It apparently has an incredibly beefy bottom end, and takes boost or revs (or some of both) really well. I could be wrong, though.

In the 1930s, MG sold cars with an 1100cc ohc six, such as the Magna, Magnette, and the K3 Magnette supercharged race car. It was a seriously fast race car in the day. This range of MG cars shared lots of parts with the Wolseley Hornet, also an ohc six, of 1300cc
You should talk about the Ford SHO V6, the only full sized "car" motor designed & manufactured by Yahama. Sounds amazing and runs some serious numbers for a 3L 6-cyl from the 80's.
Make about smallers V8! For example in Brazil we had an old model from 60's made by Simca called Chambord, a beautiful sedan powered by a Ford Flathead V8 2.35l with 88hp only. It mades 0 to 100 kph over than 25 seconds
even if the displacement is the same more cylinders will typically make more power, because the combustion strokes overlap more creating a more consistent output and smoother low rpm driveability, hence more torque. You have to consider the extra counterbalancing required with certain v-bank motors and especially v6's (they are inherently unbalanced compared to a v8 and other configurations) which adds more weight. A small high revving straight six is an excellent design with decent balance so can use a lighter crankshaft and flywheel, hence why skylines supras etc are so legendary, because a smooth running engine is crucial to making big power.
I had mazda k8 in my mx-3. such a brilliant engine. roll into a roundabout in 5th gear at 5-10mph without any sign of stalling. absolutely bulletproof. with examples doing 1million miles. ontop of that, there was a 2.0l and 2.5l version, in the 323f and mx-6 respectively. such a smooth engine. they are brilliant when turbo'd too, which is a pretty common mod
in the mx-3 aswell, was that lovely rear suspension. combined with the fairly short wheelbase, and heavy engine(for the size/weight of the chassis, imo) the front end so planted, you can throw them around corners and get oversteer. which is VERY nice for a front wheel drive
Another MX6 owner here. I absolutely love the noise it makes. Such a sweet sounding engine, and deceptively quick. No shortage of get-up-and-go, even with just the KL-DE.
Lexus IS200, BMW M20 engines. Those were two I knew from the back of the head. (And the Smart Brabus as you mentioned in the video) Anyway, nice video.
what's the point of making a movie about shit? only interesting is rare V4 and boxer... large four-cylinder engines are manufactured by companies that can't build a decent six-cylinder engine. 1800 ccm is the maximum capacity for me for a four-cylinder engine. 2000 ccm is a beautiful capacity for a six-cylinder engine. And large four-cylinder engines can be used in machines and in everything that you don't need a work culture.
@@xot80 So Porsche can't build a decent 6-cylinder engine? Porsche made a 3 liter 4 and put it in the 944! so read up on the facts before you make a stupid fucking comment moron!
If you like small displacement, engines with lots of cylinders, you'll love what Ferrari started with. The '47 125 S came with a 1.5 litre engine. Only it was a V12 - with a bore of only 55mm. It made around 120 hp @ 6800 rpm and only weighed in at 1400 lb.
I think I saw the engine online. I personally want to see a high RPM sub 2.0 liter inline six, but I doubt it will come to pass as it would be expensive and probably put out 300 HP at most Naturally aspirated. It might have an interesting exhaust note thought.
Yes X20i has an inline engine but It's an inline 4 cylinder, not 6. I'm just saying it was cool that BMW made small displacement inline 6 engines before the year 2000. Today it's rare for an engine to have less than 3 liters and keep all of 6 cylinders.
I actually used to have the first engine on this list, at least the 2.7L version, in my old 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. Hands down the most reliable engine I've had thus far. It wasn't particularly powerful or efficient, but it did love to sing. That whole car was underrated as crap. Jeep-like offroad capability (my dad tested that rather thoroughly before it was handed down to me), decent 0-60 time for such a deceptively heavy vehicle (about 9 seconds), incredible reliability, all the storage space of a proper SUV, a manual transmission, and luxuries like automatic climate control and automatic volume controls (increases radio volume automatically as speed increases), all in a $20,000 package. That thing was incredible. If it hadn't been totaled by hail, I would still have it now.
I used to own an XL-7, though it was crippled in the Indonesian market by using the H25A engine instead of the international H27A. Still, although underpowered, it does sing pretty good.
Remember the time I test-drove a Series1 Vitara the last year before that model was replaced by the more rounded Series2 here in Australia, but unlike previous years this short wheel base 2-door had the 2.4L V6 from the wagon & it's lighter weight certainly made it a quick small 4x4!
Yeah, they sound awesome. Very smooth engines too. Plenty of low end torque. Can pull from 1000rpm in 5th gear really easily. My dad has one, on a recent trip to Wales, doing between 65 and 80, we averaged 41.2mpg. Which is absolutely amazing
Small displacement six cylinder: All the power of a four cylinder with the fuel consumption of a normal sized six. Source: I drive a VQ20 Maxima. But a small six in a light chassis is awesome regardless.
