i've toured the factory its a damn cool engine!

the guy that invented it from the ground up used to be in the nsw gemini club :D

the day we went they were testing it with a supercharger and put something like 18psi thru it before it blew up

i offered my liberty for testing of course...

that's quite an unusual concept! be very interesting to see how far they take it and whether anyone's willing to employ it

[Marty]

well if u have a read of that site they got similar power to a VW engine with a quarter of the capacity..

its relatively low in power now but shows promise.. best of luck to them i say, aussie enginuity

Im pretty sure they were or are using EJ engine blocks. Im sure the weak point of those engines will be the bearings, any det on one of those ball bearings will kill them no sweat.

Well i see a ej oil pump there anyways, altho no blocks?

[Marty]

i dont think so, it was pretty much from the ground up, but they were using dohc motor bike heads on it for a while, honda or yamaha not sure, so they revved pretty well
