You guys wanna compare dick sizes with interior? Sit in a E46 M3 and stfu. Interior is irrelevant!
4G63 makes insane power insanely easy. Nuff said. Frankly I'm surprised how easily it competes with a V8 power wise...and at the end of the day you can still get a rediculous 27-30mpg if need be.
Also, I'd like to point out the thread of "if you could have anybody's car on here, which would it be"...and Jerry's Mirage was the unanimous winner overall...hmmm..
Oh, and when they make a 4 banger SBC but cutting one in half, then it'll be cool.
err...no, even then it wont..
You know what? Actually being able to get to spark plugs is gay. Spark plug wires, exhaust manifolds, 1 piece 1 head, far lighter design, gay gay gay. Assuming you are talking about pushrod V8s even...what does it take to upgrade the cam? Wow, pulling out the fucking radiator, condensor, fan, and everything else in the way? Damn, if only they made it easier to axcess to upgrade...you know, like on top of the damn head....

286hp at 19psi actually. This is with boost tapering, which is easily fixed by either reflashing the ecu or by adding a simple manual boost controller. Its good for about 25-30hp just doing that, not even raising the boost. It's heavily detuned on the top end from the factory. So, say it wasn't detuned, it would make around 310-315hp.

4G63 wins hands down.
What the hell is all this ranting about the EVO's interior? I've sat in them before as well as WRX/STi's........I really dont see the huge difference. The only reason the interior is brought up because its the one part of the car that isn't excellent. The new Evo IX interior is actually quite nice though IMO

This thread has seriously gone to the shitter.
Back on topic: 4G63 is in my opinion one of the best, but I was thinking about this last night, and some of the Honda single cam engines can take a beating like no others. And they don't mind boost/nitrous and definitely don't mind taking a beating.

So, you're not saying it produces more power than any V6 or V8 our there unless you're on crack. You mean more 'power per cylinder'? Thats the oldest arguement in the book. Every cylinder over 1 you run gives you merginally less gains per additional cylinder. Get how that works? So sure, 4-cyls are more 'efficent' than 8-cyls. A 2-cyl is more efficent than a 4-cyl. Whats your point?
BTW, turbo V8 > turbo I4.
But v8 vs. I4 aside...I'm not very impressed by the Evo's powerplant. It runs like 20 lbs of boost to get what power it makes? I'm sorry but on a turbo car I just think you could do a lot better...

You're right. Jeez, I mean who would want to be stuck with suede lined Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel, and a touchscreen gps Navi head unit?
Sure, who wants plastic when you can have pleather seating, fisher price my-first-car sized interior knobs, and a back seat thats usable for .... oh wait its not.
Yeah, you're right, I shoulda gone pleather
So anyway, I've changed my mind, my Evo is for sale. I'm gonna go buy a new Trans Am ... oh fuck they don't make those anymore. wonder why?