I know it's a little overdue but your videos are so much better with you speaking rather than having to read everything and missing the actual content!
The mitsubishi FTO, the car everyone wanted but couldnt get their hands on it, 2.0l Mivec V6, made good sounds and really good power, chassis was fantastic and you could play it on grand tourismo. It was unfortunately import only and people just ended up finding better things to import
Between my dad and I, we have owned a few Triumphs with that engine in different guises. My dad had the 1.6 Vitesse. It was so sweet. They then bored it out to 2.0 for the updated Vitesse and the GT6. It was then stroked out to 2.5 and that went in the Tr6 which was of course fuel injected. All lovely engines. The 1.6 Vitesse was smooth but only had 70bhp The 2.0 Vitesse was much better as it had more power and revved freely. The 2.5 didn’t rev quite as well but had more torque and with fuel injection absolutely flew. The one I drove was up to 170bhp as it had been tuned. Either way they are all lovely engines that sound absolutely fantastic - amongst the nicest I have heard in my opinion.
The Buick 225 V6, the "Dauntless V6", and it's cousin the 231 Buick V6, are fantastic motors. When I was a kid, we'd go to Pismo Beach, Calif, where my Dad used to drag race his 1970 Kaiser Jeep Cj-5 w/a 225 V6 bored .060 over, Hooker headers, Carter 4bbl carb on an Offenhauser highrise, and he'd dog walk chevy small blocks all day long....
Holden got caught behind in the race to produce a new model here in Australia, and so they quickly bought up the patterns for those old Buick V6's, installed a balance shaft, and have stuck them in every commodore since the early '90s, albeit with updates to the induction, etc to meet emissions, power requirements. They may have been good in the 60's but they're crap by today's standards, they leak and break constantly. Ford have stayed with their straight 6 for about 50 years now, and it remains a fantastic engine in all of it's incarnations. People will bag the BA, BF model Barra 6 (the first twin cams) for breaking rods, but that's because they are winding the boost up to ludicrous levels. I run a 4.0l L6 in my F100, and will eventually change it out for an FG Barra turbo, easy cheap 400hp, with plenty of headroom, and more power and torque than the 5.0l V8 the truck had originally. Oh, and some guys I knew tried to build a turbo Holden/Buick V6 for a sandrail, and had nothing but problems, it ended up being a money pit.
The smallest production 6 cylinder I know of is the 1930's Wolseley Hornet which has an issue, single overhead cam 6 cylinder of 1271cc. I think they made about 45-50bhp but were very tunable.
The GT6 engine was the same engine as fitted to the Triumph Vitesse (an equally gawjus looking Triumph) and the bigger Bond Equipe's as well as the Triumph 2000 with Triumph developing a 2.5 NA and mechanical injection for the bigger Triumph 2.5's from it with initial thoughts to fit the 2.5 into the Stag and some of the upcoming concept cars, the engine survived quite well as it became the powerplant in Rover's 2.3 and 2.6 Rover SD1's with a slightly changed head and rocker cover no one suspected either hehe Triumph had also courted the idea that Reliant might have been tempted into going with the 2.6 straight six for the future iterations of the Scimitar but Reliant dropped the big muscle car Scimitar in favour of sticking with Ford engines adopting the CVH 1.6 for its new SS small sports cars.
OK,As a JDM fan. There are 2 small V6 I want to mention. 1st, Mitsibishi 6A12, it has many varient. But the MIVEC one which sit inside FTO GPX or GPR produce 200ps in N/A form and twinturbo version in Galant which can pump 240 horses from it. The 2nd one from Mazda , have you guys ever heard of Lantis Type R? (Hatch back 323). The infamous KF-ZE N/A 6 banger can also make reasonable 170ps.
@@davidrobinson3148 2JZ(toyota) RB25-30ET(nissan), L20 series from nissan, cummins turbo straight 6 are unkillable, S50-S54 series from BMW. All handle tons of power and do it reliably.Now ur turn what does the straight 5 bring to the table.
Probably the smallest 6-cylinder was the late 1920s Amilcar C6 at 1100cc (60bhp), but there were plenty of others - Triumph Scorpion, Wolseley Hornet, etc from the early 1930s that weren't much bigger.
If VisioRacer wants to include yet more small sixes, I recommend a look at British cars of the 1930s, when a rash of such engines were produced by manufacturers seeking a cheap way to give their cars refinement and smoothness. Look for MG Magnas and Magnettes from that era, especially. The supercharged 1087cc OHC six in the competition K-type Magnette produced a stonking 115 bhp - in 1933, for crying out loud!
Six cylinder is the best engine sound to my ears. Sure, not as lumpy as a V8, but a beautiful smooth growl that only sounds better the higher the RPM becomes. Even some very boring low output 6 cylinder road cars can have very nice exhaust sound with a good exhaust system design. I believe all engines should be built with cylinders in multiples of 3. 3cyl, 6cyl, 9cyl, 12cyl etc.
