  • never mind i posted to early

  • i was hoping for a deeper grumble

  • nice im building one of these

  • 12 dislikes asre ricer burners

  • @kcaltman First off I hope you're not comparing that to the engine in this video that's running on pump gas. Obviously they weren't built with the same goal in mind.

    Somebody may have pushed a 2L to 2000HP at God only knows how much boost, 80, 90psi? And 2000HP out of 2L is on par with Top Fuel and all but it's good for what? about 15 seconds of fun? 2000HP out of, for example, an 8L is a gift that just keeps on giving. There's a reason these engines are big.

  • put one in a poofy Smart car.

  • @kcaltman I hate to burst your bubble but that motor is capable of making a lot more than 1000 HP. Lets see your 2L make 2000 + HP.

  • How would you guys think about putting one of these into a vw rabbit?

  • @kcaltman They all running on pump gas? Besides, some of those engines you named may make 1000 peak HP, but none of them have torque curves like this thing.

    You want something interesting check out SAM's 7.1L 1000HP all motor Camaro. Might not be streetable but it pulls a 3500 lbs car into the mid 8's, not a tin can with a roll cage and a huge turbo. Those are (comparatively) easy to make fast. Hell, I'd bet a 600 or 700 HP V8 could get one into the 8's.

  • @kcaltman but how many 2.0 liter Hondas making 1000 hp on 92 octane pump gas do you see driving on the street? If you know where they reside and catch them on camera just cruisin' around town-please do us all a square and post it.

  • his talking gave me diabetes.

  • FF to 2:54 for engine ignition.

  • @levistoner thank you!

  • there's no way a fuckin rice burner motor could fuck with that beast! that could haul a load the size of a house from New York to L.A. The motor would fry in your Jap trap the moment you tried to pull it.

  • Nice torq curve. Civic cannot do that, but it usually weights half that amount where this engine is going to... :) I don't anyway like Hondas, as those burn rubber from the wrong end of the car. :)

  • I have one of those yellow Stanley blower fans! LOL

  • noise stars at 2:50

  • all you people shootin ur loads all over the screen at a stroked big block with a pro charger ....at the very least it should have made 1000 hp big frickin deal.... you bored me with this and these comments made by what i can only assume to be 10th graders who have never seen an engine before ever in life .....pleeease give me a break

  • @kathrynw3 Its 1000HP on 92 octane. That's the big frickin deal. Not every motor on the road can make 1000HP on pump gas, much less have such a beautiful torque curve. This is what Steve Morris likely refers to as a mild street motor.

  • wow thats a bad mama jama our 532s do 1050 1100 on motor

    

  • wow thats a bad mama jama our 532s do 1050 1100 on motor

  • they make 1000 hp seem like such a big deal when they could be pushing over 1350. So therefore, I rest my case by saying, there are better alternatives.

  • @BugattiFan301 Fuck man, does the word “concise” mean anything to you? Y I really don’t care about the exact definition of a pro stock engine. Its irrelevant. My point was is this engine makes 1000 pump gas horsepower. Is capable of cruising around town like grandma’s Lincoln and running 9’s on the weekend. That’s what makes it cool. Who cares if it can make more power. It's not a race motor. 

  • to sometimes over 800 ft-lbs of torque at around 8000 rpm and over 1350 hp @ 9,700-9,800rpm. They are the ultimate in 2-valve na engines. over 2.7 horsepower per cubic inch. but of course, like you said OBVIOUSLY not streetable. However, from a 541, you could easily get 750hp @6000rpm and 650 ft-lbs of torque just from some as cast 345cc 24 degree bbc heads naturally aspirated. Add a high helix 14-71 supercharger (which, by the way makes the same amount of boost at any rpm, takes off the line

  • shut up and start the engine!

  • man, that is one overpriced, overcomplicated bunch of hoopla piece of SHIT.

  • @BugattiFan301 Wow, talk about jealous. Usually people accuse American engines as being unsophisticated. It’s a big freaken motor with a centrifugal blower that can run on pump gas and makes 1000HP. It doesn’t even have EFI. How is it complicated? Are you just mad because it makes the same power as a big bad Bugatti engine with half the cylinders, almost non of the technology, and for a fraction the price?

