I don’t know a ton about foreign motors other than surface level stuff like the 2JZ, Wankel, etc. so please forgive my ignorance outside of US motors.

However, in my eyes, it doesn’t get better than the simplicity and easily available power of the SBC, BBC, and 6BT. What are your all time favorites and why?

    Honda K-series (K20 and K24) is I think my all-time favourite motor. High comp, V-TEC, able to rev to the moon, respond to boost extremely well.

    Suzuki Hayabusa, I mean it was named after a Peregrine Falcon for God’s sake, how cool is that.

    Ford Barra turbo has to get a mention, those things just love more boost being thrown at them. Wish it revved a little higher though, although built examples can get pretty spicy.

    Everyone’s saying the 1JZ or 2JZ and while yes they are great motors, I’m going with the 1GZ. It’s the 5L V12 from the Century, in very basic terms it’s two 1JZ engines joined to form a V12. They never made a factory turbo version, but, just like the JZ engines, they do love boost.
