The Best 4 Cylinder Engines Ever Made!

[WildKarrde]

I don't even care, to be honest, lol. My dream car is an E30 M3... without the S14.

I'm not saying they don't have their place in the automotive world, and some are truly great pieces of equipment... I just don't really want one.

That said, if I absolutely had to have one, I'd want the 2007 WRX STI. That car used to really tug my heart strings... but by the time I could afford one it was too late. And now I can't afford one again, lol.

I also really liked the Evo VIII and IX.

Since everybody blows his own horn, here's my entry in this concours d'puissance .



Classic FIAT Twin-Cam also known as Lampredi DOHC. Made between 1966 and 2000, ranging from 1,3 65 hp in 131 Mirafiori to turbocharged 2,0 215 hp used in Delta Integrale Evoluzione II. Reliable and fairly easy to tune. Widely and successfully applied in motorsport: in Fiat 131 Abarth - n/a 2.0 215 hp, Lancia Rally 037 - supercharged 2,1 325 hp and Lancia Delta S4 - twincharged 1,8 350 hp (or unrestricted, 5 bar boost, with up to 1000 hp). It's also worth to mention the Lancia ECV prototype which sported 'triflux' head with unusual port layout - one exhaust manifold on each side and intake manifold in the middle, a bit like in vee-engines - giving the bi-turbo 1,8 engine a power output of over 600 hp.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo engines. Nuffin' more to say.

C20XE, used in Opel Vectra and Calibra.

Another vote for Sr20, other engines may be stronger or more high tech (4g63/Vtec yo) but nothing is as widely used in engine conversions to make Bulk horsepower with response for such a low cost. Truly a Legendary engine such as 4g63 and KA20 but more of the every day champion... Using the VE head it also has Massive Power potential well over 500hp+.

I vote for Honda F20C.
The engine from the Honda S2000.
2.0L I4, no turbo, 240hp, 148kg - beat that!



With Turbo and mod's you can get 700hp out of it.

The S2000 is about the only Honda I really want.

What if I wanted more mid-range torque?
Anywhoo...

A V4 that's somewhere up there with the Hayabusa and the ZX-14R. 3,000 RPM, this thing starts pulling. 5,000, it's wanting to cause problems. 6,200... Hoo boy! HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE!

The Toyota 4age 1.6i 20valve



Toyota designed the engine for performance The 4A-GE produced 112 hp (84 kW) at 6,600 rpm and 131 N·m (97 lb·ft) of torque at 4,800 rpm but can be made to produce over 500hp+ engines are very popular with racers and tuners because of their availability, ease of modification, simple design, and lightness. It was extremely light and strong for a production engine using an all-iron block, also available as 16Valve

Toyota 3sge 2.0i 16Valve



Found no the RS200 GROUP B rally car with 330Kw this engine is all iron and very reliable

[diqtucs]

Mazda FE-DOHC 2.0I 16valve



This robust engine design is a favourite of tuners who are aware of its capability because it already has a high-power capacity perfect for custom turbo jobs. As much as 600 whp on stock form
