There should be a 4 cyl LEGENDS series next. Go into detail about those SR20's, Honda B, K, and F series, 4G63, the screaming 4A-GE, and don't forget the boxers!
I personally don't enjoy the sound of most 4cyl engines. Honda engines ALL sound terrible and I often want to follow these straight piped Civics to their grocery store parking lot meetup and ask them "Do you genuinely believe your car sounds good?". That being said, some sound amazing. 2.0TSI sounds amazing, the Nisan SR20, the 4G63 and a few more. But as well, why would I want a big V8 that gets 10mpg and only makes 350hp? When a few bolt-ons, a proper dyno tune and quality fuel in a Turbo-4 can do the same while still getting 30mpg+?
I'm in favor of what you're saying I had a Volkswagen Corrado and a Jetta and I just feel in full support of you even though I have Honda's to that for bangers are easy to tune soup up and a supercharger Turbo Charge and I feel there's nothing wrong with that and we need a lower gas mileage and Power
@@blackericdenice Because Mustangs are heavy as shit. That's why I think they're stupid. If they could've found a way to shave about 400 - 500 pounds off the car it would be cool.
My brother's got a little manual transmission Nissan pickup and it's absolutely fun as hell However I got a 93 Impreza L-series that I have to fix and can't even turn it on until I put in a battery
When I saw that happen I just didn’t think of it as an AMG car anymore. Such a shame. They should’ve just done a turbo or supercharged v6 at very least
I will never hate on any car purely based on how many cylinders it has. I've seen plenty of riced out v8s, and plenty of clean 4 bangers. However, my engine of choice would be the good ole V8. I like them for their naturally aggressive sound, low end torque, and ability to hit big power numbers on low boost 💪
4 cyls in small COMPACT (maybe even mid size) eco/sports cars that aren't at premium prices are ok..... A fkn 4 cyl in a bmw/benz/range rover etc is not ok
Its ironic that some people hate the eco boost mustang, and then love the ford focus rs. I love myself a good 4 banger and i myself accept that i am among those people that think mustangs camaros challengers and chargers need to have a v8. 4 cylinders are great engines non the less.

It’s also been fairly easy because they aren’t very complex. Eventually I want to put a 4G63 head on it but that’ll be later on down the road.

There is only ONE car maker exempt from the hate, Mini. They produced 4 cyclinder coopers in 1959 and have made the same car since. Minis are made for 4 cylinders and can kick out some stunning weight-power ratios.
I used to have an automatic C5 I bought used. Fuckers will move even with the 2.71 rear diff. I got tired of it after it stranded me twice in a week, and sold it to my neighbor.
I like both. I have a good chunk of cars. I love the feel of a supercharged v8 getting off the line. I also like trolling v8's in a sleeper all motor high compression stock chassis 4 door Honda civic with stock interior and clear coat pealing paint. Life would be boring if we didn't have so many options.
I was always a V6 or V8 kinda guy until my career got me into working on and driving 4 cyl cars. They are so much easier to maintain in the long run, and they are hilariously fun with a turbo. Ended up buying a GTI manual, and I used to have an automatic C5 Corvette.
I appreciate the Runescape analogy very clever 😆. Anyways I think most the hate these days for 4 cylinder is that they just don't sound all that good compared to bigger motors. To get a good sound it takes research on exhausts, ect. My favorite sound of an I4 is from the B18C crossover to VTEC is just so pure and good to me. I also love the sound of a boxer 4 just at idle.
in my time of owning a 1991 EAGLE TALON TSI, never have I ever gotten hate for "noise" or "its a 4-banger" ever. most people ask me how to get one or if they can ride in it lmao
Can’t wait to hear the comments about how I’m using a inline 4-cylinder Mazda CUV and beginning to modify it (nothing crazy, it’s not paid off yet lol, can’t void the warranty!)
I owned a 05 tC. It was rather torquey for a N/A 4 banger and fun but with limited aftermarket support I decided to move on. I also had 10 and 17 WRX and those were so fun! The FA WRX made good power and was still pretty good on gas . Currently in a Procharged 17 Mustang GT and in terms of flat out power nothing else compares. However, I’m looking for a turbo 4 to daily.