  • @Warblade118 Actually, a power level of 1000hp is achievable without any forced induction from a 540 chevy, especially with 18 degree pro stock or even 12 degree heads. With a tunnel ram manifold, it may even be possible to achieve 1,100 horsepower (with a BMEP of around 220 and peak horspower occuring around 7,800 rpm. However, an engine that revs past 8000 rpms and uses EXPENSIVE valve springs, valves, and lifters, etcettera, in the valvetrain.

  • Comment removed

  • @BugattiFan301 Actually a power level of 1000HP is achievable from a 433 ci 9000rpm+ Chevy without any forced induction (look up SAM’s LSX) but its not streetable. Neither is a 540 pro stock engine. The supercharger on this engine allows for 1000 Streetable HP. Streetable is the key word here. You can drive this thing to the grocery store and on weekends runs low 9’s on pump gas. That’s the achievement here.

  • @Warblade118 You cannot have a 540 (or actually, it really rounds off to 541 4.500 bore x 4.250 stroke) in pro stock. I was referring to the 18 degree heads that brodix and dart cylinder heads offer. Pro stock heads usually have 2.600" intake valves with 500+ cc intake ports. They also have a bore/stoke ratio of about 1.327:1 and run a cam with about 280 degrees int. duration and 300 degress exhaust duration @.050" lift. This all adds up to an engine which produces about 760 ft-lbs of torque and

  • @Warblade118 much, much quicker) at a "streetable" 10 percent overdrive (2070 cfm @6000 rpm, 18 lbs of boost, also "steetable") and you are making about 1180 ft-lbs of torque and 1350 hp. As much as a pro stock, but more torque. Clearly two 1050 cfm holley carburetors can support that airflow(also "streetable"). At those boost levels on street gas you could probably get about a 8.5 or 9:1 compression ratios. Also the engine proposed would probably cost much less than the engine seen here. hmmm..

  • No your civic cannot do that!

  • @spannerpro sooooo what a honda still can make a 1000hp stop hating and just love all cars and engines for what they are from v2s to v24s... are what ever just live with it imports are the thing now jdm as well as edm

  • Cost? $20k?

  • Comment removed

  • I like how fast the engine recovered from the dyno load up I personally would have went with a solid roller, but then again I wouldn't bother me taking off the valve covers and resetting lash once in a while.

  • tecnologia da museo

  • I feel the power of 1000hp :-)

  • how much to set it up in to your car hole thing how much hook it all up

  • amazing

  • Hahaha you don't need a "pro" charger to make 1000hp from a 540. How much boost pressure are you making? like 5 PSI? haha. I agree with chevyvictor, most of this video is just talking, not dyno. get with the program.

  • @BugattiFan301 no shit maken 1200 with a na 505 with single dominator

  • Steve Morris is THE guy if your building a ProCharger motor. Big help with my F3R 139 572 BBC. Bob Lambeck is building the short block and it may be too much for his dyno to test. With Steve's help we should make 1200HP on pump gas and 1600HP on race gas. Easy street motor to scare the neighbors.

  • Nice looking engine but doesn't idle at at 1000rpm like he said, idels about 1250 and almost stalled out after both pull, seemed to have to baby it to keep it running, not sure what going on there, but still very informative.

  • i agree, - not too sure whats going on. the way it acts seems like the recovery idle is set to low - but 1250 is where my first stage choke kicks in which isnt low at all. maybe has something to do with the cam combo he is running for a procharger-built motor?

  • too much talking i got pissed off waiting. less talk more engine noise

  • @chevyvictor agreed

  • Is the belt supposed to have that much play?

  • This engine is not N/A it has a supercharger.

  • How much would that cost?

  • ill take one lol bad ass its just a normal pump gas engine lol

  • The Ford Cammer was not banned due to power. In 1965 Nascar's Bill France did not want to start a engine war, he banned the cammer because if Ford were allowed a SOHC then Chrysler would introduce a DOHC hemi, this would cause things to be extremely unsafe. Also, fyi, no ford cammer motor ever left the assembly line in ford street driven cars, only photos to show journalists,where as the hemi was sold of the showroom floor and raced, but...this technically was not a violation of nascar rules.

