If your car has fewer than 8 cylinders, just buy an EV at that point.

99% of modern Euro V8's displace less than the GM 4.3 V6. I'm 6'1 and still consider myself a manlet.

Then what amount of displacement should you just transition to EV? 4.2 liter? We have to be inclusive to the euro v8s.

Anything less than 5.3 liters and you might as well just transition.

I had fun blowing up Theta II GDI turbo 2.0 engines. They're good for about 40k with a stage 2 tune. There was a place in the tuning map where there weren't any nannies and the car would fly, you had to use ECO mode and ease into the throttle to keep it from downshifting and then it would give you maximum boost.
After engine #3 warranty replacement it got old so I traded it.
I still have the tuner wish I knew someone to give it to.

i’ve deleted lots of emissions related bullshit, the car definitely looks more modified from underneath but on the outside i made it look like a plain jane NA impreza.

anything true 500whp and up on this platform is fast, on ethanol i’m probably at about 440-450whp but it’s never seen a dyno. open source street tuning all the way.

I respect the dedication to make it look stock on the outside, but is it really still an impreza? When does it go from a regular model with mods to just using that models chasis/body?

i mean technically?
i daily drove it at this spec for like 8 months before fixing up my daily (picrel) and it wasn’t too bad. i mean solid engine mounts, poly bushings, stiff clutch etc. makes for lots of NVH but i really don’t mind that. i just got tired of putting miles on an engine that cost more than what i bought the car for.

the car is my track weapon now, i fire it up once a week to let it warm up and that’s it.

>>
>>27829955
Measuring HP/L is a retarded metric only used by people trying to compensate for being slow. It's a balanced big block putting out enough power to the tire on pump gas that most people would kill themselves trying to drive it. We've been spinning it to redline for years without any issues, yes, it'll easily make more power, but I have no desire to run the risk of breaking parts since this thing is driven a lot. Redline alone is set 600rpm under what it's built for, throw 6 degrees of timing at it and some 110 octane and it's in the low 900's at the tire.
>>
>>27830366
HP/l is actually the most important metric for an engine because it is a comparable measure of volumetric efficiency

HP and TQ by themselves can be misleading, HP/L or TQ/L factually proves a given engines superiority over another.
>>
>>27830388
There's far more to an engine than strictly horsepower and torque and you'd know that if you weren't just a bench racer. Power over the useable RPM range is almost one of the most important factors depending on the use case of an engine, it doesn't matter if you make 800 horse if it's only at the top end or you carry no power in the low end to get up and moving.
>>
>>27830388
power/weight is more important. Who cares how efficient your engine is if it's an absolute boat anchor? It's the weight of the engine relative to how much power it makes that's relevant.
>>

>some tuner bolt ons

false. my engine makes 200hp/L and is very inefficient compared to other 4 cylinders, especially inline 4s compared to my boxer.
>>
>>27830419
>worth less

the only reason i’m getting rid of this car is if it gets totaled, in which case i’m buying another shell and swapping everything over. it’s a modified car that i race, not a financial investment. get real.

VIN says impreza, it’s an impreza. car gaps vettes, maros, GTRs and GT3s on track, that’s what matters to me.

>>
>>27830421
see this is whats wrong with you wrenchlet retards, you hear "efficient" and you think "fuel economy" when instead they FE and VE are two different measures of how easily the machine can do its given work.

it's VOLUMETRIC EFFIENCY not fuel efficiency that were talking about here, VE literally indicates that the combustion chamber of a given engine seals better and makes more power per ounce of fuel. because drag increase with the square of the speed you need a lot of fuel to maintain high speeds anyway, an engine that makes 200hp/l is not very fuel efficient but it is extremely volumetrically efficient and is better at its job (going fast) than something that is technically more fuel efficient like the drivetrain from a prius, which is designed to be extremely fuel efficient in a small low speed window and rapidly loses efficiency beyond that.

hp/l says that a given engine makes more power per unit of combustible fuel/air mix which correlates directly with that engine's performance characteristics. engine that make similar power per liter perform similarly because they all rely on the same basic principles of operation and are constrained at the top end by the laws of physics.
>>
>>27832462
we've already explained to you that the overall weight of the engine compared to the HP it makes is the only meaningful metric.
>>
>>27832458
and you suck your own dick, then everyone will be happy right?
>>
>>27832462
nowhere in my reply was i talking about fuel economy you fuckhead. the SAME setup i have on my engine applied to an even SMALLER displacement inline 4 will make MORE power. what about that is hard for you to wrap your empty fucking skull around?

my 86 fc with unknown km on body and engine (buddy bought it off some crackhead 7-8 years ago, speedo doesnt work) still has not blown up by the grace of god.

Got it for $1000, figured it would blow in a year or two