Two Bandit 400 motors for a 800cc (48 cu. in.) 8-cyl 32V with 8 carbs that redlines at 13,500 hauling 198kg (430lb)dry. 120HP @ 12000rpm. Bore 56mm stroke 40mm. ... 4000rpm is considered 'idling'. Neither 6-cyl or a car but very small factory displacement nonetheless.
Which is better for balance? A V6 a flat 6 a Vr6 or a V6? could you compile a list for advantages and disadvantages? ( P.S. The reason for which i am asking for this is because my uncle doesn't believe me when i say that the v6 layout is the worst configuration of the 6 cylinders engines)
I think straight 6 is the best, they are naturally perfectly balanced, that's why a lot of large diesel engines are still straight 6s. V6s are not naturally balanced (they have to be balanced otherwise, to be as vibration-free as possible) and a VR6 is the same as a V6 (in this respect), just with a very small V-angle. When it comes to flat engines, I don't know, I think they are also naturally balanced. Keep in mind that there are two types of flat engines, only one can be called a boxer. I'm not sure if they are both equally balanced.
I had a Triumph GT6+ that I was going to restore. It was a abandoned project stuffed away in pieces for 30 years. It had a built high compression 2L with bigger cam, triple weber carbs on a spitfire manifold with long tube headers. I wanted to get that car together and running so bad just to hear that little 6 scream. Unfortunately, I sold the car to a collector when I figured out how much it was going to take for me to bring that car back to life. Sweet little car
Alfa Romeo 890t F1 engine, 1.5 litres of displacement, turbo charged and using carburetors instead of fuel injection like the rest of the f1 engines. When refueling was banned of the F1 during the 80s, it lost its competitiveness. i.pinimg.com/originals/b3/16/ac/b316ac516f0c72f2fc6d50fca87e1770.jpg
I was always curious why Honda never made a small displacement V6 or I6 at around 2.2L to 2.8L displacement and gave it a 9,500 r.p.m. red limit that produced 130 horsepower/Liter. If the Prelude was still around and Honda still had the balls, I would imagine this would be the route they would go. The closest we ever go to that level of performance was in the C30A and C32B.
Glad to see the Toyota 1G-GE mentioned, but its variants the 1G-GZE and 1G-GTE are definitely worth a highlight next time around (if you can find audio for them!).
Kuddlesworth NA I agree... I loved playing Gran Turismo 4 with the Spitfire 😂, but I also wished I could find the GT6 in some decent racing game... The GT6 somehow looks even sexier than the Spitfire...
I love both but the MGB GT is my favourite considering I own one. It's a black 1972 Chrome bumper MGB GT. Very nice. It has a well tuned Rover K series engine in it, the VVC model with individual throttle bodies on it and a custom ECU. Also a Ford Type 9 5 speed gearbox and a very beefy clutch for a 4 cylinder. Other then that a bunch of engineering to get it to fit and some other stuff like aluminium fuel tank and radiator. One of my favourite parts of the car are the wheel which are original steel disc wheels I managed to find on ebay. They where in very bad condition but I had them made pretty looking. I've driven quite a few cars but my MG is pretty special. More fun then anything I've driven. More then fast enough as well and very comfortable. I would like to do some break modifications and some light suspension work but that's not really necessary as it handles very well already. Needs a little body work done to it but nothign major, paint is really crap though but I like that as I can drive it and not worry too much about damaging it further. MGB's are really nice but in the UK with the rain it's a bit of a problem with the soft tops leaking inside and rusting the floors. I much rather the GT look plus you get a massive boot for holidays, you can comfortably sleep in the passenger seat as well.
We had the same engine and chassis in a Triumph 2000mk2. It died going over Lewis Pass in New Zealand on a hot summer's day (40C) in 1973. Cracked head (and those SU carbs were forever going wonky)
Three cylinders and multiples of Three cylinders give the Best exhaust sound in my very biased opinion.I like the sound of V6s the best as the exhaust manifold is already split. The engine which caused LOVE these exhaust sound was old design Chevy inline 6 built shortly after WWII end up in the Australian Holden cars.A very much modified version was used in Speedcar racing in Australia in the 1950s. With mostly hand made speed equipment.I remember seeing and HEARING these cars race in 1955 when I was 7 years old and I fell in love with that SOUND.😊😊😊
Yes. I love that Mazda V6, it was rev happy and smooth. A friend borrowed my car and said it felt like it had a motorcycle engine with how fast it git to redline.