  • I know that. The Cammer was only a special over the counter motor that you could purchase for your car if you had the funds to do so. And 2urbo is wrong because the new cammer crates engine's that they build now have over 750HP + for street applications BONE STOCK and no Benz V8 can even touch it stock vs. stock.

  • Well, is it classified in the same way as the Benz?

    Plus, the 427 is somewhat bigger, but when you compare them, the Benz is better. Let me tell you something, compare a 6.2 liter american V8, without forced induction to the Benz, and you will see that the Benz is victoriously. You know why? Proper assembly, and technology.

  • Yeah and I can buy and build a complete Ford 427Ci Side oiler from Robert Pond Motorsports for under $13,000 and have 760Hp Pump Gas Motor. I would love to see you build a BMW OR Mercedes with that much power for $13,000 N/A.I would be waiting a long time for that kid because it would cost you easily 2-3 more then that to see that type of power from a euro V8.Also when has F1 ever ran a V8?And FYI nascar banned the Ford 427 cammer because it had more power then any V8 ever made even today stock

  • 2.4 liter V8 engines are used in f1, and they produce more than 700hp and spin to 18-19k rpm:D

  • Who cares honestly?How do we go from talking about a Lemans race where they used Modified FACTORY cars to a fucking F1 race? Not even the same thing.And you don't want to admit that domestic car can and will own EURO cars on the race track in majority of races and even in drifting.Also you couldn't even name a EURO big block V8 that can even hang with the 427 Ford Cammer can you? That is what I thought. What happen we GM brought over the ZR-1 vette over to europe to race?It dominated everything

  • Gimme,Gimme!!

  • Racing engine?? Even Mercedes engines has more torque than that, with way much less horses!

  • it says street engine, the entire video is about how its a street engine. And you realize you are downplaying 1000hp.

  • I know, but the firm who "produce" the engines make racing engines, and it should have been more torque with THAT amount of horses, but i guess it's just typical american engines.

  • You are an idiot..

  • Hm, are you trying to tell me something....?

  • yes. you are an idiot if you think what you said is possible!

  • That does not make me an idiot, you dork. Most american engines suck, face it. European/japan engines have always kicked import-cars in europe/japan, and as imports, the european/japan cars have always impressed american, just look have many replica's there are in american models of european/japan cars.

  • did you actually call me dork? :DDDD

    and you are the one that has to face the fact that you wrota total bullshit. American ENGINES are the ones that kick asses of anything else even though the handling of cars they put them in is not so good. take a look at some nascar engines and you'll faint. and these are not just bald words commin out of my mouth just because i heard it somewhere like you did.. it is BULLL SHIT!! learn something bout engines ok?

  • Well, not all american engines suck..... The 5.4 liter V8 in the GT500 mustang, and the ford GT are good, supercharged V8..... It's a blueprint of a European engine though.....

  • True. GM engines are not so good in stock form because they have various different issues but those issues are independent of engine's design, type etc. With adequate corrections they become monsters just like R07. Europeans like to think of "LUXUS" stuff that has no use even in race engines.. (not F1)

  • what issues do gm v8 engines have

  • All sorts of. The correct question would be, what issues DONT gm v8's have.

  • name one problem

  • For is an exception because they take example from europeans. Many don't like to consider them americans for it.

  • Yeah Ford did copy the design of the OHC designed motors from the Europeans, But no Euro V8 motor will ever compete against the Ford 427ci SOHC Cammer Big Block Ford with natural power that motor produces. And that the 427CI SOHC CAMMER spins up on the RPM range at over 9000 RPM's for a Big Block V8. And the only way American V8's will get raped sometimes is if the 4 or 6 Cylinder has a power adder like a Turbo set up or a Supercharger. But motor vs. motor N/A no 4or 6 cylinder will touch a V8.

  • Will not touch a V8 I meant

  • Do you know who makes the most powerful N/A V8 in a production car?? Not american.... It's a German car, Mercedes-Benz. Look it up. 6.2 liter, 520 horses 640 NM. The closest competitor, is the new z06, but it is a 7 liter, and it is just close, not better. Look up the new SLS AMG, it buttfucks corvettes and vipers.

