The Best Turbocharged Engines Of All Time

Posted by - Tim Earnshaw on 28 March 2023
Categories: Advice
best-turbo-engines

The turbocharger is now a regular addition to many road cars, but here the Windrush classic car storage team celebrates the timeless turbos designed for power first and foremost.

Not so long ago a turbocharger was an exotic addition to any road car, often warranting a large badge or decal to announce the fact. Then came the turbo-diesel and now the turbocharger is used on almost every new car to reduce engine capacity, while maintaining power, in the name of a greener world.

Despite all that, there is still plenty to celebrate about the turbocharger. In this post, the Windrush long term car storage team gets our heads together to select our favourite turbo engines of all time.

Porsche MDH.NA

Porsche-MDH.NA_

Found in the 911 Turbo S, this 3.8L flat-6 has large variable-geometry turbos, peak boost at 22.5 psi, larger intercoolers, a water-spray system and 700 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm and 553 lb-ft of torque from 2,250 rpm to 4,000 rpm. Only for the brave, but perhaps the last of the blistering Porsche Turbo motors.

Ferrari F154

Ferrari’s F154 family of V8 engines has powered many of the marque’s road cars from the California to the 488 Pista. The F154B and F154C has won four Best Performance Engine awards and a total of 14 awards in the International Engine of the Year competition including a ‘Best of the Best’ award in 2018.

Nissan RB26DETT

nissan-turbo-engine

The 2.6L twin-turbocharged inline-6 from Nissan – the RB26DETT – is legendary amongst those seeking the ultimate tuneable motor. Limited to 280 hp from the factory – thanks to the gentleman’s agreement between Japanese manufacturers to cap engine outputs – a simple flash of the ECU removed the restrictions and allowed tuners to go beyond 1000bhp.

Toyota 2JZ-GTE

Toyota-2JZ-GTE.jpeg?w=1024&h=632&scale

Another heroic engine is the Toyota 3.0L inline-6 2JZ, and the twin-turbocharged 2JZ-GTE. The two turbochargers operated sequentially with one designed to provide maximum torque as early as 1,800 rpm, and the second engaged in pre-boost until 4,000 rpm. After that, both turbos would spin at full blast. Today, the 2JZ-GTE remains the king of tuning culture.

Ferrari F106

Ferrari-F106-scaled.jpeg?w=1024&h=576&scale

Ferrari’s F106 V8 engine dates as far back as 1973 with a flat-plane crank and dual-overhead cams, and it continued to be used, with revisions, for more than 30 years. Its starring role was in the F40, featuring a twin-turbocharged version of the F106 producing 471 hp, creating, arguably, the finest flame-spitting turbocharged supercar.

Bugatti 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W16

bugatti-quad-turbocharged

The outrageous quad-turbocharged W16 powers all of the Bugatti hypercars and first debuted in 2005. Producing over 1,000 hp from the factory it made the Veyron the fastest production sports car in the world. Today the Bugatti W16 produces up to 1,600 hp and powers the Chiron range of hypercars.

BMW N55

BMW-N55

The single turbo, 6-cylinder N55 first appeared in the M135i hot hatch with great sound, a desire to be revved and lots of power and torque. Reminiscent of 6-cylinder M Cars of the past, the N55 is a characterful engine as capable of day-to-day driving as it is a hard lap of the Nürburgring.