Honda RC165 :) Motorbike enigne, inline6, 247cc ... or other of the RC engine series :) Soooo tiny pistons, valves, just a clockwork :) btw that Vitara! lol, ... small offroader and sounds like a true sportscar :)
Firtly, thanks for a great video. I really enjoy the information you share and the great narrative in the video which is very professional. We had a Merc 220 and a 250, was a very smooth straight 6. Especially the smaller one. And it hauled the hulk of steel along willingly. Not small sixes by standard but fine machinery.
That’s so true ! Haha My Rover 75 always had something wrong here or there.. Last failure was the clutch slave cylinder. But the KV6 always worked flawlessly !
@@ClaudeColmars I had a MG ZS 180 drove fantastically. However it was obviously a Friday afternoon job when they where applying rust treatment to my tank, top of the tank developed a hole at the base of the filler neck, road muck got in and got pulled through the whole system. Never ran right after that
My 2.0 liter pushrod Ford V6 at 90hp in the German Ford Capri red lined at about 5800 rpm and would cruise down the bahn at 150kph all day long. Top speed was about 185.
In the case of the non-production cars, we have all the V6 engines of the 80s F1 turbo era (Honda, Tag-Porsche, Ford, Ferrari and Renault). 1.5 litres of displacement. Also from 1961 to 1966 s the maximum displacement of the engines were 1.5. During those years Ferrari competed with 178 and 188 (V6 engines both of them).
Gotta love those F1 engines. Even today, it's hard to imagine getting 1300 hp from a 1.5 turbo - of course, it needed about 80 psi of boost to get there. :-P
It's actually not THAT hard to pull so much power out of small engine, reliability is only issue then. With machining precision and materials used in F1 it's only a point of meeting regulations (currently they would do 2k+ easily for qual if not for the engine count throughout the season). Crude 8l top fuel engines are now doing over 10k hp ezpz.
Inline 6 and Flat 6 engines really do have a mechanical advantage over less cylinders.. V6 maybe not so much. A 2.0L Inline 6 would be a lovely engine for a daily driver or weekend car for the average enthusiast.
There was the MG K-type and L-type which both used a 1087cc inline-6. There's quite a few pre-WW2 British cars that used small displacement inline-6's.
The mid to late 80's and a bit beyond that, the Chevy 2.8ltr. V6 was, and remains being a strong running normally aspirated V6's out there ! Not to mention, more affordable, and more commonly available !
Uriah Siner I live in Cali you just gotta find a shop to do it and just don’t report anything to the dmv 🤷🏽♀️ before I had my c350 I had a Mercedes Benz c230k it was super slow so we decided to stick a e55 amg engine in it it was fun but with gas prices in Cali i sold it to my friend but best part is i was paying insurance for a c230k which is super cheap compared to a amg
I was just thinking how that little Mazda six cylinder would have sounded in my NB Miata. One of the only letdowns is the econobox four cylinder sound rather than a small six purr.
Another good one would be Mazda's KF-ZE found in the Lantis Type R. It is a 2.0 V6 that produces 170 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. It is also a very light engine, at just over 120 kg.
5:48 that’s not a 1.6 v6 btw, the one after most likely isn’t either. And all the others could even be intake manifolds... these engines are really really rare
NothingButRye love those cars, stylish and with a cool sound? How is it on fuel economy? They've kinda become rare in my country now, we used to get many from japan
The 6A12 is a revvy engine, but you can find the 6A13TT out of the Legnum/Galant VR4 and drop it right in. Take the pint sized TD03 turbos off (get rid of the manifolds as well because bugger all else bolts up to them) and fit TD04-16G turbos off the Subaru Forrester or IHI VF35 turbos off the Subaru Impreza STi (former is cheaper, latter is better), then you get boost past 5500 RPM, which is where the TD03s would sign off. The problem is the not so good aftermarket support for the 6A or 6G engines compared to the 4G63T, so finding decent parts is a bit hard. Also crank walk is still a problem.
This is what i like.
Small displacement, short stroke, V6.
Probably the best sounding engines in the history of mankind.

I like the idea of small displacement engines and inline 6 cylinders. I appreciate this this list.
If you like small displacement, engines with lots of cylinders, you'll love what Ferrari started with. The '47 125 S came with a 1.5 litre engine. Only it was a V12 - with a bore of only 55mm. It made around 120 hp @ 6800 rpm and only weighed in at 1400 lb.
I think I saw the engine online.
I personally want to see a high RPM sub 2.0 liter inline six, but I doubt it will come to pass as it would be expensive and probably put out 300 HP at most Naturally aspirated.
It might have an interesting exhaust note thought.

I drive a 2.0 inline 6 by triumph and it's brutal
Nice, whats the redline mate?
Shooter McGavin a tr6 is around 5000rpm
But it’s a 2.5
brutal??? it can barely spin skinny tire on wet grass...fun,cool,awsome yes! ...brutal no
Alberto Hassan The very early Triumph Vitesse6 had a 1600cc straight 6 under the bonnet. Later on, Triumph 2litre was fitted.
My friend had a BMW e39 520i, that little 2.0 liter inline six was pretty cool.