  • wrong

  • european V8 stock to stock buttfucks american V8 with almost half the displacement of a american V8, take E92 M3 for example 420HP out of a 4.2l V8 so if BMW would have 427ci to play with it would make atleast 700hp stock out of factory

  • Lol What do you think the Bone stock Ford 427 Sohc cammer V8 had? 656Hp UNDERRATED meaning it had easily 100+ more HP then what they rated it at in the 1960's. Also you must not ever watch PInks because I have seen M3's get owned on that show by Old American Muscle and the M3 owner lost the title to their M3 for losing the race. So don't tell me that M3's are so good ; when they get fucking owned every time on that show by cars that are Decades older using Old School Technology.

  • Yeah it taken what 4 camshafts to produce that type of power right? When Ford had the 5.0 Liter BOSS 302CI produce that power in the 60's during the muscle car era and you got it right with ONE camshaft. Can EURO's build a Push Rod V8 that would amount to anything? Probably not and sorry But America owns when building a push rod V8 that pack some potent power. Maybe you need to LEARN about Carrol Shelby and how bad he owned Ferrari in Racing in the Muscle

  • Car era

  • why would you even use push rod technology, thats so like 40 years old, and it will fail more often than OHC due to broken/bent rods. and that 427ci cammer want even serial produced so if you wanna talk about engines that arent on the street, than let's start with f1, do nascar N/A engines rev to 19000? and why is there no american companies in f1? because you just can't make the engine and chassis that would preform, all you can do is go fast in straight line, geee thats special:D

  • Um wrong. You must not have ever watched the Lemans race over near Tampa bay have you. Do you want to know what car was RAPING every other car that raced in it? Chevrolet Corvette and I am not even a GM fan at all, and it was shitting all over EURO cars the WHOLE ENTIRE RACE. So you do not know what the fuck you're talking about " going in a strait line" Sorry Lemans racing is more then a strait line.And what are you talking about the 427 Cammer you can purchase for your HOT ROD with street comp

  • @svedr I'm not going to get into an argument about valvetrain technology here, but I'll just point out that over head valve engines were designed around 1902, and over head cam engines were out around ten years later. Both technologies are quite old.

  • Hm, do you know why euro/jap manufactures are not building pushrod engines? Because it is old style.

  • Yeah I know it is old school technology, But that doesn't mean that I cannot build a OLD V8 that will walk all over a modern V8. And you need to do research before stating a comment like a Modern Day crate engine 427 Cammer cannot compete with a Benz V8. Please I called a race shop in KY that build them and he can build one that has over 1500HP N/A for Drag racing or one with streetable compression with around 750HP and over 800FT TQ and that spins up over 9000 RPM's bone stock for a Big blockV8

  • God i wish there where more people like you :D

  • I know and it helps that I do research on everything that I post.

  • wrong

  • I know, but still you try to convince me..... With that horse shit.

  • well ill keep my gm and you can take your over priced shit car lol what horse shit if your talking making power american v8s are the why to go. what will Mercedes do you give them ten grand to upgrade your engine and make 50 more horsepower get the fuck out of hear. the only thing you know about cars is what you read on wiki and in mags and see on top gear you proberly cant event change your oil

  • I know enough, but that was just a source.... Do you have a problem with wikipedia? Dont you rely on facts??

    And yes, i know how to change to oil on my car. I did it a month ago, Mobil1 oil 0 - 40W. And i was planning changing the automat oil and the filter on the transmission, and the gasoline filter, but it is so cold outside.

  • i dont really have a problem with wiki but dont always rely on that because the stuff on their is not always true anyone can but shit on there

  • Well, the source to wikipedia is MOTOR TREND. Which accidentally has the video at youtube. Just ask Motor Trend, the Viper was HARD-CORE set-up. The Zonda F Clubsport and the MC12 was factory standard, not set-up for the track, and only 2 seconds slower. If they had been adjusted, they would have been quicker. You know why? Midplaced engines and less weight.

  • The viper they used was the Hardcore package, not a hard-core setup lol. The Hardcore package just drops a little more weight, still a factory standard car. If they had been adjusted? You mean the 600k price difference couldn't keep up? I hate bringing up prices, but that's just ridiculous.

