are you sure these are the right way around, if thats how they really are, that must be one hell of a stressed engine

The first picture I posted yes but not the second 1.

Nope Try again.

I'll give you a clue. The pic is the car it is installed in. But do not be fooled by the make of the car. I'll post more pics of when we were building the car.

Without a doubt:

ALL Abarth/ Abarth Simca some of these normally aspirated four cylinder motors developed over 140 horse power per liter!


Alfa Romeo: P2 supercharged 1.4 liter 400+ horse power in the 1930's - their aircraft radial engines held horsepower records until the mid 40's- 1950's 159 formula 1 engine- V-8 2000cc Can Am/ sport prototype motors made mostly of titanium - flat 12 cylinder of late 70's F-1 produced more horsepower than Ferrari.


Ferrari motors: almost all of them not to forget the 330P3 / the 212E- mountain climb motor flat 12 2liter 300+ hp at 14,000+ rpm
the F-1 turbo v-6's rumors of around 1500 horsepower.

Lancia: legendary smoothness and power of their V-4's and V-6's,
600+ hp rally cars faster than Formula One cars.

Maserati V-8's and 12's gear driven DOHC and double ignition when most other companies were still perfecting rocker arms.

Mercedes: 1950's vintage inline 8 desmo valve train with direct injection and pressed roller bearing crankshaft- the best "street" Wankel in their C111.

AutoUnion: 1930's/40's V16 Only when driven by Nuvolari could this magnificent beast of a motor when powering an equally magnificent beast of a car could make you see God. To hear its exhaust note at idle is nothing short of a religious experience.

Honourable mention: GM 6/8/71 supercharged two stroke diesels of the 1940's - MV/ Agusta four :1950 alloy sand cast DOHC 500/600/750cc. MotoGuzzi 250cc V8 Grand Prix bike motor. Ducati Desmo motors.

The MotoGuzzi V8 was actually a 500 CC, here's a pic of this amazing machine, and for the cognoscenti a 250FV12 Maserati engine

FPV I looked it up and the Elise stats I have put bore at 80 mm and stroke at 89.3 mm. Sounds a bit more reasonable.

Nice list T 33. Actually I have another engine I think is pretty special. The 4.0 litre TVR Tuscan engine. 328 kw from a 4.0 is great!

Oh, and the Arna was total crap, wasn't it?

thats sounding alot more reasonable for something making peak power at 7000rpm, but it still seems proportionally similar to that of the BOSS V8, maybe cause its got half the cylinders and theyre overall smaller it can rev harder

[Touran]

What do you think of this motor????

[NAZCA C2]

The best engine is the 6.0 liter BMW V-12 that is in the Mclaren F1. This engine makes 627hp and about 500 lb-ft of torque. It also meets CA emission standards and gets decent gas mileage. Versions of this engine also powered the Mclaren F1 cars that raced Le Mans in the mid 90's.

[Smokescreen]

'66 Ford 427 Cammer
657bhp, 550 lb-ft

[fpv_gtho]

i was under the impression the cammer was making closer to 700hp

[Ferrari Tifosi]

The Four Rotor Engine from the Mazda 787B