First car I ever had that I owned myself was a '92 Honda Accord EX. Great little car and I know for sure it's all metal construction saved me in a Tbone accident from my passenger side. Exhaust had holes and sounded like the worst trombone you ever heard. VTEC all day bb! But! I grew up driving V6 and Northstar V8 Cadillacs. That much power that much weight always being put to the ground that I've never looked back. My second car was the Northstar V8 powered Buick Lucerne CXS Super. Most ridiculous sleeper car I personally have ever seen. My current car is a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO that I bought with 14,000 miles and am just about to hit 20k. AWD and twin-turbo V6 don't know if I could ever go back to a four. They're light tho. And that's definitely a world I miss some days lmao
I love all quick cars, but anyone who's driven a 2.0L 4-banger making 500 whp and a 6.2L V8 making 500 whp knows there's a huge practical difference in the way they drive. Around town for sure, but even just cruising on the highway. A giant hairdryer on a tiny engine generally turns your powerband into an on/off affair. Granted that can be part of the charm, but it's nice to not have to drive it like you stole it when you need to merge or pass someone from a slow speed. There's also a difference in reliability and durability once you start getting up there a bit in power. 500-600 whp from an LS3 or Coyote is nothing. You could get to the lower figure staying N/A or just go FI on ~10 lbs to hit 600 whp. On a 2.0L, you're probably looking at 35 lbs on E85 to hit 500 whp. And with all that extra boost comes increased potential for problems. There's a reason most enthusiasts go from tiny displacement 4-bangers to 6- and 8-cylinders as they get older and get more money. But you very rarely see people go from a V8 to a 4-banger unless it's for economic reasons.
When a straight piped 92 civic pulls up and you hit that electronic cutout exhaust button in your SRT8 then rev it up. Watch how they try to avoid your gaze by looking everywhere else but your direction.
The fact that my current Focus ST, 2 liter turbo 4 cyl, makes way more power then the 289CI, V8 in a '67 Mustang fastback I had shows just how far tech has moved the little 4 pot motor. That said I'd be surprised if the modern equivalent of that 289 isnt able to produce 400 HP, easy.
For five years, I drove a 2003 Mini Cooper S with a 6 speed on the daily and it was the most fun car I had ever owned or driven. Fast forward to today, after a brief period of owning an RX8, and now I'm driving a 2005 Mustang GT with a 5 speed. The Mini was nimble, quick, but not very fuel efficient at first (I managed to get it up to about 24 MPG after a year or so). The Mustang is powerful, loud, fun, but not very fuel efficient, either. I loved the 4 banger Mini, and I also love my roaring V8 Mustang.
Had a Lincoln Town car 2v 4.6 V8. Not fast but had an amazing exhaust setup with 2019 mustang wheels, looked incredible. Fast forward after being T-boned I now have a 2012 Mini Cooper S R57. You are correct with how mind-blowing these things are at handling. Nothing with a V8 could corner like a turbo mini, especially after performance upgrades. People tend to forget 95% of turbo four cylinders are meant to be a drag car, They're nimble and quick at cornering. It's like comparing apples and oranges both are great it just depends on what you want at the time!
Got a 2017 Jetta 1.4 tsi. It’s fun and the tq throws you back in the seat. Great fuel efficiency, only thing I don’t like is the sound, took the resonator off and it a little louder, definitely won’t go straight pipe, but definitely getting a charger pipe with bov and a cold air intake. Later on I’ll get a crack n pop tune. Tbh when I’m finished, it won’t be a bad build for a 4 cylinder.
Because in the US we are still hard up for the old school muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. I grew up with 4 cyl vehicles from Datsun 610 wagons, Nissan Sentra, Acura Integras and even 4 cylinder Honda Accord and Fit. I only recently got into the 6.7 Powerstroke. And I’m looking at buying either a 240sx or a SC300. But I could easily buy a Crown Vic or a SC400 both V8s. If I ever get a Mustang I would get a coyote 5.0. I don’t hate 4 cylinders I like them but at this point in time I’m looking to have a 6 or 8 cylinder coupe for my next ride as I already had fun with my 4cyl vehicles
More cylinders=smoother power delivery. Also more torque down low on engine speed. I had 10 four cylinder cars (5 of them turbo charged) before I ever bought anything with 6 or 8 cylinders. I find the bigger engines more pleasing to drive personally.
