V6

There is no argument against it,v6 is simply the king,try to prove me wrong [spoiler]you can't[/spoiler]

Biggest problem with v6 is it only has 6 cylinders

If the LS series of V8s did not exist i would agree with you

>Naturally unbalanced
The V6 only exists as a compromise.
They need more power than a 4, but don't have the space for a balanced inline 6.

The engine will require extra balancing techniques that Rob some power and efficiency.

Is a VR6 engine more similar to V6 or I6 in terms of balance?

>somehow thinks a v6 can magically have the power of a v8 AND the fuel economy of an i4
Power in >power out
To produce x amount of power, you have to use y amount of fuel.
Period.

From what I understand the VR6 is worse than a regular 6. A regular V six hits closest to balanced at a 60° V

...

Forgot to add. The main reason for the VR6 is packaging. Modern metal casting and computer modeling means near any unbalance can be corrected. For performance the large boost in displacement of the better packaged motor will often be worth the sightly lower redline due to the unbalance

VR6 is a combination between V and line, the cylinders being at 15 degrees. The ideea was that you could get almost the power of a regular, 45-60 degree V6, but only more compact and more balanced.
So yes it's more similar to the l-6.
VW also released a VR5 engine some years ago, it was nice sounding and somewhat able, but it was too outdated even when it got released.

Was only matter of time before one of these got posted,you people are barneyfags of Veeky Forums

>most reliable bar none

split-pin cranks

lol

>if tuned properly can output hp more than most v8 and some v10

You mean by adding twin turbos right?

yes, the v6 will also have better mpg. v6s are pretty much just superior

Keep telling yourself that

>combustion engines all operate around the same air fuel ratio of 12.5-13.5:1
>"tuning" an engine is getting more air into the cylinders
>burn proportionate amount of gas
>smaller engine has to make power higher in rpm band
>burn more fuel than a v8 which has more torque lower in rpm range because have to use more throttle and at higher rpm for same power
Yeah, keep rolling with your small displacements

Have you ever heard of something called pumping losses?

>all cylinder configurations perform the same

The solstice isn't until the 21st, summerfag.

>VR6
>reliable
You shouldn't be allowed to lie like that

Better than an i6, easier to put behind the front axle and doesn't sound like a tractor.

this is true.

I been using my vr6 tiptronic cayenne since 2004 and it has been the most reliable car i ever owned.The only thing i needed to fix on it was suspension on 246k km and brakes every 100k km

>tiptronic cayenne

Name better mid-size suv.Actually no,name better suv in general

>most reliable layout bar none(2gr-fe,VR6,VR38DETT)

>a vw and a fucking GT-R
>bar none reliability

>infiniti fx45
>buying nip luxury which is just thier regular cars overpriced to shit
>lexus rx450h
Same as above.Also toyotas rust to shit after 5 years of use,my cayenne is 15 years old and there ain't single drop of rust on it!
>fucking chevy tahoe
I rather eat a boul of literal shit then buy american car ever again!

>power of a V8 and fuel economy of a I4
you got that backwords m8

V6 is power of a I4 with fuel economy of a V8
