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...")

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

i dunno about stock, but 300+kw isn't unheard of out of those little renault turbo motors like in R5s