X20i is an Inline engine
its common
This engine names m20b20.
it's a M52B20 (maybe TU)
M52s generally nice and smooth engines
Yes X20i has an inline engine but It's an inline 4 cylinder, not 6. I'm just saying it was cool that BMW made small displacement inline 6 engines before the year 2000. Today it's rare for an engine to have less than 3 liters and keep all of 6 cylinders.
I actually used to have the first engine on this list, at least the 2.7L version, in my old 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. Hands down the most reliable engine I've had thus far. It wasn't particularly powerful or efficient, but it did love to sing. That whole car was underrated as crap. Jeep-like offroad capability (my dad tested that rather thoroughly before it was handed down to me), decent 0-60 time for such a deceptively heavy vehicle (about 9 seconds), incredible reliability, all the storage space of a proper SUV, a manual transmission, and luxuries like automatic climate control and automatic volume controls (increases radio volume automatically as speed increases), all in a $20,000 package. That thing was incredible. If it hadn't been totaled by hail, I would still have it now.
I used to own an XL-7, though it was crippled in the Indonesian market by using the H25A engine instead of the international H27A. Still, although underpowered, it does sing pretty good.

Remember the time I test-drove a Series1 Vitara the last year before that model was replaced by the more rounded Series2 here in Australia, but unlike previous years this short wheel base 2-door had the 2.4L V6 from the wagon & it's lighter weight certainly made it a quick small 4x4!
Jaguar had the AJ20, which is a 2.1L V6 used in the X-type.
Stephen Armsworth They sound very nice from the ones I've heard
Yeah, they do sound very nice.
Yeah, they sound awesome. Very smooth engines too. Plenty of low end torque. Can pull from 1000rpm in 5th gear really easily. My dad has one, on a recent trip to Wales, doing between 65 and 80, we averaged 41.2mpg. Which is absolutely amazing
Sometimes I debate whether I should not have chosen the 2.1 or 2.5 over my 2.2D, but I do enjoy the torque.
Small displacement six cylinder: All the power of a four cylinder with the fuel consumption of a normal sized six. Source: I drive a VQ20 Maxima. But a small six in a light chassis is awesome regardless.
1.6L V6 in the project one!
Najimu なじむ let's see if it makes it to production
post the video project please
I know it's a little overdue but your videos are so much better with you speaking rather than having to read everything and missing the actual content!
The mitsubishi FTO, the car everyone wanted but couldnt get their hands on it, 2.0l Mivec V6, made good sounds and really good power, chassis was fantastic and you could play it on grand tourismo. It was unfortunately import only and people just ended up finding better things to import
Between my dad and I, we have owned a few Triumphs with that engine in different guises.
My dad had the 1.6 Vitesse.
It was so sweet. They then bored it out to 2.0 for the updated Vitesse and the GT6. It was then stroked out to 2.5 and that went in the Tr6 which was of course fuel injected.
All lovely engines. The 1.6 Vitesse was smooth but only had 70bhp
The 2.0 Vitesse was much better as it had more power and revved freely. The 2.5 didn’t rev quite as well but had more torque and with fuel injection absolutely flew. The one I drove was up to 170bhp as it had been tuned.
Either way they are all lovely engines that sound absolutely fantastic - amongst the nicest I have heard in my opinion.
The Buick 225 V6, the "Dauntless V6", and it's cousin the 231 Buick V6, are fantastic motors. When I was a kid, we'd go to Pismo Beach, Calif, where my Dad used to drag race his 1970 Kaiser Jeep Cj-5 w/a 225 V6 bored .060 over, Hooker headers, Carter 4bbl carb on an Offenhauser highrise, and he'd dog walk chevy small blocks all day long....
Holden got caught behind in the race to produce a new model here in Australia, and so they quickly bought up the patterns for those old Buick V6's, installed a balance shaft, and have stuck them in every commodore since the early '90s, albeit with updates to the induction, etc to meet emissions, power requirements. They may have been good in the 60's but they're crap by today's standards, they leak and break constantly. Ford have stayed with their straight 6 for about 50 years now, and it remains a fantastic engine in all of it's incarnations. People will bag the BA, BF model Barra 6 (the first twin cams) for breaking rods, but that's because they are winding the boost up to ludicrous levels. I run a 4.0l L6 in my F100, and will eventually change it out for an FG Barra turbo, easy cheap 400hp, with plenty of headroom, and more power and torque than the 5.0l V8 the truck had originally. Oh, and some guys I knew tried to build a turbo Holden/Buick V6 for a sandrail, and had nothing but problems, it ended up being a money pit.
The smallest production 6 cylinder I know of is the 1930's Wolseley Hornet which has an issue, single overhead cam 6 cylinder of 1271cc. I think they made about 45-50bhp but were very tunable.
Honda's RC166 has a ~250cc straight six engine.
