Best 8 cylinder engine in the world

17L/100km is exelent!!!!!
(yeah right)
the LS1 isnt the only engine that gets good power and fuel economy from tuning!
my S15 was running 12s very mild tuning 600ks out of a 60lt tank, 300hp, over 500nm of torque out of a 2lt.
i used to beat my mates boosted vxss.
he claimed to have 500hp before he got CHOPPED.

A 400hp LS2 monaro can get over 500km per full tank.

As for beating the SS, your main advantage is weight. Try running him (the SS) with several very large friends stuffed strategically over the car.

LS1's have been known to run deep 6 sec quarter mile, theres even a LS1 in australia running very low 7 secs. Whats the fastest time for an s15 (or even a mighty GTR)? The fastest NA LS1 have even achieved a time of low 9 sec again whats the fastest NA nissan or honda?

Theres plenty of very potent cars (LS1) running around the country. Hell even a lightly moddend (tune, exhaust and cold air) LS1 can achieve that time (high stall to cement it). If I wanted to achieve that time (or even s15) I would have to folk out far far more money on mods. Even getting 300rkw is not an easy task, and mine comes in at 206kw fly stock.

i only spent 4gs on performance mods on S15 to get 300rwhp.
Y would i wanna race with mates in the car?????????????
that is the stupidist thing any one would!
when you got to the track either 1/4 mile or to do laps.
Would you have several large mates in the car????
yeah i thought so!!!!!
car + driver vs car + driver he got eaten as so many other LS1's here in perth that tried to have a go, either of the lights or freeway.
The S15 has way more potential than any commodore!!!!!!
all that my needed for 400rwhp + was a bigger turbo and bigger injectors thats a another 3000.
thats a high 10sec car

A mate of mine's VT SS runs low 12's wth a little over 330hp at the wheels, full interior, everything - and it gets around 12L/100km around town. From the factory Holdens (and most cars) are tuned to run extremely rich. My Adventra does well if it gets 16.5-17L/100km - and it's a stock LS1 pulling a massive 2 tonnes and is AWD.

And on a side note - the fastest N/A LS1 in AUstralia runs 9s AND is engineered and street legal. I'd like to see a GTR, S15, Supra, Honda anything do that.;)

This thread is really going nowhere lol as it has just become a V8 bashing thread as it alway would have on a HONDA forum lol. Do people hate V8's like the LS1 because for the same money they spent on their Civic or Integra they could have had a low 12 or high 11 sec SS or similar, without boost? I know it;s the reason I'll go to a V8 lol. Oh and by the way, no offence to Civic and Interga owners, I drive a Civic and have spent shitloads on it:)

Let's all stop from talking about the modded versions of the engines. And instead concentrate on stock V8s from manufacturers.

That would be nice but the fact is it's horses for courses. The LS1 was designed as an affordable V8 motor, whereas companys like BMW and Mercedes Benz and Audi don't design their motors with the same cost at the level of R+D and sales to the public. I believe there is no ' best' V8, just a lot of good ones;)

comparing tune cars is just stupid..whats the fun out of that?

330hp WAW!!!!
well my mates N14 Ti pulsar has 320Hp at front wheels and it weighs under a tonne.
and it cost under 10grand.
hes not into drag racing but so dont know what time he would get but if a big old cluncky commodore can get low 12s with only 330hp then that make his car a 10 sec car hey.
his beaten 400hp old school cars most of his mates r into them.
(Chargers, Ford Gts, Mustangs)

and stock to stock i pulled a 13.8 in my s15 when it was stock.
best ive seen from a stock 2002 LS1 at drags is 14.6
what a joke!!!!!!
Holden are so poor they couldnt make a descent 6 cyl they had to pay nissan to use the RB30e, and et to use on their commodore.

No it doesnt make his car a low 10 second car, I dont believe 330hp will get him anywhere near the 10s.. Besides, he then needs to add slicks, fix up driveshafts, gearboxes, CVs etc. All because FWD sucks dick, I know - i had a turbo civic.

AND i have dragged our LS1, ran a 13.7 stock, so obviously the driver of that 2002 LS1 cant drive for shiit ;)

330hp in a commodore might get him low 13s.
y do you think 330hp in a car that weighs round 1600kg will be faster than a 990kg car
same power a 600kg less and this car runs low 12s.
tell u wat!!!!
the odds dont look to good for the LS1.

sorry but i forgot 2 mention my mate with the boosted LS1 had to have 2 rebuilds,
1 was a call back from Holden the other was it couldnt handle boost :(

please dont compare NISSANS to HONDAS i think that would be quite insulting to ppl in this forum.

I never said it wouldnt be faster then the LS1, did i? Im just saying i dont see about 250fwkw running 10s..

Tuning kills engines mate, fair enough if holden called an engine back, but the other one is either poor management of the engine or a tuning problem.

EDIT: Ill ***en compare it if I want.. The fact of the matter is, you are still going to break driveshafts on a honda :rolleyes:

Dead set you just have an issue with Holdens, your above statements just make you look like an idiot. Such as the one about Holden drivers not being able to drive, its just a huge generalisation
