Toyota 3S GTE
- Found in: Celica, MR2, Caldina
- Toyota S engines have always been reliable choices no matter the application in which they were found. 3S GTE, however, was more than that. Normally aspirated and turbo 2.0L I4 made an appearance in the likes of 3rd, 4th and 5th gen Celica, and 2nd and 3rd gen MR2. It produced anything from 182 hp in Celica ST165 to 252 hp in MR2 ST205. And that sound!
- Found in: Nissan Silvia
- Nissan’s 2.0L turbocharged DOHC I4 with the electronic fuel injection has made its home in numerous Nissans including Pulsar, Sunny, and most notably Silvia. S13, S14 and S15 Nissan Silvia used to make between 202 hp and 250 hp thanks to it. It wasn’t only powerful, but loud as well. SR20DET isn’t one of the best-sounding 4-cylinder engines for nothing, after all.
- Found in: BMW M3 (E30)
- Few of you will remember that the original M3 actually had the 4-cylinder engine. Straight-four was available throughout the entire first generation, and it practically created the M badge. It was offered in two displacement groups: 2.3L and 2.5L. Former delivered between 197 and 217 ponies while the latter produced 235 horsepower. Although sufficient for the original M compact sports car, 4-cylinder setup was abandoned in favor of the 6-cylinder layout in second generation M3.
