Bleh, just drop a SBC in it?

Some of us import guys make fun of your simple codes...LS1, LT1, LT4...wtf? That doesnt say anything! At least Mitsu says how many cyl. and what fuel it uses (aka 4G63, 4 means 4 banger G means Gasoline, not sure what 6 and 3 mean though).

I personally think Nissan and Toyota have the best codes. Once you decipher them, its easy as fuck to read them, remember them, and suddenly know much more about it than just "LS6"...like Toyota...7M-GTE: 7th in the M series of engines, which are all OHC EFI Inline 6ex's, G for performance DOHC, T for turbo, no matter how many turbos it has, which is why its 2JZ-GTE not GTTE, E for EFI as opposed to carbs...

Theres also stuff like 1G-FEu which is the first "G series engine" (2.0 Inline 6 pos), F for economy DOHC head, and lowercase "u" for emissions. Also, "Z" is supercharged (a la 4A-GZE) and S is direct injection IIRC.
