parrot Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 So if I put some of that "custom crafted lubricant blend" in my K motor, how many kilowatts will I get? Maybe I should use that instead of good old HPR50. Coming to a supercheap near you real soon Quote
GJM85 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 It's likely some cross plane, high rpm, low torque thingamajig suited to a momocycle. If it made 150rwhp in a 900kg car it'd be cool. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 This thing has been floating around the ether of the internet for 2-3 years with no productuon, major information, specs or figures. Show me one on a dyno or in a car and I might get excited. Quote
coln72 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Still nice to dream... Engine ran at Le Man in 2015 Edited May 5, 2016 by coln72 Quote
parrot Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 Whatever the case, it's a pretty stunning achievement Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Still nice to dream... Engine ran at Le Man in 2015 And the car only lasted 6 laps too... Quote
coln72 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Posted May 6, 2016 Wasn't it the gearbox that failed though? Quote
kickn5k Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) There must be downsides..... Logetivity? I'm wondering much boost it's running to make those numbers. That's gotta limit it's reliability. Edited May 6, 2016 by kickn5k Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Wasn't it the gearbox that failed though? Correct, but helps to put things in perspective considering all the fuss which is suddenly being made of this engine again for some reason. Quote
