Why have 8, when you can have 9?

Check this out. W9 engine. Looks very interesting.

Nice find mate, very interesting.

Not bad power and torque either really.

holy ****!

Not bad? At a mere 182cubes that is great power!!!

[XRated]

That's insane! I wonder how it sounds.

[Fair302]

That is amazing, what a piece of art. Look at those inlets and cooling pipes let alone the exhaust.

[TUF514]

there are some amazingly talented people in this world.

looks cool but i dunno if id like it in my coupe.....

nice power though.... built for tri turbos and over 1000 hp... mmmmmm!

[xbgs8]

Dam thats some crazy stuff, imagine that in an esky or somthing like that !!!!!

[nitroman]

Nice engine! It's amazing to see it go from blueprints to production in less than a year. It would be interesting to see it in a car, even more interesting to see it with some decent cubes!

[Polyal]

Holy Crap! 10700rpm...nice!

And that was for a thesis..bugger me.

[SpoolMan]

Nice find, some big bucks there..

[Auslandau]

Yes would love to know how much it would be to design and produce something like that.....a one off......from scratch! Stupidly talented!

Some huge CAD and tech know-how there, imagine the work it took to design every component. It would be interesting watching the CNC's making the block from a huge chunk of aluminium

What a retard - trying to mate 3 x 3cyl engines(the most dynamically unbalaned engines) If he went for 3 x 4cyl engines it would probably have cost less due to the time spent trying to balance the thing.

Still amazing he got it to work, show he has some skill.

making 500+hp from something that was designed from scratch with nothing that you could have even looked upon for guidance, thats good. and to make it rev to 11k, thats gold. Top work by the people who built it, dont care what anyone says

[5.0failane]

estimated 1000 hp when fitted with tri-turbos from 120kgs thats some pretty impresive sums!

[StookEB]

How wide will the engine bay have to be to fit it?

[Rev28K]

VW use their 3 cylinder engines in a lot of applications – two banks of 3 = V6 and 4 banks of 3 = W12. They seem to be a bit restricted in their inlet/exhaust manifolds to make it all fit. They have very narrow angles between the banks.

They also claim that the engines are very compact. i.e. a W12’s width is comparable to a 90 degree V layout and for some reason the height isn’t that bad either.

I'm not sure how 3 x 4 cyls would go with balance either. You'd have two opposing 4's which cancel each others secondary shaking force out but would then introduce a seconday shaking force by virtue of the 3rd 4 in the W. I'm fairly sure it's the secondary shaking force that is out with 4's anyway - been ages since I've done the analysis.

[xr8man83]

sertinly different isnt it

[Mechan1k]

That is some talent indeed.

[wodahs]

mmmm think ill wait for the w-18 to come out , geez wouldnt want to do plugs in it
