Pretty cool clip, for any engine...

I was always under the impression that it was a twin V8 styled motor.

but the vid only shows a zig-zag pattern of 6 cylinders per bank (is that the correct terminology?).

I'm guessing the other 4 will be made where the block is attached onto the robot arm mechanism.

not much meat between each cylinder either.

the snails are tiny as, and i dont see how the matté black intercooler (with the BUGATTI logo on it) can work efficiently covered up?

EDIT: water to air intercoolers?

That doesn't look like an intercooler to me. Theres one on the other side too.

I'm on 56k so I didn't watch the video, but I'm guessing this is the motor out of the Bugatti Veyron?

Turbocharger layout looks to make a lot more sense in the photo of the actual engine compared to in the image.

But yeah, awesome vid. And the turbos do look a tad small dont they? But I guess there *is* four of them...

Click on the link, they are the intercoolers.. Remember they are exposed to the outside on the veyron so it will have a fair bit of airflow going past them..

someone mentioned they are water to air intercoolers - which makes sense

Yeah, that would probably be right, it's got something like 10 radiators in the car..

11 lol

But yeah i didnt think it was shaped that way either...makes more sense now. interesting....anyone want to make a straight 12 rb engine??? of center like that? get some serious power...and keep the single turbo...hahaha

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
