You can get blown 540's without a worry and make a lazy 1000hp :)

But yes, engineers in Vic have not been signing off on large V8's into light cars for a number of years, hardly surprising.

I'll see your 540 and raise you another 32 cubic inches :)

That's 9.4 litres in newspeak. And in blown / chassis twisting form:

But that's just crate engines...custom and stroked out garner nearly limitless possibilities. The worlds fastest street legal vehicle was at some point a Calibra fitted with IIRC a 10.5 litre Chev big block V8.

Same bloke just wow'ed 'em at summernats with his latest creation based on the same sized engine, but this one is from a tank

(the chev had a P51 Mustang aeroplane engine in it, and when you consider that aeroplane engines run in the opposite direction to every other internal combustion engine, it makes the engineering of that thing all the more impressive IMO)

BTW - 1650ci? thats 27 litres in the new speak kiddies :P

Although my personal favourite "monster" engine is actually a 4cyl...

Built for the 1912 Benz 82/200 it had a displacemnt of 21.5 litres!!! That is 5.375 litres PER CYLINDER!!! :P

    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
