also im still sad he didnt reference the l15a/b engines some of the newer ones could rev to 8000 rpm and i could see it has a big potential sine even with stock blocks it could touch 450 ish hp(the engine only had 117 or less hp)
Hey bro,you missed out 2JZ,RB26,4G63 or Mazda 13B Rotary,also Audi's VR6 is also very good for making tons of power.Last to say the BMW S54 is also one of the most reliable BMW Inline-6 engines ever built.All of these engine can produce 1000 hp and above
yeah but even i know when talking about engines car guys may not know you don't mention 2jz or RB but what do I know, I only have done few engine rebuilds :(
It should noted that there are like 100 different Honda K series motors of various sizes, valve trains, and outputs. Numerous 2L versions, 2.4L versions, there's even a 2.3L in there somewhere.
The LS can be like a 2JZ in the United States, but if we consider the rest of the world, like Europe, Asia etc. (excluding Australia, too), those motors ain't very common on these markets and the majority of cars with LS engines are imported. And very few people do so.
I really would add the Volvo 2.3 turbo from the 850 T5R (among other Volvo,s ). And the 2.0 turbo (T5) from Saab. A T5 from saab made till 1999 can take up to 500bhp without any adjustments to the motor, and is relative cheap in upgrade parts.
Did you happen to watch that TV program where Jimmy de Ville tuned one of these engines and put it in a hill climbing vehicle? (not sure of the exact name for the sport but they drive them up quarry sides) That thing was a beast.
Just commented the same thing. The T5 is one of the best engines built EVER and should definitely be on this list. Damn near bulletproof, easy to fix, and like you said 500hp on the stock block. Though anything above 300hp and you really do need injectors, which is no biggie.
the injectors where just one item that had to be upgraded for my whole turbo conversion. Also with all the other upgrades (apart from the engine) i don,t think i have an original bolt left in my car..:)
Most people know about most of these motors... seriously the LS motor made the list? I was hoping to see the Buick 3800 on the list but I guess no one actually knows about those motors
Came NA and supercharged. Came in 3 gens, or 3 "serieses." Series 1 NA came with very little power, and SC version came with an Eaton M62 made only about 210 bhp. Series 2 and series 3 aren't much different. Series 2 NA (L36) (L26 for series3) came with 9.4:1 bottom end, still pretty strong for boost, block is likely good for 500 whp on stock bottom end. Made about 205 bhp out of the factory. The supercharged motors (L67 for Series 2, L32 for series 3) came with eaton M90, L67 came with a Gen3 M90 and L32 came with a GenV M90 (more efficient). The compression ratio on these are 8.5:1, very suitable for boost and good for well beyond 600+ whp. The L67 (by this I strictly mean the series 2 motor, the series 1 SC motor was also referred to as "L67") cars put out 240 bhp and the L32 cars with the more efficient blower and a slightly different exhaust put out about 265 bhp. In dyno results there's only about maybe 5-10 whp difference as most stock L67 cars dyno in at 200ish whp and L32 cars at 205-210 whp. For the cars that came with these motors look at wiki, but are Wbody Buick Regal GS, 6th gen Grand Prix, Wbody Impala SS, also very popular swaps on open wheel race cars and an extremely popular swap on the Pontiac Fieros (I suggest you look those up, it makes the Fiero a true mid engined sports car) that give the Fieros an awesome power-weight as in stock form makes 210+ whp (Fiero swapped 3800s have much shorter exhausts) and weighing in at around 2800-2900 lbs.
VisioRacer Yes Eaton is the manufacturer for the blowers that a lot of Fords use, the old Tbird had the same M90 blower as the 3800 Supercharged cars do. The M112 is another popular blower used in the Mustang that a lot of people used to swap into the 3800s. However for big power, the Eaton M90 blower is undesirable as maxed out M90 cars make maybe 325-350 and I believe the most powerful M90 3800 is maybe like 390 whp. The motor is very capable but the roots style blower is just not ideal for power. Most high powered people are turbo'd, there are a couple of twin screw style Whipple blower cars I suggest you look those up, they have a very high pitched whine to them so look up Whipple Grand Prix or whipple 3800 for those cars, they generally produce about 500ish whp with those blowers.
I vote the Buick 3800, all of them. notably the L67 and the 3800 I (L27) those love boost in stock form. Super popular to turbo here in Australia, reliable on 15-20 psi and makes close to 500hp on a stock engine. Good fuel like E85 or avgas can be reliable at bit over 30 psi. They boost a lot better than the L67 or the L36 due to the stronger pistons/rods and super long rods and deck. But once after market in consideration the 3800 II (L67/L36/L26/L32) wins hands down.
There are plenty of cheap Audi A4's you can get with the 1.8T. A decent one will cost you about 1500-1700 Euros with some slight dents and scratches on the exterior. A mint one will put a bigger dent in your pocket though. Low mileage ones in perfect condition can go for twice as much as ones with higher miles and visual defects, although high mileage isn't a problem for this motor IF properly maintained.
Jester Farrusco Hmm, those are pretty rare over here, but a quick search got me to one that costs about 1500 Euros. Honestly though, I don't know much about them, so I can't say whether it would be a good one at that price. As far as Audi goes, the looks are down to personal preference. I like the B6 wagon, but prefer the B5 as a sedan (that little kink in the trunk makes me very happy for some reason), but the engine is a great one, that is undeniable.
Prepping Canada I'd love to do a ITB 2.4 at some point, not for power reasons but sound alone (never seen anyone do a fuel injected ITB build on a inline-5). Been thinking about running the Volvo/Yamaha connection, lower C30 intake with 5 R1 throttle units... all dreams ofc :D
Chevy LS are you kidding me? That made the list?? What about the Saab b204l? Can hold over 600whp on a bone stock motor easy! One of, if not THE, most capable 4cyl motors in existence... And it tunes via stock ecu and canbus with a free tuning tool called t5suite. You really didn't do your research...
m200mw Holy shit... There's a volkswagen 1.8T and the Miata's 1.6 engine and you bitch about one of the most sought after engines for a swap? How about you do some research for a change. Better yet, get some experience under the hood.
