AMC Powerplants: Engines of the Aurora Motor Company
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2014 9:25 amOne characteristic I want to put in my engines is a distinct 'VTEC just kicked in yo' effect. I know it hurts tameness, but it will mean a predictable engine with a broad, wide torque curve, then after the cam shift, it becomes a high performance engine.
4.8L Manticore V8
This is the halo engine of Aurora Motor Company until v10s and v12s come out.
4.8L Manticore Turbo V8
This is the turbocharged version of the above engine using the same engine block and pistons
Although I'm not sure how to stratify my engines - the next engine down would be an inline 6, but the turbo version of that one produces more power than the NA V8 - which means it would cannabilise sales of the V8.
