Hello All

 

Well, i was thinking - What is the MOST POWERFULL 4 Cyl engine ever released in a street legal car?

 

(Teddy can see the 4Kc getting upset outside :| "there there little 4K...")

 

:)

I think BMW built a factory motor making over 1200hp. That was 12cyl tho...

 

Unsure about 4cyl...wouldnt imagine much more than 200kw factory

Sorry to Give more info - i ment to say

 

The most powerful Stock 4 Cyl Carbie motor!

oh geez...make it impossible for us

 

I wouldnt think it was much over 150hp (was because they don't use that pile of trash they call a "carby" anymore)

i like carbies !! - dad and mum recon i should of been born in the mid 60's - ... computers are good - but in cars, I'm for cogs and belts, not chips and speed limiters...

 

Geez, its getting to a point now in time, where they can liturally program when the car is to break - Eg. Hyunidi - 5 yr waranty - I BET the day after that, the car just spontanoualy combusts lol

 

Just shows that the good old rollas just keep on going - in style :|

FJ24's were twin carbed, and were used in the Nissan S11 Silvias. Of course, they also happen to be quite rare, built in limited numbers for homolagation. Iiirc they were somewhere over the 220hp mark.

 

I'm sure theres plenty others....

 

oops, didn't realize I was performing thread necromancy
