Seems like a useful thing to have summarized somewhere. While you can build just about auybof these to be a monster compared to stock, how about if we list stock values for now as one reference point?
1.7 flat 4 - 79 1.8 flat 4 - 84 2.0 flat 4 - 99 2.0 flat 6 - 109 2.2 flat 6 - 2.4 flat 6 - 2.7 flat 6 - 150-200 3.0 flat 6 - 3.2 flat 6 - 213-240 3.6 flat 6 - 275-300 Look like the right list? |

Great discussion gentlemen, good to have this all in one place.
I think the next interesting thing to collectively have a chat about is the crossover point on horsepower versus cost building out a more powerful flat four versus swapping in a six. I know that’s apples versus oranges and how the car feels, but I think it would still be useful. For example, total cost to build 130 hp flat for versus total cost to get that same horsepower with a flat six. |

Great discussion gentlemen, good to have this all in one place. I think the next interesting thing to collectively have a chat about is the crossover point on horsepower versus cost building out a more powerful flat four versus swapping in a six. I know that’s apples versus oranges and how the car feels, but I think it would still be useful. For example, total cost to build 130 hp flat for versus total cost to get that same horsepower with a flat six. Cost is a difficult way to compare. You can spend 10k on rebuilding a six and not add any hp. You can also spend $10k just to fit the six into the car. The big difference between the 4 and six is it’s possible to buy a stock six from 110-275hp. A stock 4 is maxed hp at the very lowest stock 6. The stock 3.2 I just purchased is about 220. That’s a super exotic build for a 4 and would cost triple the purchase price of my 3.2. So it’s tough to talk in absolutes. |
