And now…

SECOND CHANCE NOMINATIONS!!!!

Nominations Criteria
  • ONE NOMINATION PER MEMBER. (Including me)
  • May be any number of cylinders or rotors
  • May be race, street, Aircraft, Marine, whatever
  • MUST NOT HAVE BEEN NOMINATED PREVOUSLY!!!!!! (botched votes in the fours and sixes don’t count, and thus can be re-nominated)
  • Try giving some good reasons.
  • Engines/families are pretty much grouped by Manufacturers’ classifications, and by how interchangeable parts are. Wikipedia will be extensively used in these judgments.
  • These will be added to the Runners-up and put up in the poll…the top TWO engines will move on to the final, week-long poll. Happy voting!

Current Second-Chance Nominees
Mazda 12A Wankel Rotor-2
NSU Ro 80 Wankel Rotor-2
Toyota 4A-GE-series I-4

6.0 litre V8 from the Vauxhall Monaro VXR. it sounds great, and propels one of the worlds best looking cars IMO.

Isn't that technically a Gen IV Chevy Smallblock? If so, It's been Nominated already.
 
i know the original 5.7 litre engine was a chevy but i don't know about the 6.0. if i'm wrong then ignore my post, it just means i've learned something today:scared:
 
It probably is. I'm guessing it's the same 6.0 that's in the GTO, and the standard Corvette as well. Chevy LS2. Been done

If it's the same as the Holden version, it has the Gen IV.

Monaro's never featured the Gen IV (L76). The Monaro VXR 6.0L were Chevrolet LS2 (Gen III) engines.

The current Commodore 6.0L are the L76 (Gen IV)

Yep same as in the GTO and standard Corvette.
 
Ah, thanks.

Changed a rule to clear it up. Just to make sure, first-time nomineed in the fours and sixes (Toyota 4A-GE, for example,) that were missed in vote #2 ARE allowed.
 
Do Mazda do some kind of Rotary engine in a car?
 
I'd go the famous 13B 2*Rotary engine used in Series 6 - 8 RX7, im not refering to the other series cleary because the series 3 - 5 RX7 werent that good, in performance wise terms.
 
and then there's that NSU RoRo 80 I think.. it was a fiasco, but still, powered by a wankel.

Want me to add that to Second Chance?

I'll add the Toyota 4A-GE. Good, solid motor series, revs to above 10k with a few modifications, and powered a number of Corollas, Sprinters, and the AW11 MR2.
 
Sure, go ahead. i don't know any specs of it though.

and stock 4A-GE doesn't go past 10k RPMs afaik.. but with some mods itdoes that easily.
