The Volvo D5 is very common in europe/scandinavia and is a very reliable and tunable engine. Only with mapping you get 290hp and 530 NM. One of my friends V70 From 2008 with the D5 has 950k Km and still runs great original engine trans and turbo

I was on my way to write same thing :) the data he says about "few of the were made nad not ton of information" Is not right! It's more Volvo D5 and 2.4D and diesels total then the gasoline T5's and just the standard engines.... Here in Sweden it's more diesels than gas, and you have information about the engines if you want to tune it. Diesel in europe is more common than gas on v70/xc70 xc90. Btw.... My dad had a 07 XC70 D5 it had almost 300k km's on the clock. I drive a V90 D4 now with a tunebox (Promotech) so it should had 245hp /490nm.

The VW 20v 2.5 or 07k as it is called deserves to be much higher, in its stock form it quite literally is indestructible and extremely reliable, has some tuning potential as NA but also shines when turboed keeping its reliability. It also has seen longitudinal rwd applications on the old porsche 944.

Its worth noting that Volvos modular engine family also includes i4 and i6 engines and those are equally as mechanically solid as the i5 engines. BUT the high hp turbocharged B5254T engine found in 2.5L R model cars have cases of cracked engine blocks. Them being open deck and having just a hair too little material in certain areas for high hp turbo applications creates a weakspot in between the upper portion of the cylinder bores. Suboptimal intercooling is also a factor here aswell as detionation (knock) due to low octane fuel and the hot air from the not so great intercooler. Its common practice to shim these blocks before doing any power increasing mods. The diesels dont have that problem at all their blocks are physically stronger and were cast with more material around the cylinders than the petrol engine blocks. The naturally aspirated engines are completely fine too and the 2.4L engine is not affected as far as I know.

I kinda hate how the highest rated 5 cylinder volvo made also has a low cieling for tuning without sleeving the block. You can put better connecting rods in a 2.3L T5 and run circles around the R motor.

The Ford 3.2 Duratorq can also be found in the T4 and TX4 models of the Brazilian off-road vehicles manufacturer Troller. FIAT's FiveTech 5c gasoline engines were widely available in the South America market inside the Fiat Mareas, both in the 2.0 Turbo and 2.4 Na versions. Although it have a few reliability problems, thanks to the aftermarket solutions this engine (specially the 2.4 NA) is now one of the favorites tuner's engine here in Brazil for very high power applications.

*Technicality I know*, but it's not really the firing order that determines what the engine sounds like, it's the firing spacing and the frequency of the firing vs the frequency of crankshaft/camshaft. What's actually really cool about this is you can infer what note an engine will "play" based on the cylinder count and it actually works pretty well. This is where the idea of a v10 playing "the best sound" comes from since it "plays" a major 10th

My first car (25 years ago) was "powered" by an OM617 and to this day i would call it "unkillable" if treated like an engine. So i am happy with it being S-Tier. I am a bit surprised that the OM612 is rated so low, given that cars with that engine are rather sought after even today. (old G wagons with the 270cdi are keeping their value pretty good where i live.) And i only heard these engines being praised for reliability. (but that's just me, i'm not a mechanic)

The Volvo B5244 is a much more reliable engine than your S Tier VolvoB5254. The Volvo 2.5L is often prone to cracked cylinder walls due to them being thin because its a 2.4l block that was bored out to a 2.5L . The 2.4 L has much thicker cylinder walls and does not suffer this same problem. Therefore the 2.4L should be moved up to S Tier and the 2.5L should be dropped down to A Tier.

I realise this is about automotive 5cyl engines, but the first I5 that comes to mind for me is the Deutz F5L 912 used in the Deutz Fahr DX85 and 90 tractors, and later used in some combine harvesters. The tractor did have some issues, but those were with the gearbox and fixed in their later production. The FL9 Deutz Diesels are quite reliable, and the air cooled nature meant you only had to keep the fins clean. You rarely ever find any Deutz tractor with a FL9 that's below 10k hours, which is also the case for the DX85/90.

I have 2 of the GM's 1 of each displacement, my daily is now 19 years old with nothing but standard maintenance issues . ( Water pump , thermostat , spark plugs ) the only issue that was slightly abnormal is the vvt oil solenoid , the factory ones had a tendency of eating the screens over the ports and was replaced with an improved design . The other minor issue is that the balance shafts bearings get loose and boy it's noisy when cold . I should do a timeline chain but I change the oil long before the oil life indicator goes off . This was a recall from gm to adjust this in the ecu . Timing chains are on both ends of the engine and is a pain to do .

B5254 Volvo/Duratec engine is a very well balanced 5. Great power and torque, good gas mileage, and reliability. However there is one small thing to note, I believe the 2011-2013 era of Volvos with this engine do have piston ring issues, causing oil consumption. This isn’t entirely a huge deal breaker, but it is to be noted. Surprisingly, it is a wonderful sounding engine, not as good as the tfsi or 2.2 R5 20v, but it is very wonderful, especially if you get a quality exhaust system to pair with it. I wish ford still had Volvo, maybe we’d still have another modern day 5 being produced, but with the new head company that took over, 5’s were gone from Volvo since 2015 I believe, not 100% sure but close to that time.

The only thing I think you missed is that the Volvo B5 engines (I forget the exact variants) were also used in the Renault Safrane in the 1990s, but the list was already pretty long ago I think you can be forgiven!

i owned a 2005 volvo v50 with the b5254t3 and ran it with no coolant and redlined it. the temp gauge went full right and started beeping, so i did the reasonable thing and... kept driving. the thing was bulletproof and had 200k miles.

The VR5 is certainly the most underrated engine in this list. It shares many similar parts with the vr6 as they belongs to the same engine family ea360, and they don't have major reliability issues. The power figure is also impressive as the EA855 produced a similar figure, with technology of 15 years advance, and 0.2L extra displacement. Finally It makes a glorious sound and has more tuning ability than most of the engines on this list including the new Volvo engines. 500 HP is just a rookie number as there are many many pushing over 800 to 1000 HP examples on KZfaq. I don't see a reason to put this in B tier

Can vouch for the Volvo, my 2.4 petrol has 230K miles on it. The only work I've ever had to do other than standard servicing is renew the PCV breather system. Still runs great, smooth and quiet.

I must say... I have had plenty experience with the Volvo B5254T and D5254T both in stock and tuned guise. I can say they are both incredible engines and think they deserve top of A tier. The 2.4 D5 Biturbo in particular is awesome as it has such a good amount of torque and delivers it in a very petrol like fashion. Also sounds good

Best 3 Cylinder: Toyota GR Corolla / GR Yaris Engine dont need to say anything about that 2nd: Ford 1.5 Ecoboost "Dragon" Engine. Reliable, torqy, very tunable with stock parts, Power from 1500 revs till redline, never feels out of breath. 3rd: Toyota 0.9 3 cylinder powering the Aygo. It just runs and runs and runs, no matter what. Note: The Koenigsegg 3 cylinder is yet to be built. Its only planned with a proof of concept, so i dont consider it for the list.
