As the owner of a Ford Taurus with the 3.0 Liter Duratec V6, I can say that it is a fine piece of engineering. In over 135K miles it keeps singing along with only scheduled maintenance provided. It has an impressive growl to it exhaust tone and the architecture lends itself to great power potential. The displacement has been increased to 3.5 Liters and has found itself in the latest edition of the Daytona and LeMans winning Ford GT. It develops plenty of power when allowed to reach higher RPMs and the Ford owner's manual touts that this engine's potential is most appreciated by "spirited drivers". It is offered in automobiles as well as SUVs and even in trucks. It's one of Ford's most versatile engines of the modern era. The twin turbo Eco-Boost version is a screaming powerhouse that's found its place well in the torque hungry arena of pick up trucks.
They do have a tendency to leak oil from the the oil pan and timing cover. And changing a water pump on one is a bit of a headache. That said it is one of my favorable v6 engines.
pbfloyd13, you're right about the oil leaks. The rear main seal can also be a problem. I believe that the gasket seals harden because of heat. Updated gasket materials and designs may have addressed the oil leakage problem in some cases. On some versions of this Duratec the water pump located at the rear of the left side cylinder head where it's driven by its own separate drive belt. On a Taurus this would be at the front, driver's side of the engine. Access to the pump is pretty good.
I have a Mazda 6 wagon with this engine and a 5-speed manual. It's super fun and I've put over 30,000 miles on it in the last 18 months but it's still going strong! For anyone who had a 3.0L Duratec, I really recommend trying Schaeffer 7000 or 9000 series oil, and even if you don't want to get fancy oil, do yourself a favor and get a good oil filter like a Wix or similar.
@@G_WOLF yeah ive got one in my Freestyle that ive tuned with a proper CAI and larger 72mm throttle body. Looking to fit up some catless MSDS headers for an 06-08 mazda 6 (same engine) and do a true dual exhaust. Hoping it sounds good with an x pipe and some beefy resonators
Honorable mention for the lotus/brm h16 engine. I still have an original piston from that engine on my desk, given to me my one of Jim Clark's race mechanics, it was shortly replaced with the dfv (shown in the video)
another tidbit of information on the Ford Duratec V6: The glorious Aston Martin V12 is at its core a "double" Duratec V6 (its ofc cast as a single block). This saved a lot of development and production costs
Nice video. Keep the great work up. BMW's M57D30 is a good engine as well wouldn't you agree? It came in a single turbo configuration in 25d and 30d variants or twin turbochargers in the 35d models. Those engines are dependable workhorses for most of their lives and are even with high mileage a good platform for upgrades. A simple removable of the catalytic converters and DPF followed by a tune pushes them into 300 HP/600Nm territories or even 360 HP/750Nm (for the 35d variants). With an upgrade turbocharger and fuel system higher outputs can be achieved easily but watch out for transmission issues if you run an automatic transmission.
Not only that it won the most awards of best engine of the year and years after that its the strongest Diesel Engine ever made love M57 Owned a 530d E39 back then it was a true sleeper
Mercedes M103 (SOHC) / M104 (DOHC) - 3.0 Two of the sweetest sounding I6 engines out there Both extremely durable as well, and can easily be turbocharged for ridiculous performance Commonly used in the Mercedes W124 300E, 300CE and the 300SE
Great compilation of engines, as usual. I agree with JRP Romeo156GTA that the Busso v6 definitely deserved to be here, probably the best sounding v6 ever, along with the Ferrari Dino. A little information though: in italian the word "Tipo" is pronounced as "tee-poh".
What about the Mitsubishi 3.0 v6? Used many of dodges fwd cars from the shadow and Daytona to the stealth..also used in the 3000gt and probably many others that I have not mentioned.. They were very reliable strong ohc engines..and very easily upgraded from parts from other Mitsubishi engines..had one when I first got my drivers license.. Did a few upgrades with parts from junkyard cars..larger throttle body from a 3.3..injectors from dodge 4 cyl turbo car which were slightly bigger..ported and polished intake plenum and 2 3/4 straight exhaust.. Was easy to do and gave a lot of 5.0 mustang owners a pretty big shock after lining up against them..they never expected a little dodge shadow to run like that..lol
