RB26DETT and 2JZ-GTE are both six cylinder engines and you they have pretty good torque on stock settings. I have read few reviews about the new Civic Typer R which has the 2l I4 200hp engine and many have said that you don't need to rev it hard in normal driving but if you want to get all the power from the engine the naturally you have to rev the engine up to 8000rpm or so.
