I would definitely have to say 4g63t. That motor is just rediculous.

And for me, coming in at a close second would have to be the SR20DET. How many other motors can you bounce off the rev limiter with barely any modification and it be totally cool with it?

so from what I take from this poll is that the Mitsu motor is the best 4 cyl, but its too bad that everything attached to it is garbage, IE the computer that fries every 10k miles.

Mitsu reliability pwns you.

4G64/4G63 Is the only I4 for me.... If I decided not to build a 4g63 I wouldn'd build a I4 at all. I would go straight to the 2jz or V8.

pretty much.....btw, is that your white Trans Am i see on US19 in tarpon all the time?!

btw, about the SR being able to bounce off rev limiter, i've seen a few of them chuck valvetrain parts like madman in stock form after being bounced off the rev limiter too many times, so that is pretty much a crapshoot

Rocker arm stoppers, or solid lash conversion and of course a basic maintenance and you should be good. Not saying that 100% stock will yield high horsepower, mad tight driftability. Just that when done right, with very few carefully selected modifications, it can be done.

ya...ya failed to mention the fact you had to modify the top end to do that in the first post

FWIW...i took my last 4G63 7 bolt 2G car to 8300 all day with stock everything and 120k miles and it would laugh at me and ask for more :0
