It sounds like that because it has a crossplane crankshaft, it's not fancy exhaust work.. not to mention odd firing orders
So 4 cylenders doesnt sound good if Audi made a 4 cylinder car you lsay I love that sound so beatiful
Quote from BlueFlame :That sounds horrible. And it must be crap if all the guy does it sit there red lining it.

Horrible? I'd like to see you creating a I4 engine that sounds like a V8...
Quote from Takumi_lfs :I never said that it sounds like a v8... I meant that he thinks that he can make a V8 sound out of an I4.... Think logically..

Ye ok, well that Opel doesnt sound bad for a 4Cyl.
It doesn't matter what I4 it is, unless it's from that R1 S14 Drift enlightened me with, they all sound crap.

So you mean that most cars driven on the road are crap cause they sound crap? Hah, you swim in crap then cause most of the cars driven are I4...

I said almost all I4's sound crap, didn't say they drive crap at all, and I'm fully aware that over 50% of European cars are I4 thank you.

An inline 4 four with a crossplane crank? i.e. only only one cylinder at TDC at any moment and 90° between firing points? It'll vibrate itself to death in about 2 minutes.

Quote :In late 2008 Yamaha announced they would release an all new R1 for 2009. The new R1 takes engine technology from the M1 Moto GP bike with its crossplane crankshaft, the first ever production motorcycle to do so. Crossplane technology, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°.

I'm not sure what that is suppose to mean, but yeah I guess it has such...system.
Quote from J@tko :lol at the comments on that one

Yes all tree huggers there, its just an offroad park where its filmed at.

Quote from GrIp DrIvEr :
I agree G!NhO.

It has a really deep sound, all other bikes have screaming engines.
Quote from BlueFlame :It's an inline 4cylinder engine, doesn't matter how much you try, it will never sound good.

I should probably ignore, but meh. I disagree:

As a Ford nutter I should probably link to some Pinto with sidedrafts or similar but that sounds just too good for not getting linked.

Honestly one of the most beautiful sounds I know is a high revving N/A 4-pot with twin carbs or ITBs.

OR if we want to listen a turbo engine, I could link this mad sounding Cossie:

That BMW is a 6cyl... is what I was going to say till I realised it's an E30 and they used 2.3L IL4's IIRC.. nice sound.
My blood almost started boiling while I was reading the first part of your post.

Nice videos! Both the E30 and Cosworth sound great! Look BlueFlame, if you don't like 4 and 6 cyl. engines, THEN YOU DON'T LIKE LFS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not with him.

Who said I didn't like 6cylinder engines? It's like bloody chinese whispers on here it really is... :/

yeah good thing you aren't. I was annoyed by all his comments. I sounded quite dumb, didn't I?
You happen to have multi-personnel disorder?
