Don't apologize to anyone for liking Initial D. Most people who bash the show are either just completely anti-anime or blame Initial D for ruining the AE86 or whatever (when its really just them hating a younger crowd getting into the car, because of an anime). The anime was created by a long-time drift/AE86 named Shuichi Shigeno, and was supervised by Tsuchiya himself. Even if you don't like anime, the show itself is rooted deeply by AE86 and drift fans.

ANYYYWHO, it was a 20valve variant (err, silvertop I guess) 4A-GE used in the Group A race cars in Japan. Don't even think about trying to get that engine. The fact that Takumi had it in his car is extremely laughable to begin with.
