The fact that only 5200 people are subscribed to you and you have so few views is a crime. I hope you will get the recognition you deserve, I dont think I have skipped one second on one of your tier list videos, keep up the great work!
Welcome back, thank you that’s much appreciated. Will definitely keep things going and the 5 cylinders will happen! Might take a little to get to but I won’t forget it.
@@running2redlineIf you make the 4cyl video, please include the toyota 2AZ and 2AR 4 cylinders. Toyota actually sold a rebadged vortech supercharger for the 2AZ in the mid 2000s
ive worked on 700hp 7ms and stock ones. as a 7m owner and modifier, EVERYTHING you said is 100% accurate. i cant tell you how many times ive said to people. "theyre like subaru motors. theyre a little finiky and you have to treat the right or the headgasket blows!" i cheered when you put it in S teir they need more love!
That’s sounds like a great time owning one! Glad I got that accurate, I found so many mixed opinions that made it a hard read. Despite its Subaru like qualities, they really are awesome and underrated engines, cool to see people are still keeping them going!
rebuilding a 7M right now, its probably the most simple engine ive ever worked on. If people treat it right, it will last as long as any other toyota. its not a miata and it cant be treated like one too. Throw on a mhg and some arp head studs and youre set!
As long as you have proper head studs and torque them properly (and aren’t trying to make literal “stupid” amounts of power) they should be a wonderful engine… Never understood why they get so much hate, I’d take them every single day over a Subie engine…
Fellow 7M-GTE owner here with a Mk3 Supra. I myself can't say how much I love this thing! Without covering anything up, the previous owner blew a radiator and thus the headgasket, which I replaced, followed by a whole revision half a year later, just for my mind to KNOW what has been done on the engine and what's inside it. After 170.000 Kilometer and probably some iffy pre-owners, I thought it's a good investment in the future. Running it's stock boost with a nice intake and exhaust, I really don't need any more punch. Let me tell you guys what my typical lines are when talking about this engine: Is the 7M good for just pushing the horsepowers up without caring? No- Is it THE most rev happy engines with 7000, 8000, 9000 rpm? No- Is it a racehorse? Not really, at least not for me- But oooohhhh boy... Does this thing PULL with an unfaltering force of one of those cold-blooded horses used in forestry. For this facts I shall keep up lovingly calling it ,,My marine engine". . . I hope I'm making any sense here, just stating some of the things I admire on the 7M--
JDM v6 and I4 would be great future videos but I know you’ve gotten that comment like a million times lmao. Keep up the great work you are very underrated!
You’re doing great work. I love having this information presented this way. Have you covered the 1UZFE motor yet? It’s interesting that in the southern hemisphere they get turbo’d often and in the northern hemisphere you never see them with turbos.
Thank you. I haven’t done the 1UZFE but will likely circle back to V8s at some point. I didn’t know that but that’s quite intriguing. Any reason why the turbo setups are popular there?
@@running2redlinethe UZ is the defacto performance v8 swap since the LS is uncommon outside the US. The JZ is also heavy as hell and sits very far forward. A built UZ can get 1000 hp with a twin turbo and forged internals on a stock block.
I think the TB and it's diesel brother the TD deserve a bit more praise. The TB for it's time was praised for it's off-roading capabilities, and a lot of people would even argue that the Y60 Patrol with the TB42 was what got Toyota to step up and develop the 1FZ for the newer 80 series Land Cruisers. Anyway, cool video and channel. Subbed, hope you do a video for V6's. ;)
For sure! I really like the idea of “performance” as well. I’ve been wondering how I’ll do 4 cylinders because there are simply so many, but I think that’s a great answer to that question. Thank you, I will make that happen.
Great series...thanks! I'm not sure how you would catagorise it but the Barra inline six made by Ford in Aust is right up there with the 2JZ & the RB sixes
Totally agree! If I do an American I6 vid I’d probably throw it there with Ford being American even though it’s in Australia. I think we both know where I’d put it though :)
A 5M and 2JZ owner here with a 1986 Toyota Cressida and 2001 Lexus GS 300, I would say you pretty much got it spot on. Although I would've put the 5M on S tier right after the 7M since it was pretty much the first DOHC in the M series that was used in more than one car like the 3M was with the 2000GT, the 5M is a really solid engine and i've never had any problems with it at all for the past 4 years i've owned my 86 Cressida, scorching summers, winter blizzards, your daily driver? No problem at all! Ran my 5M-GE with really low oil and coolant by accident (me not checking them) one time and it still is going like a champ for an almost 40 year old engine. Love the M and JZ series engines and hello to my fellow lads that have these family engines, keep on rocking and cruising with these bulletproof engines, they're something special!
The final and most powerful engine in the RB Series, the RB28DETT was only put in 20 cars(The R34 GTR Z-Tune). 493 hp was the number that Nissan put in marketing due to “insurance reasons” or so I’ve read. Knowing Japanese engines of the time, it probably makes over 500.
I’d definitely believe it was sandbagged, super impressive stuff for sure. Didn’t know about their reasoning, thanks the the info that’s quite interesting.
I love the series so much. Would be cool to see some B roll of the top performers early in the video like a skyline doing a launch or something or a truck pulling a load. That way we can see what we’re hearing about
Would you consider making a 4 cylinder motorcycle engine tier list in the future? Your videos are amazing and it's obvious you're making tons of research into them!
Will totally consider it, my biggest hurdle will be research as I honestly don’t know a ton about them. However if enough people are asking for it I will deliver. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos, I really appreciate that!
If you wanted to change up the Engine Tier List videos a little bit, instead of focusing on a region and cylinders, a Hot Rod engine tier list would be pretty cool. Also, maybe F1 and NASCAR generations? Great video as always dude!
Stumbled across your channel last week. Very interesting comparisons, and I like the way you keep them grouped....apples to apples. Will you be doing 4 cylinder videos?
Hooray! Somebody remembered the FZ. The only thing I can fault you for is suggesting that the 1FZ solved a fuel economy issue...cause oh boy did it not.
Euro inline 4 next? Maybe have to keep it pre 2000s. Just dont forget the Volvo B18/B20 and B21-B230 engines. B230 can do 700hp on stock pistons and crankshaft
Fun fact about the L series engines, they were created by taking a Prince 4 Cylinder engine and adding two cylinders to it… What’s even funnier is that that Prince 4 Cylinder engine was originally a Mercedes 6 Cylinder design that they then chopped two cylinders off of 😂😂😂 Also a modified early L24-L28 with Triple carbs is one of the best sounding Japanese engines ever made and they can make great power for what they are as well… Source: Jason Cammisa’s video on the 240Z, give it a watch, it’s not his best video, but it’s still fantastic (my personal favorites are the 500e, Miura, and NSX, as well as some of his other videos for Hagerty like his video on the definitive M3)
I may do something like that once I’m through all the major gasoline engine formats. In all honestly I’m not nearly as familiar with most diesels so I’d struggle to rank them appropriately. Definitely open to doing the necessary research though!
Out of curiosity, does anyone have any knowledge of any 2JZ or RB engines being converted to use as a generator? I’ve seen several examples using the Ford 300 being used in that capacity and I’m pretty amazed by that so I’m curious if one of these JDM masterpieces would be a viable option in that application
What kind of engineer background do you come from? Being an Engineer myself it really helps with car stuff because of the engineering problem solving mindset
I’ve been in mechanical engineering mainly in the hydraulics industry, looking to work my way into automotive when the opportunity arises. I totally relate to how much it helps with cars too! Working on them is the ultimate brain exercise of seeing the physics in practice, along with the persistence when problems arise.
Would love a reliable/fixable tier list which would hopefully include things like the 3800 series II and whatever engines are most reliable in Toyotas etc. I'm so sick of this modern crap and my family could buy 5 old reliable cars for the price of some garbage with all these new electronics etc.
I’d agree that quality has gone way down, I’m huge on reliability. That’s why I bought a vette and a Miata. Once I’ve done all major configurations I might wrap things up with a video like that, good idea!
I personally prefer the JZ (2jz) over the RB (RB26) due to the larger displacement and stronger stock internals. I’d love to have a chance to own either though!
You have missed at least 2 petrol straight sixes... both probably in Tier A, maybe even S. They are not car engines though, Honda CBX and Kawasaki 1300.
The fact that only 5200 people are subscribed to you and you have so few views is a crime. I hope you will get the recognition you deserve, I dont think I have skipped one second on one of your tier list videos, keep up the great work!
Btw Im looking forward to a 5 cylinder tier list👀

