Would you rather have a 1.2 engine with turbo or a 1.5 atmospheric engine??

Would you rather have a 1.2 engine with turbo or a 1.5 atmospheric engine??

Turbo. Boost noises are fun.

I'd rather have the use of my legs

1.2 turbo, at least you could extract more power out of it.

Boost is fun and feels fun

And what about durability??

>1.2 or 1.5
For my motorcycle?

most european thread of the day

1.5. Then turbo it.

I'll keep my 6 liter V8 thanks

neither
1.2 is a 3 cylinder
1.5 is gutless
1.4 tsi is the correct answer

1,5
Add turbo

>1.2 is a 3 cylinder
>implying VW is the only brand to make a 1.2 with a tarbo strapped to it

anything less than 3 liters is worthless

>not Twincharging a 7.0L V8

why even bother with anything less.

show me a tarbo 4cly 1.2 engine fgt

I just did, that's a Renault D4FT

depends on the size of the turbo

>People who buy VAG
>People who are somewhat knowledgeable of automotive tech
Choose one

>He doesn't know americans also race on tracks with corners

The best american car i ever got to drive was a formula atlantic car with some ford four banger

turbo 1.2 rotary

Woah mate, an 2000 lbs. engine putting out 3300hp, that's almost impressive!

Why the fuck do you think a full alloy engine would weigh 900kg you autistic euro cuck

This. Just because it would be more fun to play around it.

Nobody cares about your farting block.

You don't understand the spirit of Veeky Forums if you think the only important thing is
>MOAR POWUR!!!!!!!!!

1.0T Ecomeme 125hp or 140hp version only.

The 1.2 would have to be a rotary and the 1.4 would have to have vtec for me to have any interest in this at all.

Toyota 8NR (in the c-hr)
makes 114hp while the 1.5 n/a engine in the same car only manages 105

>Actually believes truck engines designed in the 1940's are lightweight.
I bet you think you are lightweight yourself as well you screeching amerilard.

>LSX
>truck engine from the 1940s
nigger what

At such a small size, forced induction does more than 300cc greater displacement. I say turbo

>fully built alloy lsx
>1940s truck engine
What cunt. dumb eurocuck did the vw diesel fumes erode your brain

Based Prez blasting yuro ass like usual

Why are Americans so fucking dumb?

Look it's simple: squeezing 200hp out of a 1.5L is WAY MORE FUN than getting 400hp out of your 5L V8. Not everyone is all about putting the most easy power into their land barge and trying to go as fast as possible in a straight line. Some people like a challenge.

The fact that your land barge is faster is not important. It is not as much fun to build and probably not as much fun to drive, either.

>eurofags actually believe this

Are you an actual retard? Fine, 1955 isn't the 1940's I'll give you that.
But just try to comprehend the concept of generations, your shitty-ass engine is ultimately based on the GM / Chevy Small-block engine from, woah dude, 1955.

>being too stupid to appreciate cars for what they are
>can only think in terms of simplified metrics like hp numbers

Americans adhering to the stereotype, as always.

No the LS is a whole new design nothing in common with the sbc

"it's not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle your worm."

Pretty much like trying to argue that having a smaller penis is more fun.

Except a smaller penis doesn't make you better at sex or anything, while a smaller engine making less power but in a lighter vehicle is just as fast and actually goes around corners without slowing down too much.

It's more about lanky soyboys trying to feel masculine by preferring things mass media has told them are manly. V8s are the Veeky Forums equivalent of hipster beards. TV associated them with being a manly man therefore if you have or want one you are a manly man. And anyone who doesn't is a "cuck".

>equates hp with penis size

Jesus Christ, you really don't want to let go of the stereotype, don't you?

No actually it's more like overclocking a PC (when that was still a thing) or optimizing an algorithm to make it run exponentially faster. It is the optimization problem that is the fun challenge. But I give up now. You people are different class of people. A bit too slow to understand. I mean, I'm literally a mathematics professor and you are probably some grunt who changes tires all day long. Why do I even bother?

>fulfills the i am better than you stereotype

I'm american Drag is honestly fun but man there's a better way to do it than the NHRA's rules

In what? A car? Those really aren't good choices.

1.5 with huge cam lobes

NA 2.6 Rotary

>Not everyone is all about putting the most easy power
>determining decisions tantamount to small-scale engineering projects predicated upon vehicle performance with things not defined by logic

Europeans are literally retarded- Hey, you know what's a REAL challenge? Driving while blindfolded! Pfsh, everyone drives while being able to see, go be a trailblazer dude!

>53k
>slower than a Ford Modular

how pathetic

I would rather have the Euro-spec 1.5L Miata than a Fiat 124 de-stroked to 1.2L

1.2 engine with turbo because it will part out for more money

Small engines boosted to the moon have horrific turbo lag which is detrimental to lap times and is retarded in the corners. The 400hp V8 will have a perfectly smooth power and torque band.

I'm murrican, where's the naturally aspirated 2L option?

>what is the gt 350
I think that even ls rev higher than equivalent 6 cylinder engines.

VAG 1.2 TSI was/is a 4 cylinder turbo engine rated up to 110 hp.

Kek

>WAY MORE FUN

According to whome?

>shitty sounding, laggy, turbocharged 4cyls that don't have any low-end response or high-end power are more fun than V8s, I swear!
Yeah, no, you're a fucking idiot. I'd rather have a good naturally aspirated 2.0L that can rev than a toy-sized turbo engine.

>it's more like overclocking a PC (when that was still a thing)

Not an argument. Get better cooling.

1.2 Turbo.

What about it? As long as it's not Ford or GM it's not an issue.

OK here is a 1.2L 4 pot Turbo from a VW Polo.

I'd want 1.2 NA engine

Please come to America and drive a real car. I know you can still be saved.

...

>Muh land barges
>Muh heavy engine
>Muh corners

What if you were to put a BIG engine in a SMOL car? Checkmate mainlanders

>Being forced between a 1.2T or a 1.5 N/A
I choose suicide. An engine smaller than 3L isn't an engine, it's a cry for help.

>lsx
>2000lb

Its probably like 600lb. You bet your retarded ass its impressive "mate"

And then some mad Krauts built one with a HUEG engine

>having a 1.anything

Are we talking about powering a riding mower?

I'm looking at buying a new Civic.
2L naturally aspirated or 1.5L turbo?

Can I just get a Rotrex centrifugal for my Bandit 1200? Have owned an XJ650 in the past, waiting for boost on a motorcycle is usually lame and this very rapidly transitions into scary.

i would go with the 2L NA because i don't like turbo

Literally not a single part from the 1955 SBC will fit on an LSX.

Except the Fiata would still make more power at that point, especially if it's just destroked and you can add revs.

High revving supercharged i4 a best
Turbo if you know how to drive