A B235R owner here- You are totally right, A saab tuned engine can beat anything you trough at it. You should watch the video called "NordicTuned Saab 9-3 vs all"
Ironically enough it's probably because they've never heard of them :) Throw a few grand at them and you can push out some crazy kw with just a tune, intake, exhaust and injectors
thedog556 10 of the top 10 fastest 6 cylinder engines in this universe are 2jz with the most powerful one making near 3000hp on factory block and head ,the Barra is good but it's really that good
thedog556 the Barra isn't even the best 6 cylinder in Australia it's the rb30 but you were touting that the Barra is best in the world and I provided a proven fundamental counter argument. 1000 Barra as a daily great but there are 1500hp 2jz running as dailys and there is surely more 1500hp daily 2jz engines than 1000hp daily Barra engines. a Barra can't reliably do 1000hp on stock internals and a 2jz can. the Barra might have been better if it gotten to America but it will be totally discontinued in a couple years and fade into obscurity where it belongs
Realtime1501 Barra in Stock form with just a proper tune will make more power than a stock 2jz with a proper tune. Your argument failed just there. 2 small turbos vs 1 bigger turbo. 2jz fail Barra for the win. And then as soon as you go with basic mods the Barra will make more power on stock internals than a 2jz can dream of. And it will be more reliable in the long run. Don't get me wrong I love the Japanese RB'S and JZ'S but they can't match the Mighty Barra! But you clearly don't know anything about the Barra and what came before the Barra to make it as good as it is. The best N/A I6 engine ever AU XR6 VCT is the gran daddy of the Barra. Plenty of them do over 1mil km without ever opening the motor!! Tickford engineering at its best before they name changed to Prodrive. Google Prodrive and Subaru. Still want to talk shit about the Barra? Go ahead entertain me....
Realtime1501 3000hp 2jz lmao!! It does one run and the motor needs a complete over haul. You can make anything fast if you throw enough money at it. Damn Nissan has a la mans motor 3 cylinder 1.5L it makes 700hp!!!
I am honestly floored that the Saab 2.0 T5 engine is not on this list. With just a turbo upgrade and retune, close to 300hp. New injectors and bigger turbo and it is good up to 500hp on the stock block. Reliably 500hp.
hahahaha you see why you should save Audi's for last? they're the perfect ending, and BTW, the 1.8T 20V engine was developed entirely by Audi for racing, the engine block can resist up to 1000hp in it stock form, and for last, thank you for showing another engine that I had and loved, the 3S-GE. Keep up the good work!
Great list. However I hate those TSI engines. I hate their exhaust note especially. That fake 'crackle' on gear changes is horrid. Sorry, just my opinion.
The VW 2.0L EA888 is not the great engine it is touted as being here... This engine is plagued with many flaws right from the factory. Everything from extremely overly-complex vacuum systems to extremely thin-housing turbos that are prone to cracking at the first signs of any heat. This isn't to say, though, that it can't be improved upon with aftermarket parts... I'm simply saying from experience after owning and modding a few of these they aren't the cat's ass (from the factory) like some people think.
You forgot the cam chain tensioners that sometimes fail at as little as 30K miles and ruin the engine, turbos with wastegate flap wear, excessive oil consumption issues... the list goes on. Having said that, they're hella-nice engines when they run!
baised ass list how could you exclude the little motor that could . the wankle rotary is also tunable as fuck and puts out some impressive HP for its tiny size and then there's the 20b 3 rotor and the 4 rotor come on dude
Why the hell is the General Motors LS V8 on this list??? It's the most common swapped engine in the world. Everyone knows these are tune-able regardless what country or continent you're in. Probably not in North Korea, Cuba or other communist countries. lol I've seen GM LS V8 motors swapped in everything: Mustangs, 240z's, 260z's, 280z's, 300zx's, 350z's, 370z's, s2000's, Miata's, Supra's, Rx7's, Rx8's, Dodge Darts, Jeeps, Wrx's, Civic's, VW Golfs, Porsches, Ferrari's, BMW's, Suzuki Samurai's, Evos, BMW's, Volvos, etc, etc.. Even if you look up European street racing videos you'll see someone with a LS motor racing. The LS should be on the list for "8 engines that known for tuning".
Also, you can boost a lot more than 6psi on some old Miata 1.6 engines. They all had cast iron blocks but some early engines had forged internals as well. A carry-over from the 323 turbo.
Thank you yet again for an awesome and interresting video!! I have just bought myself an audi A4 with the 1.8 5v turboquattro. Such an amazing car and even this has a huge tuning potential!
Definitely needed to have the volvo white whiteblock t5 engines on the list. Great i5 turbo noises and can be tuned into monsters without to much difficulty. Found in 850 t5 t5r 850r and the s60 and c30
300hp is nice, but 'most easily tunable' goes to the 1.8l turbo of Volvo 4x0 first (up to 1992) series: they produce only 8 kW more than the naturally aspirated ones with 80kW, despite turbocharger, intercooler, natrium valves, oil cooler, piston oil cooling. And that is because they have been factory tuned by Porsche but afterwards new emission regulations cut in and required to reduce the power. Simply increase the turbo pressure by re-adjusting the waste gate and you get 160hp instead of 120 and nobody knows about it. Mine lasted 350000km and it was not the engine that failed (but I did no stock car racing, just using the extra power in normal traffic). After 1990 at least the natrium valves where missing and the electronics controlled the turbo pressure.
I’m surprised the 4B11T motor from the Evo X and Lancer Ralliart didn’t make the list. Easily tunable with a free computer program and a specific cable
that golf from 7:26 sounded awfully.... as for the 1.8turbos, its a shame people didn't took care of them (maintenance done periodically) that's why some call them unreliable ☹️
I think an easily tuneable engine should be an engine that responds really well to n/a power or boost while remaining with the stock block. For that reason I don´t really think the FA20 is a "easily" tunable engine, considering the high compression and "weak" bottom end. It doesn't really respond to n/a power and to go boost its not optimal without a built engine. Otherwise great list as usual, keep them coming :D
The FA and FB engine is Subaru's decision as they need to replace the older EJ engine which serviced all their cars for 20 years. The FA and FB uses chain driven camshafts to make the head assembly smaller when compared to the belt driven camshaft. Subaru engine comes with various version of the same engine like one that is turbo charged and NA form. So most turbo parts and piping are mostly bolt on.
Still the Fa20D while it is compact, it has a lot higher compression than the turbo FA20( FA20F), so while its true it is easy to install, i don't think it responds that well to boost, compared with other engines. Other problem is the "weak" transmission that limits the hp. I really like the car and the engine I just think that its not "easily tuneable", since you need turbo, piping, intercooler,ecu, injectors,exhaust... With these kinda mods most sport cars engines do what the fa20 does, or better when it comes to hp.
Its a shame most people don't give these cars their proper value, mostly because a brand new clio rs in the hands off any intermedium driver would be faster at the track. Still old cars just make you happy when you drive them :D
SBA volk the clutch do need to be replaced. But so far most of the Subarus with high power EJs didnt need to change the gearbox. The boxer layout is meant that the engine is more compact than conventional engines and have a lower center of gravity for less body roll
So who else here is rocking out on a VW EA888? Be it in an Audi or VW. 2016 GLI EA888 Gen 3 with the ECU uploaded to Unitronic. I'm awaiting a Stage 2 for this engine using ALL Unitronic bits; don't want the APR troubles plus my nearby shop for APR could do better in Customer Service..
over here in the states the chevy small block 350(5.7L) is super common in any drag or sports car, its like the grandfather of the LS, and they make every part under the sun for it "In all, over 100,000,000 small-blocks (as of November 29, 2011) have been built in carbureted and fuel injected forms since 1955" - Wikipedia
agree, stock M50B25 can hold up to 450HP without problem another engine that is missing is Z20LET, only with chiptuning and changing intercooler to bigger one can hold up to 350HP as daily and around 450-500HP as track car
Miata 1.6 can handle a lot more than 6psi lol. They don't pop until around 275-300 WHP and the 1.8 can go a lot farther. Also the 1.6 never made it into the NB, only the 1.8 which by then had a VVT head.
