I find it amusing that people are comparing this with F1 engines. That's like comparing an F16 fighter to a Cesna. Millions of dollars worth of man hours and CFD development vs these guys in a commercial machine shop. This engine has been supercharged since and shoe horned into an Ariel Atom giving 500ph at the wheels so their not that far behind.
This engine is affordable, streetable & reliable and can be made to fit most cars. Cheaper than buying a new performance car. A 1400 HP Ecotech wouldn't go far on a highway before blowing up. The F1 is a millionaires novelty. Top fuel dragster is ultimate power king but useless off the track. This engine is available turbo charged with over 500 HP and is very light weight for it's power. You can put it in your Smart Car or anything else you want to drive and drive cross country.
@firebird74521 so...if I take that 1400HP ecotec and de-tune it to say...500, maybe even 375HP...think it would be reliable then?
Wow are you people really THAT fucking stupid to think I would compare the engines for daily commutes?? It's about power per LITER! And there are many engines out there capable of making the EXACT same HP as this engine with less displacement. Clarified?
Considering its size its decent, 375HP and 10,500RPM out of 2.6L is pretty damn good but considering an F1 engine is only 2.4L and makes 755HP @ 20,000RPM makes this engine seem very tame and weak by comparison.
@GMisurdaddy you dont have to pre circulate the oil to reach operating temperature or use special fuel or service it after every 10 miles or spend millions of dollars on it so id say its actually pretty good for what it is
@GMisurdaddy I think you forgot to mention the relative budget in your silly statement, 20k for a Hayabusa V8, I have no idea how many millions for the 755 HP F1 engine.
@Rapido3d I wasn't talking "cost" the comment was made that it's amazing for a 2.6L engine to make 375HP when there are engines making FAR more than that with less, lets look at this, a stock factory aluminum block 2.0L based Ecotec 4 making 1,400HP. Now THAT is impressive.
@KreatorOfDeath1985 Are you stupid? My original comment was the fact that the engine is "ONLY" 2.6L and makes 375HP, sorry but that just doesn't impress me. There are many engines that are 2.0L or just over that making 500HP reliably.
Are we talking F1 engines or Publicly obtainable engines?
Because any publicly available engine 2.0L with 500+ hps would have to have a big fat turbo BIG one, 9k is the highest revving engine you can buy in the s2000 but it has only 200 hp N/A, but again f1 engines are millions and millions of dollars to produce, this cost you 10-20k when you order it. there is NO 2.0L engine that makes 400 N/A
Despite the sound quality, as that thing revved out and just kept going up and up, I could feel excitement welling in my chest ... gawd I feel like a cigarette after that.
@pablocamarotte their Hayabusa V8 is two Hayabusa engines (V4s) attached front to end it has 306 HP... by the way if you bothered to read the description you would know all this...
@n9athan I doubt it. The overall percentage of weight saved in the car wouldn't be enough to offset the much lower torque levels. A lotus 7/caterham 7 style car tends to weigh about half what an Ultima does, so it can get away with having half the torque.
More HP with the same torque doesn't make the Ultima massively faster (look at the 640HP Ultima vs the 720HP ultima - it's not actually all that much slower, because torque levels are similar).
@n9athan 245ft/lb from the 2.8 - I'd assume that a 3.0 would have about 280ft/lb and 3.5 would have about 310ft/lb. I doubt that the Hayabusa block has enough meat to be bored out to 1.75 litres (these are 2 hayabusa blocks made into a V8) as the standard engine is a 1.3, and gets bored to 1.5 fairly often - but I've never heard of anyone going higher. So a 3.0 would probably be as big as you're going to get without building it as a W or V12/16.
@RIPSNZ Ok, poor choice of words - they cast their own block rather than weld 2 hayabusa blocks together, but you knew what I meant. Those castings have the same geometry as the hayabusa blocks they're based on, so the spacing between the cylinders will be the same - and as such, you have the same amount of leeway when boring them (or casting them) for making the cylinders bigger - go beyond a certain point and you risk the cylinder walls bursting into each other.
@n9athan I was just reading that Holeshot Racing do a kit for the standard hayabusa to take it to 660hp (and around 400ft/lb torque) - I bet they could get one of these V8's to do 1300+hp and 800lb/ft(ish) of torque.
That would be *MONSTER* in a GTR. Waaay too much for a 7 though. Unless you're *wanting* to be able to light up the tyres in 6th at 150+ mph...
