Hey Tom you should just put the Coates Spherical Valve heads on it. Then you can rev that thing to 15 grand without any fear of any floating valves or bent pushrods and probably triple your horsepower... Im just sayin.
To everyone who thinks this is just copying a jap motor. the japs never built an aluminum block/head 500 ci twin turbo V8 that makes 2500+ horsepower. and even if they did. nre still makes more power per cubic inch. this is his best work ever. great jobs guys
@johnburton65 the design cock head not the size or hp toyota was building a quad cam v8 over 20 years ago you yanks are still pissing around with push rod engines
@wapitiman100 you do realise that 500cui is about 8L mark right and this engine can easily handle that due to all the strength points they made when desiging this, now you toyota v8's your talking about are only half the size and you can't put that much power into them due to just being regular blocks, you do know what BILLET is right, if not, go look it up on wikipedia, as wrong as that site is it will make you understand that this motor will be BAD FUCKING ASS
@johnburton65 It's very possible, but this ass @Wapitiman100 doesn't know how to tell a lie. Gas Motorsports has a 2041HP 3.2L 2JZ in their 6 second Celica. A big displacement OHC Japanese V8 has the potential to make over 2500HP. He also fails to realize that there were OHC domestic V8's in development and production as far back as 1963.
The whole time i was watching this i kept thinking of my trusty 1UZ-FE in my SC400, i love that engine. It goes to show you what the Japanese released 20 years ago.
I love it. Tho I have made a living with big HP push rod motors for decades I always appreciate when someone puts forth the effort to bring something different to market. I had the pleasure of running a big block Chevy based 4 valve 4 cam motor (McGee) in the late 80s early 90s. Kenny Bernstein tested his top fuel dragster with one around the same time with limited success. But it was sure fun to watch :)
good luck getting a 500 ci small block over 7200 rpm. you have piston speed limits. you need a 372 ci (4.125" x 3.48") to make peak power at 8500 rpm. fyi
LS7 can make 700+ bhp @ 7200 rpm, and pull to 8000 rpm...and doesn't cost a small fortune. DOHC will give it a couple hundred more rpm. yay.
@.but beware making fun of the little fords for many many 9-10 second mustangs are everywhere.yet just how many camaros are running the dtreets in comparison?.lb fo lb the better design.and it's nothing to get 250k plus miles from a stone stock 5.4 n/a engine with0out a concern except change the oil.gm has a ways to go
your so seriously wrong...lmao.also it's not just about the higher rpm but how fast you get there,,,the Mod motor fords rev crazy fast,and the small ci work great with turbo or screw type s/c, which is why the chevies have been behind them for a few years now..ci aside.this engine.if ever allowed to be finished and sold.at 500 ci will be something to see...and the 2500hp number estimates are from real experience not fantasy.yes the LS engines are killer
a 500 ci small block is not going to stay together past 7200 rpm. you still have piston speed limits.
the LS7 can make 700+ bhp @ 7300 rpm naturally aspirated, and redline at 8000 rpm. it's a 9 second car on pump gas and smooth idle. dohc is nice and trick, but at what cost?
You are right tom. The japs did this 20 years ago. BUT, You have created this work of art yourself and you should be commended for your obvious brilliance and skill. If i ever win the lotto you'll be hearing from me.
And the Italians sell how cars a year to the average income person?! I can't imagine everyone owning a high tech multi valve mod v-8 and still meeting new govnmt emissions....jackarse! Look at pro stock motors.....700plus cubic ". And rev like a crotch rocket......bottom line, using existing basic engine designs, you can have a high rpm screamer from America. Besides, how many Ferrari owners can say they have 100,000 miles or more on their cars?
Why? All new (2010-up) V8 DOHC passes strong and highest EURO-5 norms. Only few US V8 engines passes EURO-5 emission regulative. EURO-6 is even more stronger. Only LS7(ZO6) and LS3(Camaro SS) passes EURO-5.
god damn these guys are awsome. i wish i was rich because i wpould invest in these guys. simply amazing. thought of everything. sbc just been reinvented. you guys rock so much bad ass.
I don't know honestly, about building this engine from scratch there are alot of variables, about building an all aluminun big ci. four cam,steel o-ring engine! The bottom end is very complecated for one, But dohc heads in therory might work,But the complections of the lower end,in balance,and in therory running all that steel,and all thee alum. Friction,balance,valvefiction,with four cams......I hope you guy's can get it done.good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i guess there is alot of thermical removal problems with polished surfaces in principle. i guess the linear torsionforce could impair the ignition with this linear center hole thru the crankshaft. and most of all ,,,, i guess the 4 valve technic is much more than build a new head in 1 year. i dont know how much confidence NRE invest in their CAD software!? construction is one but the simulation in FEM / thermical, mechanic, vibration and so on is much more work. if they didnt they see @ dyno ;)
I wonder about the skirts not fully being exposed to oil in the crank case, will it be overheating, or will the engine just seize up cause lack of oil to the skirts, i hope not. remember that chevy, ford,mopar all have the same type of piston skirt clearense at the bottom, to cool of the piston skirts so they can run cooler@lube all the friction the bottom end makes........ ps. have you done a lot of R@D !!!
Ive email'd them on several occations with no responce about this motor. I personally think they could not get the heads to work properly. He is a master of pushrod motors but twin-cams are alot different to work with.
