They do sound nice. But do they really make more torque?Originally Posted by tinomen
Your reasoning is sound, to a point, eventually if there is too much rotating mass having it spin around at decent rpm's is going to be a problem.
And honestly, just go look around on youtube and you'll see a lot of fast four's.
I only like boxer's myself though, other fours don't have that sound..or the torque.
Yes, in general they do.
That's actually something I love about my TDI. It's only a 2L, but puts out about 236ft-lb at ~2000rpm at stock (give or take). That's pretty good for a 4cylinder. And from what I have seen, a good chip tune can bump that up a bit.I only like boxer's myself though, other fours don't have that sound..or the torque.

The starter on my big-block puts out more torque then that.
Woah, thems fightin words. Dont you love how these wrx guys cream all over themselves, until I show a boat anchor stomping the crap out of one. Hell I put up a fair fight against a hummer vid and still im wrong. Now they atart talking bout formula one cars. Should I pull up a vid of the f1 car getting stomped by a funny car? First exxuse, was awd launches are tricky , lmfao!The starter on my big-block puts out more torque then that.
Very mature post.
Too bad you didn't learn anything. It's a shame really. It was such a simple concept that seems to be lost to you. We tried using different ways of trying to explain to you that increasing engine volume is not the only way to increase engine performance. You've either ignored them, or just don't understand them. Which is it?

Its called not caring really. I stated a fact. Hell posted videos of actual events. Do turbos and blowers make good power, hell yes. Nitrous on gas cars , yes. PROPANE on diesels oh god yes. Chips, tuners, hotter ignitions and my drunk ass uncle jesse with arthritis can make a car go faster. But heres the thing , take all that away, your left with a ENGINE. its just a air pump. Nothing more. take the wrx engine sans turbo, stick it in say my wifes durango. That suv wont move. Not enough hp or torque to spin the wheels. Stick the hemi engine in the wrx, that bitch will fly.
--- Post Update ---
raise your hand before you speak junior. This isnt fast and furious 3 tokyo drift. Tell ya what. I agree your toy is faster than my toys. On a straight away. I drive land yachts,my wifes durango is a srt, pumps 420 dyno at the rears. (its chipped) so its comparable to yours. Wanna hook up.at the axles, see whos wheels pop off faster? Foward or reverse doesnt matter.And yet I'm pretty sure that my car with the tiny 2l engine is faster than any of you cars
What a pointless comparison. When something is designed with forced induction in mind you don't just say "strip off the turbo" like it's somehow a sane comparison if you do that.
Big blocks are overrated. Forced induction is a far more efficient way to produce power. I drive a PT cruiser. That 4-cyl with the right setup can produce over 400 horsepower. If you want to step up from a 4 banger there's always the 2JZ-GTE.
So you ignored us, gotcha.
Since that's the case, I won't post any more since it's not worth it.
No no, according to him, turbo's can't be compared since,

Good thread guys. Sitting here eating popcorn while I watch some redneck continually make himself look more like a redneck.
edit:
It's simple guys, Power to weight ratio is what matters most. Now stfu and get on my horse.
