The Lotus Elise DOES NOT use a 1ZZ-FE, it uses a 2ZZ-GE. A higher revving 1.8 liter engine.
You’re right 👌✌️ don’t compare 1zz to 2zz ge performance 😅
And they show à 2zz it doesent have plastic intake plennum like the 2zz aluminium
Elise s uses 1zz, it was not sold in usa
And VVTL-I
I'd rather see you go, "Let's Go!" than ever hear you say you're the financial cowboy ever again
My friend's cousin had a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and once he had the motor built and the turbos upgraded it was a really nice car
You got that right!!!! i currently own a 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T TT AWD AWS!!!!
Turbo subarus dont have headgasket issues. Infact the stock turbo mls gaskets have been known to hold over 600whp. Non turbo ejs had hg issues. Turbo ejs have bearing and ringland issues. Yall research this one at all?
Kaboom 💥 😂
turbo subarus don't have head gasket issues *anymore
@@arlequin241 nope. Never did.
Not a sports car but we bought a '91 Loyale Wagon 4WD new (manual), first car we ever owned with ac and electric windows but that little flat four was oil starved on anything resembling a turn and was recalled to install some kind of baffle.
I know somebody that bought a 2015 WRX STI new off the lot and that car spent more time in the shop than it ever did on the road it had so many random electrical problems and clutch issues he sold it within 2 years of owning it
Damn my older Volkswagen even doesn’t do that.
JDM subaru sti's uses the ej207, no such issues...the ej257 were for export market and yes they do have ringland issues, get those forged and tuned properly they be reliable
The Elise came with Yamaha tuned 2ZZ
I’m surprised the vq35de didn’t show up on this list tbh🤷🏽♂️
It's a good engine, why would it be on here?
@cwbusrides they all have a oil consumption issue where it blows a rod or they blow head gaskets left and right without hard driving
@@youngesttre9554 I've heard the 2.5 blow head gaskets, not the 3.5 although I have heard about oil consumption from the 3.5 though
@@youngesttre9554no they dont “all have.” Literally the revup vq35 was known to have oil comp problems in which many owners didnt even experience at all. The VQ does have a piston ring/side wall clearance issue but thats about all. Some of the early 37VHR ones had paper head gaskets that caused it to leak coolant and mix oil and the gallery gaskets going bad. But theres been boosted DEs and tuned DEs with no issues lol
@@youngesttre9554that's not the DE, that's the Revup 05/06. The DE is super reliable, I never had problems with my 350z after 145k miles, I've seen them with 300k miles on the odometer, there's a reason there's still so many old 350s and G35s still on the road
A Subaru is totally reliable if serviced as per log book, and driven with Respect, Plus, not being over modified. I have just taken delivery of a new 2023 WRX this is now my 5th new WRX and i have Never had a engine issue 👍 Au
This video reads like a "what JDM sports cars are popular to hate on" compilation. Most of these issues are way overblown. Hell, half the engines on here are on here for early production faults that ended up getting fixed, by that logic, let's throw the k24 and early VQ35 and VQ40's on here for early production timing chain issues.
And the subarus most affected by head gasket issues were early NON-TURBO EJ25's. Most of the head gasket and ring land issues reported were by people who got their subaru and immediately plugged in an access port to up the boost without supporting mods. Keep the power near stock and it'll generally treat you well, or be prepared to spend big bucks on forged internals, front mount intercoolers, improved oiling, baffled oil pan, and a REALLY good tune. There isn't a middle ground there
You want bad japanese engines? Nissan ZD30, Subaru EE20, arguably the current Honda L15, Mazda MZR (if ypu want to count it as japanese), plenty of mitsubishi engines, to name a few
I'm a daily driver for 8 1/2 years of an RX-8. They are super reliable IF you get a Series II (2009-2011) with its improved oil ports (3 versus just 2) and it's electronic OMP system. Plus, almost all of the other problems with the Series I were solved - better clutch pedal, faster starter motor, more reliable electric steering, better cat, etc. The only missing upgrade that I did was put more robust coils in it.
An accurate picture of some jdm weak links. I’ve experienced a Mitsubishi failure, but boy it was fun while it lasted! Let’s go
Let’s go!!!
Sounds a lot to me like the owners do not know how to take care of these cars. Edit: I own a subaru and it has been nothing but good to me, and made no big issues in the past 3 years I owned it
So True Leonardo, read my reply 👍 Au
Most of the time with WRX’s it’s because the owners boost them. It’s reliable when it’s left as is
@@butcheredalive That happens to indeed be the case with a mix of bad maintenance. But there ware many other ways to make a car faster too. Edit: I mean without touching the engine
And I was "lucky" enough to own a 1987 Chevy Turbo Sprint (also new, guess what I traded in, an '86 CRX Si, I know, I know, not my best decision but we needed a back seat) with a three cylinder turbo churning out 70 hp but it felt like a binary toggle switch instead of a gas peddle, no transition during acceleration.......
The nissan 2.5 4 cylinder should be here, ive heard loads of crap about how shitty it is. Head gaskets, and a catalytic converter that eats itself up.
3000 gt pic was shown for the Supra.
I knew the Renesis would be here. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
Everything mentioned can happen to any engine. Over boost it and it pops, carbon build up makes piston rings fail too, not enough fuel causes detonation.
Things like the oil metering pump failing with no cel to warn you causing oil starvation, needing to premix, early and often oil changes, eating spark plugs and coils, plugging up cats due to premixing, etc are more unique aspects of ownership.
