well according to ht it says tech is for things that might not fit anywhere else, today at work was slow and boring, after practicing my tig welding, i sat and did alot of thinking.

Why doesnt honda make a v-8 engine somehow putting two b or k series blocks together? i mean the heads are great, bottom ends pretty stout, good tolerances, maybe a horizontally opposed 8 cylinder, could you still get 100hp/liter like the b16 if you created a 3.2l? or on a bigger brother like a b20, 4 liter 400hp? seems like if they apply the heads and geometry to a larger displacement v8 engine they could really be the top of the v8 market, and with reasonable 11:1 or 11.5:1 compression with good pentroof chambers with good quench zones it would run just fine on pump gas, vtec with a v8? sounds good to me

 

any thoughts?

Sadly, Honda dropped out of Formula 1 at the end of last season.

 

thats a f1 race engine, those are pretty wicked, the theory behind the power is simple, hp is hp tq is tq, hp being torque over time, you dont have alot of torque but you have alot of time ie rpms, so get that little displacement sucker to rev to the moon and breathe well and you get some good 700hp ish but only like 240-280 lbft of tq.

 

The Honda team was purchased by Carlos Slim, [for $1] Bruno Senna will drive.

Yes there will be a Honda in F1 in 2009.94