Why bother With the 1,6 or or the 1,8. The 2,0 FE DOHC didn't made it to the list and are way more robust than any other Mazda 4 cyl. I did personally run 9 psi into a bone stock engine (10:1 CR) for 4 years without any trouble, and that was with an engine which had passed 230k miles before the conversion.
You could add the 1.6 CVH engine from Escort Rs turbo.from 135+-bhp you can go over 200 leaving engine total stock.I saw poeople usuing stock engine going to 300Bhp.I only touch the wastegate few min work and got approx. 160 bhp
The LS engines... Seriously, engines you may not know about? Only basically the most swapped and modified motor for at least the last 10 years? I mean I like the video and the concept. But the LS isn't some diamond in the rough, or some secret. Everyone knows how good it is. I guess I get the Europe thing. But the thing about the LS is, it's in everything in the US. You want an LS, go to a junkyard and buy a truck motor for $500. Thats why it's great, it's cheap and makes great power. The lack of availability over seas (Europe) probably makes other choices better.
I'm surprised the VR6 is not on here. It's NA with only 200-250hp but people commonly make 5-600hp with only adding a turbo system and components, head spacers, and ARP headbolts. The factory internals are forged and it's incredibly strong because the original design was meant to be a diesel. It's like the most commonly swapped engine in the VW/Audi community; in fact it's common to see B5 S4's with a swapped turbo VR6 instead of the original twin turbo V6. USP motorsports has a VR6 swapped S4 with ~800whp I think, that competed in the world finals of some drag series last year. Most people know all the engines listed, not sure how you could overlook whats argued as best engine VW ever made.
Mitsubishi 4G15 1.5 DOHC 16v Mivec Turbo are also very impressive engines. From stock 150 HP to 300+ HP with stock internals. Double the power with bolt ons. And they come in cheap cars like the mirage/colt. www.rpw.com.au/power-packages/#1449672039109-54471188-e90e
some more info for you on the 2.2T 20v engine of audi. put in H profile rods and a different clutch , turbo, injectors, fuel pump and a remap and they can make 500+. ive seen s2's hit 600 horsepower on stock rods. engine and pistons can handle over a 1000 hp. even intake can flow around 700 horsepower. they are some of the most underrated audi engines people seem to miss. robust as hell and oldskool laggy. but when that boost comes on its a killer. this little 2.2 litre can kick ass. i dont see the new Tfsi's pull this off.
Ye. Mazda B series ... the Subaru engines. I expected you to say. And ... you forgot the PSA (Peugeot) XU10J4S engines. Toyota 3S engines very cheap due to FWD assembly in respect to Nissan SR. You really forgot Nissan VQ series. Lots of VQ30s can get out of donor sedans and these engines kick ass. Over square, alloy block, high quality, durable. Proven engines with excellent breathing and... can be put in any car. I don't like V6 engines, but reasonable when it can be fitted in many cars. And you forgot the Nissan V8 engine, very few people thought of adopting the truck engine for high performance application, one of them was Chris Forsberg.
Pedram Maelstorm the vk56 (nissan v8) isn't use able as a high performance street cat engine they have to have insane cams and compression ratio plus itbs so unless you're making a track only car it's pointless
That Toyota MR2 engine just seems to go on forever. I have a friend who has an MR2 Turbo that was at one point putting out around 500HP, but it was pegged back to a little less than that due to problems and yet it still went like stink.
Mazda had the MZRL3vdt 2.3 turbo 4Cyl from the MazdaSpeed 3 and 6 (MPS in Europe)Very tunable. Came stock with. BOrg Warner Ko4 turbo. The Cummins in-line 6 diesels are a notable mention. Lastly, Nissan KA24DE did very well with boost being iron block and low compression.
"Easily Tunable Engines You May Not Know" and start's with K series :D Dude, your channel is less known than the engine. And also 3S-GE easily tunable? Really? They didn't even came with tunable ECU's. And you had to change everything in it's head to rev it up, or shims starts flying from the buckets. Do some deeper research before you post a video.
Thanks for the video! Liked and Subbed, but... OMG you totally forgot the **gun, click, boom, splat** People need to stop pissin on good videos and go harass the shit, time wasting, misleading videos (this includes all the corporate pinwheel ass hat crap as well). And maybe less dick measuring, my daddy can beat blah blah blah B.S. Nuh uh, iz duz, can 2 shit... FUCK!!! I think some comments in a video like this could be: 1. If you are building a 4.3L 262 V6 and wanna save some money on a, umm water pump, just ask for a 5.7L 350 V8 water pump, they all have been cheaper when I compared. Unless you have some crazy setup it should fit. The last 4.3 block I built (a 1990) had a 1978 5.7L Checker water pump installed when I pulled it. That one freaked me out a bit. 2. If trimmed properly you can use 1.6L Honda main bearings in your 1.5L CRX. I have not checked in years but at the time they were not available or discontinued. :( 3. Wanna save $1450 +/- when your $1500 ABS craps out in your Gen 5 Accord? ^click here^ *really want info Google "integra 40/40 prop valve gen 5 accord swap" 4. Tack weld the pickup tube when installing your oil pump on your 4.3L... DO IT! These are all odd things I have tried, tested and confirmed more than once and think others might need or just enjoy knowing about them. Butt no I can't comment because some ball bags will bury it in tub of buttfuckery. If you read this far THANKS AGAIN! I'm outta here. Urban Dictionary: Dog In A Bath Tub
very popular in Germany (with classic water cooled VW) if u want crazy horsepower are the 2.0l 16V ABF engines from VW ... the engine block is cast iron an can take shitloads of punishment. There are guys running VW ABF engines with 1233hp on the street ruclips.net/video/Fuj7x4Px6zQ/видео.html boba motoring is one of the crazy dudes extracting shitloads of power from tinny inline 4 VW engines... A other great tuning engine is the GM/Opel C20LET that was stock around 200hp... in europe u get them for very little money to 400hp ...example EDS offers 350hp for 950Euro a complete engine rebuild for under 2000... ruclips.net/video/Fuj7x4Px6zQ/видео.html
You are totally wrong on the Crawford FA and on the Miata B6 Engine. Neither of them are unknown or easily tunable. Crawford did a lot to the FA to keep this engine from breaking on high power levels. I recon the FA is a strong engine. But ist is not easily tuneable. It needs like a komplete rebulid with stronger internals and an upgraded drivetrain. The Mazda B6 ist weak compared to BP 1.8L, which is way more tuneable. A slightly modded and well tuned BP can reach over 150 Bhp (Stock 136 Bhp) still n/a. Most 1.6 need a turbo or supercharger to even get to 150 Bhp. The stock Horsepower on the Turbocharged 1.6 B6 Units is an incredibly low 140 Bhp. The BP Engine which also came in the Mazda 323 GTR turbocharged won the WRC at its time. ;)
!!!! WRONG!!! Dude, why U use HP to tell how much engine can handle? Horsepower wont break anything. Torque is what matters. Also boost won't break anyhing. low boost with big turbo pushes more air than small turbo with huge pressure.. cylinder combustion pressure is what breaks engine. learn basics.