  • i am done with you you have no clue about cars your rely on other peoples knowledge and not your own get your hands dirty get some experience and learn and lose your fanboyism before you try and sound like an expert i was going to school you but i think it would be a wast of time

  • and if you got the wrong idea i have nothing aginst Mercedes

  • A blueprint of a foreign engine is a blueprint of a piece of crap. Who taught you about engines?

  • Who had electronic injection first? Mercedes (in 1954), not not an american. Who had dual overheaded cams first?? Fiat (in 1913), not american. Who had independent front suspension first? Lancia (in 1922), not american..... In fact, most american cars TODAY doesnt have independent front suspension...... Thats sad. You know who invented the flaot carburator?? Daimler (The Mercedes-company), you know who invented the internal combustion engine?? Benz and Daimler & Maybach (in 1886)

  • lmfao i beat Mercedes all the time in my 23 year old Buick and it has the same old ass v6 it came with 23 years ago with and it has independent front suspension name a few American cars the dont have independent front suspension these days name a few American cars that have not had independent front suspension in the last 10 years and grow up and lose your fanboyism already

  • So you are sying Mercedes are the quickest?? No, but the most comfortable, yes.

    Euro/asian cars had that for decades!

    What about the suspension at the back??

    Have you seen a domestic car with independent suspension at the end??

    Just look at the corvette, still using leaf springs.

    Americans just cant make sportscars.

  • yes i have seen American cars with irs and the corvette has had irs sence what 1963 or something like that and has for years yes leaf springs mono leaf spring made out of composite materials and its done for a reason

  • Yeah, because it's CHEAP.

  • i reduces un sprong weight

  • @statonracing This guy hasn't heard of true muscle The BOSS mustang a10.0L engine 0-60 in 1.9 sec. the new ZR1s will outrun his GTR, 559,and GT2. Not just that America's sports cars are a lot cheaper than his euro or jap cars. Plus every car and every make has so kind of defect.

  • @Smokie420ish hey u like mustangs well me and my dad are rebuilding a mustage fast back with a 645hp big block 2 lage tanks of nos later we are puting a 985hp big block after its done its in building now

  • Yeah I like certain years of the mustangs like the one you and your dad are rebuilding and that's pretty cool. I wish me and my dad could rebuild a old chevelle or dart. It would be nice.

  • Airbag? Mercedes. Honeycomb radiator? Mercedes. Drop chassis? Mercedes. First passenger car to have brakes on ALL four wheels? Mercedes. Crumble zones with safety cage/cell? Mercedes. Traction control? Mercedes. pre-tensioners to seat belts? Mercedes. First seven speed automatic gearbox? Mercedes. Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)? Mercedes. The most powerful naturally-aspirated eight cylinder engine in the world? (525 hp, 640 nm) Mercedes. Pre-safe? Mercedes. I can do this all day.. Can you?

  • what do you drive ill talk my gm engines over any other in the world theirs a reason so many people use them have you ever even built a engine

  • @ht666th But germans can built good engines too!

  • European/japan cars never impressed me

  • Donut syndrome, you always think you HAVE to have a 7 liter V8, but infact many americans gets raped by small 4 sylinders, and medium sized inline 6's.

  • Wake up. Where did you learn about engines? Magazines. Go to an engine

    rebuild shop and wake up. Really.

    What is going on on the German tracks lately?

  • American cars/engines sucks. It's a fact.... Lately, they have become more alike euro/jap engines/cars. It's a fact too.

  • Yeah and I can build a Domestic for a 1/3 of the price of any euro or Jap car and it will walk all over it. N/A vs. N/A and V8 vs. V8 and what are you talking about Mercedes had the most powerful V8 produced? Wrong it was FORD with the N/A 427CI FORD SOHC CAMMER BIG BLOCK V8 that was even more powerful then any EURO N/A V8 EVER MADE and with a STREET ABLE COMPRESSION I MIGHT ADD. Name one Mercedes V8 that can naturally spin up to OVER 9000RPM's with a BIG BLOCK V8? Not one

  • Do you even know why domestics are so cheap.....? It's made of shit, and any euro/jap car is 10 times more durable and safer than domestics. Plus, domestics are getting more and more alike euro/japs. I dont really think that old crappy sohc engine is better than the 6.2 liter V8 from Mercedes. Whats the point of a V8, when it screams like a inline engine? The point of a V engine to produce low revolution horses, instead of screaming high ones..? And, if they wantet to, it would go to 10 000.

