Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion.
For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range.













wow, just wow

 

I wonder if I could get that under the hood of my s2000.

 

Well the S2K hood is rather long... and most ignorant people already think there is a V-10 under there...

 

Timing belt isn't going to be cheap on that motor. FYI, that has been around for years but I still enjoy looking at the pics.

is this SOHC or DOHC??

 

Well the article says it is two-stroke. But in schematic there is a picture of a valve