@MudBarf its always fun to light up the tires in any gear, reminds me of a test a while back (0-200) where they had a 1000+ hp viper against a bugatti, the viper won and had wheel spin at 150mph, but it would be a monster in the gtr, the gtr just isn't as fun to drive either way it would be cool though since the gtr has 4 seats
The guys a " H1 V8" could build that engine, they take 2 hayabusa engine and make at 2.8-3.0l V8, 400 HP, and i have seen that engine with twin turbo produce 1000 HP. I want to take ferrari 308 and make a ferrari 288 GTO Clone with 1000 HP.
@super00su Nice. You have to understand that most of the people on here are bullshitters. That's pretty crazy though. 1000hp from an engine that's barely any larger than most 4 cylinders. Lol
@ALIOSZACAPONE 'They' (Hartley Enterprises) didn't - the crankcases from engine #004-on, use a CNC'd billet case, completely different from the Suzuki engine. Google "Hartley Enterprises": they have the history of the H1 V8 on their site. I believe only the cylinder heads and cylinder blocks are directly from (or copied from) stock Suzuki parts. Everything else is fabricated by Hartley or outside manufacturers (such as Carillo for the conrods).
wow you guys at suzuki watching this ? i could see this being nice motor for some of their cars and for you guys im thinking a 400 lb v16 with 800 hp!!!
Sorry bout that it is a lotus 7. lotus got tired of not being the fastest accelerating so they copied the caterham.. But I love lotus so no hard feelings ;)
@yartins1 I'd hate to break this to you. But Lotus first built the Lotus 7, and when they stopped production, Caterham bought the right to the car and have been building various versions since..
didnt wanna sound like an ass. its just that im a real car guy and most ppl on here post stuff about vehicles they dont know. but it is a sick build wish i had one. the super 7s are awesome as is but the busa v8 i bet gets better mpg.
The Lotus Seven was a small, simple, lightweight two-seater open-top sports car produced by Lotus Cars (initially called Lotus Engineering)[1] between 1957 and 1972.
After Lotus ended production of the Seven, Caterham bought the rights to it
@yartins1 caterhams existence is only because of lotus. there was a lotus dealership that sold lotus super sevens only and that dealership was located in an area called caterham, that dealership though bought the rights to the super 7 and re-badged the car to be a caterham super seven, look it up on wikipedia i bet youll see it.
@yartins1 How can you tell that it's a Caterham? The Super 7 was originally made by Lotus and Caterham bought the rights to, but the cars look the same.
@Lollerfish People put a massive range of different motors in clubmans. So far as i'm aware, no manufacturer offers a hayabusa v8 standard, but as long as it'll fit, people have put the motors in a clubman. :)
@mitchellberry ,quaife sequential box (one that'll work with that set up is about £10000 GBP/$15000 USD engine and box about £30000 more or less (more lol)
A supercharger, depending on the stype, takes up to 33% of the engines own power to push the compressor, and that power is being robbed from the crank shaft, so if you measure 300hp at the flywheel, the engine internals are actually producing 400hp, the strain on the internals, the fuel used to push that power, and the longevity of the engine are all compromised. thats why they are called parasitic power adders.
@petthekittyz Turbo's are just as hard on engine internals as superchargers. Both are forced air induction and the increased air and burn temps from more fuel being burned is what causes the extra wear from forced air systems.
@defakto2227 your somewhat right, but mostly wrong.
Using the same amount of airflow from a supercharger will not result in the same engine performance as a turbo, While the engine is seeing the same amount of power being pushed by engine internals, the supercharger robs most of that power before it ever gets to the transmission. Thats why superchargers are considered parasitic power adders. look it up
For everyone whose wondering about the sound compared to american V8's its still only 2.6 litres. Modern american 8's are 6+ litres. Small fast exhaust pulses, apposed to big slow exhaust pulses. And same for the intake pulses.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WTF is this? American Harley do not know how to make perfect engine? ...so they had to take riceburner....again.....as usual.... nothing without imports.....Take a perfect thing and by doing "nothing" they think they actually did something? That's a bullshit !!!