  • Yeah domestic made of shit? Yeah that is why i own a 1970 Mercury Cougar that starts up every time and is built like a fucking Sherman Tank. I am not knocking on Benz because I also own a 1983 300D Turbo Diesel which is a very good car. Isn't is funny how the Australians love FORD V8's gee I wonder why? I know because when built properly nothing can compete with them except Mopar V8's

  • This is not about your personal preferences, mister. American cars are cheap, and not made to last. "Expensive" cars in usa is normal cars in europe and asia. For example, the life sycle of an old Mercedes is comparable to 3 car generations in usa.

  • @ 2urbo2 iam not realy impressed with European engines their are a couple of good jap engines but most cant make alot of low end torque which causes you to spin high rpms to make power hp=tqxrpm/5252 but if you have a light jap car you dont really need alot of torque or want it depending on what your using the car for shit i dont really hear of any engines but american ones that can run 2000 plus hp and still be a street car in fact name one jap/euro engine that can

  • Well, thats where MY point gets good, euro/asian engines dont need that power to move fast, because the weight is been in focus, same with handling.

    Example, Mustang and Civic type R, not in the same leage, but still, the Civic will outrun the heavier Mustang, though the Mustang has a bigger engine, and more horses.

    Infact, have you ever seen a nicely tuned euro/asian car?? More smoothly tuned car wont come from the us of a.

  • yes i have seen very well tuned jap and euro cars and there are alot of really nice and fast jap and euro cars are in fact tuned and built right here in the us of a and i have help build a few bmws and jap cars mostly Honda's and Nissan but alot of people are starting to put generation iii and iv gm v8s in their cars because because actually offer a better weight distribution and better street manners

  • with alot of power compared to small displacement engines and extremely reliable and cheep for what u get alot of people get 5.3L gm engines from the junk yard throw a turbo injectors and tune and run tens and nines in the 1/4 and on the Honda vs mustang thing what mustang are you speaking of and i think that would depend on the track but i would like to see both with a good suspension setup and tires and see who wins i could go on all day on engines and cars but it comes down to what you like

  • how does that make seance your talk about light cars and you talk about the Mercedes 6.3 how much does the benz weight that comes with the 6.3 4500 4900 pounds and what it makes 400 so odd ft lbs of torque and again you said Mercedes makes more torque than the engine in this video prove it

  • Mercedes-Benz makes the worlds strongest mass produced N/A V8. Just look it up.

  • not true, 458 italia has best ratios...

    italia 4.5 liters = 125 hp/l n/a

    xx 63 amg 6.2 liters = 85 hp/l n/a

  • Not bad, but still, check it up, Mercedes-Benz has the worlds most powerfull production N/A V8.

  • And yet the most powerful motor in a production car is a GM V8

  • Not if you count on N/A engines, because Mercedes-Benz has a 6.2 liter Dohc V8 that produces up to 570 horses, and 650 nm. And thats a N/A ENGINE!

  • Wonderful for them, they have the highest production N/A V8. Whats amazing is the car they put it in are still slow due to weight. But over all is all American lol. When it comes to power nothing compares.

  • name it name the mercedses that makes more torque on pump gas

  • that motor sounds so smooth and strong

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo my gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­d!!!!!!!

  • 1029HP

  • Sounds like a fucking jet engine :D

  • amazing numbers on 91 RON fuel

    in Australia, we are hard pressed to run 800hp on pump 98 RON most people switch to race fuels at that point. and thats all with electronic engine management. all be it cheap ones of course high end ECu;s etc there are people with road cars with your power on 95 98 ron fuels.

    amazing none the less is that with an auto? coupled what stall converter do you run 6500K peak what a 3000rpm stall converter maybe or even a 2500k rpm? or standard torque converter?

