Best 4-Cylinder Engine Ever (Poll)
Thought this would make for an interesting debate. I'm looking for opinions on what the best 4-cylinder motor of all time is. Keep in mind availability, versatility, hp/l, power potential, torque curve, sturdiness, history, etc.
In defense of the Chevy motor, according to the Ariel Atom's build specs, the Ecotec has proven to have a vastly superior torque curve compared to the K20, which is why they started using that motor for their Atom instead.
Also, the 4G63 may include all generations (4, 6, 7 bolt, etc.)
If anyone has any other additions, I'll be glad to add them in if I think they're worthy. I know the H22 and B16 aren't included, as neither was as race-designed as the other Honda motors included.

90-92 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon/Plymouth Laser pre May 6 bolt 4g63 and 4g63t motor. More towards the 4g63t motor which produces more power of course then the N/A. I've owned both. The 6 bolt 4g63 lasted around 230,000+ miles and 4g63t 201,000 miles. Thats my experience with them. So they are stronge engines and can take a vast amount of abuse.

No love for the Ford 4cyl? They race the hell out of those old Pinto motors in the midgets. Then you can add the turbo 4cyl in the Cossies. Or the 2.5 in the new Focus..... The world isn't F&F you know.

Im a big fan of the Toyota 3TC engine. Its a 1.8L OHV 4-cyl. Seen them make shitloads of power and good torque. But I can tpick which one is the best.

well, since the F20 has the most HP/L of any N/A factory motor, and its in one of the best factory chassis that gets my vote, swap-ability is kinda subjective as you can swap anything, but not like a direct bolt-in, thats what i assume your talking about. type-Ris #3 world record holder for hp/l but i think the L15 from the fit should be mention simply because of the technology of it, and if it were bigger, i think would be a very respectable engine
