| you sir are an idiot. glad arguing internet semantics makes you feel big. especially when you are blatantly wrong. Motor - 1. One who, or that which, imparts motion; a source of mechanical power. Engine - a machine for converting thermal energy into mechanical energy or power to produce force and motion. courtesy of dictionary.com and webster's. the VG30DETT does not convert heat energy into motion aside from abstractly by considering the temperature difference in the exhaust gas helps power the turbos. For the most part heat is an unwanted byproduct in an ICE. The fact that most old schoolers consider a ICE to be an engine while an electric drive is a motor, the fact remains that they are both motors. what any of this has to do with whether backyard mechanics are indeed backyard mechanics I have no idea. If I have misinterpreted your post then I apologize.