Where's Saab B204 engine ? U can take over 400whp with stock internals and they last. I know a dude who drove 35000 miles with 532whp setup . After that 35000 miles the stock internals finally gave up. B204 gives 150hp from factory and by only 100€ u can get ecu re-programmed and after that engine gives ~230hp.
Hey Visio.. Let's do an "easily tunable diesel engines" next.. Mercedes OM606 should be one of them.. Also, the VW/Audi 2.5 5-cylinder diesels are quite easily tunable to above 300 HP.. and all the well known American V8 diesels (Cummins, Detroit, Ford Powerstroke and so on)
Audi A3 1.8T the car most likely to overtake you in heavy traffic while there's oncoming traffic and cause a lot of almost accidents with idiot driving. :P Also on tunable engines, the old Volvo redblock, the most common now being B230FT. Still used a lot in racing, rallycross cars will often have an old Volvo redblock, though usually in EVO form. www.motordesign.se/en/cylinder-heads-engines/volvo-4-5-cyl-red-engine
Not to mention the LS engines are cheap. Truck engines are commonly pulled and used as performance engines, and you can find 'em in junkyards or on eBay for REALLY cheap (I looked up some engines just now and some of them are selling as low as $450 complete sans starter and ECM, but you can buy those easily). Plus, if you've got a base engine in real decent shape, you can push boost up to a thousand horsepower on the stock block (if you're willing to flirt with disaster, that is), but it'll do 600-700 easy (even naturally aspirated some of them push about that much power or can be made to push said horsepower).
Most of the engines are very very known to be tunable, like ls, 3s-gte or audi 2.2 and 1.8. Other thing is like 1.9 PD TDI that make redonkulous power and torque even for a petrol engine of that displacement. Also GM/Fiat 1.9 diesel are easily tunable to get double their original horsepower. Lada belted engnes are also easily tunable(not very reliable tho due to parts quality). NA 1.6 up to 180 hp and turbo somewhere to 300. And there are many many more
as for the MX5 engine just get a real 323turbo b6-t engine is has stock forged internals. you wont have to change much to fit it and you have the strongest 4clylinder engine block mazda has made....Combine with a bp-t head and injectors from the bp-t from the 323 gtr and you have a fucking machine easily capable of 300hp+ while being reliable.
"Eight easily tunable engines you may not know about". Yep, that's why the first five and the LS are known to every tuner and their mothers. Also, the FA20 is often "written off" because it does not have nearly the aftermarket support that the EJ25 has. Arguably a LOT easier to tune than the current FA20, but give it enough time, say three or so years and the FA20 will have a good following.
hmm.. where is the saab b234r engine? can take 500horses on stock internals. 0nly with bigger injectors, mitsubishi td04 turbo, stronger clutch, t7 magnetvalve mod and 3" downpipe and exhaust running on re85 over 320hp and 570nm of torque can be reached
Got the Vw 1.8T 20V in my Golf Mk4 GTi. Bigger intake, upgrade turbo, bigger injectors, 3" Exhaust and Tadaaaaaa 300HP and 400Nm of torque. It's real fun to drive it.
New title; " Most common tune-able engines" lol
Those Audi 5 cylinder turbos should lovely
these engines are very robust, and have a great Sound.
i want one
They earned their chops in the legendary Group B racers of the early 80's.
Yah, they do sound great
yeah
lame list, this should be called "most known tunable engines"
the text for this video should be... "read the comments to get to know the real unknown tuneable engines" ^^
Yes 😂
also im still sad he didnt reference the l15a/b engines some of the newer ones could rev to 8000 rpm and i could see it has a big potential
sine even with stock blocks it could touch 450 ish hp(the engine only had 117 or less hp)
Huge apology for double re-upload, I just overlooked some significant mistakes. I hope you will enjoy the video, though.
Np, we still love u
Hey bro,you missed out 2JZ,RB26,4G63 or Mazda 13B Rotary,also Audi's VR6 is also very good for making tons of power.Last to say the BMW S54 is also one of the most reliable BMW Inline-6 engines ever built.All of these engine can produce 1000 hp and above
YOU MAY NOT KNOW is in the title.
The ones which you mentioned are fanboy engines every car guy knows
I know but they are also tunable to that insane power,mate i am an engineer what are you on up for?
yeah but even i know when talking about engines car guys may not know you don't mention 2jz or RB
but what do I know, I only have done few engine rebuilds :(
It should noted that there are like 100 different Honda K series motors of various sizes, valve trains, and outputs. Numerous 2L versions, 2.4L versions, there's even a 2.3L in there somewhere.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. But I had specifically the K20 and K24 on my mind.
Easily Tunable Engines You May Not Know About. LS never herad before .
"may"
LS is like JZ in USA.
LS are chap as fuck
The LS can be like a 2JZ in the United States, but if we consider the rest of the world, like Europe, Asia etc. (excluding Australia, too), those motors ain't very common on these markets and the majority of cars with LS engines are imported. And very few people do so.
VisioRacer LS Are nothing like a 2Jz they are cheap and blow up all the time don't let people on the internet bullshit you
5 cylinders sound soooo good
Next one, put the Ford Australia Barra Turbo!
huge numbers from just a tune up
SOHC > DOHC
You should include the VW AP engine in the next video. It is a very popular engine here in Brazil and can achive high horsepower with forced induction
Apzeiro detected :D
É nois ;)
You definitely should!
hahahahahha olha os Apzero
também senti falta do ap tbm AP800 ou Ap800S , MD270 passat da primeira geração.
The LS engine didn't belong on this list, it's far too well known to be here.
Maybe an old Volvo T5 engine would have been a better fit ?
I really would add the Volvo 2.3 turbo from the 850 T5R (among other Volvo,s ). And the 2.0 turbo (T5) from Saab.
A T5 from saab made till 1999 can take up to 500bhp without any adjustments to the motor, and is relative cheap in upgrade parts.
