do you also modify the T- pieces for better airflow?

[nicjasno]

@beefbaron Yes. Otherwise there would be no point in also enlarging the inlets on the cylinders and switches.

And, you find the problem yet?

I have today try to figure out how you made a 1100rpm V8 with 1,6mm inlets.. But i dont understand how that possible is...

[nicjasno]

@haRtV70R You have to modify the switches too. Not just make the inlets bigger. Open them up, remove the stoppers, enlarge inlets, reglue so that they seal.

[haRtV70R]

@nicjasno I no. And i have already do that. But 1100-1200 rpm is the max by a presure of 6 bar!

[nicjasno]

@haRtV70R I'll see tomorrow what will happen. I will report. If success even with another video.

could you please make a tutorial on the proper building of the lego camshaft for the v8 it would be very appreciated.

@1100lolbroek The cylinders with the square bottom work exactly the same as the ones with the round bottom.
