Miata would be too heavy. Stripped out Lotus Exige, with a differential bias drive, or 12 speed sequential.... and skinny tires... like vintage Avon skinny.
First off, that sounds amazing. Second that's made from 2x 600cc bike engines which means the power doesn't happen before 6000rpm and only really gets going at 10,000rpm, screaming to ~13,000 before changing gear. Secondly, it means that puts out somewhere around 200bhp, which would make it stunningly well suited to a little, lightweight car, like the MX-5. I need it. 🤤🤩
Yea the power band for a motorcycle in-line four starts around 7-9 grand but in a v-8 configuration the crank cant turn that fast. It would also have more torque. Just because it’s two moto engines put together to make a into a v-8 doesn’t mean it still behaves like an inline 4

I've been dreaming of a motor like that. Some outboard boats have 2 stroke v6 configurations that are rad. Just need to find a way to run a really beefy heat exchanger so the exhaust doesn't melt the motor down. Kinda like a space shuttle booster nozzle, but running a refrigerant through the passages in the nozzle instead of fuel.
8 year old Video. how successful did this engine turn out yo be? What were some of the challenges in joining the two engines for reliability? Did you use this engine in anything like a car or boat?
It's basically a large motorcycle engine that can't fit in a motorcycle chassis. Would make a cool kart engine maybe, but not big enough for a car or any boat that wouldn't be better off with a conventional outboard.
Not sure if it’s the same brand, but check out Garland Wong Synergy V8 BRZ on RUclips. His engine is basically the same thing; two 4-cylinder motorcycle engines put together. Sound awesome. m.ruclips.net/channel/UCPb1lz5UKg3qyk_QbFQa-VAvideos

Practical or not doesn't matter as it's not Practical to bolt two 600cc engines together but it sure is cool.
@@T1000.Android I think that engine in a platform weighing much more than 1000lb would be less than fantastic. The Echo weighs 2000lb. Sure it would be enough power to move it, but not fast enough to save it from being totally ghey. It would almost take an LS swap to un-ghey an Echo, L0L. And you aren't going to take what is basically a mini OHC V8 and drop it into a highly specialized and demanding marine application like a jet ski. Maybe a snowmobile.
A dirt midget team from New Zealand built a similar engine to run the Chili Bowl with. They were told, “you get to run it one year, then it’s banned. We don’t want mini sprint car engines in midgets”. They ran it and made the feature on their first, and only, go. They finished in the top five at most and the top ten at least.
Pickens finished 11th, and Mosen finished 20th in those cars that year. Still very impressive they made the show. Pickens did run in the top 5 at one point during the race though.
@@trevor4533 Still good finishes! Hell, to get to the A is a success at the Chili Bowl. It was definitely a cool experiment. Pushing the “run what you brung” rule to its limit.
I must know how to build this, or I must have details on your crankcase!!!! I have been looking at doing this, but the Yamaha layout does not seem as easily modifiable as the Hayabusa engine. The cylinders aren't directly above the transmission, so mounting the extra cylinder bank seems difficult on the R6's.
this thing is amazing!! where do i have to go to see this monster in person, & would you guys please show a video of it being revved hard? its amazing!

Maybe I'm just extra stupid right now, but if I'm correct the person above is a moron and those are 2 600cc motorcycle engines merged and thus you can expect up to 260 hp~
Based on the revvs at 0:28, has that 4 banger vibe to it. And this was 2 600cc bike inline 4 engines joined together. Most inline 4 bike engines are flat planes. Imagine how this sounds if we could hear it revv to its max rpm!!! That would be incredible!!
I wish someone would make the Yamaha R1 Crossplane into a V8, it’s naturally suited to it. Especially when you already have a cross plane crank for it.
