TheGiant Gaming you all are wrong🤣 it’s just 2 cylinders worth of the Noonan 4.900 bore center outlaw hemi. It’s a dyno mule to try different combinations at a lower cost.
Wow man, I don't even know where to start...I have ALWAYS been into Sonny's engines, but that flat four as well as the V-twin are both really cool. These engines are just mind blowing. Thanks for taking the time to post them all for us!
Fantastic bad azz content, great video Thank you for sharing. Please keep em coming, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE.
That's how its always been i asked an old mechanic when i was a kid how fast will it go and he asked me how much money do you want to spend i soon caught on.
around 20 years ago someone had built what we today would call a crude version of that v-twin. it started with a keith black top fuel block, cut into pieces and welded back together as a 2 cylinder. brad anderson heads got the same treatment. iirc it ran a 6-71 blower, and it did run on nitro, and made around 1200hp. it was built for a land speed car. i figured this v-twin was either a display piece, or something for another land speed car. interesting to see its actually a dyno mule.
That's the architectural limits of a 1920s engine design. 99% of other manufacturers had realised 4v heads and OHC with spark in the centre of the chamber and true crossflow designs were superior almost 60 years ago. America will catch up. Eventually.
What's the lines going in between the exhaust ports above the sparkplugs on the Ford sprintcar engine? With the lines going over the valve cover? Direct injection?
There are some incredibly smart people out there with some serious cnc machining skills. I showed my brother who is a killer cnc machinist and he was pretty impressed. We have always wanted to build our own cars since we used to build plastic models together. All I need is around 30 million in hundreds and a fire proof credit card because I would be cookin' that thing buying parts....... I want to create my own suspension done with computer controlled hydraulic pumps at crazy pressure levels to react fast enough to control the transfer of weight front to back and side to side..... could be done..... just need some cash.
Hold up. That Sonny's Racing engine makes about 153 HP/liter naturally aspirated. That's incredibly impressive. Also, If the Jesel engine lives up to it's hype, the current estimate is that it will produce 1325 HP with a 12000 RPM redline. That's 189 HP/liter, which is insane! Can't wait to hear what that sounds like.
I’m very confused, that isn’t that much? Mercedes builds a stock mass produced engine with 2.0 liters and 4 cylinders. It makes over 400hp, of course it’s turbocharged. But much more efficient and more power than the engines you praise. And it runs 150000 miles without an rebuild.
@@rolux4853 what's impressive about these engines is that they make that much power per liter WITHOUT a turbo or supercharger. I think the highest naturally aspirated output per liter in a production car is the Pagani Huayra R with 139 hp/liter. I believe the Honda S2000 still holds the record for more normal production cars at 124 hp/liter. Also please check the age of the comment before you reply to it.
Two stroke diesels are awesome and very clean. A radial four (X) has near zero torque vibration and no mechanical vibration. A twin row is even smoother. All four rods are carried on one crank pin so simple to make. Intake are is blown through reed valves. Exhaust has a variable port height to keep the torque high across the range.
I think that when Rolls Royce were developing the Merlin and "R" engines they ran single cylinder prototypes to see the potential horsepower figures. So to see the "twin" is unusual but not a first. Of course aeroengine manufacturers were pioneers in supercharging and turbocharging .
Royce's made "star" engines to test concepts for their 24 cyl X engines and many single cylinder test engines, one of which led to the infamous 'ramp head' in the very first Merlins, which failed badly when scaled to the full size V12.
Wow this is like a X mass present from Santa.....so clean precise engineering Marvels of modern world Wish I had it all ....anyway thanks for sharing master pieces...Merry X mass
Oh it's really special never heard on v2 1000hp engine...love to hear this massively supercharged beast ...well it's easy to overhaul with just two massive clynders
The two cylinder test engine is pretty interesting . Here in Australia I knew a guy who built an engine of similar size by cutting the front two cylinders off a Rolls Royce merlin V12 . then ran it in a motor bike.
Thanks a lot, and thanks for subscribing! I hope to have a lot of cool stuff coming up in the very near future. Next up if all goes as planned with be a big-inch Hemi with a 671 blower.
Back in the day at the time of Daytona qualifying. They said the cranks were timed 180° past TDC. With different firing order. I thought they were using a flat plane crank some how. They were timed like the Rodeck engines. Giving them a completely different sound. You could here the difference with pull trucks using them. Just something I remember about those engines.
I’ll take 1 twin blown V16’s please. Then I’ll put it in the bed of my 1970 long bed Chevy pick up so it’s mid engine-ish. The motors probably worth 6 times with my truck is. I think that’s a good investment😂! Smiles are priceless. Also have a Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate people.
Lord..HP porn!! Now back to my low budget reality..HP is just a crutch anyways..but we all want it!! Minus the blower..that twin would look mighty fine in my old Shovelhead..
That V16 is pretty cool for a race boat and I'm sure some people will try to put them in cars. I'd like to see what they could do if they tried to push the numbers higher though. Right now they're only practical for race boats because in something like a drag car they'd be too heavy for how much power they make.
@@Lazaralis yes sir I know a few cats that would put that engine in a bike frame without hesitation. Granted they might not live long afterwards but they'd do it
@@kevincollins2184 I thought Harley, too. But, how in the world could you get it to hook up? The tire would have to be 48" wide! Furthermore, could you get enough weight on it to stick it to the launch pad?
@@RalphSampson... I'm sure it could be done I mean look at nitro Harley drag bikes some of them make around 1000hp and guys have figured out how to make those hook and book, granted I'm sure it wouldn't be very pleasant to strapped to though.