Wow it just seems to me that consistently the producers of these videos overlooked one of the cars that have been admired by so many and are still relevant in today's Automotive scene, the 300ZX and the 3.0 L. VG 30 TT highly tunable motor with a bottom capable of handling on average 500 horsepower, cars are still available people are doing amazing things with them and they continue to be ignored for the most part.
The Duratec sounds quite a bit better in my Jag... really a nice and reliable engine. Ford never managed past 220HP, the Jag has 243 as standard - bit of tuning gives 270 HP.
Vauxhall/Opel Carlton 3L GSI 24v? Straight 6 but my friend who worked at a Vauxhall dealership said that up to 4000rpm the motor worked as 2 separate 3 cylinder engines. Then at 4000rpm it worked as a 6 cylinder and was like a turbo....really pushed hard. 204 bhp and around 150mph top speed.
You completely missed out the Porsche 3.0L 16V version of their slant 4 engine! This was derived from the 2.5L 4 cylinder that was derived from one bank of the 928's V-8. Introduced in the 944 S2 this engine with it's 16 valves, twin cams and twin balancer shafts produced 211BHP. Then upgraded with variable valve timing for the Porsche 968 to give 240BHP and finally 300 BHP in turbo form. This is a lovely engine and is capable of surprisingly good fuel economy, when not being pushed hard.
My top 3 engines: - N52B30 from 130i (265hp) - light and powerful (last BMW R6 with reliable MPI) - Opel X30XE (cca 220hp) - sweet sounding classic 60° V6 with max torque at 3000 rpm (due to great intake) - 3,0 V6 biturbo from 300ZX - can be tuned to 700 hp :-D
Of course they should. But I would rather see the little bit tuned ?270hp? version of N52 in E90/91/92.... or S52B30!! - this would be dream car.......mmm :-)
InvictvsNox there's not many flatheads that have been used in vehicles is there? not trying to be a dick I just can't think of more than like 3 and 2 of those are Ford engines
The best 3 litre engine that I've had experience with is the Nissan RB30 engine, I've got a VL Commodore as one of my cars which is off the road & needs a lot of restoration work. There was nothing special about it in single cam & non turbo form but they are a very good platform for a very high performance engine as their crankshaft & connecting rods are very strong from the factory. I bolted an RB25DE cylinder head onto the engine along with its pistons, oil pump,etc to create an RB30DE engine,it had a noticeable increase in bottom end torque but the big power increase (50%) came after 3,500 RPM's. My current Commodore runs a tuned 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine & is a bit better people carrier because it has a lot more power & torque, like if I cart a car full of people around in it ,it doesn't seem to change its performance. Even with the twin cam 3 litre engine, I still had to keep the revs up in the VL Commodore with a whole lot of people in the car as I still noticed a difference from when I'm the only one whose in the car. I don't notice it in the V8 Commodore, as far as the 3 litre engine goes,I'm not sure if it's noticeable in turbocharged form. They did release the VL Commodore fitted with the RB30ET engine but they had the dreaded turbo lag as they ran a Low compression ratio of 7.8:1 & the stock 150 kilowatt power output isn't surprisingly powerful to todays standards as that engine is about 30 years old now.
What about the 3.0L V6 turbodiesel from VM Motori? In the US it was put in the RAM 1500 starting in 2014 and was the reason why it was Motor Trend's Truck of the Year for that year.
Muammar Gibran Since the VE30DE Was based on the VG but enhanced (VIAS- VVT) and since it had a cast iron block, well, way better than any VG30DET. Now, regarding the VQ, well, the VQ30DETT prepared for racing is a killer one.
I've got 2 maximas with the vq3.0de-k, both with over 200k miles still running strong. Pretty powerful engine especially when combined with the manual gearbox.
in europe vr4 came with two MHI 13G turbos stock you could just crank up the boost and have 500hp 700nm and have the fastest car around in the early 90´s. Stock Z32 TT turbos are Garrett TB02/22 turbos that can also make similar power . mk4 tt supra can also make similar power..
