>1.3 liters >400 BHP The new engine is the other half of a hybrid powerplant for Nissan's Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car (ZEOD RC), which is set to become the first entry to complete a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe at Le Mans solely under electric power this June.
"The DIG-T R’s base engine is 500 mm tall x 400 mm long x 200 mm wide (19.68 x 15.74 x 7.78 in), but it puts out power like a fire hose at 400 bhp (298 kW) and 380 Nm (280 ft-lb) of torque. Nissan points out though this is small enough to fit inside the luggage guides found at check in, at 40 kg (88 lb), the DIG-T R is too heavy to be considered as a carry-on. That works out to 10 bhp per kilo, which Nissan says is better than the new engines approved for the FIA Formula 1 World Championship this year."
think this will fit in my Honda? is it not that big of a deal? am i stupid for being excited?
same way i feel about paying over 10k dollars for a GT-R crate engine
you're doing god's work user.
okay you two.
Robert Hughes
>am i stupid for being excited?
Well, yes. It's a race engine. Plus the vehicle they put it in lasted around five laps at Le Mans the only time they raced it, two years ago.

I got this from the Nissan facebook page, they just announced it Sunday. Never followed actual racing other than rallycross/nascar because those are the only ones that come to my city.
Oliver Edwards
They've had that photoshopped pic for a while. Very windy sub 1.5 liters might be a thing in the near future. Ford has a 1 liter ecoboost.
Tyler Carter
Volvo's newest iteration of their i4 puts out 450bhp, and can do a lot more. They're also pairing it with a hybrid electric drive. Seems to be all the rage these days.
Cooper Wright
is three cylinder I'm waiting on the six cylinder version baka desu senpai
Bentley Rodriguez
>2.6l 6 cylinder from Nissan making a lot of power.
It's been done.
Nathaniel Collins
Also, appropriate for any mention of the travesty that was the ZEOD
Nicholas Kelly
but is v and much lighter
Adam Parker
that article is over 2 years old. Nissan entered the car in the 2014 LM24 and it lasted about 20min after the race started. Nissan canned the entire Deltawing program soon after.
Brandon Diaz
>50 years old >7 liters >10,000 hp >doesn't sound like a weed eater
Carter Price
Didn't one of the Mercedes engineers liken Nissan's FWD race car attempt to a retarded child?
Tyler Wright
You're all fucking idiots.
The DeltaWing was powered by a RML engine deprived from a Chevrolet Cruze touring car.
The engine related is a concept and it#s been already confirmed that the engine is not functional the way it is. Find the sources yourself.
Also having small engines with high out put is nothing special in motorsports whatsoever. Nissan said they intend to put this shit into production cars, which, along the fact that it van be carried by a human, is the big news.
One has superior power figures, torque at all rpm ranges, linear power band, better efficiency Gurss
Ryan Davis
Don't forget easy to mass produce and work on yourself with a vast aftermarket.
Nicholas Jenkins
mad pushrodcuck fanboy detected
both the rotary and the inline 3 have better power-weight ratio, thats all that matters
Aaron Lopez
Autism numbers don't count, ohv will feel more powerful and IS more powerful.
Parker Kelly
>n-no it doesnt count ;_;!!
lmao
pushrodcucks on suicide watch
Logan Ward
>needing forced induction to do any of that >nonlinear power delivery and lots of lag >little headroom to make more power out of it >having your cams on top fucking over your weight distribution
Adam Brown
>muh buzzwords
dear diary: today pushrodcucks went full assmad
Eli Williams
>two bike engines slapped together >unreliable >somehow thinking it can't be done on pushrods
Slap two of these together and you get similar numbers once you port the heads and use a better cam (kind of like what hartley did to his V8 you have there)
Anthony Hill
Here we go with THIS shit again...
Samuel Thomas
>TURBOCHARGED
Wow big fucking deal OP. Now show me the torque curve you little bench-racing fucc-boi.
Liam Rodriguez
>and you get similar numbers
lol no motus makes less power than a hayabusa inline 4 with over 200cc of extra displacement
Nicholas Edwards
These tiny high power engines are fantastic imo.
The world is changing, and if you like cars then it's not mostly positive. These engines allow for enthusiast to say "oh well it's only an 3cly/1.3L" or multiple boost maps let you say "oh well it gets 60mpg" etc.
This way you can keep green big brother off your back and enjoy cars for a while longer.
Colton James
Like I said, give it the revs and airflow and it'll make the power.
I'm saying, just because someone hasn't done it doesn't mean it cannot be done.
Adrian Ross
>thinks needing two turbos isn't bad engineering >thinks the weight of all the turbos and wiring won't easily exceed ohv n/a
Connor Scott
plus, the motus v4 is just an LS cut in half, so no, you wont get similar numbers an LS is waaay heavier than a hartley v8
Noah Johnson
The one we had here at Road Atlanta at the Petit Le Mans got crashed into by a Porsche.
Noah Richardson
>needing turbos is bad enginnering
friendly reminder pushrodcucks are this stupid
>for example >posts a custom made racing engine
ok
both the hayabusa inline 4 and the motus are street engines, and both can be modified to make more power, your point is moot
Dominic Walker
>your example >not a custom special snowflake racing engine itself
top kek.
If I had to choose between the hartley and a pushrod engine I can buy I'd get an SB2.2
Robert Sanders
>a hayabusa inline 4 is a special snowflake racing engine
top kek
Elijah Price
>your example >a huyabusa inline 4
looks like more than 4 cylinders to me
Justin Lee
seewe are talking about the motus half an LS engine here
James Howard
It isn't half an LS, it's just based off the design. secondly, like I said. Give it the heads and cam to rev as high as the huyabusa inline 4 and it would make more power.
They're made for two different applications, if both were built for the same shit it would have similar results, pushrod or OHC.
>hurr durr it makes less power
the YZF-R1 makes 200hp/L but I never call the huyabusa a shitty engine.

