Builder’s favorite build?

Echo left a lot on the table with pretty much every motor they ever made - even the ones for Asia only. It's the Japanese way.

That's why the L-24/26/28 motors from the 1970's Nissan Z cars will go 300k with regular maintenance. Nissan designed a motor capable
of 500 horse and then detuned it.

Don’t forget Toyota! How about the 2UZ-FE or the 5VZ-FE? I would put the 2UZ in the category of one of the most overbuilt engines of all time… it’s a 4.7L DOHC iron block, forged rod, v8 that makes 220 HP and has several documented cases of exceeding a MILLION miles

I'm looking for a truck and it's going to have that 2UZ-FE! Man is that easy to work on!

Amazing engine - the 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8. My '02 Tundra just passed 200K miles; purrs like a kitten, smooth and quiet. Has never used a drop of oil; never given a moment's trouble. I should probably buy a new truck, but can't think of a single one I'd prefer - they all seem too gaudy, flashy, etc.
Chainsaw-wise, my 30 year old Stihl 026 is sorta' the same. Dead reliable; gets the job done with zero fuss.
On your hot saw questionnaire, how about some 80's Canadian muscle? My (restored) Pioneer P51 (82cc) will put a lot of modern saws right back on the trailer; plus, it's just cool as hell...

has anyone sucessfully converted a 592 to carb with 585 parts?
does the autotune carb on a 592 not flow sufficient air, and that hinders what all can be done with them?

I'm not sure there would be much to gain in doing that. If you could get an unlimited coil to work with an adjustable carb, then you could probably get the 592 to make some real gains.

so its mainly the coil limiting it, I can see that, if higher RPM's are not possible you can probably only do soo much, are the 585 coils limited to the same RPM?

I'm not sure on that... @srcarr52 would probably know

Yes, mainly the coil but the autotune seems to start to add fuel right around the rpm limit.

 

[redneckhillbilly]

i was just curious, probably cannot interchange them due to the autotune stuff the 592 has, yesterday I ran my cousins 585 right next to my 592 and you really cannot tell them apart powerwise.

Yes, mainly the coil but the autotune seems to start to add fuel right around the rpm limit.

it seems the autotune saws will hold a higher rpm in the cut if you let it hit the limiter than proceed to bury the bar, its hard to explain but you gotta floor it for a mila second than drop the bar in the log.
