Yeah, higher compression and no cats. That is what destroyed performance in the 70s and 80s, compression brought down and the catalytic converter, literally cut horsepower in half. I think the Buick 6 cylinder, used in the Grand National, in the late 80s was the beginning of adjusting to and getting numbers back up.

@scottcupp8129 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheSchmed Absolutely. Someone lopped the cat off of my 99 E250 Cargo with 5.4 in it. So I had a welder friend of mine weld me a couple pieces of pipe where the cat was. In Lea County NM we do not have to worry about smog regulations as there are none here. After that cat was chopped off, I noticed a considerable increase in horsepower and performance. That 5.4 Liter 2 valve can breath and it loves it.

Visio! The Sea Scouts group that I'm a member of owns a ship with a straight 8 Deutz engine! It's called the SA8M 517 :) We maintain it ourselves. There's only some info on it out on the internet. It's a naturally aspirated, 18.050 cc (18,05 L) indirect injection four stroke diesel unit with an overhead valvetrain (two valves per cylinder) and somewhere between 155 and 170 horsepower at 1350 rpm. Its bore x stroke sizes are 130 x 170, respectively and it weighs 1.5 tonnes. No idea on maximum torque though. Maybe you knew about it already and didn't put it in one of the videos because there's hardly any footage of it, but anyhow, here you go :) I'll upload a few videos of it if you like, for your next inline 8 engine video! I'm also subscribed by the way, keep up the good work!

A good range of inline 8 engines, from the low revving low horsepower automobile engines built for smoothness to powerful racing engines. That Mercedes engine was a real monster especially for when it was built. If you do another episode on straight eights you have to include the Sulzer 8LDA28 in the British Railways class 33 locomotive, this is another very nice sounding and long lived diesel engine.

@3RTracing 3 жыл бұрын

just a subtly that most folks would not know about or notice, but one of those Mercedes Benz engines you show is actually 2 inline 4's linked together. That configuration was used in the 300 SLR race car up to 1955 when the SLR crashed into the crowd, and burned to the ground as a great deal of magnesium was used on that car. Regardless, MB used two 4 cylinders linked together in a number of race efforts. One of the most successful racing campaign wherein straight eights were used, and who won many races was the Studebaker inline 8L. Examples of this remarkable engine can be found online, with some excellent pictures and descriptions. Thanks again for making motive power so interesting and educational.

You know, I know quite a bit about American engines. But, I got to tell you, all the european motors, and all the motors around the rest of the world, some of which I knew nothing about, until I found Visio Racer Channel. You've actually taught me so much information about engines from across the globe, motorcycles from across the globe, and that's not to be taken lightly, considering I am an ASE certified Master Tech of 38 years. So, I'm no stranger to engines, I promise you. I built my first small block Chevy V8 when I was 12 years old. Built my first Briggs & Stratton when I was six. I got my first motorcycle when I was 7. I absolutely love the channel, love the layout. There's only one thing I dislike, not really dislike, just like the old one better, let's say..... that has to be you drifting that blue car in the intro. Yeah, that never gets old. But yeah this channel is 💯 all day long.

I think the straight-eight is suited to the narrow hood and independent fenders that were used in the old days. They are better at cutting thru the air and much easier to work on. I think they should be brought back. I would snap one up for sure. I'm sick of all the bs on the market now.

You share my exact sentiments sir. With todays superior metallurgy and electronic gimicry, a DOHC alloy head, 9 main bearing alloy block engine would be a dream to own ! Fuel injection, stratified charge combustion chambers, and variable valve timing , 4 valves per cyl, That's the way to go !! It would be great ,if it was a short stroker, over square bore to accommodate canted intake valves of large diameter, to enhance swirl. The higher revs thus attainable, would make this a real winner. Torque, power, revs, smoothness, and best of all , that sound of a 16258374 firing order !!
