11 Mad Engines You May Not Know About | Ep. 7

[@victorborg7285]

I miss my Suzy kettle. That bike was my pride and joy 35yrs ago. You never forget that exhaust note at high Rev or the smell on a cold morning first start. Great video 🖒

[@mathewrichardson2830]

Glad to see the Barra I6 getting some recognition internationally! We've had it for so long, and I've owned many Falcon's with this motor and they're the most reliable, toughest and best sounding 6 cylinders I've ever seen. The turbos are also absolutely insane :P

[@dakota5041]

Thing sounds mean for sure, didn't know about this engine, wonder why there wasn't alot of hype around this motor

[@mathewrichardson2830]

@@dakota5041 Australian market only. They're HUGE in Aus. Stock form they can do 400kw with just turbo, exhaust and a tickle with a laptop (professionally of course!) I had one, bog stock, made 250kw atw and 550nm, 0-100 in 4.9sec and 13sec 1/4 mile. Still took me on long highway runs, used very little fuel for the size and power and was super reliable.

[@lelandlewis7207]

The Suzuki 750 triple had the nickname of "water buffalo". Packard was also well known for straight 8s.

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

+Leland Lewis Chrysler and Dusenberg too.

[@DrFruikenstein]

While there were more engines I didn't know about than usual, I was thrilled to see rare video of some engines that I've known about for decades. The Commer Knocker, the Chrysler Multibank, The Taunus V4 (reason why I've wanted a Sonett III since age 15), and the Buick 8 are all engines I've admired since childhood. Thanks for keeping me dreaming.

[@VisioRacer]

Glad you like it :)

[@Kimdino1]

Nice to see the Commer opposed piston engine here

[@GeneralG1810]

OMG that GT750 is in beautiful condition, can see some serious TLC is put into that

[@davow8]

Thanks for this. The Suzuki 750 "waterbottle" or "kettle" as they were affectionately known. Super smooth with a heap of bottom end grunt in standard trim. A wonderful touring bike in their day and the close tolerances allowed by more efficient cooling meant they were pretty bulletproof and reasonably economical on fuel. The 3 cylinder configuration was also used in air cooled form in the Suzuki 380 and 550 road bikes. A similar watercooled 550 cc engine was also used in the very early Suzuki off road 4WD L50's I think they were called. They all made that characteristic 2 stroke ring ding ring when off the throttle. Any 3 cylinder piston engine sounds good though I reckon.

[@patrickcannell2258]

Traffic cop bike at the time in Johannesburg South Africa. Their entire fleet was kettles or called waterbusses there.

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

Damn that Saab V4 sounded so good for such a small motor

[@VisioRacer]

Hey, guys! If you are willing to help me, please follow me on Google+ (plus.google.com/+VisioRacer) to get my KZbin channel verified. If you have something to suggest for this video series, type it down and it might be in next episode. Thank you!

[@heavyweapons5749]

You need too do the diamler benz MB501 idk if it exists but it looks awesome.

[@BlackCatRedScarf]

+Eduardo Cavalli Oh yes! I saw one of those running at my local racing track here in Brazil at the AIC... it's gorgeous! I wish I could put my hands in one of those car with these 3 cylinders 2-stroke 1 liter engines to try to put a proper ECU controlling the injection and spark advance. I'm not really sure how the wideband oxygen sensor would react to the extra oil on the exhaust gases (due the oil mixed up with the fuel), but to finely tune the engine during first runs before setting the ECU to work on open loop... I believe it would be just fine. :D I already got plenty of fun with my 1 liter Zetec Rocam supercharged (114.8 hp @ 7000 RPM running with 158kPa manifold pressure, higher spark advance and ethanol)... I would like to more stuff, but unfortunately I will to sell it... :/

[@dudu99cavalli]

T Mathias Opa, brasileiro! Sonho muito com um carro desses. Creio que com uns 10 mil reais da pra conseguir um em boas condições! Abraço

[@ronald6756]

+VisioRacer Subaru have made some flat six motors, could be something cool to feature!

