    You would need to tow a tank trailer for the methanol blend. These little jiggers were just a tad thirsty.

    I forget where it was polled, but this was supposedly voted the best sounding engine of all time. A 1953 BRM V16

    I neither agree nor disagree, there are a lot of awsome sounding engines out there.

    I was impressed when I fired up my 4BD1t for the first time with just a short header pipe.

    Sorry, but neither of those examples come anywhere near close to Mike Hailwood's 250cc 6 cyl Honda GP bike (around 1966).

    This video clip pales by comparison to when Hailwood had it on full song.

    It sounds like a cross between a Jet turbine and a Deutz. With no dump pipe I could hear the turbo whine constantly.

    Drove it to the exhaust place today. He is very busy (fitting it in between jobs), and doesn't like the lack of space in the engine bay... (needs to squeeze in a 3" flex pipe and 3" mandrel system...)

    So far, no problems at all with the install. Turbo is 100% and the oil stays where it is supposed to.


    Sorry - forgot that I have a ricer turbo - I shd hv typd txt spk lol - f'ly sik m8
    So wheres the youtube link then?????

    Either Gilera or Guzzi had Maserati build them a 1000cc V6 for the European 1000km race series in the sixties. This was an attractive little engine with almost no extraneous bits hanging off it. It looked like a little car engine with its triple throat Webers. Wound up to peak revs in top on the long straights of Pescara it made an amazing sound.

    The link didn't work for me

    From memory, Guzzi ran the 500cc V8 in 1958. Ridden by Aussie Keith Cambell, it did 180 mph in the German GP that year. Unfortunately I never saw/heard it in action.

    Edit: To save another off topic post.

    The single cylinder 500cc Guzzi GP bike was a great package, so much so that it continued to win world championships against the 4 cyl Gilera, which had about 25% more power. The horizontal cylinder allowed a more effective inlet port configuration giving power that the Norton Manx and the Matchless could not achieve with their vertical cylinder.
