What is the difference between a 3.0 liter SC motor and the turbo (aside from the turbo)?
Can an SC motor be built the same?

4-cam, variable valve, with ITBs
Just dreaming

I need to see if it fits.

ITBs + whatever Subaru did on the exhaust side to get rid of the throb. Water/air intercooler, maybe? Could be super cool. Smaller twinned turbochargers could be interesting but wholly unnecessary. Still, I can see @tygaboy arranging them in some super cool looking way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

However one feels about the purported end of internal-combustian engines, we sure have been spoiled for choice when it comes to mass-produced long blocks that are likely to outlast the complicated cars they're installed in. Light, efficient (VE is off the charts), and powerful. For me, it kind of began with the SHO V6 by Yamaha and extends forward from there through the LS400 V8 to the myriad of great 6- and 8-cylinder long blocks and complete engines from the last 25~ years that are sitting in junkyards across the USA…

That goes for Porsche, too. Good flat fours and sixes plus some very good inline fours, V6s, and V8s. All are or can be made powerful, some even sing…