The two cylinder 1000hp motor was incredible. The flat 4 also. I love engineering like that. Those engines could fit In anything! 🔰
That's far from small dude! The v twin from supercharger to flywheel is longer than 2 Ls blocks
This was one of the BEST and most informative videos I've seen. No clickbait and just straight to the point... Definitely subscribed.
Thanks!
Yep i subbed
@@22ron81 Thanks!
100% agree
So now the V16 LS swap Duesenburg owners have been howling for is finally available! Great job everbody.
That tractor pulling engine that was Chrome/Steel/Aluminium was absolutely GORGEOUS.
Am i the only one wanting to hear what that 1000hp V-twin is going to sound like????
Imagine that engine in a Harley!
That thing has got to sound so wicked!
watch?v=zLY7QRPksaQ Sorry, I think this is the flat 4....

Fantastic bad azz content, great video Thank you for sharing. Please keep em coming, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE.
That flat four was BRILLIANT!
It was never hard to go fast or have big power...when you have DEEP POCKETS... and youre definitely going to need them to play here.
That's how its always been i asked an old mechanic when i was a kid how fast will it go and he asked me how much money do you want to spend i soon caught on.
Every one of those is a masterpiece!
That falt 4 was by far the most interesting engine of the video.
@@unbekannterhummer5135 as someone who has built hot VW 2175 flat fours, it ain't the same :-) Drooling over it!!!!
Thanks for the video. It's incredible how the engineers can push out a massive amount of horsepower of their products.
That flat 4 is ridiculous. Super compact, super light, with a goal of 2000 hp! That's ridiculous! And it'll literally fit in anything.
Seriously Brilliant content! Thank you
I LOVE these engines!!!!!!!! Gday from Australia
Gday from melbourne 😁

Excellent choice's, loved the content, keeps an old gearhead like me in the know.👍
Thanks to all who made it!
Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for watching!
Sema =bondo liftblocks and woodscrews
PRIS= billet blocks and titanium hardware and lots of boost
Sema sucks unless your a body designer really. Everything is so fake alot doesnt work never was built to etc. Cant stand all the fakeness.
We need more coverage of the PRI Show. Love the video format I've watched this video at least 60 times since it came out. More Pri coverage please 🙏🏾
when power becomes art, this is what you get,

I'd like to see that flat 4 in a sleeper VW Bug! That would be awesome!
Ofcourse but with engine everything else needs to be upgraded otherwise bug will be destroyed in seconds....lol🤣🤣👍merry X mass
Looked super wide, to accomadate what must be a big old crank stroke
we have a similar blown engine in a front engined Karmann Ghia
I think that engine is best out-there ! It has great future in any car you put it in!
That idiot asking dumb questions needs to understand that Subaru and Porsche also make horizontally opposed engines
This engines look really bad ass !!!
Looking forward to an update... Time flies!
wonder what the torque figure is on that nitro diesel with 2k horses, probarbly revs to like 7-8 k ?
Damn 1000 from 2 cylinders that’s madness
I want the big V-Twin
Harley bagger build 🤔
Man does this thing Pull😎
What's the lines going in between the exhaust ports above the sparkplugs on the Ford sprintcar engine? With the lines going over the valve cover? Direct injection?
Yes, I'm pretty certain that's the mechanical fuel injection.
they already did a v16 in a car in 1932, auto union type d > seeing a remake of that one would be mental !

I have a question on 13:30min .Do you mean the guy drive this on on Public Roads to the Drag strip?
That V16 is a beast. Kind of like a DD 12V92
it’s the thing of beauty!
How do they keep the intake temps down on Tom Baileys Camaro with the air filters sitting millimeters away from the exhaust headers?
I missed the V4 2.0L V4 engine made from 4 Honda CR500 cylinders. Where was that at? Sigh we 2 stroke lovers can only dream!
impressive engines makes life exciting
Great stuff/vid. Now I Jones to hear/see them run!
Great stuff, Jeff!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
It's about time someone made a high performance ej2.5 subbie motor
Headers to close to coil packs and plug wires .. Nice motor !
that first engine is sick!
Imagine that 2cylinder on a Harley drag bike! Or even a 4cylinder version!
That was my first thought, too.
The second engine looked beastly 😈
Things of beauty.
Amazing!

1000 HP from a twin!
Hellsakes, I was superhappy to wring out 102 HP from my 1100 CC 92 Virago engine...
I NEED TO HEAR THESE MOTORS!
That 16 cylinder engine NEEDS to be in a Hydroplane.
My buddy has a airboat he would love it but im showing him the 1000hp vtwin and the 3000hp flat 4 first due to weight vs hp
That thing needs to be in my car. Id sit on the backseats then, so theres enought space for it. Fine for me. :D

No.

It would look wicked with the injector stacks sticking out of the hood about a foot!
Lol i thought that exact thing when i first heard it waz ford based. Man that would be one killer mean ass fox!!!
