do v8 engines last longer than 4 cylinder engines?
Straight six will outlive both combined. The most indestructible engine configuration.
>>28804192
>>28804203
>>28804192Unironically 1994 lancers 1.6 will outlast all
depends on the v8
>>28804223And yet
>>28804224And yet
>>28804241Literally my 351C, knockin on heavens door
>>28804241Just change the rod bearings kek fuckin tinywrench
>>28804241thisShort lived is Top Fuel, where the V8 engine lasts roughly 8 secs total under load with the trade off being a single Top Fuel race has 4k more HP then a whole F1 starting grid.Formula 1 V8 engines (used until 2013) and current V6 hybrids are built for extreme performance, not typical road longevity, with regulations demanding they last several races (around 1500-3000 miles total for a V6 hybrid), but they're often rebuilt or replaced after just one or two race weekends due to intense stress
>>28804261or you could buy a car with an engine that doesn't shred itself to pieces well before it hits 100k
>>28804262v6lets are a dealbreaker like touchscreens in cars and gay eps>>28804263What are some comparable cars to the LCI E90 M3 Competition would you recommend like that?
>>28804203Blessed i6
>>28804192Nothing to do with engine configuration and everything to do with how much stress the engine is put through.
>>28804267As a daily? I wouldn't want a comparable car. I'd want something cheaper, that's engaging to drive on the street, and that will run forever with basic maintenance.If I had to choose a V8 with some power I'd probably go for something with an LS or Coyote. Shit I'd take an LS7 over an S65. At least ported heads are a known, permanent fix for it's flaws.If I was chasing performance I'd set about building a tube chassis race car with proper multi-link suspension and everything, probably still throw an LS in it. If you want something that truly meets your needs the only option is to do it yourself. Not that I'd expect a consumerist, badge-obsessed brandwhore like yourself to understand.
>>28804192>do v8 engines last longer than 4 cylinder engines?Depends on tuning. An understressed engine will last practically forever compared to one that's always pushed to its limits.
What is up with the euro eurofaggot posting in this thread, lmao. Just because they’re incapable of making a reliable V8 and that only their diesel I4s can last to 100K does not mean V8s are inherently unreliable. The configuration has little to no impact on reliability.
>>28804398if all other things are equal, a turbo I4 is going to generally work harder than an NA V8 to move the same mass, particularly if it’s a pickup truck where the user may tow or haul regularly. so in that application, there would be concerns about longevity. >>28804192but yea casting a wide net it’s going to depend on a lot of factors. an iron duke I4 will outlive most V8s, for example, but it’s extremely underpowered

>>28804267>>28804273>>28804203A GM 3800 V6 will run with a blown head gasket longer than a BMW straight 6 will run at all.V6s were designed to solve the inherent failures of a straight 6 configuration, specifically the long crankshaft of an i6 can actually whip under load which is why you need to replace the bottom end bearings in a BMW every 70k, and the long thin block of an i6 needs to be thick, heavy, and over built to withstand the torsional stresses V type engines endure, which is why Jap i6s are so well regarded, yet still inferior to the Vs.
>>28804203>Straight six will outlive both combined. The most indestructible engine configuration.nah, head is too long so it's prone to blowing gaskets and overheating
>>28804398X2There's excellent and awful examples of every single engine configuration. The internal combustion engine is not a new technology. You can make any of them good.I'm a biased American who drives a V8 so I'm going to go with that simply because in recent years they've been overstressing these inline fours to meet fuel economy and Emissions regulations, but it's generally difficult to overstress a v8.
>>28804427Based Alpina enjoyer
>>28804410yet all the longest lived cars use i4s and i5s, both turbo'd and NA. really makes you think
Nothing outlives the glorious Vulcan 3L.
>>28804192I've seen Chevy Express V8's make it to over 300k miles with just less than a handful of oil changes. That's also with tens of thousands of idle hours. Sure a lot of cars can do the same with their 4bangers but those engines aren't seeing anywhere near the abuse a fleet engine sees. The stressed engine that lasts is the superior engine. >>28805091So why are these non-existent in modern traffic? You Ford 300, GM 3800 and Jeep i6 retards all have the same retarded train of thought. You can't say something is unkillable when it's practically extinct.
>>28804434>every single gm every
>>28805107>So why are these non-existent in modern traffic?The cars were disposable so they got crushed, chopped, and shipped to China to be turned into a future industrial accident.
>>28805107>why are these non-existent in modern trafficPeople eventually crashed, got rid of the car for other reasons or they managed to do it in from negligence. The only Achilles heel to the engine is the cam synchronizer which also drives the oil pump. But you also have plenty of warning before it breaks. Ask me how I know.t. 3l ranger owner. Currently 207k miles. Not much, but it doesn't tick or anything so that's good. I even ran it without water for a bit and made it home.
>>28805200>>28805233You would think if the cars these came in were so disposable people would have pulled the engines to swap into things. Yet when was the last time you heard of somebody 3800 or 3.0 swapping something?
>>28805087That's a pretty vague and seemingly false premise. I'm sure you don't have any factual claim to cite.
I'm am pretty sure the 2.0l Duratec will put more miles on than even the Ford 300 or other V8s.
>>28805237Because the 3.0 doesn't make any power to make it worth doing. It is comically slow. But we aren't talking about power, just longevity. Which is where the vulcan does shine.
>>28805107>>28805237>why does anything age out of usePeople want newer things, that's a seemingly pretty stupid question. You can still find Rangers, Tauri and W-bodies all day on marketplace though.
>>28805282Rangers are getting hard to find. I haven't seen a non-new gen Taurus in probably 20 years. W-bodies all hit the junkyard decades ago. Now here's the thing. I still see plenty of GMT400's and an ungodly amount of GMT800's that are still being daily driven and worked hard. Why do you think you get to compare these shitpiles to these actually great engines?
>>28804434chrysler's leaning tower of power
>>28804330LOL how am I a consumerist brandwhore for recommending a 15 year old car?gm interiors are too shitty to dailyAn E39, E90, W124, W126, R129, W140, and W201 would all make better dailies than any ford or chevy>>28804434v6lets are a dealbreaker like touchscreens and gay eps
>>28804192Depends on the engine and how hyper technical it is, if it's a big stupid low revving 4 cylinder with no turbo, probably will outlast the universe.
>>28804434>>28804436Is vr6 the answer then?>as short as a v6>1 head, like an inline 6>more compact than eitherOr maybe even better... vr8
>>28804192Depends on what the block and heads are made from, if it's cast steel then they'll outlive the damn chassis but if they're aluminum prepare to toss the heads if you even get near overheating temperatures
>>28804434>need to replace the bottom end bearings in a BMW every 70k,Only have to do it once, and that's only on the ///M engines>>28805383Nope, STRAIGHT SIX (6) is still the best engine configuration, followed by V8 and V12
>>28804203but what about Gay six?
>>28805426>you have to replace the bearings on M engines>this is a good thing actually because it lets you pretend to be BMWs failed F1 team
>>28805341I still see shit powered by the Chrysler 2.8 LH on a daily basis tbqhbmw nigger is right though most people get rid of gm shit long before real mechanical trouble because the interiors are so bad, not just to look at but in build quality too. Also there is the "GM smell" which is the counterpoint to the smell of fresh dollar bills and instantly reminds all Americans of trailer parks and food stamps.
keek
