Fuze Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 4 cyl vers v8's , how many of you actually know why the v8 performs betterit's more tourqe in the lower rpm range , plus just having more cidactually the 2.6 is produceing more hp per liter then the ls1 ,set up on a good mpi map I think it boils down to one basic thing: Response and available/useable power. The V8 has it through the whole rev band and at different throttle positions, the 4cyl has to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, an SOHC, TBI, distributor-ignited G54B fan is complaining about the old tech in an LS motor....? The motor was brand new in '97, the only thing it shares with an SBC is the bore size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) That's one way to ruing a car. Put an LS in it. That's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it...although we traditionally don't try to put down fellow Starquest owners around here. I for one do everything I can to help keep these turds on the road, thus, I support anybody else that does the same. I'm also a big fan of the G54B, but props to those who make it happen outside the box. Let's keep in mind that there's a single Starquest owner out there that has been published more times than all the rest of us combined, carries corporate sponsorhsips that the rest of us would kill to have, and has done more than anyone to keep our cars from being a fleeting memory from the hair-band era. These are facts...not opinion. His profile name is Convette...and I'm trying to remember what kind of blasphemic motor he's running...oh that's right...it's an LS.

NikoFab Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) If that's the recipe for ruin...then crank the oven to 350 and give me an apron. Kiss the cook beeches! Edited May 6, 2015 by NikoFab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I like the G54B. It's a good engine when done right. MPI makes it alot better. But having said that, my next SQ is gonna be a swap car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Why do so many people hate pushrods? I don't understand it. I personally have always thought it was outdated engine design. But never hated them. But one can't argue about the longevity of those push rod designed engines. The Chevy v8, talk about lasting forever. I've seen trucks with darn near 400 thousand miles on them, still original engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeph_tsi Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 wait, is it still ruing if its a jz swap? Not sure, no pushrods, but still probably not as advanced as the g54 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
