depends on the application. DOHC makes more power per displacement, but pushrods are so much smaller. It's easy to fit a pushrod V8 with twice the displacement in the same hole that would normally be occupied by a DOHC V6.
Pic related. GM LS2 6.0L V8 next to a Nissan VQ35DE 3.5L V6

If your application is very space limited, a pushrod engine may be better,

>>15353153
No one uses them in performance bikes because their packaging advantage only comes when you apply it to V engines. Sportsbikes are dominated by inlines. All of this, however, does not apply to automobiles.

Pushrod engines of similar exterior displacement, weight and packaging size can get more internal displacement, and thus more power then an equivalent DOHC unit.

>Ur retarded
2/10

>>15353598
The 5.0 isn't exactly a light engine either.

Any given DOHC V6 weighs about as much as a pushrod V8, assuming similar materials and design goals. Add those turbo's to a built aluminium Windsor, and you'll get a similar weight result, with similar packaging - but 600hp would be peanuts. Ford will struggle to make over 600hp using just under 2 bar of boost. Meanwhile, half a decade ago, Saleen made a car that was almost as light (despite not having Ford's engineering and materials department), and produced more horsepower with less than 0.5 bar of boost.

>>15353758
No, where Multiair takes a cam, turns it into a hydraulic 'signal' and modifies it for either power or efficiency (depending on the ECU), Freevalve does not have any valves at all, it just activates the valves directly using electrohydraulics.

Fiat's system can do 90-95% of what Freevalve does in terms of efficiency, without resorting to extremely new techniques. The only advantage Freevalve has is that it can ahieve extremely high ramp speeds.

>Any given DOHC V6 weighs about as much as a pushrod V8

The 3.5L EcoBoost engine weighs over 70 pounds less than a superchargered LT4 engine and makes more power. Stock VS stock the EcoBoost is better. Sure if you're aiming for 2000 HP the LT4 is definitely the better option but the EcoBoost engine is still lighter. Which means a lower curb weight for a vehicle.
>>
>>15356506
>All that work
>Just 21hp
Heads aren't identical of course - they might flow differently than the stock LS units, and they might add some sompression ratio. Both of these things could easily explain the 21 hp difference.

Meanwhile, you buy a set of decent heads for an LS, and you can easily get 21hp, with the same cam. For the record, a stock LS can also turn 7000RPM, and it'll be quite a lot wider and heavier with those DIY SOHC heads.
>>
>>15351145
Except the track package 350z weighs 3220lbs fag
>>
>>15356507
The stock 3.5 Ecoboost only makes 350hp. A stock LT4 makes 640-650hp.

Keep in mind the Ecoboost needs more ancilliaries in the form of it's turbo piping and intercooling, which take up way more room than the compact supercharged pushrod setup. All this packaging needs room in the chassis - which weighs a hell of a lot more then just the engine. Add the fact that a turbo DOHC V6 is wider and taller, and you'll end up with a heavier chassis, possibly with a higher CoG too, thanks to those heads sticking up high.

A lower curb weight isn't all about a low engine weight. It's also about chassis design, which for a large part revolves around engine and driveline packaging.

Same budget would've gotten you a set of aftermarket heads that would massively outflow the SOHC DIY units.
Same amount of R&D engineering at GM would've resulted in better pushrod heads, and thus more power.

GM actually tried going OHC multivalve for their LS7, and it didn't make significantly more power - not enough to offset the weight and packaging problems. They even tried multivalve pushrod engines, but that was too complicated for too little gain.

>Literally a couple of pounds
Nope. Go weigh them then.

Individual valvetrain components aren't what causes the added mass. They're supposed to be as light as possible to reduce valvetrain inertia. What adds mass is the added head material for bearing a cam and such.

>Belts

pushrods head aren't any better than 2 valve SOHC and are inferior to 4 valve DOHC

thats because GM sucks at everything

>Nope.
yup, several DOHC engines are within 20-30lbs off an LS
the 1UZ weights the same as an ls1, and they have 2 extra camshafts and gears for the cams

LS heads with rockers, valves and springs are 30-ish lbs, a honda b series head, which happens to have DOHC is 45-ish lbs and you still need to add the pushrods, lifters and cam weight to the LS heads

also, no one is discussing if belts are good or not, nice straw grasping

>>15356616
>budget is irrelevant
Budget is always relevant - engineering budget or consumer budget, it always is.

Pushrod OHV heads are lighter and more compact, allowing for a smaller chassis.

>thats because GM sucks at everything
Honda tried multivalve pushrods, made decent power. It's only rally feasible in a V-twin though, and it was only barely better than an OHC cruiser.
And then they were stupid enough to mount it longitudinally. Sigh.

>comapring apples to oranges this much
1UZ isn't even in the same league as an LS in terms of power production (it is a great engineering achievement, I'll give you that). A Bucik 215 is even lighter than a 1UZ, and a lot smaller.

