At least that one is going into a car which deserves it. Far out that old fella will be sweet.
I don't relaly see myself being able to afford to buy, install and mod a 1gz-fe, so I'm gonna pass on that
4 cams, 48 valves, 12 ITBs, 12 pistons.. there's just too damn much of everything![]()

im thinking that one of them would look stunning under the bonnet of my crown![]()
i imagine they would still be rather hard to get hold of and pricey at the same time, but i guess there are always goals that you can aim for![]()

Pure sex. Imagine what it would sound like at 9000rpm!Originally Posted by oldcorollas

... nothing. Your ears would be bleeding.
...... butt scratcher?!
I got a mess to clean up now...
Beautiful engine, but 12 cylinders means there's just a bit too much to go wrong if there is ever an engine-fart. Dare I ask if these are interference engines or not?
Eh? Are you suggesting that 4 cylinder engines are more reliable than V8's because they have fewer cylinders? Empirical data suggests it doesn't really work like that...

VVTi so very likely an interference motor.
I don't believe that's what I said. I know 4-cyl's can screw up just as badly... what I was getting at is there's a lot of hardware in a V12. What's the chances of a spun bearing or a piston or a rod going gabooey on you at high RPM?Originally Posted by Norbie

3 times the chance, assuming the engines are similarly designed and are treated equally?
not really, isn't a 3SXXX more likely to spin a bearing than a 4AXXX?
more to do with engine design than number of parts i'd say.
Just a quick calculation.....
353 ftlb @ 4000rpm ~ 478 Nm @ 4000rpm
and then another conversion
4000 rpm ~ 419 rads/s
Then for the power calculation...
Power = angular velocity * torque = 419 * 478
~ 200kW @ 4000 rpm
Whats the redline of this badboy?
400Nm of torque @ 6500RPM equates to approximately 270kW
i have no idea of the redline or the torque at redline... but i think that the claimed figure of ~208 kW is just a tad conservative...