OM606 and OM605 can take up to 4.2bars of boost on the stock engine,providing 700+hp and 1200+nm. Okay,it's way too much and you shouldn't run it like that,but 3-3.5bar is no problem at all,for long time use also.
The DFVs last championship came 27 years After it first ran strictly speaking. The Engine Schumacher used in 1994 to win was a Cosworth V8, still basicly a DFV with more Displacement and ECU. That is the most impressive thing about the engine.
I was expecting a mention of the Porsche 3.0L inline 4 in the 944, as well as the BMW M60 3.0L V8 engine. Neither are really "the best" but they would have been an interesting mention because of their displacement to number of cylinders ratio. But great video none the less, well done Visio!
Treva Graham Duratec is pretty much the next generation and is just as reliable. Although the power differs greatly due to the DOHC set up with 4 valves per cylinder. I own one and it just has a jam to it over 2500rpm and it'll rev past 6500rpm sounding amazing while doing it
I have an 01 Taurus (no manual transmission available for this one), with the Vulcan engine and I can attest to it's longevity and reliability. In the 3 years I've owned the car (and nearly 30k miles), I've never had any issues with the engine itself. It currently has 207k miles on it and it still runs fine. Sure it isn't powerful or fuel efficient, but it works.
Something everybody has missed is the title. It is "11 OF THE BEST 3.0L ENGIENS IN THE WORLD" , it's not a top 11 best engiens. First read carefully than comment. BTW GREAT VID ! 👍
Mhhh I've missed the BMW N57 Diesel engine! In my opinion it's the best 3L diesel on the market! With minor modifications it reaches over 300hp, 5200rpm and 750nm (!) of torque! Packed in a car like the e90 330xd it's ab beast on the road and absolutely economic!
Chase Watkins, its not necessarily the ECU, Motec has a ECU that can control DI, The main problem is the fuel system, mainly injectors and the high pressure fuel pumps, its going to take some time before aftermarket developers get onboard and start making high flow/pressure injectors and pumps which is no easy task when you consider some DI fuel systems out there run in excess of 20 000psi. that's no easy task, of coarse you can just put on secondary port injection to supplement the required fuel but ultimately just like when fuel injection first came out its going to take tuners some time before they really figure how to fully take advantage of what DI has to offer mainly the ability to inject fuel during the compression stroke which can reduce engine knock considerably if done right giving the ability to run more timing and produce more power. Soon fuel injection will become antiquated like carburetor
Yes but that Motec ECU is starts at almost 5 grand. That's quite a pretty penny vs a Haltech or ProEFI for a 2jz. Secondary injection to supplement the direct injection not only helps in terms of power but also longevity.
chase Watkins, yeah secondary port injection will clean out carbon deposits from the back side of the intake valves which is one of the biggest issues with DI at the moment, maintenance, because there is no fuel injected into the intake ports, all that engine oil that gets dumped back into the intake manifold by the EGR valve builds up to thick carbon deposits on the backside of the valves in DI injected cars sometimes in as little as 30,000 miles it can cause compression loss and other problems and isn't cheap to get it serviced and removed by the dealer, secondary port injection will clean all that oil off valves as its injected and solve that carbon deposit problem DI engines are known for, or you can just remove your EGR valve and replace it with a block plate and stop the oil getting into the intake manifold to begin with, but I think if you do that you'll fail this thing called a smog test or something
In my opinion, the Toyota 2JZ-GTE and the Nissan RB26/30 (RB30 block with RB26 head) are the best 3.0L engines. Their ability to make ludricous power, rev so hard and sound nuts win me over. God bless u Nissan and Toyota.
The Nissan VG30DETT from the 300ZX(Z32) should also be there. That engine has seen sucess at the Sebring 12hours, the Daytona 24hours and Le Mans 24hours,all in the same year. 1994.

