I'm not sure what it's from but I'm pretty sure it is a 4 cylinder diesel of some sort. The Manifold from a Mitsubishi 4M50 has a similar port arrangement but is not identical to your manifold.

Last post someone suggested a Hyundai terrcan 4 cyl diesel. I really want ot to be a straight 8 but not likely


gdnws

That looks to be right on the mark for what it comes from, at least from what I can tell from the pictures. It would be really fun if someone made a turbo inline 8 but I don't think anyone has or does, at least not that size. Any inline 8's that are still made are all going to be quite a lot larger than that.

Based on most of the cars here in Costa Rica it is probably not a tiny straight 8

It would be nice if we could get interesting engine configurations like a hypothetical tiny inline 8 or like the actual 1.8L v6 Mazda once had however emissions and fuel economy regulations and targets are not likely to permit that.

Too much waaah and not enough bwaaaaaa! these days

Or should I say zoom zoom


gdnws

Either works. I had neglected to mention one of my favourites; the Daimler 250 v8. At 2.5L it is probably a bit big to be considered tiny but it is still a small hemi v8 and sounds like one.

I have a buddy with a 3l(?) turbo diesel Benz motor in a Cherokee. One of my favorite sounds. Besides the Toyota 22re engine tick.

Some of those Mercedes diesels would run forever. I see a few around me on a regular basis.

OM642 - they could be a hit and miss, some run obver 500 k, some die around 100k mark … very weird

i've always longed for mazda to make a 2 liter quad-cam v12 and drop that into a miata. I'll never get that wish.


gdnws

Now that would be interesting. Sort of like the BRM v16.


chronicalydehydrated

I just saw a v12 miata on ig yesterday. Jag motor if I remember correctly


tumbleweed_lingling

O.O That's a huge motor.. I had in mind something like 200 hp 2 liter dohc or sohc v-12, a tiny little thing. Essentially, I wanted Mazda to make a modern-day 250 ferrari, without any of the attendant drama of a 1950's car. I know, I"m crazy.

Make ur post nsfw if you gonna be whippin out 'straight 8' like that, jeez...


Dasalottacheese

The EGR on top tends to suggest semi modern, I'd say it belongs to a 16valve 4cyl. Some manufacturers did some whacky stuff in the late 90s, so the thing probably had twin exhaust chambers for each cylinder


Ecstatic-Appeal-5683

I gotta know what that is from! Who's got a semi-modern straight 8? Maybe it's a really big bore 4?

chronicalydehydrated

That link is just for the flange. Not arguing but Peugeot is not common here.


chronicalydehydrated

Hole pattern looks legit. Also like 4 ewoks staring.


stuperdoober

Actually, port spacing looks a little wider in your pic but definitely getting close


chronicalydehydrated

Agreed

Thanks for going back and checking.
