1GZ-FE pics and measurements. Drool included.

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?

Um, what's the chances of that happening on any engine? About the same I'd say. The fact that there's more hardware in there means SFA, what matters is the design of each individual component and the load it's being subjected to.

The biggest increase in costs comes when you go to a V or flat design over Inline because everything basically has to be done twice. Two head castings, two block castings etc etc.
The modification side is basically doubled too.

[Norbie]

You are correct, but when did cost get mentioned?

In any case I don't think an inline 12 would be very practical.

[takai]

It didnt, i was merely trying to point out that that is one of the few things which changes dramatically when you go to a V rather than I. Of course costs will increase as you add cylinders, but not as dramatically.

these would look nice

Ferrari 3006? Ummmm what Ferrari is this out of? If it is blatantly obvious I am sorry. Seems like I am missing anything and everything on these forums lately.
Do Ferrari engines have engine codes? Can someone give me an example please.
Anyone know which ferrari ran a 12 cylinder boxter engine? Want to google some engine pics.
Thanks

Um, WTF???

Think about it, why the F*K would Ferrari be running a Toyota Engine???
No one has ever mensioned Ferrari in the post.
And a 12 cylinder boxter, i highly doubt that thats even feasable to build.

dont know what reference this has too the thread but one of the flat 12 fazza's was the 512BB
(5L 12cyl berlinetta boxer)

[oldcorollas]

just to clear up, 3006 is the TWM series of throttle body in the pic... the pic was only posted as a demo of a 12 ITB setup.

Really, well how about that.
Would have thought it would be too impracticle.
Then again, i guess a lower centre of mass would be a great thing to have for a 12cylinder.

[no_tofu_speed]

Sorry people, I only opened mymouth asking about a couple of Ferrari things as the pic that was an ITB example sparked my interest.

Thats usually a good time to start a new thread then.