Exactly lmao 😂
I've been looking if anyone has tuned this engine
Great acceleration. Eleven year old Escape surprises many

Idk, but I know they used it in the escapes and fusions up until the 2013 redesigns. Love my v6 escape

they used the duratec in a lot of stuff, and they can sound quite good imo

3.0 I4 from Porsche 944S2 and 968 models. Awesome fourbangers.
Here in Aus those rb30's are everywhere. They even make great power with the single cam head aswell.
nice mention of the EZ30, really should have used a video of one rowing through some actual gears, especially being short ratio 6 speed ;)
I know this video is old. But the duratec 3.0 v6. Is It the same engine used in the 2001-2012 ford escape/ ford mavericks?
The 3.0l Straight 4 in the 944 S2 is a great engine. Drives like a 6.
This big volume per cylinder in R4 needs balancing shafts = lazy engine.
or the same engine later put in the 968. fantastic and powerful engine.
Arthur Wall It's not that lazy. Porsche wouldn't make a bad engine

I had a Chevrolet Omega 3.0 straight 6, german engine, 12 valves....the sound was awesome!
that Audi acceleration was insane. Didn't though it was that quick. But diesels are sick.
no N54? wow. second to only the 2j.
that guy lol. No
+Andrew Murphy he is right,n54 can easily make 600 plus HP in stock internals.
Pretty sure an RB26/30 drag car would beat an N54 powered one.
N54 is a great engine. Also unreliable in stock form. Unless you're heavily tuning it the N55 is technically more accomplished.
N54? Lmfao thats trash...

InvictvsNox there's not many flatheads that have been used in vehicles is there? not trying to be a dick I just can't think of more than like 3 and 2 of those are Ford engines
Noted! Thanks
Plennnnty. Most engines were flatheads before overhead valves became a huge thing.

Gotta appreciate your roots, bud.
The best 3 litre engine that I've had experience with is the Nissan RB30 engine, I've got a VL Commodore as one of my cars which is off the road & needs a lot of restoration work.

What about the vq30de-k or the vq30det? it makes 226 hp in the naturally aspirated k version or 280 in the turbo version
I expected the 3 liter straight six from the 300sl gullwing because it is more significant than any of the others. 200+ hp was crazy back in 1955.
this engines remain on the history for the reliability and for the good amount of power especially the 2jz motor but as always good video ;-)

