Re: Greatest Automotive engines ever made?

One of the greatest engines is my opinion is the Honda B18C6 engine in the Honda Integra Type R.
With only 1.8l displacement it pushes out 190hp (naturally aspirated) at 7900rpm. With the light Integra it's a very impressive package.

Not only that's a very powerful engine, it's also very reliable. I sold it with 245000km and it's still running fine...

Its a great motor but for a long time it wasn't to powerful. The NPI 2v versions were reliable but dogs. Now that Ford has a Coyote and Trinity sub varants they are pretty damn good.

Re: Greatest Automotive engines ever made?

In my opinion the best engine ever made was either the Toyota 1MZ-FE for its silky smoothness despite it being a V6 (it also sounds amazing), or Samuel Brown's Gas Vacuum Engine, for without it the internal combustion engine may not have been invented in the first place. I would post pictures but I don't know how to.

Re: Greatest Automotive engines ever made?

I never said it was exciting. Check the sidebar and you will see that I have firsthand experience with the engine. Plus the engine often is swapped into MR2s and the occasional Elise, and those are pretty exciting cars. Also, an engine is an engine regardless of what car it is put in. The 2JZ may have developed a similar reputation if it was used in the Camry.
