Default New Air Cooled Engine

Several weeks ago, we dynoed our air cooled, six cylinder test engine -- 4 liter, 2 valve, normally aspirated. Result was 430 HP with street gas and a catalytic converter. There are several modifications that various engineers have suggested which should result in approximately 440 HP. Given parts that have to be added, made and those that require modification, the next dyno run will be January. After that, on to the 4 valve version which, if successful, will be available to anyone.

This is news to me. Is it a boxer? What does it weigh? And what will it cost?

Great work Robert. Been waiting to hear your results with this engine. Thats the highest output on pump gas I have seen. Are you running Motec or similar?

Engine Management is Bosch. After January dyno run, we will begin durability testing. It is a boxer. Weight will depend upon how far a someone wishes to go but with the use of titanium, titanium aluminide, aluminum MMC, carbon fiber, etc., we can make it the lighest possible engine. Feel free to call me at 212-628-6778 to discuss.

While this is awesome news, I'm guessing even a basic build will cost more than my C2 is worth.
