Name some engines that they've tuned. Seriously. I'd like to know.

ryun84 · 09-02-2011, 05:58 PM

Toyota 3S-GE, 3S-GTE.

Random_Art · 09-02-2011, 06:04 PM

2ZZ-GE from the 2000+ Celica, Corolla XRS, Matrix, and Lotus something or other.
The engines out of the 2nd and 3rd Generations Ford Taurus SHO

Here's oil use for Silvia & Skyline (R32~R34)

Subaru STI EJ (turbo) & EZ (NA) oil

Same goes w Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Toyota all other companies. Thus eliminate what cost? Right... try again

Good job acting smart.

His reasoning is wrong, but dealerships don't use that oil.

I thought the 1st gen too? That's what I remember from back then anyways. I could be wrong of course.

I have a vague recollection that Koenigsegg or McLaren or one of the other supercar constructors used a Volvo-sourced twin-turbo V8 that had been massaged by Yamaha.

Anyone heard about that?

They were surprisingly fun to drive! I could never find a clean one though or I would have bought one.

I'm not entirely happy that this car will be NA.

Media seem to be quoting ~7sec 0-60mph. Not bad at all for a 'cheap' car, but not earth shattering either either. The Acura RSX did it in ~6sec for comparison.

The WRX does it in ~5sec, so I'm hopeful we'll get a turbo version in the future.

serialk11r · 09-03-2011, 07:46 PM

Well if you're talking acceleration I think it can't be much behind the RSX, considering both have N/A 2.0L engines with similar power, (hopefully) similar weight. The FT has the RWD advantage though, so it might be even faster.

CyberFormula · 09-03-2011, 08:05 PM

^ RWD has more drivetrain loss than FWD

The only time i'll be happy this car is N/A ...is if they NEVER EVER come out with a forced induction version. If they do....I won't be happy its an N/A