I was on a car rally and someone with an ecoboost mustang had a 5.0 badge on it. And said that the exhaust was the reason it sounded different. As if you couldn't hear the turbo or his BOV
Maybe its because SR20s,4g63s,b series and k series 4 cylinders have gapped so many muscle cars after the muscle car owners underestimate these 4 cylinders.
A lot of people hates the 4 cyl engines but have they ever heard about the SR16VE and the B18C5R 4AGE 20V silvertop EFI and 3SGE and the 4G63T and the H23A bluetop
I have an S15 SR20DET swapped S13 and I love it, I also daily a 2016 WRX with the FA20DIT motor. 4 cylinder motors get a lot of love from me. Big power, in small packages.
Honestly 4 bangers probably get hate cause of the very few people who put the wrong exhaust/straight pipe them or the one guy at 2 am banging gears but in reality the reliability and mpg can’t really get better then a 4 banger also Honda’s and 4gs love boost and reliable on boost not saying v8s are bad at all or unreliable.
Air cooled flat fours (VWs and old Porsche's) are some of the best sounding 4 cylinders out there, same with GMs ecotec from all the years I've helped pit for my friends class 10 off road car
I don't hate 4 bangers... It's the over-saturated crowd of Ricer's that think their 16sec 1/4mi shitbox is the best thing on 4 wheels that I cant stand. There are some serious performance 4 cylinders out there, but the majority that you see driving on the street is base model Civics (or similar), usually with a primer coat on at least 1 body panel, with a loud ass fart can screaming at 7000rpm while barely hitting 20mph.
I grew up driving 70’s V8 muscle cars and for the longest time couldn’t stand 4cyl cars, now I have a 2020 Mustang Ecoboost HPP and couldn’t be happier with it. At 330hp the 4cyl makes more power than a lot of V8’s from 10+ years ago and with the weight difference the Mustang Ecoboost actually handles better than the Mustang GT’s. I feel the 4cyl has come a long way from what they used to be but they still get a lot of hate especially in something like a muscle car.
Traded my 2014 v6 Camaro which at the time I thought had plenty of power! I found my dream car in a 2013 Camaro SS with the monster V8! I love that v6 but man this thing is crazy fast! Keep up the good work Dakota 👍😁
I have a 2004 honda accord lx coupe. Its the 4 cylinder version. Just got it last year in August! I've done a few things to it, but I'm getting an engine built by a local guy who builds honda racing engines for a living. By the time I have added the turbo, fuel injectors and everything else, I plan to make 545HP+! Its going to be fun, looking forward to it! But before I do that, I'm most likely lowering it first. I will stop by FI and take a look 😉
I love my 4 banger forester not too bad does great on gas yeah it don’t have a lot of hp but still is fun to tune and to see how much power it will get.
Only problem i have with small displacement boys is they feel they need to rev next to me because my car is “loud” Coyotes revving out still sound better 😎
I like my Mitsubishi 4b1. Its been relatively reliable for me. 114k hard miles.It sounds like its been smoking newports for 40 years with a straight pipe from headers back🤷♂️
I remember when 4 cylinders use to be a joke cause just getting on the highway with them was not fun they were slow and took forever to speed up the only good thing they was reliable and good gas mileage but with new technology and turbos being added 4 cylinders have become fast beefy and have fantastic pickup now they feel like your v6 and some of these 4 cylinders now drive and pick up speed so well that if you didn't know no better you would think it was a v6 and they still keep there good gas mileage and reliability but we need the thank the advances of technology for a lot of this.
I'm a 6 cylinder fan. They have to work less than 4 cylinders and they have less moving parts than 8+ cylinders, which in my mind means they have less of a probability of a part breaking. The more parts the more chances for something to break. They also just seem to be better balanced than four cylinders. My family's 6 cylinders haven't failed us. Neither had my dad's F-150 4.6L V8, but it's a Ford F-150, what else do you expect besides a reliable engine?

I was always a V6 or V8 kinda guy until my career got me into working on and driving 4 cyl cars. They are so much easier to maintain in the long run, and they are hilariously fun with a turbo. Ended up buying a GTI manual, and I used to have an automatic C5 Corvette.
4 bangers are easier until you add a turbo.