The Top 10 Naturally Aspirated Engines

Read Article
At Windrush, we welcome plenty of turbo and supercharged vehicles to our prestige car storage facilities in London and the Cotswolds. But there’s still something about the classic naturally aspirated engine that casts a spell. The fundamental principle remains unchanged: air intake to this engine type relies entirely on atmospheric pressure (unlike the forced induction of turbo and supercharging). And while naysayers will tell you the unwelcome upshot of N/A is a bulkier, fuel-thirstier engine, naturally aspirated vehicles typically offer bigger revs, better throttle response (with no turbo lag), optimal torque, easier maintenance and a healthy roar. No wonder the N/A format is still in manufacturers’ thoughts – and has a healthy following amongst our long term car storage clients. Here’s ten of the best naturally aspirated engines, as chosen by our classic car storage team.     Honda S2000 An epic 2.0, 4-cylinder engine making 240 horsepower at an incredible 8,300 rpm. It revs and it roars and it screams… and all that power is right at the top of the revs, meaning you have to work the engine hard. But, it’s a Honda, so it takes it all day long and still comes back for more. Lexus LFA A very special 4.8 V10 built with help from Yamaha. While the Japanese may not have made many supercars, the V10 LFA creates a sonorous wail when on song, as only a V10 can. Not only is it a work of art, it also makes the LFA one of the fastest Japanese cars ever made with its 552 horsepower.  Dodge Viper What more can you say, an 8.4 V10 engine is more than enough in anyone’s book. With 640 horsepower, the all-aluminium engine creates an exhaust note that is unforgettable and while the car makes little sense, our classic car storage team applauds its very existence, every time a Viper rolls into our facilities. Ferrari 550 A 485 horsepower 5.5 litre engine mated to an open-gate manual transmission is certainly something to savour. A front-engined Ferrari is always special, but with a V12 soundtrack and an all muscle, no turbo power delivery, the 550 is now regarded as one of the finest modern road cars out of Maranello. BMW E46 M3 CSL The standard E46 M3 is also worthy of this list, but when BMW squeezed out 355 horsepower from a 3.2 litre naturally aspirated straight six, one can only nod with approval. Light enough to keep the M3 agile, but with a noise unique to an M3, it is one of the heroic engines of all time. Porsche Carrera GT V10 Porsche’s engineers designed and built the 980/01 V10 for F1 but didn’t use it as they pulled out before they had the chance. A detuned 604 horsepower version found its way into the glorious Carrera GT, a car that demands all of the driver’s attention, all of the time, and was as wild a road car as you could get. Alfa Romeo 147GTA The greatest 6-cylinder of all time? None look or sound as good as this, and none feel as special… or as fragile. With 250 horsepower the front-drive 147 GTA was a great place in which to fit the Busso V6. Arguably the most beautiful engine to be fitted to an attainable car. McLaren F1 The marvellous S70/2 V12 with its 6.1 litres, was the only V-12 made by BMW with four valves per cylinder. A gutsy 618 horsepower at 7,500 and 455 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm was enough to propel the F1 from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Chevrolet LS1 V8 Launched in 1997, it was rated at 345 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 350 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm, with power uprated to 350 horsepower in 2001. The LS V8 range is now a highly regarded ‘crate’ engine with great power, unrivalled reliability – and very tuneable too. A piece of American history.  Ferrari 458 Speciale Ferrari put all their tech knowhow into this engine, and the result was 600 horsepower from a 4.5-litre, naturally aspirated V8, plus a flat-plane-crank that sounds like only a Ferrari can. Was it the last of the great V8s? In a world of turbos and hybrids, quite possibly, but what a way to go out. Aston Martin Valkyrie Cosworth are the masters behind this soon-to-launch V12 NA engine. If all goes to plan, it will be the most powerful NA engine in history, producing a claimed 1130 horsepower from its 6.5 litres. Whether it launches with that output remains to be seen, but the naturally aspirated engine might not be over just yet… Choose Windrush classic car storage, for turbo, supercharged & N/A engines At Windrush, we treat every visitor to our prestige car storage facilities as an individual. Of course, some elements of our famous 12-step induction process are the same across the board, from the professional wash/dry your car will receive on arrival, to the climate-controlled environment and individual storage bays that mark out our long term car storage from our rivals. But this is no ‘one size fits all’ service. With Windrush’s classic car storage experts on hand around the clock, we’ll adapt our ongoing maintenance programme to the specifications and demands of your vehicle, ensuring we cater to the quirks of the engine, mechanicals and more, and keep your car in an ‘always ready’ condition.

