Does anyone know of a production car with a 4 cylinder engine that is larger than 2.5L (appreciably larger that is- like a 2.7 or 3.0L)? Turbos and other forced induction don't count. Stroker kits don't count. More than 2.5L from the factory is what I'm after.

Thanks!

 

didnt porshe make a 3L I4?

 

^^ It was a 944

.

 

...and in the 968

 

the starion was a 2.6 turbo rwd...

 

I know that the 944 had a rather large I4

 

not a car but a truck: 2.8L DOHC I-4 in Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon. Toyota has a 2.7L in their Tacomas.

 

Excellent. I'm trying to find a sedan-type car produced for the US market that meets the above criteria (NA 4cyl) for my autocross (non SCCA) club Thanks for the list so far

 

the chevy and gmc are 5 cyls

 

OT: They still have their 4 cyls, which is their 4.2L I-6 w/ two cylinders cut off. The 5 cyl engines (imho) was a stupid idea. It's basically the I-6 with 1 cyl cut off. Why not just shove the I-6 in there, save money on making 2 engines instead of 3, and more power for their compact/midsize trucks?

back to the topic: Yeah, it is kinda hard to find a sedan-type with a >= 2.5L N/A 4. Nissan Sentra is the only thing I can think of in that category. Good luck on your search.

 

Largest I4 engine (petrol) - 3.2 L (3188 cc/194.5 in³) - 1961 Pontiac Tempest 195
Others: 3.0 L (2990 cc/182 in³) - Porsche 968
Largest I4 engine (Diesel) - 4.3 L (4334 cc/278 in³) - Isuzu NKR 4HF1

Largest V4 engine - 2.6 L (2568 cc/157 in³) - 1930 Lancia Lambda V4

 

Well, that ends this Thread, Next?


Didn't the Mercedes Benz Unimog have a Hige Diesel 4?

 

The larget I4 diesel is much larger then 4.3l

 

Sedan only? No coupes?

 

The Porsche 968 and the 944 S2 had a 3.0 liter 4 Cylinders.

In Europe there are tons and tons of cars with 4 cyl and more than 2.5 like Citroen 25CX , Seat 131 Supermirafliori 2.5l, Land Rover, even the Jeeps Wranglers, the Chryslers lebarons., the Mitsubishi Starion Turbo (2,7liters),Toyota Land cruiser colorado 2.982cc, Isuzu trroper diesel 3.0liters 4 cyl, etc, etc, etc



I don't know why someone is trying to bring this subject..