Nathaniel Adams
>Give it the heads and cam to rev as high as the huyabusa inline 4 and it would make more power. it wont, you can CNC port the hayabusa heads and give it a bigger cam aswell
modified hayabusa engines make close to 240hp, and even more with a stroker
>if both were built for the same shit it would have similar results doubt.jpg
pushrods can't rev you would need extra displacement to make up for the lower rev limit
>YZF-R1 makes 200hp/L and thats because it has a DOHC valvetrain not lol2valve pushrods
Bentley Brooks
>pushrods can't rev
They can, it takes work but they can do it.
Mechanically speaking, if your cam for our pushrod engine has a larger core (nascar cam cores go into 80mm diameter) you can use a softer arm ratio and larger lift.
If you also do 4 valves per cylinder instead of two like what you usually see with pushrod engines you can rev into 17,000 with the right mods. Not quite 20,000 like DOHC but you can do it because you have less weight for the cam to move overall.
a simple flat lifter, titanium rods (which not even nascar or sprintcup uses and they can rev into 10,500 easily), good heads and 4 valves per cylinder and you can pretty much pull it off.
>thats because it has a DOHC valvetrain not lol2valve pushrods
it's much more than that, it's compression ratio, airflow, revs and valveweight.
Like i said, L2engine, you can pretty much pull off crazy shit with either DOHC and OHV, don't even get me started on desmodromic setups.
Julian Hernandez
Really hate Veeky Forums some days.
Jeremiah Bennett
>They can, it takes work but they can do it. >pushrods can rev up to 20k a small nitro RC pushrod engine maybe
>If you also do 4 valves per cylinder instead of two like what you usually see with pushrod engines you can rev into 17,000 with the right mods >4 valve pushrod engines revving up to 17k now this is the biggest bullshit I've read on Veeky Forums, congrats
>you can pretty much pull it off. no, you can't, you need gears or a belt in DOHC to pull that off because the vibration will destroy your valvetrain, you wont rev a somewhat big sized pushrod engine to 17k or 20k when just a chain can destroy your valvetrain you are delusional
Like you said, L2 engine
Lucas Wood
Block dates back to the 60s.

>NEEDING turbos Everything needs turbos. Some engines just don't get them.
Jonathan Reyes
Yeah, your 10000hp "mopar" hemi is not a 50 year old 7 litre, mr shitposter.
Jacob Kelly
It is part of a hybrid drivetrain. the electric motor will have all the torque you could want.
Jason Jenkins
Sexy.
Cameron Thompson
>These tiny high power engines are fantastic imo.
I agree.
>The world is changing
Pls no, the current year can fuck off.
Michael Green
A factory Honda pushrod engine revs to 10K RPM.
Modern pushrod engines can rev insanely high. It's just too bad nobody has done a desmo pushrod yet. Theoretically, on an engine with a short stroke (like most proper racing engines that run high RPM, to reduce piston speeds), you also have a short pushrod, and therefore low inertia. Using light materials, you can get up to extreme RPM. However, I haven't seen a 4 valve head and cam combo that'd flow at 17K. Theoretically, some very good 2 valve heads could do that, they outflow DOHC 4v heads easily anyways.
Aiden Davis
Played around with the numbers for a while, you need some long headers to pull it off.
Really light lifter mass (including the pushrod and rocker arm) can achieve the RPM easily.
Having 4 valves only really reduces valve weight. With 2 valves you get up to 14,500RPM with no valve toss.
What the user didn't get is that it just hasn't been done, not that it cannot be done and anything that revs past 12,000rpm usually doesn't have a stroke more than 3 inches.
>A factory Honda pushrod engine revs to 10K RPM. thats a long way for 17k
>Modern pushrod engines can rev insanely high. no they don't
>and therefore low inertia still more inertia than a belt or gear OHC
>I haven't seen a 4 valve head and cam combo that'd flow at 17K. you are so clueless it hurts head flow restriction is not dictated by RPM, but by valve lift and vaccum
>they outflow DOHC 4v heads easily anyways. lol
Nathan Gray
>dat video
yeah dude it says 12000rpm in the title so i guess it must be true
