Toyota 1HD-FT is one I will always remember as wonderful workhorse motor.

And even that one was co-designed by the Germans...

True forgot that part . I understand why French cars did have a bad reputation and in some cases todays ones with the wet belts, but the reputation is from the 60s originally and just seemed to stick. Somehow when the same issues happen to German or Japanese cars it's shrugged off.

I bought a 1.9 Volkswagen PD engine for £75 and took it straight to the legends at Darkside Developments so strip it down and discover what makes it such a powerful, reliable engine.

Toyota/Lexus 1UZ
Honda B/K series
BMW M47/57 1st gen
Toyota 3SFE/3SGE
Nissan 6 pot L/RB series
Toyota 1/2JZ


there are lots of legends out there, im sure i missed some really obvious ones,

I cant believe this was the first mention in this thread of the 1uzfe.
Absolutely theee best engine ever made. Toyota Spent a BILLION DOLLARS developing it.
Light, powerful, reliable, smooth and fit's into everything from a Lexus LS400 to a Nissan 1400 bakkie.
The UZ series was used in various guises for 24 years. Steel rods and forged steel crank, it can even handle boost in stock form.

The 3sge / gte also way up there (Kingslayer - iykyk).

To those who mentioned the 4age, i had a 4agze in my 1993 180i GSX. That car took abuse 7 days a week from me in my youth.
I would drive to George on a Monday (for work), drive around in George, then back home on a Friday, then do track days at Killarney on the weekend, and it never skipped a beat.