Did you happen to watch that TV program where Jimmy de Ville tuned one of these engines and put it in a hill climbing vehicle? (not sure of the exact name for the sport but they drive them up quarry sides) That thing was a beast.
Nothing more to say. Swede power.
slacko1971 oh yeah nice show, you,re right that thing was a beast!
Just commented the same thing. The T5 is one of the best engines built EVER and should definitely be on this list. Damn near bulletproof, easy to fix, and like you said 500hp on the stock block. Though anything above 300hp and you really do need injectors, which is no biggie.
the injectors where just one item that had to be upgraded for my whole turbo conversion.
Also with all the other upgrades (apart from the engine) i don,t think i have an original bolt left in my car..:)
You forget about all Mercedes diesel engines OM60X and M103 M104 and the best M120 ;)
M120 is v12.It is not so common.But still.
Most people know about most of these motors... seriously the LS motor made the list? I was hoping to see the Buick 3800 on the list but I guess no one actually knows about those motors
I would put it in. Do you know something more about it?
Came NA and supercharged. Came in 3 gens, or 3 "serieses." Series 1 NA came with very little power, and SC version came with an Eaton M62 made only about 210 bhp. Series 2 and series 3 aren't much different. Series 2 NA (L36) (L26 for series3) came with 9.4:1 bottom end, still pretty strong for boost, block is likely good for 500 whp on stock bottom end. Made about 205 bhp out of the factory. The supercharged motors (L67 for Series 2, L32 for series 3) came with eaton M90, L67 came with a Gen3 M90 and L32 came with a GenV M90 (more efficient). The compression ratio on these are 8.5:1, very suitable for boost and good for well beyond 600+ whp. The L67 (by this I strictly mean the series 2 motor, the series 1 SC motor was also referred to as "L67") cars put out 240 bhp and the L32 cars with the more efficient blower and a slightly different exhaust put out about 265 bhp. In dyno results there's only about maybe 5-10 whp difference as most stock L67 cars dyno in at 200ish whp and L32 cars at 205-210 whp. For the cars that came with these motors look at wiki, but are Wbody Buick Regal GS, 6th gen Grand Prix, Wbody Impala SS, also very popular swaps on open wheel race cars and an extremely popular swap on the Pontiac Fieros (I suggest you look those up, it makes the Fiero a true mid engined sports car) that give the Fieros an awesome power-weight as in stock form makes 210+ whp (Fiero swapped 3800s have much shorter exhausts) and weighing in at around 2800-2900 lbs.
Wow, thank you for your knowledge. I have only one question? What is the Eaton? Is that the supercharger manufacturer's name?
VisioRacer Yes Eaton is the manufacturer for the blowers that a lot of Fords use, the old Tbird had the same M90 blower as the 3800 Supercharged cars do. The M112 is another popular blower used in the Mustang that a lot of people used to swap into the 3800s. However for big power, the Eaton M90 blower is undesirable as maxed out M90 cars make maybe 325-350 and I believe the most powerful M90 3800 is maybe like 390 whp. The motor is very capable but the roots style blower is just not ideal for power. Most high powered people are turbo'd, there are a couple of twin screw style Whipple blower cars I suggest you look those up, they have a very high pitched whine to them so look up Whipple Grand Prix or whipple 3800 for those cars, they generally produce about 500ish whp with those blowers.
I vote the Buick 3800, all of them. notably the L67 and the 3800 I (L27) those love boost in stock form. Super popular to turbo here in Australia, reliable on 15-20 psi and makes close to 500hp on a stock engine. Good fuel like E85 or avgas can be reliable at bit over 30 psi. They boost a lot better than the L67 or the L36 due to the stronger pistons/rods and super long rods and deck. But once after market in consideration the 3800 II (L67/L36/L26/L32) wins hands down.
Don't forget about the Saab 2.3l B235 turbo engine
Feedback is very welcome, thanks
b235r just what i wanted to say!!
that one was easy to get to around 300 bhp figures with a decent intercooler and just a few ecu changes
+Michael Kenis yep.. got one! haha
nice, just to make my mouth water... I'll say just this: Viggen xD
And i can't afford any of these, as per usual.
There are plenty of cheap Audi A4's you can get with the 1.8T. A decent one will cost you about 1500-1700 Euros with some slight dents and scratches on the exterior. A mint one will put a bigger dent in your pocket though. Low mileage ones in perfect condition can go for twice as much as ones with higher miles and visual defects, although high mileage isn't a problem for this motor IF properly maintained.
Newgenerationisbg I've been honestly looking at Mazda MX-3's with the 1.8 V6, got any info on that?
Newgenerationisbg Plus i can get an audi, but i dont really like the design, unless its an estate version.
Jester Farrusco Hmm, those are pretty rare over here, but a quick search got me to one that costs about 1500 Euros. Honestly though, I don't know much about them, so I can't say whether it would be a good one at that price.
As far as Audi goes, the looks are down to personal preference. I like the B6 wagon, but prefer the B5 as a sedan (that little kink in the trunk makes me very happy for some reason), but the engine is a great one, that is undeniable.
It's funny, because that kink that makes you happy is what turns me off the car XD
4:55 keep the boost around 6 psi if only ct Alex had listened
Hahahah, I was thinking about him when including the Miata engine
Poor engine, hahaha
how much boost did alex tuned it to
But theres still no B230FK/FT tho
Volvo in general... the stock from factory turbo inline-5s respond very well to more boost
Redblocks are badass motors, currently bolting a Holset to my 940.
I got a S40, Can't do much to the 2.4i but the T5 loves more boost, stock internals its good till 350 HP at the wheels if im right
name of the block is just b230
Prepping Canada I'd love to do a ITB 2.4 at some point, not for power reasons but sound alone (never seen anyone do a fuel injected ITB build on a inline-5). Been thinking about running the Volvo/Yamaha connection, lower C30 intake with 5 R1 throttle units... all dreams ofc :D
Of course i knew about the inline 5 turbo from Audi ;) Im a big fan of the old quattros and know very well what those engines are capable of.
1:52 that rage comic face got me good :DD
Chevy LS are you kidding me? That made the list??
What about the Saab b204l? Can hold over 600whp on a bone stock motor easy! One of, if not THE, most capable 4cyl motors in existence... And it tunes via stock ecu and canbus with a free tuning tool called t5suite. You really didn't do your research...
Your feedback is always welcome, thank you.
The reason why I put it here is explained in the text box. Just don't kill me for that.
m200mw Holy shit... There's a volkswagen 1.8T and the Miata's 1.6 engine and you bitch about one of the most sought after engines for a swap? How about you do some research for a change. Better yet, get some experience under the hood.
Cheap fanservice is called
A B235R owner here- You are totally right, A saab tuned engine can beat anything you trough at it. You should watch the video called "NordicTuned Saab 9-3 vs all"
i dont understand why the aussie ford australian 6 cyl never makes it in,
research ford australia's barra I6.