[@BlackCatRedScarf]

+Eduardo Cavalli Sem dúvida é possível de arranjar algum por um valor bom. Além do mais... não sei não, mas tenho a impressão que esses motores 2 tempos possuem bastante potencial (o fato de ser um motor 2 tempos sem válvulas, significa que o único fator limitante da rotação é o balanceamento... provavelmente... rsrs) e com a tecnologia que temos disponível, deve ser possível dar uma melhorada legal em termos de eficiência e emissões de poluentes, sem perder nada do jeitão original do funcionamento do carro. Abraço!

[@Tshade67]

My first street bike was a 750GT, "Water Buffalo". I wish I still had it.

[@davealexander5555]

Suzuki made three 3-cyl two-strokes; a 380cc, a 550 cc and the 750cc shown here. The latter was water-cooled, and was sometimes called the Water Buffalo. I owned a 380 for a while; smoothest bike I ever rode. This engine configuration gives 6 power strokes per rovolution, which is partly why they are so smooth. There is slight rocking imbalance with a three cylinder but not too strong which is why they are smooth.

[@still_guns]

The Menard 4.2L V12 on the Panoz DP09 race car. Raced only in short-lived SuperLeague Formula racing. Matra MS9 V12 on Matra MS11 F1 car. Judd 4.0L V10 currently used on Benetton B197 F1. B197 used to have a Renault engine, but uses a Judd these days in BOSS GP.

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

some really crazy engineering here

[@doncarlo5]

the incredible thing is , the Honda RC 116 was a 4 stroke MotoGp bike !! they were almost 60 years ahead !

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

dude you have the best channel on youtube

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

So good to see the Barra I6 in one of your videos! Keep up the good work.

[@deltavee2]

I had straight sixes in both of my 3.0 litre Austin Healeys. They would outpull a Chevy 283 even taking weight difference into account. Straight 8s have incredible pull. Some of that stuff from the 30s....

[@douro20]

The Rootes TS3 wasn't the only engine made like that. A couple of American companies made similar engines, one of them being Auto Diesel.

[@M2orNot]

By the way, the Griffon in the very late versions of the Spitfire (Mk.24 and such) had an output of around 2400hp. So even more 2220hp!

[@castirondude]

The Cat 3408 and the Deutz BF12L513F are also cool engines to cover

[@Protein_isgood]

I think your intro is one of the best. it's pretty addictive.

[@exoticdank4206]

Ford Barra I6!? Never thought I'd see that engine in one of these vids!

[@trendkill777]

I know ay, i was like hey my old man has a falcon with that donk.

[@exoticdank4206]

Chunk Quagmire​I thought the I6 is just a normal engine. Apparently not! :D

[@bonzo9303204406]

wartburg did 993 cc two stroke straight-3 in 1966 it got only 56 hp, and my family had brown comby

[@Blanchy10]

The Barra motor was a double ohead cam (Variable) 4 valve per cyl. One street car just produced 2200hp

[@rEdf196]

In 1979 I recall Honda made a inline 6 cylinder horizontal mount motor cycle engine similar to the more familiar 4 cylinder CB750cc street bike. I remember seeing a few of these bikes in the 70's and 80's I would think such a bike today is extremely rare.

[@morningstarx5340]

That smart hatch was actually kinda dope. that shit had some 88-91 crx in it blood.

[@Joonas6]

it´s a shame that other car manufacturers did not use V4 engines that much. those old Saabs and old fords sound brilliant.

[@tomstech4390]

the rc211v v5 is a magnificent piece of engineering, i read an article somewhere about the design process and decision where honda worked out a v6 was too complex, an inline or v4 was boring, a v3 or v5 would be good but the v5 was better because the middle front cylinder reduced first order vibration and eliminated the need for a secondary balancer so the engine itself could be made lighter but also produced its own power, overall around 220-250hp. It was a monster to control and while most crews tried to eek more power out of their engines honda tried to reign their horses in so to speak and make it more manageable, this was done by development of the inverted link rear suspension and later more refined traction control which allowed the rider to control the rear 2 butterflys with the ecu controlling the front 3. The 75.5 degree angle meant the intake had a very straight shot down from the airbox down to the intake valves, the engine layout was changed later on moving the crank up and gearbox underneith to centralise the bike weight. slipper pistons are basic racing engine tech but if you look at a teardown of it the machining is just amazing, V.Rossi wanted big fairing on the bike like his old one because it reduced wind blast at speed, they tried it and it handled like a pig so they put the tiny minimalist fairing on which made it a monster engine with the smallest amount of aero parts and a mental rider perched on top, they won something like 15/16 races during its usage.

