AE86 SR20DET - Walaki

[NoHachi]

LOL , Ok, I'll bite, but don't think I'm taking this seriously and get all butt hurt OK?

Quote:Less power=More flooring it and rear wheels going around more consistantly than you would with more power,

Correct, if your goal is getting the wheels going round most consistently. Best bet is zero hp and complete standstill.

Quote:or do you think perhaps 800HP cars should be minimum bare legal for beginner drivers? Right.. You mad today or what?

You calling our Walaki a beginner driver now? That's not nice of you .

There's a name for that style of reasoning, its called reductio ad absurdum. And it doesn't make much sense or have any practical applications. But I am having a very pleasant day today actually, thank you

Quote:Of course tossing a engine whose internals you havent even inspected into a car that you`re gna do some hard driving with does provide risks of you ending up with a dock mooring?

Lovely bit of insight that holds true for everything but buying a brand new car or crate engine. What's your point?

Quote:the rules of the game is efficiency, simplicity, function and consistency so hopefully we can at least agree to that

And your advice at achieving that being a fully custom, tuned to the hilt 1.6ltr engine revving to the moon on cobbled together parts. Great thinking there Sherlock. ;-)

Quote:Power and light weight `s teh shiz, if its so much about powerhouse and costs hopefully someone mentioned 1UZ-FE?
Weighs less than SR20DET, around same as F20C, hella cheaper than both and hella more torque (And sounds sick)

People posessing the power of google (usually stinking youths of the videogame generation ;-) ) always collect the 1uzfe weight from the same list.
Think about it logically.
Alloy block (same as SR/F20)
Twice the amount of rods
Twice the amount of cams
Twice the amount of pistons
Twice the amount of valves

Think about where they can save weight. Every part has to be half the weight of the 4 cyl stuff to get things even. Its just not going to happen. I count on the fully dressed 1UZ-FE being another 20-30kg's more then the F20C or SR20DET.

They do sound awesome though.


Now remember to read all of this with a very big ;-)