hey where's the H1 3L V8 made by out of two suzuki hayabusa inline 4 engines weighing only 90 kg and producing 500 hp with no forced induction?!
I have a Legacy Spec B with the EZ 30 and its a superb engine
I love 3.0L engine 😍😍😍😍
S50B30 revs to 71000 rpm, slight editing mistake but I dont think anyone really minds. Great informative video.
SHO but no Mitsubishi 3000 gt / twin turbo dodge stealth?
in europe vr4 came with two MHI 13G turbos stock you could just crank up the boost and have 500hp 700nm and have the fastest car around in the early 90´s. Stock Z32 TT turbos are Garrett TB02/22 turbos that can also make similar power . mk4 tt supra can also make similar power..
The NA 2J sounds so good 🤤
Speaking of RB30, you can make an RB26 to an RB30 by OS Giken's RB30 kit.
How do you add the 2jz and RB but not Bmw’s N54?
Duratec in the house
OM606 and OM605 can take up to 4.2bars of boost on the stock engine,providing 700+hp and 1200+nm.
Okay,it's way too much and you shouldn't run it like that,but 3-3.5bar is no problem at all,for long time use also.
Yup doubt any petrol engine in this video could do that
MiG21aholic 4.2bars on a full stock engine?I don't think so.ok,maybe except the 2jz-gte.
Well petrols don't need that much boost to make their power but they never will make 700hp on factory internals
joczo97 you honestly think a 2jz will hold 4.2 bar of boost on stock internals,? Overhyped , overpriced boat anchors, catch yourself on
The DFVs last championship came 27 years After it first ran strictly speaking. The Engine Schumacher used in 1994 to win was a Cosworth V8, still basicly a DFV with more Displacement and ECU. That is the most impressive thing about the engine.
Alfa Romeo busso?
Good Engine but Outdated when it came out
I was expecting a mention of the Porsche 3.0L inline 4 in the 944, as well as the BMW M60 3.0L V8 engine. Neither are really "the best" but they would have been an interesting mention because of their displacement to number of cylinders ratio. But great video none the less, well done Visio!
Ford's 3.0 Vulcan is a great engine that refuses to die especially when paired with a manual transmission.
Treva Graham Duratec is pretty much the next generation and is just as reliable. Although the power differs greatly due to the DOHC set up with 4 valves per cylinder. I own one and it just has a jam to it over 2500rpm and it'll rev past 6500rpm sounding amazing while doing it
I have an 01 Taurus (no manual transmission available for this one), with the Vulcan engine and I can attest to it's longevity and reliability. In the 3 years I've owned the car (and nearly 30k miles), I've never had any issues with the engine itself. It currently has 207k miles on it and it still runs fine. Sure it isn't powerful or fuel efficient, but it works.
I love your channel lol. So fun and interesting to watch
listen 3.0 volvo s60 polestar european edition 508 hp
Something everybody has missed is the title. It is "11 OF THE BEST 3.0L ENGIENS IN THE WORLD" , it's not a top 11 best engiens. First read carefully than comment. BTW GREAT VID ! 👍
How about a video on motorbikes?? From 2 strokes,inline 4's,v twin,v4,cross plane crank
Mann your vidoes are so gooood. Damnn i like your style
Pops had an 87 supra 2jz n/a. Pretty cool car
Mhhh I've missed the BMW N57 Diesel engine!
In my opinion it's the best 3L diesel on the market!
With minor modifications it reaches over 300hp, 5200rpm and 750nm (!) of torque!
Packed in a car like the e90 330xd it's ab beast on the road and absolutely economic!
Love the content but you definitely can't have a best 3.0 engines without considering the Busso V6 or N54.
how could you miss N54 N55 N52 whyyyyyyyy
For real the N54 is the modern 2JZ. I think if DI ecu's become more common and affordable we'd probably see 1XXX hp N54's
The turbo's and the fuel pump seem to be the problem with the N54. But that's okay since they need to be upgraded to make power anyway.
Chase Watkins, its not necessarily the ECU, Motec has a ECU that can control DI, The main problem is the fuel system, mainly injectors and the high pressure fuel pumps, its going to take some time before aftermarket developers get onboard and start making high flow/pressure injectors and pumps which is no easy task when you consider some DI fuel systems out there run in excess of 20 000psi. that's no easy task, of coarse you can just put on secondary port injection to supplement the required fuel but ultimately just like when fuel injection first came out its going to take tuners some time before they really figure how to fully take advantage of what DI has to offer mainly the ability to inject fuel during the compression stroke which can reduce engine knock considerably if done right giving the ability to run more timing and produce more power. Soon fuel injection will become antiquated like carburetor
Yes but that Motec ECU is starts at almost 5 grand. That's quite a pretty penny vs a Haltech or ProEFI for a 2jz. Secondary injection to supplement the direct injection not only helps in terms of power but also longevity.
chase Watkins, yeah secondary port injection will clean out carbon deposits from the back side of the intake valves which is one of the biggest issues with DI at the moment, maintenance, because there is no fuel injected into the intake ports, all that engine oil that gets dumped back into the intake manifold by the EGR valve builds up to thick carbon deposits on the backside of the valves in DI injected cars sometimes in as little as 30,000 miles it can cause compression loss and other problems and isn't cheap to get it serviced and removed by the dealer, secondary port injection will clean all that oil off valves as its injected and solve that carbon deposit problem DI engines are known for, or you can just remove your EGR valve and replace it with a block plate and stop the oil getting into the intake manifold to begin with, but I think if you do that you'll fail this thing called a smog test or something
Which v6 engine is the Best?
You said that the engine is first installed in a e36 m3 but why are you showing an e30 m3
When he introduces the 'DFV' V8; wear headphones and thank me later.
What about the Mercedes-Amg M276, thats also an AWESOME 3.0 V6, that makes a epic noise with the performance exhaust
In my opinion, the Toyota 2JZ-GTE and the Nissan RB26/30 (RB30 block with RB26 head) are the best 3.0L engines. Their ability to make ludricous power, rev so hard and sound nuts win me over. God bless u Nissan and Toyota.
Shaihan Rasheed N54 and S50 *cough* *cough* both capable of 1000hp aswell
M54B30, hands down, still one of the best engines BMW has ever built.
I agree with jrp.. youh completely looks over the Alfa busso... for what a ford duratec and some diesels
The Nissan VG30DETT from the 300ZX(Z32) should also be there. That engine has seen sucess at the Sebring 12hours, the Daytona 24hours and Le Mans 24hours,all in the same year. 1994.
Actually kind of surprised the EZ30 made it to the list. Especially since the first iteration had odd exhaust port designs.
I was a little surprised to see the Ford duratec make this list. Its often overlooked and shadowed by the yamaha v6.
That Ferrari engine sounds delightful. Maybe just as good as the bmw inline 6
More of these videos please 👍
