How about that workhorse? 1.6L, 2bbl. (thinking about going twin Solexes, though)

I don't get the point of arguing 4000hp-out-of-400-cubes. It's not normal fuel. Give them regular gasoline, pit them against modern-day F1 engines, then talk again.

It was in reference to the supercharged V-8, stating that it had the highest hp/liter. The type of fuel it uses is irrelevant.

It does to me...

F1 engines of the late '80s developed 1000HP in race trim, and regularly put out about 1200hp in qualifying-trim, out of 1.5l turbocharged engines, on pretty much stock fuel. With alcohol and various additives, there's no doubt they'd easily pass 4000hp out of those small engines. So yes, fuel does matter.

And since when was the argument with you?

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Mmm, yes...

 

[Venari]

Not an engine... but the heads that are going on the rebored 327 that's going into my C1 Corvette. Trick Flow Kenny Duttweiler's.

 

[Keef]

Um... mid-80's F1 engines were achieving nearly 1500hp from 1.5 litres... and on 'normal' fuel (hah) and doing it for minutes at a time in qualifying and nearly two hours (albeit closer to 1000hp) in race trim.

FYi.

And how much torque did those engines have? I can't tell you how much torque a top fuel engine has. Nobody knows.

EDIT: Reading others' arguments I begin to wonder what an F1 motor would do running nitromethane... Venari, experiment!

You like to tow things with your racecar, do you?

 

[Matt R]

How about this bad boy?



Exhaust speeds of around 10 times the speed of sound at sea level.

 

[Keef]

That's a pansy engine. These...

...are what rocket engines are all about.

 

[Matt R]

I suppose that's a good way to one up a one upper.

True, F1s don't need that torque in the first place.

I'm sorry children, It's time for the manly engines.

It's a Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major. It's huge, it's loud and it's thirstier than the rest of the thread combined. I saw one at the Fargo Air Museum today. I think it's the size of an original BMC Mini.

And.. I saw This today. It had just landed.

The only airworthy F2G Super Corsair in existence. This is what happens when aircraft designers take a Chance-Vought F4U Corsair and put a Wasp Major in it. The guy that owns it just bought another to restore for static display. Ten were built, Three still exist, and one man in North Dakota owns two of them.

Majorly awesome? Yes. Beautiful? Not my cup of tea

Keef, post pics of your whale-dick intake engine bay!

Oh.... eww. What? Why? How do you know what a whale.... nevermind.

 

[Gashlycrumb]

I don't know why but I really like this:

It is a J's Racing Honda Fit with an individual throttle-bodied, 320 horsepower K24. Beautiful.