Imagine two suzuki K6As merged together in a V6. That would be awesome.
Ive always wanted to see two Honda F20c mounted together to form a 4 Liter V8
Michael Hawkins it even better
The GT6 engine was the same engine as fitted to the Triumph Vitesse (an equally gawjus looking Triumph) and the bigger Bond Equipe's as well as the Triumph 2000 with Triumph developing a 2.5 NA and mechanical injection for the bigger Triumph 2.5's from it with initial thoughts to fit the 2.5 into the Stag and some of the upcoming concept cars, the engine survived quite well as it became the powerplant in Rover's 2.3 and 2.6 Rover SD1's with a slightly changed head and rocker cover no one suspected either hehe Triumph had also courted the idea that Reliant might have been tempted into going with the 2.6 straight six for the future iterations of the Scimitar but Reliant dropped the big muscle car Scimitar in favour of sticking with Ford engines adopting the CVH 1.6 for its new SS small sports cars.
OK,As a JDM fan. There are 2 small V6 I want to mention. 1st, Mitsibishi 6A12, it has many varient. But the MIVEC one which sit inside FTO GPX or GPR produce 200ps in N/A form and twinturbo version in Galant which can pump 240 horses from it. The 2nd one from Mazda , have you guys ever heard of Lantis Type R? (Hatch back 323). The infamous KF-ZE N/A 6 banger can also make reasonable 170ps.
Got to love the RB20DET! Turbo straight 6 with high rpm, super-strong conrods, and father of the mighty RB26DETT!
I don't know what it's called but BMW always had a 2.0 inline six in the 320, 520 etc. It produced around 150 hp and sounds really nice.
I used to have a Ford Granada 2.3 v6 and it was a beast with a lovely note or growl!
It's far from being among my favorite engines, but that 1.6L Mitsubishi V6 could've remained competitive against 2.0L 4-cyls.
Agree. Had a manual one many years ago. Was great fun.
For some of the smallest v6’s these really really do have a necessity to rev out all that power for extended periods of time 😂
I was about to comment about the Maserati engine and you did it at the very end :P. Nice video man, keep it up
The inline 6 is the best engine configuration. Change my mind.
Javi V12, it’s just two of them 😆
Yes it is
Inline 5 is the best engine configuration. Change my mind.
@@davidrobinson3148 2JZ(toyota) RB25-30ET(nissan), L20 series from nissan, cummins turbo straight 6 are unkillable, S50-S54 series from BMW. All handle tons of power and do it reliably.Now ur turn what does the straight 5 bring to the table.
@Angel Valdez agreed that 4.0 deserves a mention
The first engine not on this list that came to mind are the Mitsubishi 6A12 in the FTO GP version R (from Gran Turismo)
What did the Mazda MX-6 have? I know it was a V6 but I don't know what CC
Chris Henry Mazda made 1.8 and 2.0 V6 👍 I think a 2.5 as well. It all depends on what country your in.
Prodriver33 they aren't very common which is quite sad really I'm quite a fan of them. I thought they did a 1.8L version of it too
Why the Suzuki h20A sound like a bmw m20 engine???
I think the Alfa 6C 1500 from the 1920s deserves mention as, in supercharged form, it put out about 84 BHP which was good going for 1487cc back then.
It still is to be honest.
Probably the smallest 6-cylinder was the late 1920s Amilcar C6 at 1100cc (60bhp), but there were plenty of others - Triumph Scorpion, Wolseley Hornet, etc from the early 1930s that weren't much bigger.
If VisioRacer wants to include yet more small sixes, I recommend a look at British cars of the 1930s, when a rash of such engines were produced by manufacturers seeking a cheap way to give their cars refinement and smoothness. Look for MG Magnas and Magnettes from that era, especially. The supercharged 1087cc OHC six in the competition K-type Magnette produced a stonking 115 bhp - in 1933, for crying out loud!
Six cylinder is the best engine sound to my ears. Sure, not as lumpy as a V8, but a beautiful smooth growl that only sounds better the higher the RPM becomes. Even some very boring low output 6 cylinder road cars can have very nice exhaust sound with a good exhaust system design. I believe all engines should be built with cylinders in multiples of 3. 3cyl, 6cyl, 9cyl, 12cyl etc.
9??.. are kidding bro.. ?.. where will you put that 1extra cylinder?.. 😂😂
Anuj Jayant Same place they put the 5th one in 5cylinder engines I guess. Either inline, W, or in assymetrical banks
That H engine at the beginning sounds familiar... Maybe an R34?
BMW E46 320i had a 2.0 liter (later 2.2 liter) Inline 6 N54 if I remember correctly. Great engine to push a bit of boost through.
Two Bandit 400 motors for a 800cc (48 cu. in.) 8-cyl 32V with 8 carbs that redlines at 13,500 hauling 198kg (430lb)dry. 120HP @ 12000rpm. Bore 56mm stroke 40mm. ... 4000rpm is considered 'idling'. Neither 6-cyl or a car but very small factory displacement nonetheless.
