DD_Arthur Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Strange...I can see it using Chrome. How about this; 5 litre, supercharged and nitrous oxide kit. Should be just about enough. Quote
Crash Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Impressive. How does the chain handle the power? Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I don't like the thought of my nuts being so close to that nut mangling cam wheel. Quote

DD_Arthur Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I don't suppose it would be Buster Gonad's first choice of scoot. Hmmmm......yeah, I can see some fundamental design flaws here - getting your scrotum caught in the cam wheel under emergency braking would be a major one. @Crash; chain life would no doubt be short but the main problem with these sort of things is the primary transmission - transferring all that torque from the crankshaft to the transmission. I know he had to use a three speed gearbox from a late 'fifties Holden as it was the only thing he could find that would fit in the available space with a butch enough mainshaft to cope with the power output. This engine was created by slicing off two cylinders from a scrap merlin that came out of a Mossie. It's still alive and for sale! http://thekneeslider.com/5000cc-v-twin-motorcycle-engine-for-sale/ 'Course you could always create a vehicle with "direct" transmission. Quote
