Amongst the tuning carazy world what engines do you think stand out, and require a :bow:

VG30DETT ahhheemmmmmm

 

RB26

 

Supra Turbo lump

 

Sierra cossie

 

Honda VTEC!!

gotta be the cossie, for everything that its done for motorsport and making high power cars availavble to the masses, pretty stong and easy to mod a tru legend amongst engines,, getting old now but cossies still rock down on the 1/4 mile!!!

RB26 unlimited tuning potential

I thought James was often over looked ;)

Rover/Buick V8

 

Used for donkeys years in various guises.

 

Yes, it's agricultural in comparisson to today's engines, but it's that fact that makes it easy to build/work on. It's been around so long that the tuning possibilities are virtually endless from quadruple twin downdraft DellOrts to Supercharging....

 

...Oh, and that noise!

 

So in summation:

 

They are readily available

Cheap to buy and modify

Virtually bullet proof

Wonderful V8 rumble

All Alloy construction so lightweight (relatively).

 

Gets my vote anyday. :D

Mmmmm, mine gotta be:

 

Our beloved DETT

 

Supra TT Mk4 lump, cus its super bullet proof!

2.0 XE Vaux/Cos engine, them things have some go and are strong as!!! Put TBs on it :D :D :D (i spent a good few years messing with these)

Ca18det ?
