Found out there on the internet and I thought share it here. [youtube]7EGXo5HwIHk[/youtube] http://youtu.be/7EGXo5HwIHk The specs are: 45cc V8 Built from scratch from parts turned on the lathe Megasquirt MS2 fuel injection. 24 tooth trigger wheel for Megasquirt. Single fuel injector made from Punto injector internals. Pressurised oil system. Drilled crank. Alloy block. Cast iron wet liners. Vernier cam pulleys. Walbro fuel pump. Tungsten alloy flywheel. Bead blasted and anodised finish. Throttle position sensor on butterfly shaft Custom made 4 in 1 exhaust headers.
Truly amazing, although I can't help thinking that if I had the skills required to do that I might find something better to use them on
Watch this classic video for how to make them (and I suspect these ones are even smaller) [video=youtube;m3KdpzL3Hkk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3KdpzL3Hkk[/video]
Crank is easy - cams could be scaled down easily using a real cam as the template for grinder/follower - you would get great res on the smaller cams too. Its a lovely engine - the bonus is that it runs and not just spinning on compressed air Not to take from Eds thread, but these two are also top notch, spot the barbour pole dissy on the IL6, [video=youtube;9hJN6uhvYJE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hJN6uhvYJE[/video] These are the same guys that built the model Stu posted - this time running for real, [video=youtube;S7Woeiyrpn4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Woeiyrpn4&list=UUlm2GA8AKi9-dRuKo-K0KEg[/video] The sounds likeness to a v12 Bmw @ 1.30 is something else! Brian,