PLEASE..update the 4 cam AL billet block project..there are plenty of people waiting very eagerly for this custom beast. When all is said and done with the engine, ill be buying one, with low boost turbo's of course. Should be a nasty hi revvin engine..the car it will go in is a Ultima GTR. Its gonna take an couple yrs to get ready for the engine, and hopefuly its done soon. Our idea is to wreak havok with the big buck high-end super cars! Hopefully everything plans out and it becomes a reality!
Nice block, but is there a law that all promotional videos must use the cheesiest studio music available? Why not just talk and skip the annoying bgm?
@BigRigger78 I don't think this engine even made it to the market. Designing a DOHC head is not a simple task and it looks like these guys weren't up to the challenge.
well what if the engine was designed around the alreay available twisted wedge style heads?.now what?.ford just doesn't like they similarity in designs.and the fight is on..but hopefully they can comprimise and maybe enven begin using these thru ford racing.a 500 ci 2v blower ready or whipple 4.0 installed or even the well designed and proven Tt set-up he is well known for.yea one day soon I'm hoping, these will be available for purchase
@sixtiesforever1966 No offense intended, but if you truly think that, you need to take a tour through Ferrari's design garages and see just how technical they are in their engineering designs -- it will blow your mind.
Thank you. I learned from this videos that the crankshaft drives the pistons. I didn't know that really - actually I did though but it was made clear.
@madtownmadman yeah my bad my keyboard is not that good i hit the 0 and it did not show up. my pontiac has a standard deck height of 10.23 i believe with 6.625 inch connecting rods STOCK! its crazy.
@DRMMHMD Easy brother, no need getting your panties wadded up! I don't know alot but I know a decent amount. I know about undersquare high displacement low rpm power, known as good torque and about more oversquare shorter stroke hi rpm power, generally known as horsepower.
Instead of spewing fail, why don't you speak some intelligence and indicate precisely why you object to my last post. If you can enlighten us, great! ...then maybe you can get help with your wadded panties.
I like this, it takes American muscle and adds some efficiency. Whilst there's no replacement for displacement, you might as well make full use of the displacement. :)
Any similarity with Chevy can be displacement, bore and stroke. Block and heads are more similar to European DOHC engines. Crank in Chevy and Mercedes V8 is almost identical. Both companies using cross plane design in their V8 engines.
@Jolinator you need to look at early motor cycle engines my friend. 1920's had 4 valves per cylinder. you f1 technology is merely a later more refined copy
Also forgot to add there have been guys for some years now that have used off the self forged rods and pistons along with bearings from a SBC in the northstar motor.
Basically this is a gm 4.6 Northstar motor. If you have ever had the block in front of you and rebuilt one this is identical but prolly better quality. The timing case in front is almost identical, starter location, the oil drain back, the water jackets, the whole look and structure of the outside of the block are pretty much identical also.
@CHIMOB i thought that when i seen the starter location under the intake.the difference is the potential for 500ci the northstar cannot do that. they did what gm should do build a dohc monster.
@demonik200 1 cam for each of the 2 intake valves per cylinder and 1 cam for the exhaust valves - not a new concept. But, it IS a new concept considering the cubic inches he plans on running. Also, the block is CNC machined from a single billet - and not cast. It will be very expensive AND very durable.
@vipexperformance i thought they were talking about one cam for opening one set of valves (like the intake valves) and one cam for closing those valves (you know taking a page from F1s book), thus eliminating the valve springs and spring fatigue at high rpms, thats what i thought gave it its 9000 rpm redline. but its just a regular dual overhead cam system lol
@demonik200 i see what you meant. An example of this technology on the street is the 'desmo' valvetrain on ducati motorcycles - the cam opening and closing the valves. This is a very difficult technology to maintain. Opening is no problem - its closing the valve completely without hammering the valve seat. For a street engine and 8-9000 rpm its not needed. Remember F1 motors are short use mega RPM motors.
Mr.Nelson when are we gonna see part 2 of this beast any info would be great I'm a big fan of you guys I'm looking into buying one of your guys 441 SBC nitrous motors for my 79 pro-street malibu you can email me at adam_ryan_clark@yahoo.com thanks adam.
@overboost1111code red is NOT billet it's cast BIG differance and Tom built the engine for code red how do you copy your selfe and this is 500Ci wear coad red is 331Ci
@sirlonghair I'm sorry sir but you are sadly mistaken! Frenchman Leon Levavasseur was a 39-year-old inventor in 1902 when he took out a patent for the first V-8 engine he called the Antoinette.
@overboost1111 The engine in the Code Red is a Ford engine. Congrats. NRE just twin turbocharged it. THIS engine is designed by NRE for NRE. If it is similar to anything it is a SBC with custom DOHC. Hence why some SBC parts are interchangeable with this one.
@TheOfficialKC nelson copied the engine from code red. FORD GT 500 engine!!!!!!!!! why do you think it took two years to build code red? because he took the motor apart to copy it.
@overboost1111 Uh, no sorry. If you watch this video, or read what he wrote about it, the Revolution engine is NELSON's design. Do you see this engine running 9000rpm? No. Is this engine capable of 500CID? No. NRE designed the Revolution from the ground up.
Now go back to 3:35 and listen to him. The crankshaft is based off of a CHEVY. Now 5:50. Chevy main bearing and rod bearing.
Hey Tom you should just put the Coates Spherical Valve heads on it. Then you can rev that thing to 15 grand without any fear of any floating valves or bent pushrods and probably triple your horsepower... Im just sayin.

