4A-GE

>what exactly did the 4A-GE revolutionize?
It was in an anime

Ford Barra series

350 chebby small block

0/10

if the 4a-ge is so good then why they only use it for 20 years.
The chevy small block was used for almost 50 years so it must be good.

Ford flathead v8

> revolutionary
set new standarts for NA engines
>reliable
These fuckers run forever

>4AGE
>revolutionary
Are weebs serious about this or is it just a troll thread? Does anyone really think this meh tier shitbox engine is that great?

It had DOHC in consumer cars, it had 5V/cylinder and it was the first engine to break the 100hp/L mark.

What was revolutionary about the ford flathead?

Why are people acting like 4A-GE's are only popular from Inital D, it's one of the most popular N/A engines for tons of reasons.

did someone say revolutions?

but it's not tho

it's a shitbox engine, nothing special really

OP said relieable...

lol apex seals

A shitbox engine with 20V and over 100hp/L...

>100hp/l
why are you lying?

Revolution? Communism was also considered revolutionary.

It worked too. In theory.

ford i6

>20V
This isn't revolutionary, it's so pointless that nobody even does it anymore

>over 100 hp/L
One version of it barely had 100 hp/L, and this is really not that special either

The 4A-GE Blacktop had 165Ps and was a 1,6L DOHC 20V engine.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#4A

It was special back then, no other consumer engine had that specific output.

the honda B series had 100 hp/L before the 4AGE did...

Read the article. The silver top(5v) came out in 1991 making 160hp.

Source?
Because the 1991 Silvertop had 100ps/l as well.

This car never made 100hp/l, it doesn't have the 20v engine

>the first engine to break the 100hp/L mark.
[citation needed]

just google it? there were a few B variants making 100 hp/L before 1991

also most 4AGE didnt have anywhere near 100 hp/L

the engine spins around. it does a revolution. you guys are amazingly retarded.

The 1989 B16A SIR-V didn´t have 100hp/L.
The later generations wich had 100hp/l+ started in 1992, the JDM B16A SIR-II for example.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_B_engine#B16A_SIR-V_.28First_Generation.29

All 20V versions had at least 100hp/L

BMW M3 e30 was making well past 100hp/l before the 4AGE ever was

Jesus fuck even i like 100hp/l and more but that alone isn't a reason as to why its a great engine. Its autism

the silver top made 160 ps, which is 158 hp.

No they didn't.

Yes but the M3 wasn't a consumer car, that's why the 4A-GE is extremely popular.

That car never made 100hp/l, why are you even posting it?

>STOP PPOOISTING CAARS REEE MY AUTISM CAANNNT HANDLE IT

neck yourself goatfucker

>BMW M3 e30
It made *almost* 100PS/L.

>but the M3 wasn't a consumer car

he fucks dogs
hes not muslim

What do the pictures have to do with my points you autist, of course I know it didn't.

It was the first affordable v8 that the average joe could buy. Lead the way for hotrodding and car modification

215Ps from a 2,3L engine are not 100Ps/L
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3_(E30)

Because the cars are shit and I don't want to see them

The E30 M3 never made 100hp/L as a consumer vehicle.

>people sperging over .01 hp/L

christ are you guys really this autistic about which shitbox engine is better?

So it was only cheap?

Only the race trim. The road versions didn't. 2.3 made 212hp and the 2.5 made 235hp.

The race trim of the 4AGE also made significantly more power too though.

You can't say their anime engine isn't the best or they lose it

It is more like 7% in case of the BMW.

Nobody claimed it would be the best, only that it was pretty good back then.

so that's a yes?

>hating on things just because it was featured in one of 2 car animes ever made

stay mad turboautist.
You're just jelly Veeky Forumstists respect cornering and your webm gets posted every time you show up.

learn to take a corner you fucking retard,
I hope your ls swapped piece of shit rust bucket cuntmobile finally launches you off the cliff because you're too retarded to know anything about driving so you have to compensate your pathetic skills with a bigger engine

refer to

lol looks like you were right:
that's some major tism right there

are you even trying?

>being this mad
holy shit if a cliff doesn't kill me this autism sure will

I don't really mind which one kills you but make sure it happens soon

>tfw T-VIS valves rattle and make you think your head is fucked

>It had DOHC in consumer cars
Alfa Romeo would like a word with you 30 years before

>it had 5V/cylinder
Been done since the 20's

>and it was the first engine to break the 100hp/L mark.
Well hello there, you seem to be forgetting me

Toyota actually done it in a proper and reliable manner instead of Alfa Ramemeo

on normal shitboxe's not fucking supercars you cuck

Ah the classic

>I-it doesn't count. I'm moving the goalposts RIGHT NOW!!

Face it weebs, you got rekt on all accounts and are in damaged control

uhh, this isn't even mentioning the rotaries, those BTFO at 1.3l

Ah, I didn't even remember that, maybe because here it's taxed as a 2.6, but just wait for their

>I meant pistons only, even though I never said it

well its coach built car so none of models were same so you could say it was kit car

yeah it would be quite rude to compare well built classic to italian built kitcar

its a good engine just ya know nothing revolutionary really

poobum

Sumtimes poopoo from bum bum

>japs
>actually doing anything revolutionary
Aha

t. diesel fiat cuckbox

maybe not , but alteast their engines still work long after italian and american engines

>this is what eurcucks thinks

Also light and compact for it's time. Being cheap and delivering that amount of power is a huge accomplishment.

Alfa engines are pretty reliable, everything else can be total shit.

V6 ecoboost

Because you can't make more money selling the same engine to people instead of making shittier engines that cause the car to need to be replaced sooner, requiring a new car, every so often. Planned obscelesence.
It's the same way in big pharma. Even if dichloroacetate cures cancer, doctors don't care about it since it's more profitable saying cancer is incurable, keeping people returning. Business

I want a pic related mostly because of the Quad4.

Mercedes-Benz had DOHC in consumer cars since the early 70s.

Fuck off ryosuke

K20 master race

>DOHC I4 with a really good specific output
Not revolutionary at all. A good engine, but nothing new about it.

>iron block DOHC I6
Nothing revolutionary either.

Only revolutionary in how cheap they offered their performance. Every single piece of tech on them was tried and tested (in more expensive cars, but still)

can I just post my favorite engine desu