I love my H25 Suzuki engine. Sounds decent and has good power. Been pretty reliable as well
That Triumph straight 6 sounds so gorgeous.
Another small 1930s car was the Morris 10-6, a 1378cc side valve six cylinder car of 10 nominal horse power. Sold 1933-5
the mazda 1.8 v6 was also placed in the MX5 in europe
No idea why Mazda would put a 1.8 liter V6 in a front wheel drive car that could be considered a beater car in America.
You barely see any MX-6s.
My mates mx3 did run nicely with the 1.8 6cil. Zero to 60 as quick/slow as a stock 1.3 swift gti :)
Because it sounds awesome and makes it more fun than a boring inline 4
I own MX6
Which is better for balance? A V6 a flat 6 a Vr6 or a V6? could you compile a list for advantages and disadvantages? ( P.S. The reason for which i am asking for this is because my uncle doesn't believe me when i say that the v6 layout is the worst configuration of the 6 cylinders engines)
Agree with you!
Bored Engineer vr6 is the best
I think straight 6 is the best, they are naturally perfectly balanced, that's why a lot of large diesel engines are still straight 6s. V6s are not naturally balanced (they have to be balanced otherwise, to be as vibration-free as possible) and a VR6 is the same as a V6 (in this respect), just with a very small V-angle. When it comes to flat engines, I don't know, I think they are also naturally balanced. Keep in mind that there are two types of flat engines, only one can be called a boxer. I'm not sure if they are both equally balanced.
Here's a video that explains it quite clearly: ua-cam.com/video/YMoDcKXiKME/v-deo.html
Flat-6 (but boxer, not 180deg V) is the best, iirc at 6 pistons it's perfectly balanced, both primary and secondary, just like inline 6 and v-12.
I had a Triumph GT6+ that I was going to restore. It was a abandoned project stuffed away in pieces for 30 years. It had a built high compression 2L with bigger cam, triple weber carbs on a spitfire manifold with long tube headers. I wanted to get that car together and running so bad just to hear that little 6 scream. Unfortunately, I sold the car to a collector when I figured out how much it was going to take for me to bring that car back to life. Sweet little car
10 smallest V8!!
Jizzy Tv Hes already made a vid about that
Jizzy Tv yessssss
Alfa Romeo 890t F1 engine, 1.5 litres of displacement, turbo charged and using carburetors instead of fuel injection like the rest of the f1 engines. When refueling was banned of the F1 during the 80s, it lost its competitiveness.

I was not expecting that last clip, filmed on scenic drive in Auckland. Nice.
Reuben Horsley good eyes bro. I didnt recognize until i saw your comment
I was always curious why Honda never made a small displacement V6 or I6 at around 2.2L to 2.8L displacement and gave it a 9,500 r.p.m. red limit that produced 130 horsepower/Liter. If the Prelude was still around and Honda still had the balls, I would imagine this would be the route they would go. The closest we ever go to that level of performance was in the C30A and C32B.
I would have liked a motor a little more nervous in my Prelude 4ws, thank you for talking about it.
Shrink it a little over a liter, throw i-VTEC on it, and you got a dream engine.
Glad to see the Toyota 1G-GE mentioned, but its variants the 1G-GZE and 1G-GTE are definitely worth a highlight next time around (if you can find audio for them!).
I like that H20A, it would be fun to see one in the back of an old swift, mid engine Suzuki swift 👍
Had an Alfa with a 3litre Busso V6, fantastic engine.
U forgot the V6 engine in the Smart Roadster Brabus 👌
Triumph GT6 is one of the sexiest cars of all time.
It's aaaaaalmost as sexy as the MGB.
Perkelenaattori for me personally the GT6 is sexier
Kuddlesworth NA I agree... I loved playing Gran Turismo 4 with the Spitfire 😂, but I also wished I could find the GT6 in some decent racing game... The GT6 somehow looks even sexier than the Spitfire...
I love both but the MGB GT is my favourite considering I own one. It's a black 1972 Chrome bumper MGB GT. Very nice. It has a well tuned Rover K series engine in it, the VVC model with individual throttle bodies on it and a custom ECU. Also a Ford Type 9 5 speed gearbox and a very beefy clutch for a 4 cylinder. Other then that a bunch of engineering to get it to fit and some other stuff like aluminium fuel tank and radiator. One of my favourite parts of the car are the wheel which are original steel disc wheels I managed to find on ebay. They where in very bad condition but I had them made pretty looking.
I've driven quite a few cars but my MG is pretty special. More fun then anything I've driven. More then fast enough as well and very comfortable. I would like to do some break modifications and some light suspension work but that's not really necessary as it handles very well already. Needs a little body work done to it but nothign major, paint is really crap though but I like that as I can drive it and not worry too much about damaging it further.
