So im cruising youtube, and come across a vid of a Skyline with a LS1 in it, and of course all the nay sayers of the import world come out bashing it, but one person kinda got ot me here's what he said:

This Jerkoff: the LS1 isn't a superior motor - it's old technology. It is a good motor, but definitely not superior. If you believe it is superior, then might be time to do a little research...

So I asked : Then what in your mind is a superior motor, what is a non old school motor. the Rotary? yeah, with bad emissions, and no torque, the W-motor? nothing more thenpistons raised and schooched over some more. a turbine car? lets not even go there. In the end, the basics ofmotors show that they are all the same

Jerkoff: Not sure what you're babbling on about with re to rotary and the likes. I never mentioned them.

Superior would be harnessing new technology not trying to bandage old technology.

Great V8 motor is the 1UZFE - read up about that motor, it is *superior* to the LS1.

I think you should do a little reading about both motors.........


So of course I do, and I find.....NOTHING superior about this motor.

ME: So, your saying belt driven cams in a V8, steel connecting rods, and hypereutetic pistons makes this motor superior? The only thing making power in the 4.0 is the compression. The LS1 is 40lbs. lighter, and makes at a MINIMUM 67 more ft. lbs. of torque. So how is this over weight, underpowered, and under litre engine superior, cause the cams are on top? oh yes, driven by a belt, which has to be replaced more then a timing chain. Sorry, but your engine is old technology.
Both our motors have 6 bolt mains, are made of aluminum, and are fuel injected....so now, what makes it so superior. OHC and DOHC dates back as far as OHV's, such as Delage Peugeot, ALfa Romeo, and so on. None of this is new technology anymore, things are jsut refined. If you say it's because its DOHC...well im sorry to say it makes not difference, except its more a PITA compared to a single cam... ask me how I know.


I just dont understand where these guys come out of the woodworks, and shoot their mouth without reading into it....and they are the ones preaching to do some research. Both our motors have been on the 10 best engine list, only ours was on there 2nd year out, it took Toyota 9 years to get there with the 1UZ ( both were on it in 98') Do they think its some holy motor because its one of the few V8 Japan has produced in a performance car?