  • alright this is the normal 1000hp engine LOL

    but common guys , the carburetor is over

    they are unreliable, and cannot provide 100% correct mixture at 100% of the time sure Fuel injection can't either but it is much much closer to perfecto as one can get

    Fuel injection makes this drivable well that as well as other things as well

  • And this is why Chevy is King!

  • Forged crank and rods?...

  • I'm sure they are

  • Are you steve? I want to put this on my pro flo efi & need your expertise!

  • screw this chevy

  • Yes shure!

  • the pro charger must do alot for a 540 to get 1000hp

  • UMA MERDA ESSE VIDEO

  • do you sell these engines or build stock motors up or can u swap one of these in with a regular street truck if the price is right?

  • what is the reason they keep using carbs on those kind of engine's? wouldn't electronic controlled injection and/or ignition and more, make the engine better tunable?

  • you would be surprised at how well you can tune an engine with a carb. remember that you are mechanically measuring airflow by means of pressure differential, very similar to EFI. most of us use a carb for engine dyno purpose as it's easy for us to dyno peoples engines that do not want to spend the money on setup time... but yes EFI IS VERY EASY TO TUNE YET STILL SOMEWHAT EXPENSIVE.

  • yess yess pressure differences! you are absolutely right. EFI wil only raise the engine efficiency and maybe a few pony's. i think EFI is used more around the world because tuning carb's requires a lot of experience and practice and "feeling". EFI is just using your notebook the right way (in a simple way):-D.

    i've never been a fan of less then 1hp/10cc engines but these really make a differenc these engines are real master pieces!

  • Yeah, we get that a lot. It's mostly customer preference. Most people are surprised to learn how effective a blow-through carb can be. There are a multitude of reasons as to why some customers choose the carb over EFI. (ranging from not wanting to tote around a laptop to some just enjoy prooving others wrong. Go to just about any forum on the subject and they will tell you blow-throughs don't work. lol. EFI is quickly gaining in popularity here at SMRE. Stay tuned for our next video EFI 2300HP.

  • Carbs are just alot simpler (in theory anyway) to tune than EFI.

    U gotta hate carbs though..... once u learn the merrit of EFI. No need to adjust float heights... spilling fuel all over your engine.... and then having all that fuel ignite!!.... just like my friend did last week! XD

    Nicely charred his whole engine bay....and underside of his hood!

    EFI is truely SUPERIOR to mechanical air/fuel metering (carburetors).

  • Wow, what was he doing to do that?

    Most've kept it VERY loose. not a smart idea.

    Btw, discharge of fuel into the engine, can light the whole car. Possibly making it explode.

  • he was adjusting his float levels.... which spills fuel everywhere.

  • Oh, believe me it gets messy.

  • Good point, although my 4.6L has 4 valves per cylinder but that's another story.

  • Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot say commiss James? I'm not bashing the motor, I think it's beautiful. I'm just saying, and you know it's true, why is it that my Crown victoria produces 215 hp from the factory with a V8 where a Honda accord of the same year with a V6 produces 240 hp?

  • Steve there is something you are not taking into account, TORQUE. The Honda may make 240 hp BUT the torque is way lower than Crown Vics. It kinda equals out in the end.

  • Nice flat torque curve, cool!

    What's this pre-occupation with BHP at a ludicrous RPM ?

    Horsepower = rpm x torque / 5252

    Low down torque is what you want ;-)

  • it's pathetic that American motors need so much displacement and cylinders to produce alot of horsepower. I drive an american car with a V8 and hate how even with those 8 cylinders, it still isn't as fast as some of those japanese or european cars I've driven with lesser amount of cylinders and CID

  • Youtube is american owned! Step off!!!

  • The reason is they dont use 4 valves per cylinder, overhead cams nor high Tech variable valve timing.

    THe disadvantage is you need more displacement to make up for the lack of sophistication. The benefit is they engines are cheaper and more reliable than the high tech counter parts.

  • and they sound really good!

  • The weight of the vehicle has a lot to do with it. I think if you figure out a displacement to weight ratio, you will be surprised that they are pretty similar.

  • horsepower turns faces torque wins races. look at how much heavier the american cars are. and the cafe standards the AMERICAN CARS HAVE TO OBIDE BY.

  • Thats right, chevy power

  • it is a dino your not supposed to reve the crap at of it
