[POWERED by HONDA]

But... but... it won't rev to 8000rpm anymore!

We shouldn't hear anymore people complaining about the lack of torque at low rpms.

I wonder how many revs it idles at... and I'm also curious as to what its redline is.

I don't think we'll be seeing it on Monster Garage anytime soon!

If it is... there goes the light weight nimble sportscar idea. I would believe it if the car mags say it handles like a boat.

 

[Nimbus]

Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

HP : Displacement ???

Anyone calculate the ratio of H.P. to displacement (H.P./Litre)...? Normally aspirated too, huh. . . <haha>

 

[Black Knight]

whoa mama is right.......

for those that craves 10 cyclinder, here it is!

taking weight, hp/liter, gas consumption, size, etc.....

i think we can now get a better understanding of the tradeoffs.

 

[supergreen125]

WOW!!!
i bet the air filter on that beast is designed more for keeping people from getting sucked into the engine.

p.s. i bet if honda designed it they could bump the redline up to 112rpm!!

Looking at the picture - I think it needs a lightweight flywheel - that thing looks like it's 20 feet tall! Quick, someone send Chris at SoS an email...

Also, checking the torque figures, it comes out to 3.6 lb/ft per cubic inch - by comparison, a Chevy 350 making 350 lb/ft or toruq is 1 per cubic inch. Pretty impressive.

 

[Black Knight]

with this engine, i say leave it with the shop for about 3 months for maintenance.....conservatively speaking.

and if you think viper's 8L V-10 was long, think again......

 

[Osiris_x11]

ATTENTION...!

Wonder if it's in snap-ring range, lolz...

 

[4AU4LIFE]

I wonder if those are bigger than the engines that power Cruise Ships. I know that have got to be big also.

 

[NeoNSX]

ROFL... some very funny comments (love supergreen125's 112rpm redline! )

I wonder if they have a tacho-meter for this sucker?

 

[nicholas421]

you can probably squeeze out another 100 hp with a comptech sc.

 

[Brian2by2]

I would love to hear the sound with a GruppeM Intake!! And Taitec Exhaust!! Comptech Headers....man I can see it now!!

And I'm definetly putting a snow plow on the front of my car cuz ain't NOTHING (not even Brembo BiG Brakes) stoppin me!

 

[Black Knight]

you guys are funny.....with this engine, the NSX will now be officially selling for $100 Million....engine taking up 99.9999999% of the entire cost.

better put yourself on the waiting list.....it's gonna be a loooong wait.

 

[NeoNSX]

<B>Blue Knight</B> .... and you could power your local neighbourhood to recover the costs.

Only problem is this engine is diesel ... i wonder if they have an unleaded fuel version???

 

[4AU4LIFE]

Wonder how much boost you could run on that thing too.
Just imagine the width of the drive belt, about 6 feet wide !

I wonder if those are bigger than the engines that power Cruise Ships. I know that have got to be big also.

I remember this a while ago on the legend forums. I believe it is for a ship, and if not mistaken it is for a cruise liner ship.

 

[Rubber Chicken]

I think its safe to say that the next NSX will be made of aluminum to make up for the weight gains from the engine...
