KillerBjt Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 That is the one problem with Audi's they are heavy! But man do those engines have a good BHP/Liter ratio, with the RS4 is actually 100 BHP/Liter! 420HP(underrated too ) out of a 4.2L V8!

datsun40146 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 OK so I was seaching around not doing much and came across a few motors that pretained to this thread that are AFFORDABLE. 1. Look up the Coventry Climax, its was britsh fork lift company in its early yeras and then was bought by BL. Anyway the motor, has a 1.5 liter V8 design, flat plane crank (later years) Don't think this motor is a slouch either, it was lifted from the forumla two series. Look it up, I was surpised too. This motor powered 1957 Lotus Elite, 1216cc FWE 1958 TVR Grantura, 1216cc FWE (Wikipedia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamNissan Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 If true thats one hell of a find, also would prove a wiki article wrong too because they state a 2.0 was the smallest production v8 ever. I will be sure too search as hard as I can on that motor though, anymore links? A flat plane 1.5 liter v8 would be insaino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT having one of them IN a car would be pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest magnum Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 It would be easiest to just do 180 degree headers for the sound with a high rev. V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete84 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It would be easiest to just do 180 degree headers for the sound with a high rev. V8 Wow!!! How much would 180 headers run? That sound is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 1, 2008 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2008 Here are a couple more Domestic V-8’s running 180 degree headers… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pNiY8eV6NE&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 MarcG's car is high revving and sounds REALLY exotic methinks.. Just if some "VRH35L" crankshafts could be sourced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 1, 2008 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2008 Through my home stereo, these 180 degree headers give the dual plane crank V-8’s exhaust note a definite “braaaap†to its note, yet you can still make out the echoing coarse grumble of a domestic dual plane V-8. Compared to the exhaust of say a Ferrari V-8, (328, 348, 355, 360, F-40 etc,) the 180 degree headers take the domestic V-8 about half way to that pure Ferrari “braaaaap†exhaust note… that's how I hear it anyhow. You know guys, on a small Block Chevy powered S-30 Z car, there is room under the front of the oil pan to run cross pipes for a 180 degree header….. Speedway header kit, purchase a few more elbows.. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/3843,281_Speedway-Small-Block-Chevy-Header-Kits.html …and build it to look "similar" to this with the cross-overs under the forward section of the oil pan, in-front of the sump, (for SBC and SBF, the middle 2 cylinders of one bank need to communicate with the outer 2 cylinders of the other bank, not as this picture depicts.)

Pete84 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Would there be a danger of cooking the oil by running the headers under the pan like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 You know guys, on a small Block Chevy powered S-30 Z car, there is room under the front of the oil pan to run cross pipes for a 180 degree header….. I know that I've talked about doing this before - with know crossmember below the oilpan, there IS room. It's not something I've written off either... I LOVE the sound of that blue vette with the 180 degree headers. To me, that's close enough to the sound of a flat crank V8 Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 So I was looking at this and talking with TeamNissan about it. I was curious if you were to run this style of setup to behind the transmission and have them cross there where the X-pipe would be, if you could get the same style of sound and performance? If the header tupbes are too long does will it hurt the performance? I can't help but think of my LS1 with 180 headers and the ITB's..... Thanks, Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Although I honestly can't contribute much to this thread, I'd just like to thank you knowledgeable folks for teaching me more about engines. This is really fun to learn all of this stuff. Thanks, and kindest regards, Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that need a visualization, I made something similar when trying to figure out the VH45 pipe setup and it tends to help a lot. I'm not an SBC guy so hopefully this is right. This is basing off of the firing order and cylinder placement I found online for a 350 Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
