would the 2jz be better as a 3,5 liter I7?
Yes and even better as a 4 litre straight 8
>>27596270>>27596278Unfortunately not , do you know why no one does inline-12 for example ?In a production automobile, an inline 12 is a sketchy proposition. The crankshaft, which must be roughly twice as long as its V12 counterpart, wants to wind and unwind like a big rubber band, producing tremendous torsional vibrations, and bow and whip in the middle like a jump rope. To counter these forces, the crank must be extremely stiff and heavy, while the cylinder block must be extremely robust as well to contain all these unwanted motions, and also to withstand all the twisting and bending forces of the chassis. It’s not the most attractive or efficient package, to say the least.
>>27596739It could be argued that putting two identical inline-sixes back-to-back and taking power off a central flywheel could create a working inline-12 with minimal crankshaft torsional flex an a redline higher than 3000
>>27596747Or putting 2 inline 6s side by side tilted at a 60-180° angle and sharing a common crankshaft would allow for better packaging
