It's a very general forum but it seems to be comprised of mostly car enthusiasts from various other message boards.

Go do a search for the Buick GN turbo and GNX. Also the Trans Am Turbo. They were out late 80's early 90's IIRC. 3.8L Turbo and they often are seen with extremely high 900+ horsepower numbers.

Just for fun I just run my original post through a spell check and it didn't find any spelling errors. *shrug* Many, MANY people on message boards place their opinion as fact. That is almost the main...

First off i'd like to say that the "276 hp cap" everyone talks about is a myth. It is not law in Japan. It is self imposed by the manufacturers. They all aggreed on it. They have now aggreed to break...

I don't doubt or deni that. They are both capable machines. They are not the be all and end all of automotive performance as many people make them seem like.

I would take a 280 or 300Z, or...

Personally I think they are both equally over-rated.
If I was forced to drive either I would take the skyline since it tends to snow in Canada.

Did you even read my post? Spell chick, grammar check and proper punctuation will help your post come across much more persuasively. Also, removing statements like "OMG I HATE those Mustangs" will...

Some of you make such poor arguments it isn't even worth looking at.

All I am going to say is this: Many of you are being so narrow minded you are invalidating any arguments you may, or may not,...

Some of you amaze me.

A: Upping the compression WILL increase horsepower.
B: It is not somthing you can just "do": It involves changing pistons or heads.
C: Remaping the ECU is a good place to...

There is a company that will import skylines from japan and do the requered modifications to them to make them street legal in the US and Canada, but a new one costs around 90 thousand USD.

It is...

From a north american point of view:
Over here the inline engine is dieing. This is because many people are no longer willing to deal with low torque high winding engines. People are starting to...

Actually I believe F1 cars already use the electomagnetic (or was it hyrdaulic) valve set up. They no longer have cams.

While I'm not sure about the historical development you are asking for, I do know one thing. OHC design is actually older than a cam in block design.

I will say this though, I think it is more...

fastbird, that guy is the main reason I even joined here, I couldn't believe this stupid bullshit he was spewing.

Mere simplicity. A pushrod design is much simpler than any form of OHC. On an DOHC V engine you need four cams, the work involved for timing alone is restrictive.

There is nothing wrong with...

One of the largest problems GM has to face first is the percieved lack in quality. Their interiors are actually good quality, as are the rest of the vehicle, but they are often uninspired and so seem...

Nildo, I was merely pointing out for the benifit of the origonal thread starter that there is more to an engine then high HP/L.
I love turbocharged cars and have nothing against them. However as I...

I wouldn't say so. An s2000 is for people who go out on the weekend and carve up long windy canyon roads. People who don't need the low end power.

Take two cars, make them the same performance...

It will be a great powerplant for the new Miata, but unless they impliment some new design changes, I think the rotary will die once again.

You know, it would also do very well with an electric...

Throw on a full intake.
Add headers and a 2.5" exhaust.
Swap your flywheel for a lighter one.
You'll probably have to swap both of your cam's out for a more aggressive mid/high RPM cam profile.
...

Ok. I'm going to use your logic:

The Mclaren f1 is a piece of shit. They needed a 6.0L engine to produce 650HP. Geeze. F1 cars produce over 700hp out of a mere 3.0L. They should have put one of...

Forced induction or nitrous oxide are the only things that will get you some decent power gains.

A 1.8L will never really maintain drivability and produce high power with out some kind of 'power...

Carbon fiber has been used in bicycle rims for awhile. It is a great material but not really suited for this application. I think it's a pipe dream at best.

You may see it in F1 or IRL racing, but...

The new renesys is better than the old wankle in those area's beacuse they moved the exhaust and intake ports.

Rotary engines do not have valves, in the origonal design both the intake and...
