True, but JDM still has the RB26 and 2JZ on their side. Those engines will make any v8 worried.

not...really

Just about any 2 Liter+ engine out now has good performance capabilities...if you tune it right.

You can slap a turbo on almost anything nowadays and the right tune and get 600+hp. There is nothing special about the RB or 2J motor that's worth bragging about. They're cheapo cast iron blocks with turbos strapped to them....End of story.

They are easily capable of 1000+ hp reliably because their cast iron block. They are still remarkable engines, not to even mention the natural balance of an I6.

Almost every company makes cast iron blocks capable of 1000hp, you just don't here people flying off at the mouth every 20 seconds about it .

Reliability is in the hands of the owner and tuner. I can make a normal engine with low power unreliable real quick with the wrong tune and fuel.