[@VisioRacer]

Wow, somebody has some knowledge about it. And it definitely sounds magnificent as well. Thank you for your comment.

[@tomstech4390]

+VisioRacer Thankyou for the video, the sherman engine sounds interesting, will have to look into it.

[@cartmanrlsusall]

that was interesting this channel is getting better with every vid

[@VisioRacer]

Thank you :)

[@iainmackenzie6379]

what a brave tank crew, the ones that rode into battle with chrysler engines.. lolol

[@petrkolonin3326]

I thought the same thing :D

[@silvanbouma7844]

Yeah haha

[@icebear1559]

+iain mackenzie I worked on these in a museum collection. very basic. and the power matching unit is simple. its like they found it on a tractor.

[@R-View]

+ICE BEAR Walter P. Chrysler Museum?

[@icebear1559]

Lord Strathcona Horse Museum. they have two of these in running order. i was a Canadian military mechanic. I used to fix there ferets and Centurion as well. they have alot of rolling stock.

[@j-tuned1955]

Bugatti and Duesenberg are better known for inline 8s than anyone. They were popular designs for early race cars as well as airplanes and some luxury cars because of their smooth operation.

[@Nippledozer]

Seems like almost all of those duesenbergs were inline 8s. What about Cord, did they make one?

[@Nippledozer]

on a side note, I saw a Stout Scarab today!

[@Nippledozer]

Packard definately had some as well.

[@Tchristman100]

Interesting thing-the Sherman tank used 4 drastically different engines during WWII. The most popular was a 7 cylinder air cooled radial gasoline engine with cooling fan. Then a Ford 1,000cu/in V-8, Chrysler's 5-6cyliner engine, and General Motors 2 6-71 Diesels mated together with a single transmission. This could be done since the engine was in the rear and the transmission was in the front.

[@waynehankinson8210]

It was a 9cyl Continental radial engine.

[@waynehankinson8210]

The Ford was all aluminum 4 cam engine.

[@lQuadXl]

The EL Ford Falcon shown @ 2:51 is a pre-year 2000 model Ford, although it appears to have a Barra I6 motor in it. 2002 model cars started with the BA Falcon, not EL as shown!

[@pweter351]

+Quad X It also had leaf springs which went in the early eighties

[@lQuadXl]

pweter351​ true the EL Falcon & BA utes and wagons have leaf springs! Thankfully at least the BA sedans didn't! 

[@machosker]

That mini v6 sounds great

[@timmungenast]

Bonus points for the Saab Sonett. I always loved those!

[@suzukiyesteryear]

Should be noted that the lowly Suzuki GT750 triple, in race trip, made 186 MPH in 1976. Scary fast back then...

[@MiroslavKastak]

Tyhle videa o motorech sou výborný :) Člověk se alespoň dozví něco nového :)

[@VisioRacer]

Ani nevieš, koľko sa aj ja naučím tvorbou týchto videí :D

[@spiritofecstasy224]

+Mirek Kašťák RIGHT!

[@Xantosh82]

that engine at 7:22 is refered as an opposed piston engine , the most memorable of it's design was the tri opposed piston engines in the Deltic Train that held a world record.

[@bryanst.martin7134]

+Lord Xantosh Fairbanks Morse had an 8 and 10 cylinder opposed piston diesel. Popular in old US diesel subs.

[@Baribrotzer]

It sounds a bit like a miniature Deltic. It's probably the loud "PAP! PAP! PAP!" of the pressurized exhaust pulses.

[@D34ADCH]

The Ford Barra I6 is actually detuned so it doesn't outperform the V8s. Apparently it can make 300kw (just over 400hp) with just a tune. I've also seen videos of stock Barras with simple bolt on turbos making 600+hp. It's a bloody ripper of an engine.