MGB's are really nice but in the UK with the rain it's a bit of a problem with the soft tops leaking inside and rusting the floors. I much rather the GT look plus you get a massive boot for holidays, you can comfortably sleep in the passenger seat as well.
We had the same engine and chassis in a Triumph 2000mk2. It died going over Lewis Pass in New Zealand on a hot summer's day (40C) in 1973. Cracked head (and those SU carbs were forever going wonky)
If you do another vid, include the Maserati Biturbo. Engine is 2.5l (2.0l Italian Market) twin turbo v6s. Pretty interesting setup.
Hey! What About M20B20 BMW Engine? Line 6, only 2 liter
Three cylinders and multiples of Three cylinders give the Best exhaust sound in my very biased opinion.I like the sound of V6s the best as the exhaust manifold is already split. The engine which caused LOVE these exhaust sound was old design Chevy inline 6 built shortly after WWII end up in the Australian Holden cars.A very much modified version was used in Speedcar racing in Australia in the 1950s. With mostly hand made speed equipment.I remember seeing and HEARING these cars race in 1955 when I was 7 years old and I fell in love with that SOUND.😊😊😊

And it hauled the hulk of steel along willingly.

But the KV6 always worked flawlessly !
@@ClaudeColmars I had a MG ZS 180 drove fantastically. However it was obviously a Friday afternoon job when they where applying rust treatment to my tank, top of the tank developed a hole at the base of the filler neck, road muck got in and got pulled through the whole system. Never ran right after that
My 2.0 liter pushrod Ford V6 at 90hp in the German Ford Capri red lined at about 5800 rpm and would cruise down the bahn at 150kph all day long. Top speed was about 185.

Nissans RB20 was also in the New Zealand assembled Holden VL Commodore
The mazda MX3, the most slept on fwd sports chassis of the 90's, they were simply and unfortunately out marketed
The mazda v6 and Mitsubishi v6 is my fav
especially the tiny cat 1.6litre
In the case of the non-production cars, we have all the V6 engines of the 80s F1 turbo era (Honda, Tag-Porsche, Ford, Ferrari and Renault). 1.5 litres of displacement. Also from 1961 to 1966 s the maximum displacement of the engines were 1.5. During those years Ferrari competed with 178 and 188 (V6 engines both of them).
Gotta love those F1 engines. Even today, it's hard to imagine getting 1300 hp from a 1.5 turbo - of course, it needed about 80 psi of boost to get there. :-P
It's actually not THAT hard to pull so much power out of small engine, reliability is only issue then. With machining precision and materials used in F1 it's only a point of meeting regulations (currently they would do 2k+ easily for qual if not for the engine count throughout the season).
Crude 8l top fuel engines are now doing over 10k hp ezpz.
Inline 6 and Flat 6 engines really do have a mechanical advantage over less cylinders.. V6 maybe not so much.
A 2.0L Inline 6 would be a lovely engine for a daily driver or weekend car for the average enthusiast.
I see a Visio video and I just hit like automatically
That Alfa Romeo sounds FIRE
The Mitsubishi v6 sounds like a f1 engine, f1 in a budget
The supposed 6a10 in the first start up clip is actually a mivec 6a12, the 2.0 with mitsubishis varient of vtec
There was the MG K-type and L-type which both used a 1087cc inline-6. There's quite a few pre-WW2 British cars that used small displacement inline-6's.
Never saw that Ford Model "Cologne" before. Damn i really like that car.

The mid to late 80's and a bit beyond that, the
Chevy 2.8ltr. V6 was, and remains being a strong running normally aspirated V6's out there !
Not to mention, more affordable, and more commonly available !
Little 6s and 8s are cool IF they make up for less torque with Hp and RPM! Those can be the most fun!

Another good one would be Mazda's KF-ZE found in the Lantis Type R. It is a 2.0 V6 that produces 170 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. It is also a very light engine, at just over 120 kg.
5:48 that’s not a 1.6 v6 btw, the one after most likely isn’t either. And all the others could even be intake manifolds... these engines are really really rare

Mitsubishi 6A12 V6 engine.
NothingButRye love those cars, stylish and with a cool sound? How is it on fuel economy? They've kinda become rare in my country now, we used to get many from japan
The 6A12 is a revvy engine, but you can find the 6A13TT out of the Legnum/Galant VR4 and drop it right in. Take the pint sized TD03 turbos off (get rid of the manifolds as well because bugger all else bolts up to them) and fit TD04-16G turbos off the Subaru Forrester or IHI VF35 turbos off the Subaru Impreza STi (former is cheaper, latter is better), then you get boost past 5500 RPM, which is where the TD03s would sign off. The problem is the not so good aftermarket support for the 6A or 6G engines compared to the 4G63T, so finding decent parts is a bit hard. Also crank walk is still a problem.
