Well technically the engine in your car has 1.998 litres so you fall outside the range unfortunately.

You must also love that piece of shit 2 litre 6 cylinder engine in the Eunos 30X.

Wow :O some one has sand in their vag!

Anyway, recently I have read a lot of info on inline 6's and the more I read about them the more I like them. Especially the way they are balanced with crankshaft design. It seems a bit disappointing how BMW in the new M3 have gone to a 4.0L V8... kind of hor the GTR went to a V6 :(

i love the sound of skylines (oddly enough i prefer the sound of the rb25 over a 26), and i really like the sound of the ford 'barra' turbo (xr6t motor) as they sound a lot like a rb, but beefier, but there is one breed of engine that gets me harder than chinese algerbra and it isn't a 4, 6 or 8 cylinder.........

lamborghini exhaust note ftmfw!!! either their v10 or v12.

"i love the sound of skylines (oddly enough i prefer the sound of the rb25 over a 26)"- Ever since swapping from RB25 Stagea to a GTR I have been thinking a similar thing..

Inline 6 love for me started with an old 4.2 LPG Patrol, "Hmmm, turning right at a round about, 4th gear should do it," and with a set of extractors and a big zorst on it, it sounded sweet.

So people do realise the BMW are dropping all in line 6s next model range. Ditto Ford, Merc and Holden already doing so. Nobody is making straight 6s. Does anybody actually make an all alloy straight 6? Didnt think so for pretty obvious reasons. Even the M engines are all cast iron blocks

I can live with the death of the straight 6 if all the replacements are 2.5-4.0L V10s and :) But they wont be so it just sux

GM are behind hence why they are in position they are in, trying to keep their head above water. If you looked at their financial position years ago they were miles ahead of Ford, however Ford had a lot more money tied up in R&D which may have helped...

Back OT, it sucks everyone is going the V mainly due to reasons of packaging especially in performance cars, I think it is a poor compromise. I think BMW dropping the inline especially in their performance models is a real shame!

F**k it lets just all buy a TVR Tuscan S!!!!!

    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
    • Yeah i have R34 with factory small box and now RB25DET NEO swapoed and iam planning to upgrade to big box.  So i would be good as long as i do not change diff? 
    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.