Ironically enough it's probably because they've never heard of them :) Throw a few grand at them and you can push out some crazy kw with just a tune, intake, exhaust and injectors
thedog556 10 of the top 10 fastest 6 cylinder engines in this universe are 2jz with the most powerful one making near 3000hp on factory block and head ,the Barra is good but it's really that good
thedog556 the Barra isn't even the best 6 cylinder in Australia it's the rb30 but you were touting that the Barra is best in the world and I provided a proven fundamental counter argument.
1000 Barra as a daily great but there are 1500hp 2jz running as dailys and there is surely more 1500hp daily 2jz engines than 1000hp daily Barra engines.
a Barra can't reliably do 1000hp on stock internals and a 2jz can.
the Barra might have been better if it gotten to America but it will be totally discontinued in a couple years and fade into obscurity where it belongs
Realtime1501 Barra in Stock form with just a proper tune will make more power than a stock 2jz with a proper tune. Your argument failed just there. 2 small turbos vs 1 bigger turbo. 2jz fail Barra for the win.
And then as soon as you go with basic mods the Barra will make more power on stock internals than a 2jz can dream of. And it will be more reliable in the long run.
Don't get me wrong I love the Japanese RB'S and JZ'S but they can't match the Mighty Barra!
But you clearly don't know anything about the Barra and what came before the Barra to make it as good as it is.
The best N/A I6 engine ever AU XR6 VCT is the gran daddy of the Barra. Plenty of them do over 1mil km without ever opening the motor!! Tickford engineering at its best before they name changed to Prodrive. Google Prodrive and Subaru.
Still want to talk shit about the Barra? Go ahead entertain me....
Realtime1501 3000hp 2jz lmao!! It does one run and the motor needs a complete over haul. You can make anything fast if you throw enough money at it. Damn Nissan has a la mans motor 3 cylinder 1.5L it makes 700hp!!!
I am honestly floored that the Saab 2.0 T5 engine is not on this list. With just a turbo upgrade and retune, close to 300hp. New injectors and bigger turbo and it is good up to 500hp on the stock block. Reliably 500hp.
I fucking died at 1:53
Hahah
hahahaha you see why you should save Audi's for last? they're the perfect ending, and BTW, the 1.8T 20V engine was developed entirely by Audi for racing, the engine block can resist up to 1000hp in it stock form, and for last, thank you for showing another engine that I had and loved, the 3S-GE.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Great, I will
what's the year make & model of the audi
Great list. However I hate those TSI engines. I hate their exhaust note especially. That fake 'crackle' on gear changes is horrid. Sorry, just my opinion.
Ford Pinto 2.3L engine should be on this list.
The VW 2.0L EA888 is not the great engine it is touted as being here... This engine is plagued with many flaws right from the factory. Everything from extremely overly-complex vacuum systems to extremely thin-housing turbos that are prone to cracking at the first signs of any heat. This isn't to say, though, that it can't be improved upon with aftermarket parts... I'm simply saying from experience after owning and modding a few of these they aren't the cat's ass (from the factory) like some people think.
This engine was plagued. Most of problems are solved and engine on it's own is very good to hard tuning.
You forgot the cam chain tensioners that sometimes fail at as little as 30K miles and ruin the engine, turbos with wastegate flap wear, excessive oil consumption issues... the list goes on.
Having said that, they're hella-nice engines when they run!
baised ass list how could you exclude the little motor that could . the wankle rotary is also tunable as fuck and puts out some impressive HP for its tiny size and then there's the 20b 3 rotor and the 4 rotor come on dude
Why the hell is the General Motors LS V8 on this list??? It's the most common swapped engine in the world. Everyone knows these are tune-able regardless what country or continent you're in. Probably not in North Korea, Cuba or other communist countries. lol I've seen GM LS V8 motors swapped in everything: Mustangs, 240z's, 260z's, 280z's, 300zx's, 350z's, 370z's, s2000's, Miata's, Supra's, Rx7's, Rx8's, Dodge Darts, Jeeps, Wrx's, Civic's, VW Golfs, Porsches, Ferrari's, BMW's, Suzuki Samurai's, Evos, BMW's, Volvos, etc, etc.. Even if you look up European street racing videos you'll see someone with a LS motor racing. The LS should be on the list for "8 engines that known for tuning".
Also, you can boost a lot more than 6psi on some old Miata 1.6 engines. They all had cast iron blocks but some early engines had forged internals as well. A carry-over from the 323 turbo.
LS motors are popular for sure. Still.. I prefer the BB 572 over everything here..
if you like big blocks and LS, maybe the vortec 8.1 liter is more your speed. LS and Big block Fusion
keep your BB572 i'd go for a 427FE
billy heaton ok
***** Yes i have
5 cylinders just sound like magic.
Thank you yet again for an awesome and interresting video!!
I have just bought myself an audi A4 with the 1.8 5v turboquattro. Such an amazing car and even this has a huge tuning potential!
Thank you for stopping by
Definitely needed to have the volvo white whiteblock t5 engines on the list. Great i5 turbo noises and can be tuned into monsters without to much difficulty. Found in 850 t5 t5r 850r and the s60 and c30
300hp is nice, but 'most easily tunable' goes to the 1.8l turbo of Volvo 4x0 first (up to 1992) series: they produce only 8 kW more than the naturally aspirated ones with 80kW, despite turbocharger, intercooler, natrium valves, oil cooler, piston oil cooling. And that is because they have been factory tuned by Porsche but afterwards new emission regulations cut in and required to reduce the power. Simply increase the turbo pressure by re-adjusting the waste gate and you get 160hp instead of 120 and nobody knows about it. Mine lasted 350000km and it was not the engine that failed (but I did no stock car racing, just using the extra power in normal traffic). After 1990 at least the natrium valves where missing and the electronics controlled the turbo pressure.
You definitely missed the Saab B234 engine, as it can hold around 450hp on stock internals
B204l will hold over 600whp bone stock
B202 ? ;)
my ford 5.0 can handle up to 700 hp with stock lower half
jeffel80 You are wrong. A simple google search will show you so
Opel C20LET, 2 litre 4 cylinder turbo engine, stock 201 HP, but they go as far as 700 HP with turbo and intercooler upgrades.
7:50 rip headphone users..
What about the Volvo Redblock engine? Surely, that's tunable to some degree.
I’m surprised the 4B11T motor from the Evo X and Lancer Ralliart didn’t make the list. Easily tunable with a free computer program and a specific cable
they were all fuckin awesome, wish my jeep I6 4L was in there 😭😂
I think you mean rover K series 👀, one of the best engine notes, turbo cars making 215 bhp redline of 7200
Mercedes m104 is a good one as well.
