You are asking for an engine shutdown my friend.
If you want to talk built up V8 engines. Lets talk about Mugen Honda V8.
Seen here is the engine:
2.85l V8 DOHC
Over 770HP @ 13000rpm
Garrett Turbo.

Id like to see a 'Holden' engine rev past 10,000rpm :thumbsup:
i like holdens and fords i just dont like the biased idiots who drive it.
but you have quite a few things wrong that i'll like to point out
Holden is apart of the GM enterprise.
GM owns Daewoo now.
it is only marked holden now bcause holden is GM Oceania and what ever GM product gets sold in the Oceania region wears a holden badge
same with the vectra's astra's and barlina's
but as i said i do agree the GM V8's are a very cheap affordable V8
but puting them as holden (Australian Tech) is wrong
Audi Diesel V8 Twin TURBO!
800 miles on a full tank
Lets make things a bit clearer Holden is a subsidiary of GM, making them 100% seperate from other GMNA subsidiary's i.e. chevy, pontiac etc. Holden is the major shareholder in Daewoo 40%, GM have also contributed a further 17%. This kind of arrangement is a bit wiered but you have to remember that although Holden is 100% owned by GM, both companies are run separately. Therefore I would say that Holden ownes Daewoo, since its Holden that bought the 40% of shares, not GM.Quote:

Think of it this way, GM NA is shedding subsidaries i.e. oldsmobile while holden is on an increase i.e. daewoo, new engine facility, new design facility and platforms.
Also I agree with you on the engine, the LSx is a GM corporate engine. I was simply making things easier for everyone.

Civic type R, the vette engine is not a racing only engine, its actually on a roadgoing car thats priced far less than any supercars, bmws or even MB. In my view having an effecient engine is not the one with the smallest displacement, but the one with the best L/100km. I also regard torque at low RPMs as better than torque at high RPMs. An engine that can achieve a higher RPM does not necessarily mean better.
Also guess which types of engines are prefered in drag racing applications (very very high hp).
that's something new.Quote:

I don't think a holden engine can be considered good let alone best...

an did soeone mention holden well they had a 6cyl 202 witch they tried to bring up to times in the vk commodore by putting injection on it big failure holden gave up making a 6cyl an commisioned buick to make them a v6 same with the v8s the 5ltr 308 an the odd strockers in the hsvs were the last holden motors ever built holden no longers makes motors
When are people going to get through their heads that Holden are a total piece of **** company?Quote:

Honda have won F1, and Superbikes. Holden's idea of more power is: "errr derrr..need morree powerr...better make engine biggerrr! hand me a VB"
Go back to your depreciated pos VT commodore which is now worth $4K you stain.
