exhausts are overrated : ) You guys rock. Let it rip!

[jitterysquirrel76]

Jesus look at that thing! Awesome!

[klorat666]

If it is 27 liters it is Merlin (Aircraft version) or Meteor (Tank version). The Griffon is like 35 liters..later versions of Spitfire or the P51.

I would guess that it is a Meteor = Centurion tank engine.

[Jespertichelaar]

I don't think this thing comes out of a tank. I assume it's a RR Merlin/Griffon from a spitifre or a P51. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's a Rolls.

[kenworthfan]

Hi,I think they used this type of engine in the Centurion tank here in Australia back in the 60's.The Royal Australian Armor Corps used Centurions in Vietnam,and they were replaced with the Leopard 1.Hope this helps :)

Rover Meteor Mk 4B, carb fed, non-super-charged V12. 645hp/1350lb-ft tq. RR Merlin different layout & was painted black or had natural metal (alloy) finish. All Brit Army engines painted this colour.

[Edricofifrit]

27 liter v12.. impressive. I bet Al Gore would be mad lol.

Anyone know the make of this motor?

[bleedforweed]

thats insane ;)

verry cool 5*

[ray3rd]

I think burning valves with no manifolds is an old wives' tale, if you've ever watched a cracked manifold you can still see the flames inside the exhaust. The fire just doesn't have enough time to burn in the cylinder and the rest of the combustion happens in the exhaust port. Part of the reason slow moving engines are so efficient.

[rinolope]

lol dam!! that thing is gonna blow ur house down!!

[v8gmc]

If he has any neighbors they must love him

[racecardriver467]

thats a good way to melt the valves! nice!

[harijsk]

why should they melt!?

[racecardriver467]

cus fire will only apear when the unburned gas hits the air, thats why you need manifolds of headers to bring the reaction away from the valve. if not the fire heats up the vales witch dont normally operate with fire forming so close to them normally. but luckily he didn't run it long enough to do any damage.

[harijsk]

thaks for the info.

[BigIainGillies]

wot in hell r u tokin bout boy? the valves dont normally operate so close to explosion? and thats not all your exhuast if for either. stupid boy go back to school

[whatevz]

this is why cars have exhausts!!!

[dtr125]

Sorry. You're right. I just looked again and it was a video clip of a guy in sweden who's building a hotrod with one of the same engines in. Here's another clip from that guy (test driving it): http://web.telia.com/~u1360315­0/V12TESTDRIVE.WMV

Here's a clip of the SD1 car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=v-aC5B348rA