>comparing apples to oranges again
How in the hell is a B series comparable to an LS? Bore spacing on the B series is 90mm, bore spacing on an LS is 4.4'' (~112mm), they''e not even physically comparable.

>1UZ isn't even in the same league as an LS in terms of power production
thats due to the tune and application, a properly tuned UZ can make more than enough power, see GT500 engines, and they breath through restrictor plates

>How in the hell is a B series comparable to an LS? Bore spacing on the B series is 90mm, bore spacing on an LS is 4.4'' (~112mm), they''e not even physically comparable.
they absolute are. being a couple of cm longer is irrelevant considering its just a couple of lbs that would bring the B series head to around 50lbs which is pretty much the same compared to an LS engine head+ the cam, pushrods and lifters

Again?

Both engines, in similar states of tune, can make good amounts of power - but the LS will make more. Despite the UZ being heavier.

>just a couple of lbs
>he doesn't know weight scales exponentially to an object's length
What's even worse is that you could've posted a similad DOHC head (similar bore spacing, port size etc) using a source ITT, but you didn't.

Most of the actually reliable ones use gears or chains. Having a wear item on an interference engine's valvetrain is a bad idea.

> a rifle is better at shooting people from a distance than a stick
>b-but the stick is cheaper so its better
yeah nah, its confirmed that OHC is superior and you are just grasping at straws

DOHC isn't expensive, every major manufacturer has done OHC engines, and again cost is related to economies of scale and supply so its irrelevant

>but the LS will make more
and a OHC LS will make more than a pushrod one, without being considerably heavier as proved with the comparison with a B series head

>the UZ being heavier.
the UZ isn't heavier

>he doesn't know weight scales exponentially to an object's length
nice projection, an increase of 80mm in bore spacing is not going to increase the weight of the heads more than 10lbs, considering the whole head, with valves, cams and spings is 45lbs

> a similad DOHC head
I posted one, the B series head is from a performance engine, just like an aluminium ls3 head

>Having a wear item on an interference engine's valvetrain is a bad idea.
chains are a wear item

it seems like you want to turn this into a circlejerk to avoid the fact that pushrods are inferior to OHC so let me point it out for the last time

>158 hp drivetrain loss
Yes, on a stock transmission. What's your point.

>blown motors
>cherry picking
Okay? This is the same engine that survived 24 hours without a problem. Also, in 2010 it was proven to be reliable when they took a random engine off the assembly line and did multiple torture tests simulating 150k miles.

http://www.full-race.com/articles/what-is-ecoboost.html

This still doesn't disprove my original point that the GT can easily handle 20+ PSI.

Stay delusional, you'll be proven wrong just like when the haters said the GT would never win Lemans.

>>15356698
>le funny reaction images instead of valid arguments

Rifles and sticks do not compare like two engine types.

You're stating something without properly argumenting it.

DOHC is more expensive, and mroe expensive in the aftermarket. Go buy a crate Modular or a crate LS with a similar power output, you'll see a price difference.

A pushrod LS with an aftermarket head will provide a similar boost in power, without the weight and packaging penalty. Comparison with a small B series head is not valid.

Even at the same weight, the 1UZ lacks power compared to the LS, considering similar states of tune.

If you're so sure that the increase in bore spacing won't increase weight by that much, why didn't you post, say, a 928 DOHC V8 head instead? Oh wait, it's becasue DOHC heads that have similar bore spacing are heavier, and by a fiar margin - and that's not getting into the packaging end of it.

Both are performance heads - but they aren't comparable.

Chains are less of a wear item.

Bike engines cannot be clearly compared becasue they use different design goals. You''e comparing supersports engines to aircooled cruisers.

OHC conversions on an LS make more power - but not significantly. All those gains could be had with a cheaper, simpler aftermarket head upgrade, which would not negatively effect the engine width, height, CoG, and weight.
>>
>>15356695
Yeah pretty much hey. I probably should have thought about that since I literally have a RVF.
Keen for 20k RPM then
>>
>>15356713
28% drivetrain loss is pretty significant.
>>
>>15356729
>>
>>15356732
The problem with ever increasing RPM hasn't been the valvetrain for a long time though - it's piston speed. Increasing it more and more results in severe issues, including more parasitic drag, and general unreliability. Want to reduce it by reducing engine stroke? Fine, but you'll lose most of your bottom end torque that is vital to a car's economy.

First source did not specify compression ratio or port volume.
Second source is an invalid comparison, comparing two engine with wildly different applications, cost, and maintenance intervals.

Now you're just using ad hominems.

You cannot convert an OHC to pushrods, because they lack a cam gallery in the middle of the block.

There are V2 and V4 motorcycle engines, yes. There are no pushrod V4 engines however (outside of the LS-derived Motus units), and all V2 pushrod engines are designed for cruisers, mostly by an utterly uncompetetive company (Harley). Therefore, any comparisons between motorcycle engines are invalid.
