Torque 1112@ 6600 RPM
Redline is at 9300

My personal favorite is a tie between my 1.6L 16v 1992 VVT/VVL hot hatch motor... (Not based on any particular engine)

And the 3.2L V8 engine based on it.

Both in 1992 Tech, with no extra quality, and reasonable lifespan, efficiency and production cost/time.

it's all good, but the powerband doesn't look very usable really, you always want to reach max power about 500rpm before the actual redline, wouldn't be enjoyable in real world if you put it that way

I understand all about area under the curve. I wanted to get 200hp out of a production style 1.6 with 1992 tech. It's 125 hp/L naturally aspirated... it was always going to be peaky as hell. I could probably have hit my hp target with a slightly more conservative cam and a little more rpm and gotten a slightly fuller power curve, but I was hitting the point of deteriorating lifespan at 8700 rpm. I could have done it by throwing fuel at the engine, but I wanted a hot hatch motor so I needed to keep the efficiency reasonable, so the AFR is only at ~13.6:1. I could have used race headers and backed off on the cam but I made the motor with a production mindset. And like any production engine, it's full of compromises, but I really wanted a 200 hp 1.6.

As for not being enjoyable, that's debatable. I for one enjoy beating the snot out of an engine.

how do you make screenshots btw?

i managed to do something very similar but with a little better power curve

Here's my version

Mine would be the 3224hp engine i posted in the engine sharing forum, really because I spent more time on that engine than any other trying to wring every last bit of power out of it. Good fun, if a little addictive :p

its probably a V8 I made or maybe the 2002 Saab 95 Hot Aero Estate engine...I cannot be sure...its a hard hard choice for me...

It isn't particularly powerful .. or responsive especially since its 2013 engine. However cheap to make and pretty compact for 3L V8. Which was the goal. Yeah I know it isn't very impressive. However it is my favourite engine. For some reason I had much more fun doing cheap engines like this one than super car engines of doom.

I would say this is my favourite engine... its a nice big reliable, yet powerful 1969 V8 from a rare version of the predecessor of the sportscar, which I have posted an engine of on the engine sharing forum (and nobody has replied ). But here it is
