Fast and Little 4Bangers

[twiky]

I would like to know which 4 banger makes the best Tuner... I like Hondas becuase they seem to rev high.

Integra GSR

hondas are good. dsm. 240s. some of the newer cars like mazdaspeed. evo. sti. s2k. there are alot. Depends how much money you want to put into it and what your goals are. Personally right now I wouldnt mind having either an S2k or at the least a new civic.

Audi's 1.8 turbo has a huge aftermarket and can be made to go fast.

That's it lol

the Audi 1.8 turbo can make over 750bhp. my friends had one they used for testing and it made 754bhp on an engine dyno.

Nice!
I have seen a 500HP VW Flate-4, the own said othe then keeping the wheels on the ground, it was in the shop every other week...
Does that remind of any other car maker?

If you can find a celica with a 3sgte engine in it (alltracs for the u.s.) it is one of the best 4 cyls, as well as chevys ecotec (cobalt ss). Theres been lots of good choices mentioned before me as well.

after testing it, my mate put that 1.8T (it was stroked to 2 litres) into a Mk.IV Golf 4Motion, we ran it a few times with the driveshaft removed and it had insane torque steer, it was putting down 530lb/ft or something (variable-vane turbo) and spun the fronts like mad on hot dry tarmac, wet tarmac was another story.

it was too scary to drive in fwd only, the torque steer was too much to be able to keep it in a straight line.

VW flats can make decent power, even though they're small (1300cc i think) that high number is mostly because the internals have very low weight, so the engines can rev high and that makes more power. still, they can run a built drag beetle to 60 in under 3 seconds.

Does that engine replace the T10 racing engine that toyota use to make back in the 80's ?

3SGTEs are excellent engines, and they make good torque too, especially when stroked. and they're strong, they last forever if you treat them right and do the required work. another good engine is the SR20DET, they're also good for upto and above 750bhp. (sometimes even at the wheels)

Evo engines, 4G63s, can make a lot, some upto 1,000bhp when done right, they're really responsive and are great for the bends because they pick up so fast, and they just pull the car effortlessly.

Im guessing you ment the talon tsi which uses the 4g63. Probably 1 of the strongest 4 cylinder engine blocks ever made.
