One big reason for SOHC is not that it is old tech, SOHC actually weights a lot less than DOHCs do, and can control just as many valves per cylinder.

I’m not sure if this VCM is yet another Honda gimmick to make their engines seem better than they actually are. Toyota’s 3.5 Dual VVTi offers class-leading performance and yet relatively economical. A head-to-head comparison with the Aurion should show who’s really the best.

Sam/BFII/etc, why do you keep posting your BS on this site? And I’m pretty sure the old M3 6 is a far better engine than the Falcons, just to name one.

…..The Falcon six sucks less fuel than the Commodore six

Yeh, but how much fuel does the Falcon suck?

Amazing how everything becomes a Ford Vs Holden discussion

and ps: you expected 220kW? yea but at 7000rpm vs Fords I6 that makes over 220kW “mechanically” at just 6000rpm … de-tuned to 191kW on RON91 for every day use.

And remember all I6 engines are restricted , from 200kW/440-450Nm + to under 200kW/400Nm as usual.
Again i expected to hear something more intelligent , like “I EXPECTED AT LEAST 380NM OF TORQUE” and NOT “220kW of power”

something that people dont understand is at which RPM the peak torque and power is made…
seriously , no V6 or I6 out there matches the Falcons I6 , at least from EF/EL/AU/BA/BF/FG

no joke.

How does a Chrysler 300C 3.5L V6 sound like being beaten by an all falling in to pieces EF Fairmont 4.0L?

hmmmm think about it. and once more the BA and BF/BF2 make 360Nm of torque at just 1500rpm;) thats from a stock De-tuned final product from the factory the stock 4.0L DOHC.
give it the mild cam , ECU tune , extractords from the block – back , and you get 500+Nm from a stock I6 and over 250kW.

And it will still be economical + its RWD vs FWD.

end of story.

its a nice V6 engine , might sound out dated or what ever SOHC and so on, but still its HONDA and its as good quality as TOYOTA , very reliable and high tech “in a way” , not mechanically but ECU wise “sofware wise” “firmware vise”

But again i am pushing the point here , the INLINE SIX engine is the best.

and ps: its INLINE so it doesnt need balancing , so even if you just have 3 pistons working instead all six , you’ll get more torque than a typical 2.3L 4 cylinder car.

Why did they chose SOHC design? , why not DOHC x 2 = QOHC ?

hmm 200kW? why isnt anybody mentioning the TORQUE?

again i go for the new FG , 409Nm on RON95 , awsome, and at just 3250rpm.

198kW/409Nm on RON95 , 205kW estimated and over 410Nm on RON98 from a naturally aspirated Australian designed and patented INLINE SIX 4.0Litre DOHC DVCT engine.

ps: on my AUII i broke the hose on purpose in 2005 , and it actually did run on 3 cylinders and let me tell ya i felt as if there was no power loss , at least the smoothness of the engine power/torque delivery. It acted as a typical 4 cylinder I4 car + with no water in the block just air and oil cooling;)

At the end of the day we could re-program the Falcons I6 and V8 engines to do the same , shut down a few INJECTORS and just run V4 , V6 or full V8