@@mikem9536the GTI has a turbo
I like that I can get over 25 mpg on the freeway but have pulled on a c7 z06 in my 22psi lancer ralliart
That took me out when he said gapplebees
I appreciate the Runescape analogy very clever 😆. Anyways I think most the hate these days for 4 cylinder is that they just don't sound all that good compared to bigger motors. To get a good sound it takes research on exhausts, ect. My favorite sound of an I4 is from the B18C crossover to VTEC is just so pure and good to me. I also love the sound of a boxer 4 just at idle.
My old 3.8 v6 in a 04 grand prix was decent but the 2.0t in my 16 A3 knocks it out of the park in comparison
in my time of owning a 1991 EAGLE TALON TSI, never have I ever gotten hate for "noise" or "its a 4-banger" ever. most people ask me how to get one or if they can ride in it lmao
Love that OSRS comparison
Can’t wait to hear the comments about how I’m using a inline 4-cylinder Mazda CUV and beginning to modify it (nothing crazy, it’s not paid off yet lol, can’t void the warranty!)
I owned a 05 tC. It was rather torquey for a N/A 4 banger and fun but with limited aftermarket support I decided to move on. I also had 10 and 17 WRX and those were so fun! The FA WRX made good power and was still pretty good on gas . Currently in a Procharged 17 Mustang GT and in terms of flat out power nothing else compares. However, I’m looking for a turbo 4 to daily.
I got a ‘91 EF Honda Civic Si H/B w/ a ‘98 spec. 🔰 JDM B18C5❗️fully built, with matching transmission. 👍🏾🍁🇨🇦
I love V8s and four cylinders, But I hate it when fart can exhausts are put on.
Turbo civic is v8’s nightmare
First car I ever had that I owned myself was a '92 Honda Accord EX. Great little car and I know for sure it's all metal construction saved me in a Tbone accident from my passenger side. Exhaust had holes and sounded like the worst trombone you ever heard. VTEC all day bb!
But! I grew up driving V6 and Northstar V8 Cadillacs. That much power that much weight always being put to the ground that I've never looked back.
My second car was the Northstar V8 powered Buick Lucerne CXS Super. Most ridiculous sleeper car I personally have ever seen.
My current car is a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO that I bought with 14,000 miles and am just about to hit 20k.
AWD and twin-turbo V6 don't know if I could ever go back to a four.
They're light tho. And that's definitely a world I miss some days lmao
Another Dakota video to get me through my Friday🤝 Hell yea brother
They hate on it because they found out the hard way that displacement could be replaced 😜
The P-hat reference hit close to home for me
I love all quick cars, but anyone who's driven a 2.0L 4-banger making 500 whp and a 6.2L V8 making 500 whp knows there's a huge practical difference in the way they drive. Around town for sure, but even just cruising on the highway. A giant hairdryer on a tiny engine generally turns your powerband into an on/off affair. Granted that can be part of the charm, but it's nice to not have to drive it like you stole it when you need to merge or pass someone from a slow speed. There's also a difference in reliability and durability once you start getting up there a bit in power. 500-600 whp from an LS3 or Coyote is nothing. You could get to the lower figure staying N/A or just go FI on ~10 lbs to hit 600 whp. On a 2.0L, you're probably looking at 35 lbs on E85 to hit 500 whp. And with all that extra boost comes increased potential for problems. There's a reason most enthusiasts go from tiny displacement 4-bangers to 6- and 8-cylinders as they get older and get more money. But you very rarely see people go from a V8 to a 4-banger unless it's for economic reasons.
3 minutes ago? My notifis laggin 😔
“So you want a 2nd gen Lexus IS”
When a straight piped 92 civic pulls up and you hit that electronic cutout exhaust button in your SRT8 then rev it up. Watch how they try to avoid your gaze by looking everywhere else but your direction.
This man is a God simply for dropping the runeacape reference.
I like how they’re getting a donut inspiration but it’s not a copy which is fabulous, can’t wait till you guys collab with donut media 🙂
The fact that my current Focus ST, 2 liter turbo 4 cyl, makes way more power then the 289CI, V8 in a '67 Mustang fastback I had shows just how far tech has moved the little 4 pot motor. That said I'd be surprised if the modern equivalent of that 289 isnt able to produce 400 HP, easy.
