Low and super low horse power

I've seen a high horse power thread now I am making a low and super low HP thread I'm talking about sub .5 liter engines that can run it's whole RPM range 2000-12000 and still work. I'll try and upload some of my attempt soon i'd love to see 100 HP or less that can still run.

Re: Low and super low horse power

Have you watched my Youtube video on this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go0dtHPDSIY (second part)
Is this what you want? I think Kubboz currently holds the record with below 10 kW :)
Cheers!

Re: Low and super low horse power

Oh, it's not below 10 kW.
The lowest I can get to is 10.4 kW, as you can see in the attachment.
By lowering cam profile by 1, I can get it to 10.1 kW, but it's debatable if it actually reaches the 12000 RPM limit.

Re: Low and super low horse power

i had an engine make 0.1KW - that said - it could only idle - the momen you put it on the dyno and it idled for a bit and then went FU**IN BANG!

not terribly reliable when the main feature of the engine is it explodes D:

Re: Low and super low horse power

By "across the full range" we mean non-zero power at every RPM value. So the engine you filmed is not a "valid entry" as such, even though it does generate very little power :)
