higher it is, the better i feel.
Engine a is literally a 1uz vvti
Not much low end strong mid punch and no power to speak of at 6500
OP assumes it's a RWD sports car
The F355 has 375 hp
ill take the LS motor all day!
Light weight and makes big boom
>corvette_oil_leak.jpg
It sure does
