    Honda F1 Engine

    Something I came across on the net.

    It's a short video, but real cool nonetheless.

    cool vid, seemed to be directed towards a slightly less knowledgable crowd tho, not too much technical talk. still, 18,000 rpms never ceases to amaze me, somehow i don't think my '90 civic could do that

    amazing how that engine looks like that of an old small block, compared to modern engines with all the plastic coverings and the airbox routing. 300 times a second is crazy.

    I could listen to that engine all day long. Hell I wish I had it like tuned to my daily routine. I probably would get a hell of a lot more done if that sound was constantly around.

    nice video. the piston moves up and down alot so youd imagine the average piston velocity is pretty high and it is. but to reduce friction a bit and increases revability the piston stroke is about 2/5 of its bore. i moddeled a similar ferreri setup and it was good fun and quite revealing.
