Caterham RSTV8

Been done, only they were bad-ass enough not to bother with connecting the two GSX-Rs

 

[TwinTurbos94]

I've seen the triple Turbo Supra before. The third one can't be seen because it's on the bottom.

What's your point? I didn't really claim they were the first to plant a V8 in a Seven, just that the RST is more relevant to Slicky's post.

 

[Metar]

Point is raising yet another awesome engine, simply related to your post - bike-engined Sevens.

And there's also the Cyclone bike-V8:

 

[Jim Prower]

Got Motor?

I think it's a radial.

 

[TwinTurbos94]

Is that a European Tractor puller? Cuz I've think I've seen that one before.

 

[Robin]

 

[Metar]

I think it's a radial.

Well, it's no inline for sure

It doesn't seem to have the proper mechanism for the whole engine to rotate, so it probably isn't a full radial. But, I can't say much without more info...

Judging by the pure insanity, it must be one. Looks like a puller...

You're thinking of a Rotary Piston engine. Radials had the same layout, but the crank rotated instead of the entire engine. Rotary Piston engines went out of style in WWI, while Radials continued on in light aircraft well into the '60s

Yeah, I did a search on "Pulling tractors" and found that Beaut of a Brute.

Oh, yeah

Definitely looks like a Radial. Monster thing...

 

[High-Test]

Crop dusters and many utility planes still use radials, as they have a better frontal surface area for cooling.

Is that monster in the Tractor one of those multibanked Chrysler engines?

 

[Jim Prower]

I seriously haven't a clue. I was thinking it was one of those big bomber engines.

 

[stumpydino]

two engines? pah

 

[Jim Prower]

HAH. Ivo's quad-engined Buick! (Showtime?)

and a Mustang I dont' recognize.

 

[Serge.D]

599 GTB Fiorano.

 

[High-Test]

I seriously haven't a clue. I was thinking it was one of those big bomber engines.

It doesn't look like one. The Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major was one of the biggest radials EVER, but it had 4 rows of cylinders, and the banks weren't straight, for cooling purposes. That one looks watercooled.

HOORAY FOR IVO!

yupyup
pretty much all built by one guy

Gary Weckesser's four wheel-drive Mustang, which mounted four 351 Clevelands in a Kent Fuller chassis. Named the Mach IV, this car match-raced the Wagon Master at least once in 1970 before disappearing.

the only multi-engined car in the world to run four engines with power to all four wheels through a single clutch apparently

 

[ND4SPD]

Jesus, I'd love to see that thing run.

 

[Jim Prower]

What do you do when you need 5,500 HP? one Turbo? Two Turbos?

How about four?

And It's still an ACERT. It's Eco-friendly(er) to boot!

Some big loco diesels I missed earlier.

Baldwin 608A

Fairbanks-Morse 38D-8

 

[High-Test]

And it's got that Caterpillar engine..

 

[McLaren]

What the hell does that go into?!

 

[Jim Prower]

It's a Genset, think it goes into a building, for emergency power. You could put it into a locomotive, too.

The factory says it's rated for 2-4 Megawatts for that particular Genset.

 

[McLaren]

Ah, figures then. I thought it went into one of those gigantic construction machines.

 

[Jim Prower]

Oddly enough, CAT just lets Komatsu get the "Worlds' Biggest" titles. We have a lot more money to make in the pretty big, but not so big there isn't much of a market machine market.

((We do have World's Biggest Mechanical Drive Off-Highway Dump Truck. Komatsu's bigger truck is a diesel-electric, as was the Terex Titan and Leibherr truck. And our Track-Type Tractors {"Bulldozers"} are the only ones with raised sprockets, and again the D-11 is second only to Komatsu.))

Step back in time. e31 motor in an e30:

Jesus, thats hot.. I've got an E30 as a daily driver, but that makes me want to take it off the road and start a swap. Is that car yours?

 

[Cano]

I have yet to see an engine/engine compartment better looking than the Chicayne's:

in the car it looks even better, vene if the car is pretty ugly; 1,200 hp 408 ci small block with two turbos:

this is the car:

 

[bergauk]

Thats pretty sleek looking. But does it serve a purpose for that car to have that much power?

 

[homeforsummer]

Did a search in the thread to see if it'd been posted so far, but apparently not:

The Alfa Romeo V6:

And one with some mighty intake trumpets:

To be fair, I didn't say what it was, just posted the picture.

 

[homeforsummer]

Whoops. I did think it strange that nobody had posted already, but really I should have looked through the thread first instead of just posting...