It was the bmw M12/13 turbo from the brabham bt52 (formula 1). And the 1350 bhp is an estimated guess, it could be anywhere from 1100 bhp to 1500 bhp, since the bmw dyno didn't go any further than 1100 bhp. Recorded Turbo pressure: 5.8 BAR!!!!
How high it can rev is irrelevant unless there is a need to get that high in the rev range. Therefore the most important issue from a power point of view is how it is delivered e.g. max torque/hp @ xxx rpm. It may be an achievement to get to 10k from a v8, but you once you strengthen the engine to be able to reach that RPM, you loose torque down low (in Naturally aspirated engines) Therefore i would like to see a Dyno chart. BMW did it right, M3 (e92 ) 420 bhp / 313 KW @ 8300 rpm!!!!
Ha it's all good. On another note BMW does hold a record as it prepare a 1.5L 4 Cylinder Turbo that produced 1350hp! (can't find the reference, but it did hold a record!)
every F1 car on the grid is a V8 and revs to over 16,000rpm... a few yrs ago they were pushing 20,000rpm, but the FIA mandated a lower redline to prolong engine life. Next ?
i think the reason it sounds different is because the engine has a flat-plane crankshaft design where American V8s have a cross-plane design. The cross planes require heavy counterweights so they rev slower, sound boomier
American V8's are also in sizes 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, 7.0 8.2, 7.4, and crate engines that reach 9.0 liters. Custom crate engines of 11 Liters( !!!!) look at nelson racing engies. Kiss power to weight ratio goodbye though.
Very true. NRE should do an LS7. The LS7 Weighs less than the V8 from the E92 M3. The problem with using those engines is that you might end up having to use a heavier transmission and a bigger fuel tank, blah blah. I like that 454ss that they featured on their channel. Oh and there's Tim Allen's Ford with that ITB Hemi. I'd rather have the car in this video though. High redline to use gearing advantages, and it's just plain light.
@420witchdoctor your an idiot power is the byproduct of torque and rpm. horsepower is pretty much torque x rpm at a certain ratio( forget if it is exponential or linear). Engines like that produce almost the same amount of torque but do it more quickly, at high rpm. The myth that slow revving engines make more torque comes from the fact that most engines made to tow stuff are not meant to rev high, but if they did they would pull even more. remember torque, rpm, and power are all connected
@Redjester22 Linear. Torque is generally at it's max at a lower RPM than horsepower. Torque gets you moving, horsepower keeps it there. It's not so much a myth, but coincidence. Generally, the torque motors tend to be an inline and happen to rev lower. You can get a lot of torque out of a "V" engine, but usually the horsepower surpasses torque. Best illustration of when this happens, is a burnout. A strait torque engine, generally won't burnout. Example, a tractor vs dragster.
@420witchdoctor if you ever go and watch truck and tractor pulls you will quickly notice that the machines that rev the highest are always the ones that can pull the most.
@420witchdoctor essentially yes it does, but power is a representation of to time frame in which that torque was put down. if you want a very good explanation look no further than Wikipedia, i remember their are a few more articles on it but can't quite remember where to find them
@NoiteraD yes this is a good application for a flat plane motor due to its response and lightness. By the way I wasn't bagging on American-style crossplanes; they're as different as Ferrari and Corvette motors, both with advantages and disadvantages. I'm just saying that in racing, the flat-plane arrangement was adopted due to lightness; that's why Formula One, Ferrari, and TVR Speed 8 V8s don't sound like American ones. However the crossplanes generally have more torque, like someone mentioned
@tvorchay not just that though. On a cross plane V8 you have two detonations on each plane at a time which produces a higher pitched note that having detonations on either plane at a time.
Designed for pulling a lighter vehicle and can produce more bhp at higher rpm. Typical american v8 passenger cars need more torque and rely on a larger capacity donk which unless you spend big money will never rev as high, nor does it need to.
It's because of the crank and ignition timing, also this engine has 4 valves per cylinder and is smaller block DOHC v8, also the carbs and airfilters are different, the exhaust system will be staight trough but with a sports cat and baffled, more tuned engine will make it sound different, maybe raised cams, piston, roda and crank balancing for higher rpm.
There's many reasons why it sounds different to an american v8, also the ignition timing is different for power delivery at higher rpm.
Punished the dyno, for sure!

