I'd go with chevy 572 crate motor, than again that might be a tad much. If I could have any motor, it would be a tuned twin turbo straight six from a supra!!!
I think it's on par with the 3S-GTE... both had identical specs from the factory, and nearly identical performance potential in the hands of tuners. It would pretty much come down to brand loyalty, really.
well if we are dreaming... bugatti veyron engine would be nice.... but seriously... prob an EVO engine and AWD... but the cost in doing that i might as well buy an evo
Hey buddy... Know what the world engine is? Guess whats in the caliber and your SX?
The caliber srt4 has forged internals and turbo parts a plenty. The op asked what i would put, not what you wouldn't.
I personally know 11 people with 9 second srt4's. With the 2.4.
Lol I had 2 buddies that had cobalt ss turbo (Both blew), buddy with hhr ss... NOTHING but problems... Couple buddies with srt4's .... NOTHING but problems... I never seem more problems with an engine in my life.... EPIC FAIL on chevys!!! DEFF one engine I WOULD NEVER swap into my forplay
Id love to see a K20 from new si in forte... Since this is the "si wnna b" imagine pulling up to a si on light and him hearing forte rip vtec as he sees a honda sign dangling from ur back bumper after u rape on him haha
This thread makes me laugh...you guys/gal ever read "cars" magazine (rather old I guess). They had an article once about car-nuts always talking about putting the biggest engine in small cars to be the most powerful and ended up saying that car-nuts would never be satisfied until they build a car so powerful that the instant you put your foot to the floor the "G" forces would kill you...in the article it described a dragrace driver named Slammin Sammy Miller that had a Vega with a hydrogen-peroxide rocket engine...when he hit the rocket he would black-out, so his car had only enough fuel to get to 300MPH and the drag chute would automatically pop when the car decelerated. That's nuts!!!
^ thats why I picked realistic engines, like the Optima GDI(T), cause it would be an improvement but STILL a reliable DD. Who wants to drive around a car thats only made for the track 'cause it puts out 500+whp. Track your DD, it's alot more fun!
^^^
LOL yeah sometimes if you build them too much they become a bit problamatic, but a stock 4g I got over two hurdred thousand out of it of course with the turbo it normally needs valve seals replace atleast 2 times durring that period of driving.
But I hear what your saying
