Best engine configuration?

[peasea]

Structurally good shape, hugely flexible and inherently well ballanced. Turn on/off whichever cylinders you need and tune the timing/fueling to suit.

Ok, a big scooter then. A pink one.

[boman]

But then again there is the V-1650 Merlin or the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp Radial. Both sound absolutely phenomenal at revs.

You can do anything with cubes.

To a certain degree.
Even Clarkson likes the ZR1.

Shit! So the Caltex ad was actually real!!



Edit:

Even at its most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour

That's just insane...

Lol, ja.
Even in his non-entertaining factual way.
Loved when they set off the car alarms though ha ha.


But he rode a scooter. A vespa, even. He cannot be used as rebuttal!


But I wouldn't mind a ZR1
Alongside my RB26DETT S13.
When I get it, anyway.

Very nice!


Not related but I just found this. Thought I should share
From BMW M5 S85 V10 Engine, another my fav.

I only used his appraisal coz he's such a cynical cock especially when it comes to US tin. (Or plastic, as the case may be.)

Either way, thank you LOTUS for a primo engine.

What's wrong with a Vespa anyway, it's what all sports bike riders aspire to.

Whoever set up that lot probably went cross-eyed.

Notice there's a bolt missing?

The Toyota one?

No this one; it's water cooled.

Holy crap. Imagine the feeling you would have, after finishing up that build. Go to shake out your cloths, and give yourself a pat on th- TINGGGG TING TING. And a bolt is sitting on the ground in front of you.

The boot ha ha.
He's a funny bugger, always watch that show. His snide remarks towards our culture are actually funny!

2ZZ VVTL-i. One supercharged engine sipping on bio I'll never have enough money to own.

Vespa... Meeeh. There are better scooters, silly. Like zx-14's, thou's...

You can't beat the torque of a V twin and the fun of coming out of a corener throttling on hard, they just pull forever and brakes what are they, wind off and you damn near stop on a dime.

Engine braking, I like engine braking. (In fact, I need it...)