For five years, I drove a 2003 Mini Cooper S with a 6 speed on the daily and it was the most fun car I had ever owned or driven. Fast forward to today, after a brief period of owning an RX8, and now I'm driving a 2005 Mustang GT with a 5 speed. The Mini was nimble, quick, but not very fuel efficient at first (I managed to get it up to about 24 MPG after a year or so). The Mustang is powerful, loud, fun, but not very fuel efficient, either. I loved the 4 banger Mini, and I also love my roaring V8 Mustang.
Had a Lincoln Town car 2v 4.6 V8. Not fast but had an amazing exhaust setup with 2019 mustang wheels, looked incredible. Fast forward after being T-boned I now have a 2012 Mini Cooper S R57. You are correct with how mind-blowing these things are at handling. Nothing with a V8 could corner like a turbo mini, especially after performance upgrades.
People tend to forget 95% of turbo four cylinders are meant to be a drag car, They're nimble and quick at cornering. It's like comparing apples and oranges both are great it just depends on what you want at the time!
I want an all around car. Honda has it nailed with the type R.
Got a 2017 Jetta 1.4 tsi. It’s fun and the tq throws you back in the seat. Great fuel efficiency, only thing I don’t like is the sound, took the resonator off and it a little louder, definitely won’t go straight pipe, but definitely getting a charger pipe with bov and a cold air intake. Later on I’ll get a crack n pop tune. Tbh when I’m finished, it won’t be a bad build for a 4 cylinder.
Because in the US we are still hard up for the old school muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. I grew up with 4 cyl vehicles from Datsun 610 wagons, Nissan Sentra, Acura Integras and even 4 cylinder Honda Accord and Fit. I only recently got into the 6.7 Powerstroke. And I’m looking at buying either a 240sx or a SC300. But I could easily buy a Crown Vic or a SC400 both V8s. If I ever get a Mustang I would get a coyote 5.0. I don’t hate 4 cylinders I like them but at this point in time I’m looking to have a 6 or 8 cylinder coupe for my next ride as I already had fun with my 4cyl vehicles
I love a fun car period 4, 5, straight 6 and v6, v8, v10 and v12
As a german having a four zylinder is so common
Displacement & more cylinder help & v8s keep the ride smoother
I got an ecoboost mustang 😬
Same I love it. But dammit I’m getting a 5.0 in the future
@@s550trippy3 yeah same haha
I’ve only ever owned 4 cylinder cars.
Dude try a car with more cylinders its a big difference especially in torque
@@TheV8Pumpkin the fiesta and focus st disagree. They make more torque then horsepower
@@alonelydilophosaurusjwa4346 a c43 makes more tq than hp, many v8s also do lol how is that relevant bro
More cylinders=smoother power delivery. Also more torque down low on engine speed. I had 10 four cylinder cars (5 of them turbo charged) before I ever bought anything with 6 or 8 cylinders. I find the bigger engines more pleasing to drive personally.
Same here because third world. Here the 3 and 4 pots make up around 90% of 4 wheels road vehicles.
I was on a car rally and someone with an ecoboost mustang had a 5.0 badge on it. And said that the exhaust was the reason it sounded different. As if you couldn't hear the turbo or his BOV
My 4 Cylinder Integra is loads of fun still, can’t wait to boost
Saying this as a guy that owns a 98 Eclipse GSX, the hate that I4s get isn't deserved. My car is making 260hp and is still really reliable. Don't hate
4 cylinders are my soft spot
I love both. The turbo 4 bangers have their own fun, & V8s have fun torque.
Maybe its because SR20s,4g63s,b series and k series 4 cylinders have gapped so many muscle cars after the muscle car owners underestimate these 4 cylinders.
I love my 2007 S2K with over 100K miles
My stock Leggy gtb is a 4 cyl, twin turbski from factory. Pretty damn fun to rip
If youre reading this dude, i have an F22C. One of the best sounding engines that doesnt sound like straight rice like the civics do
A lot of people hates the 4 cyl engines but have they ever heard about the SR16VE and the B18C5R 4AGE 20V silvertop EFI and 3SGE and the 4G63T and the H23A bluetop
2zz ge
I have an S15 SR20DET swapped S13 and I love it, I also daily a 2016 WRX with the FA20DIT motor. 4 cylinder motors get a lot of love from me. Big power, in small packages.