My 1zz had catastrophic engine failure thank to its pre cat I still own it but have different pre cat
Every engine on the list with "sludge build up" is neglected from owners failing to change the oil in a timely manner. Even the manufacturers recommended oil change intervals aren't enough. 2500 - 3000 miles, you should be changing your oil, especially if you're dogging it
The honda type r fk8 is good?!
I currently have a 2013 FR-S with a valve spring recall I am going to get it done next week on Wednesday.
I will come back to this comment and let you guys know what happens in 3 weeks to a month to see what happened or how it holds up. No I don’t race. It is well taken care of, maintenance is up to date, every fluid is topped off.
How long have you had the car? I'm going to prob get frs in 3 months. Wondering to buy a new 86 or older frs but both must have under 50k miles. Any info would be helpful!!
I've had it for a month already with 82k miles and it feels and sound flawless, as long as you keep the motor stock and maintained, it can last for around 220k miles until you need a tune up again🙌🙌@@cuesunny
@@trd_banco good to hear you got a good one! Thanks for feed back!!
@@trd_banco I’ve got one but decided to not have the recall done for a number of reasons. 158k miles and still going strong. Look forward to your update. Best of luck to you. Enjoy the car!
@@stevef3521 I’m glad you commented, I actually lost this video 😂
But basically, I took my car into the Toyota dealership in Antioch for the recall. On a Wednesday morning I arrived at the service center and talked to one of the people, I was explaining to them what the defect was when they exchange the valve springs. What I read was that the technicians over use the sealant on the motor which causes the oil to not flow through correctly when they reassemble it. But they do test drive before they give it back.
I also asked if I can take it to Subaru because they are the ones who deals with boxer engines. Short story No, it was Toyotas recall, not Subaru even though they make the engines.
So 3 days go by and I received a call and picked up my car, I inspected it first before I left noticing that they changed the oil and can still hear the same ticking sound which is normal. Anyways another month goes by and the engine is still running strong at 87k miles with no check engine lights 👍
Had to explain as much as I could so you could feel better about it😁
Turbos here mu go
I love the RX8 lookswise... it's it safe to say an LS swapped RX8 is acceptable?
If the electrics are done properly by a person who knows what they’re doing, it would probably be reliable
I’m just glad the Ej isn’t first
All this time I thought the 3000gt only made 276 hp
TRD SIENNA????
why can't you leave Mitsubishi alone they did everything right you probably just got bored or something and said oh yeah Mitsubishi UMMM NOOOOOO
I have an Toyota 86 2012, valve spring recall has been done. I have had no other issues with it. And it’s done 250,000 kilometres.
172000km on my 2012 here. Running beautifully.
Nice to hear! I'm prob going to get one in few months! I won't be tracking it but just daily and some fun rides. Anything I should look for from an owners point?
You’re showing images of the federalized
s2 Elise yet talking about the 1Zz. The Elise ran the 2zz for NA. Get your facts straight before posting this trash. The 2ZR didn’t come into use until 2011 and by then the Elise was no longer imported
I like boxer engines. But the more other people don't like them, the more there is for me and the cheaper they should be. lol
Number 4 shows the 3000gt again
Lol. Our 3 Subaru's have been the most reliable cars we've ever had. Our 18 yr old Impreza would still be in our driveway if we were smart enough to undercoat it (Canadian winters). Look after them and they'll last.
NA Subarus are good. Not the turbo ones
BRZ/86 number 1 worst JDM engine, i dont own one, but dont think thats true.
I guess JDM engines are so good then and thats the worst😂
Bs about mazda rx8.. you just have to know how to maintain it
Everyone is just butthurt that folks are speaking on bad JDM engines. JDM cars are not the Holy Grail of tuner cars despite what the fast and the furious movies made everyone believe.
You are not gonna get a 30k JDM car drop 15k in mods for it and dominate ALL super cars. The fast and furious movie sold that lie so well that people actually started to believe that it was possible to do that and now everyone believes ALL JDM cars are the gold standard of tuner cars based on one cool looking racing lie.
😮😮
You really are out of ideas. You made already a video of these and none of those cars was JDM. But you already knew that, you're just too lazy to innovate.
Just recycling content at this point
This video was poorly researched and done😮
I agree
I dunno what are you talking about, they did the research and i dunno why you guys saying "poorly research"
Bro came out and said it was a viewers poll. Why are people going at them? They give a bunch of info on each motor.
Idk everything stated are factual. Maybe you should swallow your jdm fanboy pride and use Google yourself. 😅
You must have a car on the list 😂
So wrong mate! 2zzge on worst jdm engines?WTF? 🥶 No way! 2zzge IS ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE 4CYL ON EARTH!!!
Mate you probably got confused with 1zzfe. 100%
Good lord the RX8 was the worst Mazda ever made i love the look but everything else about that car sucks so much ass. If they didnt have the Miata theyd have been screwed
pretty much every JDM car is ass, most dont know how to balance the power lmao.
More toyota problems than i would have assumed
Subbie owners 😂😂
3:28 So you always wanted an STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection)? 🤔
🤣I own a corolla 1zzfe 1.8 its horrible but not bad
I owned a 99 1ZZ-FE Corolla for 6 months and it blew the connecting rod through the oil pan at 161k miles. Bought it with 150k. I’ve had my current Saturn for about the same length of time and mileage and the only problem I’ve had so far is a heater blower motor
*why are they bouncing like they're making a tik tok video*