@jrptf pushrod layout as well as 2 valve per cyl. setup both provide for a lot less parts & a significantly less reciprocating mass.
So these 'american' V8 engines of old are so reliable and easy to wrench.
4 valve layout will flow the most air and therefore the most peak hp,
but big V8's have hi torgue so they didn't need hi rpm hp.
Now though everything is getting maximized... like the New Vette Z06.
BTW, It's pushrod, gets surprising mpg & 7000rpm from 7.0L ! Wow!

Tom mentioned the crank was based on a chevy? Is that motor based on a Chevy motor or just a Generic Motor?
sixtiesforever1966 10 months ago
@sixtiesforever1966
Any similarity with Chevy can be displacement, bore and stroke. Block and heads are more similar to European DOHC engines. Crank in Chevy and Mercedes V8 is almost identical. Both companies using cross plane design in their V8 engines.

@Jolinator you need to look at early motor cycle engines my friend. 1920's had 4 valves per cylinder. you f1 technology is merely a later more refined copy

Also forgot to add there have been guys for some years now that have used off the self forged rods and pistons along with bearings from a SBC in the northstar motor.
CHIMOB 1 year ago
Basically this is a gm 4.6 Northstar motor. If you have ever had the block in front of you and rebuilt one this is identical but prolly better quality. The timing case in front is almost identical, starter location, the oil drain back, the water jackets, the whole look and structure of the outside of the block are pretty much identical also.
CHIMOB 1 year ago
@CHIMOB i thought that when i seen the starter location under the intake.the difference is the potential for 500ci the northstar cannot do that. they did what gm should do build a dohc monster.

Derpinguin44 1 year ago
@demonik200 1 cam for each of the 2 intake valves per cylinder and 1 cam for the exhaust valves - not a new concept. But, it IS a new concept considering the cubic inches he plans on running. Also, the block is CNC machined from a single billet - and not cast. It will be very expensive AND very durable.
vipexperformance 11 months ago
@vipexperformance i thought they were talking about one cam for opening one set of valves (like the intake valves) and one cam for closing those valves (you know taking a page from F1s book), thus eliminating the valve springs and spring fatigue at high rpms, thats what i thought gave it its 9000 rpm redline. but its just a regular dual overhead cam system lol
demonik200 11 months ago
@demonik200 i see what you meant. An example of this technology on the street is the 'desmo' valvetrain on ducati motorcycles - the cam opening and closing the valves. This is a very difficult technology to maintain. Opening is no problem - its closing the valve completely without hammering the valve seat. For a street engine and 8-9000 rpm its not needed. Remember F1 motors are short use mega RPM motors.

Great engine, but yes, very very expensive.

@sirlonghair I'm sorry sir but you are sadly mistaken! Frenchman Leon Levavasseur was a 39-year-old inventor in 1902 when he took out a patent for the first V-8 engine he called the Antoinette.
FunkyHunk1 1 year ago
@overboost1111 The engine in the Code Red is a Ford engine. Congrats. NRE just twin turbocharged it. THIS engine is designed by NRE for NRE. If it is similar to anything it is a SBC with custom DOHC. Hence why some SBC parts are interchangeable with this one.
TheOfficialKC 1 year ago
@TheOfficialKC nelson copied the engine from code red. FORD GT 500 engine!!!!!!!!! why do you think it took two years to build code red? because he took the motor apart to copy it.
overboost1111 1 year ago
@overboost1111 Uh, no sorry. If you watch this video, or read what he wrote about it, the Revolution engine is NELSON's design. Do you see this engine running 9000rpm? No. Is this engine capable of 500CID? No. NRE designed the Revolution from the ground up.
Now go back to 3:35 and listen to him. The crankshaft is based off of a CHEVY. Now 5:50. Chevy main bearing and rod bearing.
