I've heard them called Japanese muscle cars before. I really like the V6's actually. I think it's a nice medium between 4 cylinders and V8's.

The sr20det is so overrated its stupid..things like "displacement" and "turbos" dont even exist in front of the "jdm tightness".I wish that fast and the furious flick never existed.

Inlines are sweet too. I just like V-series as well.

I agree with alexious, fast and furious should have never been created. it took away the true sports car enthusist and replace it with media and horse power adding stickers. Honestly unless ur car is sponsored and truly stand out... don't even bother with the stickers... that pisses me off the most about these media followers

oh yea ... and yes the sr20det is over rated now. but where else can you find a small displacement high revving, chain timing engine where you don't need internals to make 400hp? that you can put in a rwd car that handles good?

not sure about internals, but ca18det is also a good choice next to the sr20det, also pretty much half price

Re: Engine Choice

V6 engines are more stable at high piston speeds because the two banks of pistons tend to counterbalance each other better than a straight six
you will see very few i-6 motors rev high (RB series being one exception because of its relatively short stroke lowers piston speeds and because it is very well built motor, and the 2jz doesnt rev all that high but it is bulletproof)

most v6 motors dont rev high because they are put into sedans and such so the stroke is elongated to provide the low-end torque

Re: Engine Choice

i know it was a while ago but naruto, you seem to be an idiot if you like the sr over an rb.. let alone a vq or vg..

and basically the only difference b/w the i-6 and v-6 is that the i-6 torque peaks at a lower rpm.. and even if they put out about the same amount of tq and hp, you'll probably get to 60mph quicker with an i-6.. maybe i'm wrong but that seems like common sense to me..

Its funny because now theres the backlash of everyone riding the KAs nuts just to be non-conformist.