Don’t forget about the Inline 6 Honda made, although it was in a bike it was a high reving monster for its time
I must add the suzuki verona inline 6. I heard it was porsche engineered and found only one picture of it on google.

A jdm v8 tier list would go hard
Will do
Ford 4.0 Barra i6 solo’s all (this is a joke) barra goes hard but I still greatly Respect jdm i6’s
As far as sound is concerned, I would rate the top 3
1. L24-28
2. 2JZ
3. RB26
Jdm inline 4s would be insane as well!
love these videos man, keep it up
Much appreciated!
What a good video bruv
How do you only have 8000 subs???!
Much appreciated, I’m thankful for all of them and happy with the community we’re growing!

Also a modified early L24-L28 with Triple carbs is one of the best sounding Japanese engines ever made and they can make great power for what they are as well…

A skyactive G in a Miata or a Mazda 3 would be so fun. Mazda would be smart to do it.
I’m just hoping someone does it, would be cool for a powerful swap directly from Mazda!
It wouldn't be possible to fit the new Skyactive G i6 in a Mazda 3. That i6 is longitudinal so it's only suitable for rear wheel drive cars.
Another good video would be ranking Japanese v8 engines. There's actually a lot of fantastic Japanese engines like the engine in the Lexus ls460
Totally agree! I’ll make it happen.
@@running2redline 🤩
Oh lol, I recognize that car plate on the TB engine, somos el mejor país de Chile
The same for japanese 4 bangets would be cool

In my German I6 tier list under BMW engines.
I dont even have to watch the video and I already know that the 2JZ and the RB26 will be S tier.

They are not car engines though, Honda CBX and Kawasaki 1300.

Now we need the V6 from the europeans please
Is it hype if it's true/deserves it?
Earned hype
I clicked for the 5M engine
TB should easily be A/S tier
Honda missed out by not making an inline 6
Well they made just about the best v6 in the world for F1 so I guess they found a way to compensate 😂
They did, though! ...for a motorcycle, the CBX.
2jz joke got u a sub hahaha
Lol thank you, welcome to the channel!
*Even though this is an i6 list... the 13b should be on it. It's got 3 sides per rotor x2, and it's technically in line.*
Also, 13b > 2jz.
Will likely be doing a rotary video at some point. 13b is certainly a great engine though.