700hp on stock internals is easily possible with a decent turbo, plus its really cheap and easy to find
Mercedes Om606 diesel.
mein lieblings Motor
that golf from 7:26 sounded awfully.... as for the 1.8turbos, its a shame people didn't took care of them (maintenance done periodically) that's why some call them unreliable ☹️
Costin C. What in the world are you talking about
I think an easily tuneable engine should be an engine that responds really well to n/a power or boost while remaining with the stock block. For that reason I don´t really think the FA20 is a "easily" tunable engine, considering the high compression and "weak" bottom end. It doesn't really respond to n/a power and to go boost its not optimal without a built engine. Otherwise great list as usual, keep them coming :D
oh that Renault in ur dp.... such a forgotten legend
The FA and FB engine is Subaru's decision as they need to replace the older EJ engine which serviced all their cars for 20 years. The FA and FB uses chain driven camshafts to make the head assembly smaller when compared to the belt driven camshaft. Subaru engine comes with various version of the same engine like one that is turbo charged and NA form. So most turbo parts and piping are mostly bolt on.
Still the Fa20D while it is compact, it has a lot higher compression than the turbo FA20( FA20F), so while its true it is easy to install, i don't think it responds that well to boost, compared with other engines. Other problem is the "weak" transmission that limits the hp. I really like the car and the engine I just think that its not "easily tuneable", since you need turbo, piping, intercooler,ecu, injectors,exhaust... With these kinda mods most sport cars engines do what the fa20 does, or better when it comes to hp.
Its a shame most people don't give these cars their proper value, mostly because a brand new clio rs in the hands off any intermedium driver would be faster at the track. Still old cars just make you happy when you drive them :D
SBA volk the clutch do need to be replaced. But so far most of the Subarus with high power EJs didnt need to change the gearbox. The boxer layout is meant that the engine is more compact than conventional engines and have a lower center of gravity for less body roll

So who else here is rocking out on a VW EA888? Be it in an Audi or VW.
2016 GLI EA888 Gen 3 with the ECU uploaded to Unitronic. I'm awaiting a Stage 2 for this engine using ALL Unitronic bits; don't want the APR troubles plus my nearby shop for APR could do better in Customer Service..
over here in the states the chevy small block 350(5.7L) is super common in any drag or sports car, its like the grandfather of the LS, and they make every part under the sun for it "In all, over 100,000,000 small-blocks (as of November 29, 2011) have been built in carbureted and fuel injected forms since 1955" - Wikipedia
Lack of Volvo B230 is dissapointing, same with most 6-cylinder BMW engines.
agree, stock M50B25 can hold up to 450HP without problem
another engine that is missing is Z20LET, only with chiptuning and changing intercooler to bigger one can hold up to 350HP as daily and around 450-500HP as track car
Miata 1.6 can handle a lot more than 6psi lol. They don't pop until around 275-300 WHP and the 1.8 can go a lot farther. Also the 1.6 never made it into the NB, only the 1.8 which by then had a VVT head.
Leo lies. The b6 could be found in most Japanese and some euro spec NBs.
Why bother With the 1,6 or or the 1,8. The 2,0 FE DOHC didn't made it to the list and are way more robust than any other Mazda 4 cyl. I did personally run 9 psi into a bone stock engine (10:1 CR) for 4 years without any trouble, and that was with an engine which had passed 230k miles before the conversion.
Where is BMW N54 and N55 engines ? Where are M57n2 ??
this list is anyway wierd. it's more of an list of the best known cases, then the other way around.
m10 m50 m52 s50 s52
VG30ET from the first gen 300zx for next video! Some people are getting over 600hp on stock internals
Audis v6t from S4, s5 and sq5
You could add the 1.6 CVH engine from Escort Rs turbo.from 135+-bhp you can go over 200 leaving engine total stock.I saw poeople usuing stock engine going to 300Bhp.I only touch the wastegate few min work and got approx. 160 bhp
Cool
forgot to add that CVH engine was introduced in 1980 :)
The LS engines... Seriously, engines you may not know about? Only basically the most swapped and modified motor for at least the last 10 years? I mean I like the video and the concept. But the LS isn't some diamond in the rough, or some secret. Everyone knows how good it is.
I guess I get the Europe thing. But the thing about the LS is, it's in everything in the US. You want an LS, go to a junkyard and buy a truck motor for $500. Thats why it's great, it's cheap and makes great power. The lack of availability over seas (Europe) probably makes other choices better.
What about Fiat 1.9 JTD/MJTD and VW 1.9 PD TDI?
An LS? ive never heard of an L S motor, its apparently easy to tune
"8 Easily Tunable Engines You May Not Know About" LS engines.... Very unknown.
I'm surprised the VR6 is not on here. It's NA with only 200-250hp but people commonly make 5-600hp with only adding a turbo system and components, head spacers, and ARP headbolts. The factory internals are forged and it's incredibly strong because the original design was meant to be a diesel. It's like the most commonly swapped engine in the VW/Audi community; in fact it's common to see B5 S4's with a swapped turbo VR6 instead of the original twin turbo V6. USP motorsports has a VR6 swapped S4 with ~800whp I think, that competed in the world finals of some drag series last year. Most people know all the engines listed, not sure how you could overlook whats argued as best engine VW ever made.
Mitsubishi 4G15 1.5 DOHC 16v Mivec Turbo are also very impressive engines.
From stock 150 HP to 300+ HP with stock internals. Double the power with bolt ons.
And they come in cheap cars like the mirage/colt.

9: LADA engine. soviet non-turbo 1,7 engine can be easilly tunned from 90hp to 280 hp for about 1 000 dollars.
some more info for you on the 2.2T 20v engine of audi. put in H profile rods and a different clutch , turbo, injectors, fuel pump and a remap and they can make 500+. ive seen s2's hit 600 horsepower on stock rods. engine and pistons can handle over a 1000 hp. even intake can flow around 700 horsepower. they are some of the most underrated audi engines people seem to miss. robust as hell and oldskool laggy. but when that boost comes on its a killer. this little 2.2 litre can kick ass. i dont see the new Tfsi's pull this off.
Ye. Mazda B series ... the Subaru engines. I expected you to say.
And ... you forgot the PSA (Peugeot) XU10J4S engines.
Toyota 3S engines very cheap due to FWD assembly in respect to Nissan SR.
You really forgot Nissan VQ series. Lots of VQ30s can get out of donor sedans and these engines kick ass. Over square, alloy block, high quality, durable. Proven engines with excellent breathing and... can be put in any car.
I don't like V6 engines, but reasonable when it can be fitted in many cars.
And you forgot the Nissan V8 engine, very few people thought of adopting the truck engine for high performance application, one of them was Chris Forsberg.
Pedram Maelstorm the vk56 (nissan v8) isn't use able as a high performance street cat engine they have to have insane cams and compression ratio plus itbs so unless you're making a track only car it's pointless
3 sge is a very good engine.. unbrokable !
gabriel tanguay try the 2/3rz range they are probably more capable than the 3s range lately
yeah tacoma engine
That Toyota MR2 engine just seems to go on forever. I have a friend who has an MR2 Turbo that was at one point putting out around 500HP, but it was pegged back to a little less than that due to problems and yet it still went like stink.