[@AccAkut1987]

+Nathaniel Hillbilly Sadly being a big and long hunk of metal stops it from ever becoming a favourite for swaps

[@D34ADCH]

Yeah, I suppose that's where the 4G63 comes in.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Yes, 300kw is about the safe power for a tuned stock engine with an intercooler etc. After that they can and do explode without better rods and pistons. And head gaskets! And the car that particular engine was in was not factory with that engine.

[@rotax636nut5]

The entire Honda 50 clip was given over to a long shot of the rev counter when it's the flaming engine that we all wanted to see! NITWITS

[@pianoman3214]

that two-stroke 3 cylinder sounds weirdly familiar. oh that's right, Mazda f*** yea!

[@johnbarnes8815]

Bruce_Jenner was

[@timheersma4708]

Two-stroke 3 cylinder diesel is also in a Ford farm tractor.

[@thestig572420]

So much win. Keep up the good work vis

[@robbmoose2542]

thanks for putting the Chrysler multibank in, was I the only one who recommended it?

[@VisioRacer]

Probably

[@MarsFKA]

My father would her been interested in seeing this clip of the Chrysler multibank. It would have brought back memories of when he was Sherman commander in the New Zealand Division in Italy, 1944-45. He said the New Zealand Division's first Shermans, when they were still in North Africa, came with GM 2-stroke diesels. They liked the engine and the fact that diesel fuel was harder to set alight than petrol. After they went to Italy, they started getting their tanks with this Chrysler motor. The reason was that the Americans were building thousands of landing craft for the Pacific war and needed all the GMs they could get. The Chrysler power plant was not universally popular among the tank crews and they sometimes had a hell of a job keeping the five motors synchronised. Another downside was the petrol-powered tanks caught fire very easily when hit and they lost a lot of people because of that.

[@woddow]

no hate, great video but that v4 launch @4:27 was the slowest launch I've ever seen in my entire life time lol

[@aidanoconnor6597]

my battered 96 miata with 4 past owners launches faster 😂😂

[@woddow]

Aidan O'Connor I believe you 100% 😂

[@isaiahwelch8066]

That first car reminds me of an early '90s Honda CRX -- and, I think, if ever released, would make an awesome drift car.

[@iant720]

Best one yet! Love the Commer knocker and the Multibank!

[@motorhead6763]

BMW twin crank opposed piston aircraft diesel, The Deltec three crankshaft opposed piston ( towards each other)triangle two stroke diesel ,Bamford rocking beam diesel in British trucks , the Honda 6 cylinder 250cc road racer from 1965 which made them famous and last a Willy's knight sleeve valve car engine. Also check out the mini gas turbine that was a kit to bolt on back of 10 bolt GM differential to give you few hundred extra HP..sold in 1960s hot rod era. Crazy huh...שלום

[@Nader620]

This exhaust pipe connects to an engine that's really cool.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

That Commer Knocker 3 cylinder diesel is whats called an opposed piston engine, the pistons are set as pairs inside a single cylinder with the tops of the pistons facing, the combustion space is between them. In this engine the movement of a pair is transmitted via rocker arms to a single cranckshaft, other designs use 2 cranckshafts coupled together with gears. Because these engines don't have heads they work thermal more efficient but they only can be built as two strokes as it is difficult to fit valves in the cylinder wall, a slight out of sync movement of a pair of pistons does time the opening and closing of intake and exhaust ports. Some other whopping OP engines to include in the next video are the Napier Deltic and Kharkov 10D100 engines. And have you had the Napier W12 aero engine that powered some landspeed record cars in the 1920's like the Sunbeam Napier, saw this car doing speedruns live and it really was outrageous. And like Marios Pantouvanos said you should have included a shot of a Scania V8 truck with open exhaust, these things sound really good.

[@hopefullagestandstall2484]

I loved the 650 cc at the end what a sound thanks.

[@Oymmit]

this made me nostalgic for my old beat up water buffalo.

[@pettoM95]

Another episode could be the largest engine in the world. From cars through military equipment to large engines in ships

[@ludo9234]

Gt 750 :-) I had a gt 380 .Kawa s1 250 Not heard one run for years. :-(

[@zedhead2864]

+LUDO I had a GT380 too. It was an interesting engine to say the least. It was cool to hear again!

