My wife's Inline 6. Can you guess what it is?

Max Power = 170Kw at 5900rpm

She baby's it, but it can do 242 Km/Hr

Av. Fuel consumpt'n = 9.4l/100Km

Variable valve timing is regarded as 'stepless'

4 valves/cyl

Max torque of 300Nm at 3500rpm

0-100Km/Hr in 7.9sec

Engine constructed of light-weight aluminium

RWD

Front & rear susp'n, calipers and rear axle track control arms made of aluminium

2979cc engine capacity

Yep, it's an E39 2003 model 530i

Not an engineer thank good for that, I don't have the necessary attention to detail; (if this were a plain we would all be dead); yeah it all could be found on Wiki; however it doesn't change the love for the inline 6.

Yeah ok if you take the fact that there are 4 engine strokes there's only really only about 32° of overlapping power, however it was given as a figure to compare it to a I4 (180° of power)... its a bad idea to quote out of context, that is how facts are miss represented and figures skewed.

Dose any one know of forums devoted to the I6, I mean there are plenty devoted to V8's and shit... but I haven't herd of any for the I6.

The M3 had to have the best I6 I've heard IMHO. I don't why, by it sounds great. I'm spewin that the put v8's in the M3s now. They should make an M1 and put the old M3 engine in it.

On the flip, I just heard a new M3 scream past the other day, I'm not so spurious anymore. It was fkn good.

Skyline sounds so much more advanced over any road going 4 cyl. (Maybe not the rally cars though...)

yeah BMW are still on par, my e46 2.5l is so smooth with torque and the rb26 is one of the best engines areound....not to mention the 2jz.

any other good straight 6's?......anyone?

DOHC Inline 6 from Ford Australia, built in Geelong, Victoria. 195Kw on 91 RON, 200+ on 98 from factory N/A :P

Gotta hand it to ford with this engine; forget the NA....the turbo 4.0litre is incredible (dosent sound to bad either)

also what about the rb30e; dont know much about it but it paved the way for the hybrid 25/26.....nothing says kool when you have a 40k engine with a bottom end from pick-a-part campbellfield uleh

just to clear things up, the engineer comment i made was sarcastic.

just for reference, i wouldnt say theres 60 degrees of overlap, thers 60 degrees between each cylender firing. i have been told that there is about 80 degrees of crankshaft rotation before the downward pressure runs out, so i'd say theres only baout 20 degrees of overlap

no i'm not an engineer either :P

I still prefer the sound of a Tuscan Speed 6.

I find the M3 sounds really anaemic at low RPM and low loads. That Tuscan sounds tough whether its being blipped while stationary, or driven hard.

1JZ love over here, even though the things sound like vacuums with stock exhausts. That engine can take an absolute beating before it gives out.

Large displacement bent 8's over all of them though. Nothing draws a crowd like straight pipes on a V8; it's the people's engine.

270Kw from the I6T in the XR6T, 315Kw I think from the FG F6 I6T.

20B rotary sounds similar to an inline six due to firing pattern. 4 rotor sounds like a screaming little V8!

I think it's Mad Mike the Kiwi drifter who's quad rotor i heard on you tube!!! F1 all the way!!!

Awesome.

And my vote's for the RB25!!! Cause that's all i could afford..... :thumbsup:

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.

    • So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.      
    • Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.
    • Sorry to say, I think that is a pretty long shot on this forum.....
    • sorry, "info" from Lumley here: https://www.lsvcarinsurance.com.au/about-nrma-insurance
    • So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
