And why is it a V6 Twin Turbo?
There is none, because different engines do different things. You'd respect a giant-ass ship engine for different things than an S2000's engine.

apples to oranges, lad.
both are fruit but beyond that aren't comparable.
now answer the question
>>14219539
Because no one can compete.
>>14219571
>GT-R
actually not what I had in mind when I posted this, pretty good example of the idea tho.
>>14219570
That's kind of my point, because each engine type has so many different actual models with different variations they may as well all be fruit but that's about the end of the comparison.
feck off gtr weeb
>>14219587
so why do we compare the GT-R to the Vette?
or any car to another car with a different engine size?

>or any car to another car with a different engine size?
I could post about the 1976 or so Mustang's V8 that makes 140hp and say V8s are not respectable. I could also post about the Coyote, LS3, Ariel Atom's V8, etc and say V8s are extremely respectable. That's my point. Just asking which configuration is the msot respectable is kinda pointless.
Any Straight 6 with a turbo strapped to it. You could say the same with a straight 5 too.
>>14219619
>A car to a car
or a car engine to a car engine, what kind of mental gymnastics do you have to do to get to that conclusion?
And out of all of those, only the LS-series is seen in a widespread application of cars.
>>14219627
>5 cylinders
i always forget those
>>14219635
Car to a car also accounts suspension, tires, chassis, gearing, brakes, etc. I don't see what widespread use or not has to do with how "respectable" an engine is.
>>14219627
Straight five a best.
4 rotor
>>14219646
well you have the V6 Twin Turbo and the LS-series.
Both are rather popular, though the LS's popularity mainly stems from it being a crate engine, while the V6 TT has proven it is the example of a "Racecar" engine.
When you see a Miata with an LS-swap, you likely giggle a bit then after a few minutes of thought realize how fucking fun that would be. You respect that car.
When you see a GT-R you meme out and curse Alphonse (may he never find peace) until after a few minutes of thought realize how fucking fun it would be. You respect that car.
Atleast that's the theory.
>Car to a car also accounts suspension, tires, chassis, gearing, brakes, etc. I don't see what widespread use or not has to do with how "respectable" an engine is.
As I clarified in my post, car engine to car engine.
>>14219685
But there are a lot of V6 twin turbos and there's way more to V8s than just LSs.
V12 turbodiesel
>>14219539
>respectable
Respectable how? As in power or endurance?
For me it's an engine that runs without problems that can take long enduring drives.
Some 100hp engines can go way longer than 400hp v6 without breaking down.
>>14219539
Supercharged V6. Because turbo chargers are laggy, fragile little bombs.
>>14220166
Maybe 20 years ago. Turbos are a fantastic choice today.
>>14219539
straight eight
>>14219539
I think you mean inline 6 cunt.
May that be with turbo's, superchargers or extractors and triple webers.
>>14219570
>you can't compare an apple to an orange
Well, you can, for various reasons.
>>14220198
What I should really should have said is the most respectable set up requires side or down draft carbs cause fuck you. that's why.
>>14220202
So, how are the comparable in a way that would validate the theory that a warship engine or a commercial ship engine is comparable to an S2000's, and then which is more respectable in regards to an automotive board focused mainly on things with two and four wheels?
>>14220228
Also note that while S2000 is specific warship/commercial ship is allowed to be ambiguous.
>>14220097
I read this in Joe Pesci's voice
>>14220228
OK, how about the LS3 compared to the F20C?
>>14220243
Go get your shinebox
>>14220246
I would say the LS3 is an engine that is more respectable than the F20C out-of-the-box, but when it comes to upgrading said OOB engine, the F20C holds an edge in regards to reliability and cost of upgrading/maintaining.
However on the converse side, an OOB LS3 engine will still be comparable to the same tuned-up F20C.
How wrong am I?
>>14220251

S2000 has more hp/l

You're wrong on both counts.
TTV6 don't have the exhaust to spool a proper sized turbo.

>>14219650
Literal sex. But if I remember nothing actually came with one stock, they only were in specialty racing models, right?
>>14219539
You're damn right
>TFW when a better exhaust manifold and modernized turbos could have made this a 450+ motor stock with a tune and injectors
>>14220281
I would think an LS3 would be FAR cheaper to mod than an F20. The F20 is so good out of the box. The intake/intake mani, cams, and header are all pretty efficient. You aren't going to get more than ~15 whp unless you go forced induction. The LS3 on the other hand......
I also wouldn't say the LS3 is more expensive to maintain. Neither engine really needs anything major.
I don't know why we're trying to compare an understressed pushrod V8 to a precision engineered DOHC 4 cyl. Each engine is great, but as different as you can get.

I don't know why we're doing that either, but I answered the question off the top of my head, and i'm assuming the person modifying this engine will be a boyracer and put 150k worth of wear in 50k miles.