[@theTank77]

that saab v4 is still one of the best sounding engines out there in my opinion

[@UncleSpuddy]

+Tank77 I think the Merc I8 from a previous vid was all kinds of epic but that V4 is up there with the best.

[@jayrx12]

Man I love the sound of V4's. The Lancia Fulvia also sounds epic.

[@VisioRacer]

It definitely sounds amazing, but I think you cannot say that it sounds the best. There are loads of other engines that have their own distinctive note and that make them very unique and absolutely beautifully sounding. However this Saab V4 must be one of them, yes.

[@theTank77]

+VisioRacer well if you actually read what I said it says it is one of the best I did not say it was the best.

[@VisioRacer]

I admit that, my bad!

[@madindie]

Nice to see the Barra donks there, should have shown the I6 turbo variant. Considered to be the best engine ever produced in Australia

[@oskarsigns]

Man that inline 8 sounded heavenly btw can some explain to me how the propellers on the rolls-royce griffon spin in opposite directions? Bet there's some cool engineering behind that.

[@moyadapne968]

+Oskarsigns! Called Contra-rotating props. There's a planetary gear-set in the system that can reverse the rotation of the rear propeller. That's the usual way of doing it. Automatic transmissions use these sets also.,

[@oskarsigns]

+moyadapne Nice, Thank you!

[@BJL2142]

hey visioracer I recommend your further research the barra engine, I'm an Australian and there were a couple of things wrong with your section on it, first is that the barra engine is only an inline 6, no v8's, the barra was first introduced in the production of the BA falcon, the ford ba falcon xr8 featured a boss v8, secondly the wagon you featured in the video was either an EF or el falcon and did not come factory with the barra (not trying to debate it actually having one) also, if you really want to be surprised by the potential the barra has, look up ba falcon xr6 turbo videos also check out bf and fg xr6 turbo videos, and while your at it, check out fpv f6 typhoon videos (fpv in aus was ford performance vehicles) even from factory these cars had huge power figures. I do enjoy your show, I just couldn't help myself being a ford guy :) also I have owned an 2 Ea falcons, 1 EB falcon, 1 end falcon wagon, an el falcon and now an EF Fairmont haha I have now owned at least one every e series falcon produced.

[@VisioRacer]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@jlucasound]

Oh, the Yamaha TZ 750 was (is) a 4 cylinder liquid cooled two stroke. Intended for road racing. The flattrack thing was a one off experiment.

[@guy_autordie]

The Scania V8 DC16 marine version up to 1000hp. But yes, the road version "only" up to 730hp with 3500Nm of torque. It's only beat by the Volvo I6 750hp/3550Nm. Form factory, not custom build. You can have a Tatra 10x10 with a CAT C18 (800hp if I remember well) but it's a custom build.

[@jody024]

nice variation on this list! I see your English is also improving

[@eddohan]

Wow that Ford V8(....L6 I mean) sounds fecking amazing!

[@sexymikeization]

what about a chevy stove bolt 6 ? possibly for a future episode of this. it's not an uncommon but it's a good engine and people do crazy stuff to them for racing. and unless your into old trucks most people probably haven't heard of it.

[@andredaconceicao1219]

The saab v4 sounds fantastic

[@ElZato]

SUGGESTION: The Napier Sabre H24 aero engine. Two flat-12's mounted one on top of the other powered the WW2 Hawker Typhoon and Tempest fighter-bombers.

[@TimJoseph08031990]

I didn't know there was a 9 speed transmission in a motorbike in 1966. Today, cars, crossovers, minivans, trucks, and SUVs have 9 and 10 speed automatic transmissions.

[@hesayad1055]

+Tim Joseph it had 9 gears because it had no torque im sure, now adays, thats not the reason. more so fuel economy and smoothness

[@AntonisHL]

Perhaps no one else commented about Chrysler Multibank because it is long forgotten. Personally I came across it but never search about it (I did just before). Very interesting engine, Chrysler engineers were really good.

[@iainmackenzie6379]

great vid as always!