Saab B204/B234? They was stock in the Saab 9000 2.0 turbo and 2.3 turbo, as well as Aero. With stock internal it can easily get up to 500 whp
the 2.0 tsi sounds like shit
Where is the GM 3800?
Dirt cheap engines (can be had for 150 bucks) and can handle up to 800hp completely stock.
How are the k series, vw 1.8t and ls engines not well known tunable engines when they are readily available and most people know about it?
Well, the 1FZ-FE should've been here as well.
How much power on stock internals? Where are you from?
Yes! Such an awesome engine, so much torque, so unappreciated
Great sound too, its literally a 4.5 2jz
Exactly, I would LOVE to build one out with a nice medium size BB turbo in a light RWD platform.
emasacriste there is one I know of that broke the rods at 1000hp on stock internals
1.9 TDi ARL code. on stock internals it withstands 350+ HP on Nitrous and 280+ PS...
Mazda had the MZRL3vdt 2.3 turbo 4Cyl from the MazdaSpeed 3 and 6 (MPS in Europe)Very tunable. Came stock with. BOrg Warner Ko4 turbo. The Cummins in-line 6 diesels are a notable mention. Lastly, Nissan KA24DE did very well with boost being iron block and low compression.
"Easily Tunable Engines You May Not Know" and start's with K series :D Dude, your channel is less known than the engine.
And also 3S-GE easily tunable? Really? They didn't even came with tunable ECU's. And you had to change everything in it's head to rev it up, or shims starts flying from the buckets.
Do some deeper research before you post a video.

I think some comments in a video like this could be:
1. If you are building a 4.3L 262 V6 and wanna save some money on a, umm water pump, just ask for a 5.7L 350 V8 water pump, they all have been cheaper when I compared. Unless you have some crazy setup it should fit. The last 4.3 block I built (a 1990) had a 1978 5.7L Checker water pump installed when I pulled it. That one freaked me out a bit.
2. If trimmed properly you can use 1.6L Honda main bearings in your 1.5L CRX. I have not checked in years but at the time they were not available or discontinued. :(
3. Wanna save $1450 +/- when your $1500 ABS craps out in your Gen 5 Accord?

You are totally wrong on the Crawford FA and on the Miata B6 Engine.
Neither of them are unknown or easily tunable.
Crawford did a lot to the FA to keep this engine from breaking on high power levels. I recon the FA is a strong engine. But ist is not easily tuneable. It needs like a komplete rebulid with stronger internals and an upgraded drivetrain.
The Mazda B6 ist weak compared to BP 1.8L, which is way more tuneable.
A slightly modded and well tuned BP can reach over 150 Bhp (Stock 136 Bhp) still n/a. Most 1.6 need a turbo or supercharger to even get to 150 Bhp. The stock Horsepower on the Turbocharged 1.6 B6 Units is an incredibly low 140 Bhp.
The BP Engine which also came in the Mazda 323 GTR turbocharged won the WRC at its time. ;)
!!!! WRONG!!!
Dude, why U use HP to tell how much engine can handle? Horsepower wont break anything. Torque is what matters.
Also boost won't break anyhing. low boost with big turbo pushes more air than small turbo with huge pressure..
cylinder combustion pressure is what breaks engine.
learn basics.
Where's Saab B204 engine ? U can take over 400whp with stock internals and they last. I know a dude who drove 35000 miles with 532whp setup . After that 35000 miles the stock internals finally gave up. B204 gives 150hp from factory and by only 100€ u can get ecu re-programmed and after that engine gives ~230hp.

Hey Visio.. Let's do an "easily tunable diesel engines" next..
Mercedes OM606 should be one of them..
Also, the VW/Audi 2.5 5-cylinder diesels are quite easily tunable to above 300 HP.. and all the well known American V8 diesels (Cummins, Detroit, Ford Powerstroke and so on)
Audi A3 1.8T the car most likely to overtake you in heavy traffic while there's oncoming traffic and cause a lot of almost accidents with idiot driving. :P
Also on tunable engines, the old Volvo redblock, the most common now being B230FT. Still used a lot in racing, rallycross cars will often have an old Volvo redblock, though usually in EVO form. www.motordesign.se/en/cylinder-heads-engines/volvo-4-5-cyl-red-engine
Not to mention the LS engines are cheap. Truck engines are commonly pulled and used as performance engines, and you can find 'em in junkyards or on eBay for REALLY cheap (I looked up some engines just now and some of them are selling as low as $450 complete sans starter and ECM, but you can buy those easily). Plus, if you've got a base engine in real decent shape, you can push boost up to a thousand horsepower on the stock block (if you're willing to flirt with disaster, that is), but it'll do 600-700 easy (even naturally aspirated some of them push about that much power or can be made to push said horsepower).
Most of the engines are very very known to be tunable, like ls, 3s-gte or audi 2.2 and 1.8.
Other thing is like 1.9 PD TDI that make redonkulous power and torque even for a petrol engine of that displacement. Also GM/Fiat 1.9 diesel are easily tunable to get double their original horsepower.
Lada belted engnes are also easily tunable(not very reliable tho due to parts quality). NA 1.6 up to 180 hp and turbo somewhere to 300.
And there are many many more
No Fiat 1.4 fire from the Fiata? Y u do dis?
wut
as for the MX5 engine just get a real 323turbo b6-t engine is has stock forged internals. you wont have to change much to fit it and you have the strongest 4clylinder engine block mazda has made....Combine with a bp-t head and injectors from the bp-t from the 323 gtr and you have a fucking machine easily capable of 300hp+ while being reliable.
"Eight easily tunable engines you may not know about". Yep, that's why the first five and the LS are known to every tuner and their mothers. Also, the FA20 is often "written off" because it does not have nearly the aftermarket support that the EJ25 has. Arguably a LOT easier to tune than the current FA20, but give it enough time, say three or so years and the FA20 will have a good following.
hmm.. where is the saab b234r engine? can take 500horses on stock internals. 0nly with bigger injectors, mitsubishi td04 turbo, stronger clutch, t7 magnetvalve mod and 3" downpipe and exhaust running on re85 over 320hp and 570nm of torque can be reached
The vw 1.8t has 150hp stock ! And in the Seat Leon 1m the 1.8t has 179hp stock
NOT 209
Leon1 m cupra r had 209hp then 225hp by end of production, same BAM engine as in TT quattro of same generation
Got the Vw 1.8T 20V in my Golf Mk4 GTi. Bigger intake, upgrade turbo, bigger injectors, 3" Exhaust and Tadaaaaaa 300HP and 400Nm of torque. It's real fun to drive it.
