$5 says you can't guess w/o looking who made the motor that powers that car. And if you can, guess what car was it in.

No looking. Cheating makes baby Jesus cry.

"Torque 65kg-m @ 3800rpm"

WTF?

[Megaseth]

isnt that a lot? it sounds less since its in KG-m and not lbs per foot.

[nametakennow]

It is a Porsche motor, I wanna say it was in the 944, or 968.

edit: Damn, a little late... I hadn't refreshed yet. 968 headlights are another dead giveaway.

[ace135cc]

well cant find a conversion for 65, but google says 47.8 kgm = 346 ft-lb.

[Megaseth]

its a 968, its an aluminum V8. it WAS the only V8 porsche made till the Cayenne.

Motor Type Inline 4 Turbo

As for the car, I think he was asking what car the motor was originally from, implying that the motor in that car is not a typical Porsche 968 motor.

[elbles]

A stock Porsche 968 was equipped with a 3.0 liter 4 cylinder; yeah, that's right, a 3.0 liter 4 cylinder . . . quick car, would never feel all that comfortable driving a 4 cylinder with that large a displacement.

And for the record, Porsche had a beauty of a 5.0 liter DOHC V8 in the 928; Tony Montana had one in "Scarface", I've wanted one ever since learning about that car. :-)

[Megaseth]

ah, you're right. the motor in the car is a I4, but the 968s had an aluminum V8. the car is a 968 though, only with a smaller motor.

[Megaseth]

oops, thats right, the 928 had a V8. i got the 2 mistaken. as for big I4s, i think Ferrari made a 3.5 litre I4 in one of their old cars.

[elbles]

Hey, I wouldn't care which engine was in either the 928 or 968 as long as I had one. :-)

Interesting to know what that Ferrari I4 though . . . I'll have to look stuff up. :-)

[Altiman94]

Its a ka24e

[rico05]

You guys are so far off it's funny.

It is a 1.8l from a BMW 318ti. Turbo'ed of course.

Rrrriiiiggghhhhttt

"He didn't used to be an evil monkey."Sorry. That episode was on last nite.

[Mr1der]

yeah, well, it sure as hell ain't a VW dunebuggy damnit.

I think I need to build one of those with a 911 turbo motor....

[Mr1der]

and what the hell man, Guss the motor?

I thought we were gonna play a game with a motor named Guss, I'm very disappointed!:mad:

[spec-u-later]

M44

[Nismo_Freak]

Guess this, and what it came in.

[AZhitman]

240Z?

[rico05]

FJ20E

[Megaseth]

S20 from the old GTR skylines....

[Mr1der]

well, it's not a 4.0 from a Jeep that's for sure.

I'm gonna say S20 as well because I've never really seen one and it's not an L motor.

[Nismo_Freak]

S20 from the old GTR skylines....

Werd, S20 from a GC10 Skyline

[Megaseth]

badass little motor. basically a detuned version of the R380s motor. i think JUN actually still makes parts for it, but im not sure. that would be pretty funny walking into a nissan dealership asking for a head gasket for one. however, i've always wanted to walk into a rice shop and ask for a gasket or something the S20 in my 2000GTR. they'd probly go "uh, its sARRR20 and the 2000GTRs have an RB26....duh"
