  • ‪@-NAOKINAKAMURANSTYLE‬ was kind enough to sit down and tell us once and for all, what his favorite engine is! I think a lot of people will be surprised by this answer, as the SR20DET fan boys really hold him as one of their heroes, but sometimes you shouldn't meet your hero! Naoki Nakamura thoughtfully describes his different engines through the years, and how he came to the conclusion that he did. I find it curious that he also talks about his CA18DET and his 500 hp 1JZ-GTE. Also, I'm curious what that tune is that stops rocker arms from popping off.

It's obvious as to why he's attracted to an LS swapped car. Being in Japan, man's is about 15 years behind curve for that setup.
