That is absolutely amazing.

I wonder what; if anything, it's going in?

Broken5hift · 01-18-2007, 03:17 PM

just please dont put it in a civic

DSMTJ · 01-18-2007, 03:40 PM

OMG that thing is amazing, but i would built my own chassis to put that thing in if I designed and built the motor too. Says it revs to 12,500 with over 500hp!!!

Crzyguy972 · 01-18-2007, 03:50 PM

wish i had the talent to do that

Oh ****! Now that would be a fun ride! I wonder how it would sound?

Twin_Cam · 01-18-2007, 07:57 PM

That's amazing. Wonder what it sounds like. An engine dyno video would be sweet.

jc8889 · 01-18-2007, 08:07 PM

I could just imagine doing a timing chain on that motor, I mean 3 timing chains.

LSHatch · 01-18-2007, 09:44 PM

That kid will be one thing when he graduates....

Rich.

**TROLL** · 01-18-2007, 10:16 PM

awesome, i apparently didnt understand how a W engine worked before, now i do. thats pretty sweet...

96s14 · 01-18-2007, 10:45 PM

3 liter and 500hp. That is very impresive. I think it would sound like a cross between and rb20det and a F1 engine. Just my .02 though. It really is an amazing feat. If you could sell that for under $10,000 i would pick it up without a doubt. However i am sure that motor even if made in more numbers would still be VERY expensive. The cost of the aluminum alone has to be a couple grand.

insane!

wgknestrick · 01-18-2007, 11:26 PM

Why did they drop so much money into building a W-9? It doesn't even come close to a decent HP/L or HP/lb. Step back and realize this isn't a production motor, but a purpose built "race" engine.

Should've just bought a Judd

It is cool (in the sense, yea we can do that). I too would like to hear it.

Turbo s60R · 01-18-2007, 11:39 PM

he said a little over 1000 hp with a tri-turbo setup

i love large bored motors with short stroke ratios, talk about high revving