Honestly 4 bangers probably get hate cause of the very few people who put the wrong exhaust/straight pipe them or the one guy at 2 am banging gears but in reality the reliability and mpg can’t really get better then a 4 banger also Honda’s and 4gs love boost and reliable on boost not saying v8s are bad at all or unreliable.
Got a 4 banger tdi and love it. Gonna get a tune for it soon then on to suspension.
Air cooled flat fours (VWs and old Porsche's) are some of the best sounding 4 cylinders out there, same with GMs ecotec from all the years I've helped pit for my friends class 10 off road car
I don't hate 4 bangers... It's the over-saturated crowd of Ricer's that think their 16sec 1/4mi shitbox is the best thing on 4 wheels that I cant stand. There are some serious performance 4 cylinders out there, but the majority that you see driving on the street is base model Civics (or similar), usually with a primer coat on at least 1 body panel, with a loud ass fart can screaming at 7000rpm while barely hitting 20mph.
I grew up driving 70’s V8 muscle cars and for the longest time couldn’t stand 4cyl cars, now I have a 2020 Mustang Ecoboost HPP and couldn’t be happier with it. At 330hp the 4cyl makes more power than a lot of V8’s from 10+ years ago and with the weight difference the Mustang Ecoboost actually handles better than the Mustang GT’s. I feel the 4cyl has come a long way from what they used to be but they still get a lot of hate especially in something like a muscle car.
Since I'm a I6 guy, I have the k24, sr20Det, 4g63 and 4Age on my fav engine list
Traded my 2014 v6 Camaro which at the time I thought had plenty of power! I found my dream car in a 2013 Camaro SS with the monster V8! I love that v6 but man this thing is crazy fast! Keep up the good work Dakota 👍😁
"The ads over man"😂🔥
What I learned from the car community: People who get jelly only respect cars how they wouldn’t modify it but don’t respect how they would modify it
People are impressed with how my F22C sounds even when it's completely stock. Dare I say sounds better than a co workers V8 Mustang!
I have a 2004 honda accord lx coupe. Its the 4 cylinder version. Just got it last year in August! I've done a few things to it, but I'm getting an engine built by a local guy who builds honda racing engines for a living. By the time I have added the turbo, fuel injectors and everything else, I plan to make 545HP+! Its going to be fun, looking forward to it! But before I do that, I'm most likely lowering it first. I will stop by FI and take a look 😉
Dakota I'm going to use that 2L joke at work tomorrow if you don't mind haha
I love my 4 banger forester not too bad does great on gas yeah it don’t have a lot of hp but still is fun to tune and to see how much power it will get.
Luckily i dont fall into this category since i have a 3 Cylinder haha.
Mini Cooper r56 base?
@@tom.northshore Haha nope. 2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost
@@dean8067 ah man
I like my 4 banger. Every time I drive it I enjoy it.
I have a 4banger and am proud, i love my bk2
VEGAS ARE NOT UGLY
Only problem i have with small displacement boys is they feel they need to rev next to me because my car is “loud”
Coyotes revving out still sound better 😎
Honder 4 bangerz 4 LYFE!!!
I like my Mitsubishi 4b1. Its been relatively reliable for me. 114k hard miles.It sounds like its been smoking newports for 40 years with a straight pipe from headers back🤷♂️
I remember when 4 cylinders use to be a joke cause just getting on the highway with them was not fun they were slow and took forever to speed up the only good thing they was reliable and good gas mileage but with new technology and turbos being added 4 cylinders have become fast beefy and have fantastic pickup now they feel like your v6 and some of these 4 cylinders now drive and pick up speed so well that if you didn't know no better you would think it was a v6 and they still keep there good gas mileage and reliability but we need the thank the advances of technology for a lot of this.
I'm a 6 cylinder fan. They have to work less than 4 cylinders and they have less moving parts than 8+ cylinders, which in my mind means they have less of a probability of a part breaking. The more parts the more chances for something to break. They also just seem to be better balanced than four cylinders. My family's 6 cylinders haven't failed us. Neither had my dad's F-150 4.6L V8, but it's a Ford F-150, what else do you expect besides a reliable engine?
