Cars: Currently: - VW Golf Mk3 Vr6
Ferrari-like engine + 4.0 i6 Turbo
Here are some of my engines:
The V8 is based on the ´Ferrari 458 Italia´ engine
-all aluminum V8
-bore and stroke: 94mm x 81mm
-DOHC 4V
-12,5:1 compression
-DFI
-570hp / 540Nm
I raised the compression a little to achieve the power output. The workhours are pretty high, but necessary for the reliability and the high revs ofc.
Rev limiter is way lower than it´s supposed to be (the 458 makes 570hp@9000rpm, limiter is at 9500 i think), but that´s just the way it is. Couldn´t get them any higher without ruining the reliability.
The second engine is based on Jaguars 4.0 AJ6 engine, but slightly altered.
Stock engine specs are:
-all aluminum i6
-bore and stroke: 91mm x 102mm
-DOHC 4V
-somewhat compression
-EFI
-245hp / 392 Nm
As you can see theres a little turbocharger and DFI.
This will be the entry level luxury sedan engine, but until that, it´s going to be overhauled several times.
Goals are flatter torque-curve and 35% efficiency at least.
If you wonder why it´s 95 octane: That´s the standard in Germany.
So tell me what you think. If you have similar engines, please don´t be afraid to show
