Which Is A Rev Happy Engine?

[sloutch]

Guys, i was just curious which engines do you think are 'revs happy' besides the V-TEC engines we know of.

in which way do you mean rev happy.. love BIG BIG revs reliable.. or revquick/torque/snappy and how come you put a bloody 2jzgte instead of rb26 >

[funkymonkey]

get a rotary engine. they're pretty rev happy.

Poll is pointless, I have no idea which is rev happy, but I had to vote to see the votes.....

[Bluprint]

By rev happy do you mean it simply revs to high heaven, or it needs to be revved like mad in order to make any power?

[Mr. Oizo]

lol, who voted SR20...

better get some rocker arm stoppers if you want to rev it without bits flying out of the engine

[Topaz]

lol, who voted SR20...

I did

Hence my point about the poll!

[R32Abuser]

RB20 FTW! lol

[smurf80]

Yeah Id go Rb20 or CA18

hmm, ive got a 32gts-t. id hardly call the rb20det a 'rev happy' engine. i mean, it revs out ofcourse...but so does any car when u hammer it. as u mentiond White Thing, the honda vtecs are the rev happy ones....integra type R, nsx, s2000

[r32line]

it revs out ofcourse...but so does any car when u hammer it.

But it is its willingness to do so, the rb20det feels more than willing to rev and performs best above 3,000rpm, while a 3.8lt v6 commodore does not feel like it wants to rev and feels (and sounds) like it is bring brought close to its death whenever above 3,000rpm...

^^ yeh sim i know what ur saying, but my prelude i used to own was definalty a 'rev happy' engine. the needle would fly straight to redline effortlessly...i feel i have to push the 32 so much harder to get that needle round that guage.

Yeah I agree, the rb2dett is more willing to rev than any of those engines in the poll.

[interkool]

I thought the CA18 had some pretty strong pistons and other parts wich made a pretty rev happy engine no ?

[JVP]

corolla sportivo motor 2ZZ-GE

will happily rev 8000 all day long

[Munna1]

RB25DET and RB20DET but RB26DETT of the option was there

[sloutch]

Sorry guys for the newbie question. Rev happy in the sense that the engine revs to the redline without much effort and producing it's peak performance. Not sure how to put it better.

What a pointless thread, if u want a motor that "revs out" go and buy a motorbike!

Great advice there...

Great advice there...

I take that as a sarcastic remark

It was just a simple question, if you don't like it, don't post and ask me to buy a motorbike
