I have been searching the internet to find a top 100 engine list with no luck, I would like to see where the 4.0 lexus would be on the list. Thanks if anyone knows where to find it.

 

1st place goes to the 1uz-fe sc400 engine thank you very much

 

the 92 specifically

 

Gurented that the turbo'd 13b 93-95 rx7 engine is no where to be found on that list.
Other then that useless info,I have know useful info,but if you do find that list let us know.

 

at least the 1uz-fe is the most reliable among them all.

 

WARD's 10 best engines does this every year. You might check older listings to find the 4 liter. Do a google.com for Ward's 10 best engine and then put what year you want.

"Since its inception in 1995, Ward's 10 Best Engines has evolved into an influential gauge of powertrain engineering and development prowess."

Matter of fact I found this...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward's_10_Best_Engines#1994

The 4 liter is on there

 

So much for a 100 best engine list but a 10 best helps, I was actually on wikipedia and wards auto. world site, but couldnt find a range of years, thanks for the help, I see the 1uz motor on there and also more credit for the 98 up, makes me feel good about investing time and money in my 95 sc400. I am getting a magnaflow 2into1 converter and 2 stainless XL series magnaflow mufflers installed on 8-8-06 will report on sound quality and perf. increase. Ron

 

In all seriousness, for building up, cost savings, the LS1 Vette engine tops the list, end of story...

For serious cost savings, reliablitiy, durability the 1uz-fe's have got to be right at the top of that list....

The straight six banger toyota motors are basically indestructable too....

 

There are only a few engines out there that I fully respect.

-LS-series engine (LS1, LS2, LS6, etc).
-1UZ-FE/2UZ-FE
-2jz-gte
-K20/k24 engines from Honda

The Chevy 350? You have got to be kidding... (of course it is on that 1998 Ward list too... )

 

I respect the rotaries as its such a departure from conventional design, and to make so much power with so little displacement from the factory, regardless of how fidgity it is. Another favorite is the 5L V12 from the 8 series BMW. I love that engine

 

LT5 DOHC 32V V-8 -- 24 hours at an average speed of 175.8mph.

Also grab a copy of "The Heart of the Beast". The tests done to that motor to ensure durability were insane.

 

Yes the LS1 350 Chevy, alluminum block V8 motor that easiy puts out 400whp N/A with just a set of cams....The potential for those engines are crazy, and they probably weight less then the 1uz-fe 4.0 liter motors....No I am not kidding you...I love the import motors but these LS1 engines have made a believer out of me... Many people cringe at the thought of a Chevy American Muscle V8 motor, well keep cringing because you really don't know what you are cringing about...These are not the old iron block 350 Chevy motors of the past...

Best bang for the buck as far as I can tell with almost limitless potential....God forbid you turbo an LS1 or supercharge one..

Still love my smoothe idling 1UZ-FE motor, don't get me wrong...

 

I'm a Ford guy, so I woulda said the 351w (its whats in my 66 mustang fastback)
