Re: Engine Idea 80 valves  I bet it takes a week to lap them in malcolm we might have to consider widening the car now. Or forget a gearbox and just have a final drive. I think it might have the torque to get around the lack of gears   Hayabusa Turbo? wouldnt work for a road car but as a track car maybe West

Re: Engine Idea Funny you suggest that Neil.
That's what they're fitting in the Silverstone Rossa.

Re: Engine Idea I've found a way!!!! Back on topic I did once see, at Oulton Park, a car powered by a 2 stroke V8 engine made by mounting 4 sets of Yamaha TZ cylinders and heads on a beautifully machined custom crankcase. I can't remember how it went but I do remember the sound with 8 unsilenced expansion boxes. This must be pretty much the ultimate however!  It's a 48 cylinder 4 litre 2 stroke made from cylinders and heads from a Kawasaki KH 250 triple.