@yartins1 caterhams existence is only because of lotus. there was a lotus dealership that sold lotus super sevens only and that dealership was located in an area called caterham, that dealership though bought the rights to the super 7 and re-badged the car to be a caterham super seven, look it up on wikipedia i bet youll see it.

@Lollerfish People put a massive range of different motors in clubmans. So far as i'm aware, no manufacturer offers a hayabusa v8 standard, but as long as it'll fit, people have put the motors in a clubman. :)

hjjfffaa 1 year ago 2
@hjjfffaa
Actually I do.
A supercharger, depending on the stype, takes up to 33% of the engines own power to push the compressor, and that power is being robbed from the crank shaft, so if you measure 300hp at the flywheel, the engine internals are actually producing 400hp, the strain on the internals, the fuel used to push that power, and the longevity of the engine are all compromised. thats why they are called parasitic power adders.
turbos don't stress the engine the same.
I build engines
petthekittyz 1 year ago
@petthekittyz Turbo's are just as hard on engine internals as superchargers. Both are forced air induction and the increased air and burn temps from more fuel being burned is what causes the extra wear from forced air systems.
defakto2227 1 year ago
@defakto2227 your somewhat right, but mostly wrong.
Using the same amount of airflow from a supercharger will not result in the same engine performance as a turbo, While the engine is seeing the same amount of power being pushed by engine internals, the supercharger robs most of that power before it ever gets to the transmission. Thats why superchargers are considered parasitic power adders. look it up

It was the bmw M12/13 turbo from the brabham bt52 (formula 1). And the 1350 bhp is an estimated guess, it could be anywhere from 1100 bhp to 1500 bhp, since the bmw dyno didn't go any further than 1100 bhp. Recorded Turbo pressure: 5.8 BAR!!!!

yep very good BUT this is a v8 ! what other v8 do you know that dose 10k rpm?
alistair4577 2 years ago
How high it can rev is irrelevant unless there is a need to get that high in the rev range. Therefore the most important issue from a power point of view is how it is delivered e.g. max torque/hp @ xxx rpm. It may be an achievement to get to 10k from a v8, but you once you strengthen the engine to be able to reach that RPM, you loose torque down low (in Naturally aspirated engines) Therefore i would like to see a Dyno chart. BMW did it right, M3 (e92 ) 420 bhp / 313 KW @ 8300 rpm!!!!
nt2subtle 2 years ago
sorry, didn't mean to tread on you'r feet. it just sounded funny when you were compareing the rev range off a v8 to a 4pot
alistair4577 2 years ago
Ha it's all good. On another note BMW does hold a record as it prepare a 1.5L 4 Cylinder Turbo that produced 1350hp! (can't find the reference, but it did hold a record!)