[@123willy1000]

WOW, I LOVE THAT BLUE BIKE,,,,!!!! brings back some great times,,,

[@heavyweight8854]

the Ford gaa engine, 1100 cu dohc world's biggest mass produced v8. ford built these engines for tanks and they are just amazing. I once saw a photo of one in a fastback mustang.

[@konnichiwa7925]

Wow you are a hero for putting these videos togehter

[@VisioRacer]

Haha, thanks

[@Doug_R1]

If you havent done them already, what about a Bristol Hercules engine or a Pratt & Whitney 2800 Double Wasp?

[@bryanst.martin7134]

+Doug Peck Talk about an engine that the engineers must have had a Mech porking their daughters! The PW 2800 was a bear to work on. Especially changing cylinders. The tiny box style crows feet wrenches would continuously break. I think it had 18 nuts around the base of the cylinder so the wrench had to be really thin. Replacing intake and exhaust tubing was fairly challenging too. Adjusting the valves was a lengthy process. Compression test too. I was working on T56A-14 turbines at the same time, what a contrast! I could do a complete overhaul of a T56 in a day or so, the R2800 took a week. I miss the T56.

[@jakflintstone3081]

good to see a barra in your video, i have a vehicle that houses the turbocharged version and its a awesome engine.

[@halfnelson6115]

That 750 Suzuki was gorgeous. Great vid! I just had to subscribe. I'm on Google+ also, so I'll follow you there to. Keep the vids coming please.

[@123willy1000]

WOW, that air plain engine is a really sweet sounding engine ,,,,the bike was too,,,,,

[@taomicioli]

that scanina is 1000+ hp in marine trim, which is basically more fuel/boost(twin turbo) and the worlds largest radiator (the ocean)

[@russbilzing5348]

The GT750 was capable of far greater speed than you give it credit for. My little brother's Water Buffalo was able to do 160 mph easily and without modification.

[@andycarruthers97]

That V4 sounds great! 😎

[@mdoe8]

Check out Yamaha VMax videos. Also v4 and sound great. Honda vfr's are as well

[@noahenglish6654]

dayum

[@gavinsutherland7226]

+Sam McCloud. Dude. You probably mean GSXR1100 motor in the GSXR750 frame, hence the coveted "GSXR7/11" title. You wouldnt do it the other way round coz the 1100K and L handled like they had flat tyres. GSXR1100 engine is, of course, one of the finest engines ever made ;)this is also the reason every man and his dog has a GSXR1100 frame hanging in his garage with no engine in it and a GSXR750 engine lying on the floor. At least round our way anyway, lolz

[@sammccloud4984]

gavin sutherland nope, hew was broke and got whatever he could get his hands on

[@gavinsutherland7226]

Fair enough. I still gotta do that.

[@cameronjenkins6748]

Putting the Commer TS3 on this list was a good idea, considering that it's one of the goofiest engines to see mass production. Any chance we could get some old rotaries on these lists? I'm referring to engines like the Gnome Monosoupape and the Le Rhone 9J.

[@jp-um2fr]

'Goofy' it might be but Iv'e seen loaded 4.5 tone lorries on an incline test course and the Commer overook both the Austin and Bedford like they were sleep walking, hellish torque.

[@reaper5904]

holy crap i love that last bike with the three cylinders

[@davealexander5555]

One engine I would like to see is the Cadillac V16. Yes, they really made them, just about the time of the crash in 1929. Very smooth, would pull hard at 1000 rpm. Problem with is that the crankshaft was so long that it would flex axially to much. Some of the Bugatti engines were pretty weird. The Buick 8 was used in some buses; a friend had one. The exhaust noise was very smooth, unlike the typical V-8 which tends to be uneven. Another weird engine was the old John Deare 2 cylinder parallel. They were slow revving with huge pistons; The exhaust sound was unmistakeable: Thump, Thump, hush hush, Thump, Thump hush hush. That is what happens when you have the one piston going up while the other is going down. Most of the Honda 350 and earlier were like this, but they revved fast enough that you did not notice. A few Hondas like the earlier SuperHawk had ever firing, with both pistons going up at the same time. The British twins BSA, Triumph had the pistons moving together. In case anybody wonders why I seem to be a know-it-all, I studied engine design in Engineering school at OHIO STATE way back when. I wanted to be and engine designer, but very few job openings. Most engineers in big companies just design just one small component like a rocker arm, and that rocker arm may be used millions of engines for 20 years.

