The 4G63 was great for seeking a lot of power without having to upgrade any of the internals since it featured a cast iron block in comparison to the 4B11T’s aluminum block. Some Mitsubishi fans may turn their heads in disagreement on this one thinking that the 4G63 engine should be here instead of its replacement, but hear us out. This engine was used in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and was the replacement for the previous generation Evo engine, the 4G63. The 4B11T engine featured a 2.0L turbocharged DOHC inline-4 with power ranging from 237 hp to 440 hp. And we have this engine to thank for another engine which is on this list, the RB26DETT. The V12 eventually got discontinued in 2017 with the third generation Toyota Century receiving a 5.0L V8 with hybrid technology.Īnd although this was not the first 6-cylinder engine to be put inside of a Skyline, it was the first purpose-built GT-R engine. And surprisingly the V12 engine was on par with the engine of Rolls Royce in terms of smoothness. ![]() The 1GZ-FE has proven to be an exceptional engine as production went on from 1997 through 2017. Peak torque was achieved at 4,000 RPM (355 lb-ft/481Nm) although 295 lb-ft/400Nm was achieved already at 1,200 RPM. This V12 48-valve DOHC engine utilized variable valve timing (VVT-i) and produced 276 hp in the JDM version and 295 hp for export markets. This naturally aspirated 5.0L V12 was solely used in the Toyota Century which can be described as the Japanese version of a Rolls Royce. Toyota’s 1GZ-FEĪll the other engines on this list have been used in sports or race cars, but this one is different from every one of those. These are the 10 best JDM engines to date. Something which for the most part can’t be said for many American or European counterparts. Many of the engines on this list are capable of managing twice the horsepower they came with, even in stock form. The Japanese don’t only produce an engine with the intention to be used in stock form, but many of their engine designs are with the intention of aftermarket modification. Some of the best sports cars have come out of the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) and with it some of the greatest engines to grace the automobile world. ![]()
