I nominate the K24A4 and VQ35DE as god tier because they're still modern as fuck and kick ass even today.
the Hyundai Beta II is just as capable as this motor and it's far older
but you won't talk about that because the korean reliability meme still hangs on
Kevin King
I nominate MZR because its the only one I own
Joshua Walker
in before nissan scum guy gets butthurt and trashes your thread
Brandon Ortiz
Oh I never had doubts about those engines, my mom had a kia optima 2.4 and it was reliable as fuck if you maintained it and changed wear items like timing belts, she's got the Sonata 3.3 Lambda now which is a beast too after getting her old one totaled.
Ethan Russell
k24a4 is like one of the most anemic motors in the k series family, but ok user
Luke Gray
>peasant tier k-series kek
Andrew Johnson
I know the K24A4 isn't the most representative of the K series, but is was really good in the inexpensive hondas it came in, it's only 10 hp less than a hyundai 2.7 V6 and it's more efficient.
Ethan Robinson
I'll just go with the obvious, 6bt 5.9L cummins and the 7.3l powerstroke
Carter Hill
Noice, pre emissions where you gotta suffocate it with a dpf and scr.

I nominate the 3S-GE BEAMS, suck it mazdafags
Josiah Morgan
speaking of Honda engines, what's the consensus on f20/f22? Thinking about swapping that into my shitbox 86 later when i'm not a benchracing poorfag
Jeremiah Cook
It's a 4 banger with forged internals at stock, 240hp, and built for RWD, looks good at least on paper.
Camden Scott

Jordan Sullivan
At least on the K24A4 I'm drivin, way better than the hyundai 4 bangers I've driven, must be the weird ass intake runners that are super long.

So what kind of torque is it throwing down besides the 'crazy' scale?
Leo Jenkins
Okay it's not crazy, just trying to big it up. it's decent though.
Evan Stewart
138lb of pure torque haha
David Flores
The purest.

Feels good man, gives an excuse to rev the piss out of it
Jack Jenkins
138 whole torques is not alot of torques, user. That's one of the easiest things to get from an engine, is torque. How big is that engine you've been talking up this entire time anyway?
Sebastian Foster

I'm rolling with what falls into my possession.
That's kinda shitty how it's only 2.35L, the 3.3L Hyundai my mom has is 3342cc

It's not auto tho
The autos have the PRND in the cluster
Parker Martin
I've driven the beams engine in another sw20, not all that though it would probably be amazing in a stupid light car.
I nominate the 3rd gen 3SGTE
Carson Sullivan
that's literally cropped from the auto button on the wheel. I was being pedantic.

My K24Z7 Approx 300whp/265wtq
Angel Foster
I have a Spectra5 with a Beta engine. 140k miles and zero issues. First timing belt change at 130k (wasn't my fault) too.
Nathaniel Moore
>265wtq in that little ass car Nice.
Jack Richardson
Good engine.
Nathaniel Rogers
Nice, which stage kit is that? Also what clutch do you use?
Aiming for 300 whp myself but going all motor. I have 90% of the parts on hand and am hoping to pull the motor by March
Oliver Young
RBC manifold rubs against the hood stand thing a little bit, but otherwise the only difference in dimensions between the k24a2 and the k20z3 is the deck height
It's going to be hard to hit 300whp with all motor. What compression are you running? RBC intake manifold? Pistons? Tell me more please I'm genuinely interested
Oliver Rogers
It's nice just big and not the best power to liter ratio.
>500 hp/lbs-ft N/A >450 lb engine Hurr muh power per liter
Brayden Long
I've got a J18A, it's alright. Not much top end power but a lot of torque and a decent sound. Pretty bulletproof so far.
Hudson Barnes
No tofu engine? wtf Veeky Forums?
Brody Davis
Is there anything the 4A does that the 3S doesnt do better?
Bentley Brown
I like the engine, it's just huge for the power it's making.
James Gomez

Landon Lee
12.5:1 on a k24a2 block. modified k20a2 oil pump pistons and rods are the last thing I'm deciding on. May be boring it out to 88mm, still have to do some research on that. Once I pull the trigger on those (next week or two), I'll be ready to go. k20z3 underdrive k20z3 oil cooler k20z3 cylinder head probably have it ported along with the rbc manifold when the block goes in to be bored. drag cartel 3.2's (was looking for more of a "road race" cam rather than something for the strip - milder lift specs on the intake side compared to the 4's and 4.5's) supertech 92 lb dual spring valve train valves are skunk2, but stock spec rdx injectors, I think the stock fuel pump will be fine
Also currently running things like hondata img, hybrid racing cold air intake, s2 alpha series header and 3 inch exhaust. And exedy stage 1 clutch with the hf02 flywheel
So about 7 grand in and I should be able to make very close to 300 whp with a tail wind in my honda civic fucking kill me kek. Dyno numbers are pretty arbitrary, but I have seen people hitting 290's on 3.2's with the k24a2 head and builds less complete than mine. If I could put down anywhere between 60-80whp of gains I would be pretty happy.
It's been a really fun project though and I've learned an assload about cars in the process. If you're in the midwest, maybe someday we can run em. 9th gen s/c vs. 8th gen frankenstein would be a pretty sick matchup

do kswap instead. better engine and cheaper.

VQ35HR is a good engine. DE is a Renault POS. Neither of them are god tier though.

Jonathan Garcia
L76 good mpg for a v8 and still is just as much fun as any other v8.
Cameron Torres
Ldt-465-1c. Not built for power, but rather for insane operating conditions. Will run on any fuel you have. Gasoline, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, veggie, diesel, jet fuel, lp, kerosene, and a bunch of other shit. It also carries a 22:1 compression ratio and has a small turbo (only in boost, damn thing weighs 47 lbs). It will run clean at elevations of up to 18k feet with no measurable power loss. Has 3 sets of fuel water separation filters, 2 sets of oil filters, 6 poppit injectors that never require tuning, and can be found from 130 hp in the ldt series, to 410 hp in the lds series.
Colton Bell

Jeremiah Roberts
>LS7 >72.1 HP/L >K24A4 >66.7 HP/L What did he mean by this?
Mason Gray
Military put them in the deuce and a half and the 5 ton truck. It's built by White tractor company originally but the military cranked up the compression. Down side with the pre-1c was the tendency to blow headgaskets. I own 3 m35a2's and a variety of 5 tons that work on our farm. Dirt fucking cheap.
Charles Jackson
Nobody does. Everyone just knows that the shitty Lambda engine is made of glass, cheap glass.

M57 inline 6 diesel with plenty of torque and plenty of potential (can handle up to 400hp/1000nm on stock internals) good on gas (about 42 mpg highways) very reliable - my car is nearing 310k miles, seen an m57 powered e46 hit 910.000 km (565k miles)
Lincoln Howard
The 13 civic si K24 does
Luis Hill
>13 civic The K24A4 is an old pos but it was made in 2003 was a 138hp or less engine was the norm, even modern shitbox corollas only make 140hp.

vg30/33 is god tier. if your engine can't pull 300k without pulling the valve covers then you should leave.

It's on sale... monthly payments...

Is there any tuning potential in the VQ35DE short of forced induction?
Looking at getting an 03-05 G35 coupe next year since I'm an Infiniti lube monkey and aside from everyone there knowing how to take the entire car apart as well as access to every diagnostic tool I'd ever want, anything I learn to do on it immediately translates to knowledge usable on the job. I heard the GTR is based on the same chassis, could I put GTR parts on it if I wanted?