i think the difference in sound is based on 2 things.
1. probably has a slightly higher compression then most amer. v8's
2. Obviously higer rpm's
. . . the higher RPM's are what give it the "wailing" sound(for lack of a better word)

tippmannc3 2 years ago
i think the reason it sounds different is because the engine has a flat-plane crankshaft design where American V8s have a cross-plane design. The cross planes require heavy counterweights so they rev slower, sound boomier
tvorchay 2 years ago 11
@tvorchay
American V8's are also in sizes 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, 7.0 8.2, 7.4, and crate engines that reach 9.0 liters. Custom crate engines of 11 Liters( !!!!) look at nelson racing engies. Kiss power to weight ratio goodbye though.

pzpepsi 1 year ago
@pzpepsi
Very true. NRE should do an LS7. The LS7 Weighs less than the V8 from the E92 M3. The problem with using those engines is that you might end up having to use a heavier transmission and a bigger fuel tank, blah blah. I like that 454ss that they featured on their channel. Oh and there's Tim Allen's Ford with that ITB Hemi. I'd rather have the car in this video though. High redline to use gearing advantages, and it's just plain light.
mikeb1444 1 year ago
@tvorchay Rev slower and produce a SHITLOAD of torque. We Americans might not be the fastest, but we'll pull anything.
420witchdoctor 1 year ago
@420witchdoctor your an idiot power is the byproduct of torque and rpm. horsepower is pretty much torque x rpm at a certain ratio( forget if it is exponential or linear). Engines like that produce almost the same amount of torque but do it more quickly, at high rpm. The myth that slow revving engines make more torque comes from the fact that most engines made to tow stuff are not meant to rev high, but if they did they would pull even more. remember torque, rpm, and power are all connected
Redjester22 1 year ago
@Redjester22 Linear. Torque is generally at it's max at a lower RPM than horsepower. Torque gets you moving, horsepower keeps it there. It's not so much a myth, but coincidence. Generally, the torque motors tend to be an inline and happen to rev lower. You can get a lot of torque out of a "V" engine, but usually the horsepower surpasses torque. Best illustration of when this happens, is a burnout. A strait torque engine, generally won't burnout. Example, a tractor vs dragster.

@420witchdoctor if you ever go and watch truck and tractor pulls you will quickly notice that the machines that rev the highest are always the ones that can pull the most.

@Redjester22 Torque is what gets it going, though.
420witchdoctor 1 year ago
@420witchdoctor essentially yes it does, but power is a representation of to time frame in which that torque was put down. if you want a very good explanation look no further than Wikipedia, i remember their are a few more articles on it but can't quite remember where to find them
Redjester22 1 year ago
@tvorchay and fitting one in there would be stupid since motorcycle engines have their "power" out of the RPM.
NoiteraD 1 year ago
@NoiteraD yes this is a good application for a flat plane motor due to its response and lightness. By the way I wasn't bagging on American-style crossplanes; they're as different as Ferrari and Corvette motors, both with advantages and disadvantages. I'm just saying that in racing, the flat-plane arrangement was adopted due to lightness; that's why Formula One, Ferrari, and TVR Speed 8 V8s don't sound like American ones. However the crossplanes generally have more torque, like someone mentioned
tvorchay 1 year ago
@tvorchay not just that though. On a cross plane V8 you have two detonations on each plane at a time which produces a higher pitched note that having detonations on either plane at a time.

KCAPELGAE 2 years ago
Designed for pulling a lighter vehicle and can produce more bhp at higher rpm. Typical american v8 passenger cars need more torque and rely on a larger capacity donk which unless you spend big money will never rev as high, nor does it need to.

Beatbox2726 2 years ago
It's because of the crank and ignition timing, also this engine has 4 valves per cylinder and is smaller block DOHC v8, also the carbs and airfilters are different, the exhaust system will be staight trough but with a sports cat and baffled, more tuned engine will make it sound different, maybe raised cams, piston, roda and crank balancing for higher rpm.
There's many reasons why it sounds different to an american v8, also the ignition timing is different for power delivery at higher rpm.
