Neat little V8 engine

[Bitsamissing]

I'm hearing you bigmuz.

An old mate (when retired) used to machine up those little working steam engines & complete model train sets, before he croaked. Awesome amount of work, though not as much as that V8 looks to be.

Wow that is cool, wonder what sort of power it puts out?

[GTSBoy]

Quite a large amount. Even at only 1 HP per cubic inch you are talking nearly 6HP, and I bet that with 9.0:1 compression, 12000rpm and a supercharger that you would have at least 1.5HP per cube.

cheers

I have an AVI of a minature V8 running somewhere... sounds sweet as :D

Not sure how well that blower works- pretty rudimentary blower.

But the rockers and pushrods and .. dang...

Make a pretty sick whipper snipper.

Or pushbike I guess..

Weight is 12 kilos I think I read.

I would have made it a two stroke but I guess that is missing the point. :D

Anyone have the video of the guy that built a Fezza version?

[lambs]

That would be the Morbidelli V8

Took them a while......1955-1957 Moto Guzzi 500cc V8, 75bhp@12000rpm:

I would like to see a two stroke v8 - talk about high rpm.

From the 1998 Suzuki C2 concept car - 1.6 litre twin turbo V8...

Apologies for pic sizes...




Just as an aside, a 3.0 litre Suzuki V10...

[Billzilla]

Vrfour, bloody good work!
I always wanted pics of that engine.
And of course I always wanted that engine very badly as well.

[Little Erve]

That's sex.

Edit: Intresting how much power that 3L v10 makes.

[Bitsamissing]

Even the engine stand has me salvitating

581kw @ 15,000rpm, is that what i'm reading there? must be a methanol/C16 sucking atmo monster, never heard of even close to that power figure from a 3L atmo before. then again, with a 15,000rpm ceiling it doesn't need to be making a lot of torque to get that power figure right up there....

You are looking at F1 territory there.

Since when did Suzuki have an F1 engine?