When winter bites, there are two courses of action for the car enthusiast. The first is to power down your vehicle for the season, either by planning your own long term car storage solution or by turning to the professionals at Windrush. But the second option is to embrace the sub-zero conditions and embark on one of the grandest adventures that off-grid motoring has to offer. Perhaps you’ve always been intrigued by the idea of an ice drive, but didn’t know where to start. This winter, take the plunge and try one of these five frosty routes picked out by Windrush’s luxury car storage team. Pello, Finland The Finns claim to have invented ice driving, and whether that’s true or not, the Scandinavian nation certainly has some of the finest stretches. Head for Pello in Lapland, check your vehicle over at the village of Juoksenki, then follow the Arctic Circle ice road that connects the borders of Finland and Sweden. Spellbinding in its untouched beauty, the route enjoys the best driving conditions between December and April. Arjeplog, Sweden Cross the border to Swedish Lapland and you’ll find a bewitching wilderness whose centrepiece – Lake Uddjaur – is a connoisseur’s choice amongst ice drivers. There’s a number of professional rally schools operating in the area who’ll supply all the gear – right down to the thermal underwear – and equip you with the stud-tyred BMWs and Volvos in which experienced drivers can potentially top out at over 60mph. Abondance, France Mother Nature is responsible for some of Europe’s most incredible ice roads, but head to the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in the French Alps and you’ll be awestruck by the continent’s biggest man-made circuit. Whether you bring your own car or rent the most popular Porsche Cayman and Alpine A110 models, Abondance’s hairpins and S-bends mean you’ll need your wits about you. If you’re staying at the ski resort of the same name, fit this once-in-a-lifetime experience into your holiday itinerary at all costs. Lake Khövsgöl, Mongolia Mongolian winters are perishingly cold – with temperatures routinely dropping to minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit – but you’ll find good cheer at Lake Khövsgöl in the northwest province of the same name. As the location of the annual Festival Of Ice, the ancient lake hosts myriad activities, from bone throwing to archery. But with ice as thick as 160cm, the most exciting pursuit is simply turning the key and heading for the horizon. Lake Baikal, Siberia Make no mistake, crossing this forty-mile natural skating rink in deepest Russia is not for first-timers – but if you’re a veteran ice driver seeking the ultimate challenge, Lake Baikal is the equivalent of Everest. Set in a bleakly beautiful landscape, the lake’s rough, bumpy, pitted surface – with the occasional foot-wide crevasse – means a local guide is essential, but if you make it across, you’ll have the kudos of all in the ice driving community. Warm up at Windrush classic car storage Come in out of the cold at Windrush’s long-term car storage facilities in London and the Cotswolds. We know exactly what warms the cockles of a cherished vehicle, and we pledge unbeatable attention to detail for the duration of your stay. You’ll notice the Windrush difference in our renowned twelve-step induction process, and that’s just the start of a prestige car storage service that always goes the extra mile, with ongoing maintenance and checkovers right through to the moment we hand back the keys.

As motoring enthusiasts, we are all counting down the days to April 12th. According to the government’s roadmap out of lockdown – and touching wood, obviously – this is the glorious day when UK-wide travel will be green-lit, and the vehicles you’ve trusted to Windrush’s long term car storage will finally be allowed off the leash. After more than a year of on/off lockdown, you’ll naturally want to stray beyond the functional A-to-B journeys and stretch your classic’s legs with something a little more scenic. So why not try one of these breathtaking UK driving routes – before letting your vehicle wind down in style with our prestige car storage? The Brecon Beacons Threading from Conwyn to Cardiff, the A470 is simply the finest stretch of tarmac in Wales, with its 186-mile run serving up every kind of twist, turn and straight within beautiful scenery. Drink in the rugged peaks of Snowdonia and the Cambrians, slice through the Severn and Wye Valleys, and fork through the Brecon Beacons on the A4069 – a local legend and favourite of motoring journalists, where the widescreen views seem to put the world on pause. The North York Moors Sprawling across 550 miles of bleakly beautiful heather moorland, the North York Moors National Park is England in excelsis, offering an autumnal colour palette, unbroken horizons and bruised lilac sunsets that dare you to take your eyes off the road. If you only have time for one run, drive from Kirkbymooreside to York, stopping off at the postcard-perfect market town of Malton. Glasgow to Fort William Don’t rush this fantasy route through the Scottish Highlands. As you back off the accelerator pedal to soak up the heather-dusted panorama, cloud-shrouded mountains, and mirrored waters of Loch Lomond, you’ll swear you’ve strayed onto the film set of Highlander (and you have – it was filmed in Glencoe). The Keswick Loop Everything that made the Lake District the inspiration for a thousand romantic poets is summed up in this spellbinding round trip. Starting and ending at the bustling market town of Keswick, highlights include the king-of-the-world views of the Newlands Valley and Honister Pass, where you’ll look down on scenery so sublime, you may feel a Wordsworth poem coming on. Cheddar Gorge According to data scientists, the B3135 from Cheddar to Ashwick is the UK’s most enjoyable road to drive – and it’s hard to argue. There’s something otherworldly about the limestone cliffs of Cheddar Gorge – like an alien landscape transplanted into the wilds of Somerset – and as you negotiate the twists and power down the straights, lockdown has never seemed so far away. Then sit back and relax, with Windrush long term car storage Cars are made to be driven – but they also need to be stored the right way. At Windrush, we set the standard for long term car storage, welcoming your vehicle with our twelve-step induction programme and treating it with personal care and attention for the duration of your stay.
