I would have to say it is one of the best. Considering I had an LS1 v-8 before it really impressed me that it was only a four cylinder. And the vtec kicks ass.

 

what do you guys think of the 2.5 liter four nissan uses on the sentra and altima?

Eh, it's not anything to write home about. I guess you can modify it if you want, but that's more of an engine for a family sedan...... read "Altima 2.5"...... that translates into "family sedan".

 

New to Preludes here, but whatever is in my 2001 is pretty nice...love the sound too

 

on a personal note: i think its a piece of shit
on a mechanical note: i think its a piece of shit

i have no respect for that motor whether its the overrated SpecV or the "family sedan" version in the alty.
either way, how well balanced could a 2.5 liter crank be?

i have an "aquaintance" with a 2002 Spec V, and he recently blew his motor...being who he is, as in he claims to know 1000% more about engines than he actually does, i cant put any stock in what he tells me...
but he did blow his motor and he said he threw a rod.
the motor had around 20k on it, and he was lucky enough to have nissan replace it for free.
No nos, no ecu mods, just I/H/E
and he blew his motor reving it out.

so if its a well built engine than why would it blow up from hitting revlimit?

i revlimit my car every day for the last 70k miles since i rebuilt the motor and i dont have any problems.
