4:15 it is worth noting that the often quoted (and unofficial) "1250-1500bhp" that grows every time it is mentioned was only possible for one hot lap before wrecking the engine. Race output was more in the 900bhp range.

"How did that work?" I should imagine without 500 mile service intervals, and regular rebuilds, quite briefly!! Lol

Why do the Brits measure capacity in liters , weight in kilograms but torque in pound and feet???

That engine NEEDS to be in a Caterham. =D

Koenigsegg finally found a worthy opponent

It's such a shame that Nissan didn't put a chilled out 150-200bhp version into production, would have made for an amazing platform and being so small you'd be able to swap it into almost anything if you can custom fab some engine mounts Also Diglett dig, Diglett dig, Trio Trio Trio

Quick, put it in a Miata!

This could have revolutionized Nissan's lineup

I wasn't surprised to hear that photo was a fake - 40kg may be super-light for an engine but it's still 40kg :) Having said that, if you'd like to put one in the post for my MX-5 I'd be eternally grateful :D

"Uh sir what do you have in the bag?" "An Engine" "Sir What?!" "DID I STUTTER?!"

No, the F1 BMW turbo did not produce 1500hp. Just because people keep saying it doesn't make it true, even if it is said by ex-F1 drivers with a fading memory. Some people agree that it made somewhere between 1300 and 1400hp in qualifying trim, with qualifying fuel. At one point, not even the BMW dyno could measure numbers as high as 1500.

Imagine this thing in a Nissan Figaro.

I want this engine in a motorcycle!

The lighter and smaller the quicker they go pop! We are seeing that in all engines across all manufacturers.

Koenigsegg`s Tiny Friendly Giant Engine, Twin Turbo Freevalve 3-cylinder is 600 hp and 70 kg / 154.3 lb 🤩

This video just seemed a bit confused, I never got what point it was presenting or what cool and interesting thing we were being shown. "Here is this high power-per-weight engine. A turbo 3-cyl making 400 HP and weighing in at 40 kg/88 lb. PS: it's a race engine and was never available to the public." I can think of another fairly light-weight three cyl that makes ridiculous power for its weight. The G16E-GTS from the GR Toyota models, which is a 1.6L 3-cyl making 300 HP in street trim, and capable of over 450 HP when custom tuned. Which is available to the regular consumer, and can be bought as a crate engine. "Here's an alternative high power-per-ton engine. It's also for racing use only and not yet available despite being in development for over a year and a half." At this point you might as well point out the JFC Racing Monobloc v8, which comes in two flavors, a twin-turbo 2.8L weighing under 300 lbs with the turbos, intake, and headers and producing 765 hp; and a naturally-aspirated 3.2L weighing in at 200 lbs with an output of 460 hp. Or any of Judd's offerings, or any of the half-dozen or so other motorcycle-derived engine variants made by various boutique engine manufacturers. Each of which will set you back the cost of a very nicely equipped sports car.

I'd be interested in putting that katech in an MGB GT

9:00 An engine is not pre-heated to "maximize lubrication". A racing engine is pre-heated so that clearances and other dimensions are within design tolerances. When the engine is cold, due to negative thermal expansion some parts will be out of design specs. Even systems which do not require any lubricants may need to be run only at operating temps for clearance reasons.

This is so cool I don't know how I didn't learn about this engine when reading about the delta wing. Another awesome little engine is the 3 cyl 1.0L ecoboost in the Formula Ford, I just remember that Chris Harris was blown away by it.
