Primarily. Few s2k guys have swapped over, currently one in a miata in the USA too.

Not really an ultimate engine but since owning the rs clio I always wonder how nice jusf have a stock F4R from a 200 in a NA.
200hp with loads of low end and a 7500 rev cut.

Not so much an Ultimate Engine but something that would be interesting and a lot of fun...

The Engine from the Suzuki C2 Concept Car back in the late 90's.

1600cc twin turbo v8 making 250hp? lol

what a waste of time
you'd think that maybe it had a huge redline but it's 7000rpm.

A guy on another forum is eventually going to build up his 2.7L alloy v6 from a suzuki vitara for one of his cars.
computer simulations show over 300hp and 8500rpm redline.
Would be intradasting.

ha! bp that revs to 9k is now our equivalent of 'chipped 330d' on pistonheads

Really?
What makes you say that.

A fully forged turbo BP engine is all an MX-5 could ever need!

That or an all motor 13B/20B/26B... >.<

20b 26b is just to much i reckon ...

Then there's the 2.0 4 pot out of the new Mercedes A45 A-Class, 265kW/450Nm, which must make it a pretty scary inner city shopping car. Power output per litre is second only to Maclaren in production cars. Slight problem with availability since there's a 9 month queue to even buy the car in Oz now.

i went and checked one out the other day and its a 12 month wait now.

it looks mean in person and sounds pretty good with the sports button pushed.

pops like a little rally car, only with more power.
