the most powerful and stable N/A motor and a forced inducted motor, which motor would you go with, and what components would you use? This is just a random question that I would like to hear peoples' opinions on (people with more knowledge than me).

Let's say money is no object and these are going to be your dream motors- doesn't have to mean the car will still be streetable. To stop people from just going with a BMW v12 or something, the displacement limit will be set at 4 liters.

Stupid to limit it to 4.0L displacement. You just excluded any Amercian V8, many of which can produce outstanding numbers.

I *was* going to say the LS-series engines for both, but that damn displacement limit...

Honda RA109E 72° V10 (675hp at 13000 rpm), for N/A.

BMW M13 for turbo, with about 900hp.

No one said you couldn't use F1 engines... :fullofwin:

I said, "stable" . jking. tell me more about some of the V8s than please, I've heard good things about the Ls1 engine, but I have no idea about American.

i put the displacement limit because to me, it's more impressive seeing 1000 or more horses squeezed out of something less than 4 liters, than a 12 liter beast, but that's just me.

btw, you guys have only mentioned the force inducted ones, how about the N/As?

It is also typically less reliable.

Anyways hands down a 911 motor ie. GT3RS for an N/A 3.8L 450hp, track proven

Even the basic 3.8 in the 997.2 carrera S is an awesome motor that has just under 400hp. Decent on gas and daily drivable, good starting point for a build I guess

Oh more RB love than I thought!

If I wanted to build a motor, yes, RB, but I'd go to Mine's. Gotta love response and pickup instead of outright power.

Buy a motor... BMW P83? 19,000RPM 900+hp.

Kaase P-51 502 cubic inch V8. 800 HP, 740 lb/ft. Fully assembled and dyno tested for $14,900 US. Oh, and it's NA to boot.

Kaase P-51 (http://www.jonkaaseracingengines.com/component/content/article/211-520-ci-kaase-p-51-engine.html)

I'd love to see any Skyline or Supra get 800HP for only $15K and be anywhere near as reliable.

And this is only one engine I picked. If you google for Chevy, Ford or Mopar racing engines there are literally dozens of companies and hundreds of different engine combinations to choose from.

Why settle for a piddly little 502 (8L)making only 800 horse, when you can get an 820 (13.4L) making 1800+ ? :p

Building a rock solid 800hp 2jz is quite simple and it can be done for $15k or less, although it would need meth injection for around 25psi. Stock Bottom end... $1500, Upgraded Head.... $4000 or (fully built Longblock... $8000), 67mm< turbo setup.... $5000, Engine management... $2000
And then if you want put in some race gas and go for 1000hp. I wonder if that 800hp 520ci is a pumpgas engine.

^ I'm sorry, but that's a pretty weak list. In my experience the cost to put together an engine is significantly more than just the cost of the parts/kits by themselves.

- Does that price include the injectors?
- Does it include an intercooler? All the necessary tubing/fittings for the intercooler? Labour to install the intercooler?
- You mentioned a meth kit. How much extra is that kit? And how much labour is required to install it? And does it require any additional setup/tuning, or does it just "work" once you turn it on?
- Does that include dyno time to tune the engine? Or is the engine management ready to go and only needs to be plugged in and turned on?
- Does that include labour to put the engine together? What about gaskets, seals and all the other little things you'll use when assembling the engine?

Perhaps a better question would be this:

If I came to you with a stock Supra and $15K (before taxes) am I going to leave with a fully built Supra engine (meaning everything from the crank to rods/pistons to valvetrain is 100% brand new) that's been fully-assembled and dyno-proven to produce 800HP and can be dropped into my car without requiring any additional components?

check out their other engines aswell. fuken ridiculous

imo. V8s are the best sounding engines

The displacement limit should be revised. Presumably, you don't want a gigantic, heavy motor.

I'd bet that a LSx series motor is not substantially heavier, or larger, than the 4.0 in the M3. The "old" pushrod technology that's so maligned among import enthusiasts also allows for a very compact design. They don't need to compete on specific output alone.

I'd also go NA. More than enough power for me.

Yeah I know what your saying. I'm a sucker for a big block too, I'm not just an import guy;). But you were only talking about the engine alone. There would be a lot of work that needs to be done to put that 520 in as well. Headers, Radiator, cooling fans, fuel system, modified mounts/crossmember depending on the car, then add labour for all that plus re/re.

Actually we've done a build like that on a stock 2jz before for under $15000 installed.
These figures are close because customer supplied some parts, but comparable to other kits

Single Turbo kit including piping and intercooler.... $6000
Fuel system upgrades.... $1200
Cams.... $1000
Engine Management...... $2000
Meth Kit..... $450
Installed and Tuned ...... $4000

Thats $14650.
Car made 590rwhp on our dyno which is around 785hp at the crank and is driven daily. I doubt the Kasse Engine would be a comfortable daily driver.
