Forced Induction V8s To Be Banned Soon

[GreenR32GTR]

so to sum this up - if it is forced induction from the manufacturer (say a ZR1 vette...lol) it is still OK. Or an R35 GTR.

well Chev make a 502ci 8 litre v8 lol...

[R31Nismoid]

You can get blown 540's without a worry and make a lazy 1000hp

But yes, engineers in Vic have not been signing off on large V8's into light cars for a number of years, hardly surprising.

I'll see your 540 and raise you another 32 cubic inches

That's 9.4 litres in newspeak. And in blown / chassis twisting form:

But that's just crate engines...custom and stroked out garner nearly limitless possibilities. The worlds fastest street legal vehicle was at some point a Calibra fitted with IIRC a 10.5 litre Chev big block V8.

well if going on size alone.... check this out LOL

1650in v12, 3000 hp

^^ So do these cars actually go anywhere or just stand-still and wheel spin?

[Beelzebub89]

they move the earth around the car iirc. Simple really..

Same bloke just wow'ed 'em at summernats with his latest creation based on the same sized engine, but this one is from a tank

(the chev had a P51 Mustang aeroplane engine in it, and when you consider that aeroplane engines run in the opposite direction to every other internal combustion engine, it makes the engineering of that thing all the more impressive IMO)

BTW - 1650ci? thats 27 litres in the new speak kiddies

[Stinky Rooster]

Although my personal favourite "monster" engine is actually a 4cyl...

Built for the 1912 Benz 82/200 it had a displacemnt of 21.5 litres!!! That is 5.375 litres PER CYLINDER!!!