[@penguinactually]

That Brabus crankthecrapoutofittillitstarts looks like a modern Honda CRX from the back

[@miskone1044]

+PenguinActually doesn't make sense how long it took to start lol.

[@penguinactually]

I thought had the ultimate cam job or it was broken or something until it actually started

[@miskone1044]

it starts like its running super super rich but yeah ran fine when started - very strange! im surprised no one else mentioned it tbh lol.

[@cybertree]

4:50 WHAT IS THIS beautiful bit of machine? It's like a Saab muscle car! =D

[@MrFelixity_Official]

Yes , but no.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Oh. My. God. You included the Barra!

[@VisioRacer]

You asked for it!

[@MuscleCarLover]

Sure did, and you delivered. Thank you for that, I actually have the same model of Falcon wagon you featured. Want to do that engine swap one day

[@jeffentrekin4283]

awesome compilation!

[@JerryEricsson]

Guess I must be an old fart, I have driven two of those engines, the Suzuki, and the straight 8's when I was a young man, and we all drove cars made before 1950

[@austinmurdock1945]

Damn SAAB made some good looking cars

[@whalesong999]

I had a total of six SAAB 96s, '64 - '67s. They were gleaned mostly from owners who'd had some kind of mech. failure and I would do the necessities to repair, I was a motorcycle tech. Interesting that the big ends on the crank had no side thrust washers, the race was centered by the fit within the piston using very tight wrist pin fitting with thrust washers on them. Biggest problem was if the crank had bearing issues, it had to be replaced as the tooling for a rebuild was limited to bigger shops. Eventually, the cars developed severe rusting at the base of the front suspension towers and ended my involvement with them.

Wow, good stuff there! Very interesting. I 'graduated' into a '71 99 model with the Triumph engine. Quietest running motor I'd ever heard but broke a piston (I think) at just over 100k miles and, with troubled times for me, sold it off to an eager rebuilder. Liked the SAABs very much, roomy, simple, but got so expensive to buy after the gas crisis of '74. Quite a bit of history with them back in the day..;).

[@whalesong999]

Yes, I had both DKW and SAAB two stroke sedans and liked them much but was not aware of any SAAB engines being built by DKW, they had only slight resemblance to each other physically. Will have to research that. Rusting out was the killer of these sedans, I lived in N.Y where salting winter roads was heavy.

That brabus didn't want to start up easily lol

The DC16 is the world's most powerful production truck engine.

[@19chucki74]

That first car has me thinking, why don't they try to bring that back as a different model? GM has a V4 in late development, don't know if they're gonna come out with it. But that Chrysler W30? Mind blowing.

[@lelandlewis7207]

+Chalres Kirkland, a popular build way back was to chop 2 cylinders off of a Chev V8 to make a V4.

Hey VisioRacer because they make a video of cars street drag powerful , here in Argentina is the Saveiro Viturro and BMW Lucas González

[@unknownfox1994]

Hi i just wanted to know why you Didn't include the "Barra inline 6 turbo?" Its in the ford Xr6 turbo's they make lots more power. then the N/A ones you shown. it DOHC Straight 6 4.0L turbo. Nice videos :)

[@getz051]

The V4 used in the Saab was actually a Ford V4 engine same used in the Transit van and very early Capri, The Barra is only a 6 cylinder engine and not in a V8, the modular v8's intech name is triton and NOT Barra

[@highlander7771]

05:07 the most beautiful saab i ever saw.

[@VisioRacer]

Saab Sonett III :)

[@highlander7771]

+VisioRacer first saw it on your video, nice work, must take you a lot of research

[@VisioRacer]

Yeah

[@sausageslaps]

the Chrysler tank engine is not really a 30 cylinder as they say, its 5 6 cylinder engines sharing a crankcase and the 5 cranks are connected driving a common output shaft.

[@fromthenorth2]

That Chrysler A57 is so cool :D

[@labrat7357]

I don't know if I like the idea of a Griffon 36.7 litre V12 engine with propellers fitted onto a light trailer with wheels. It may be on two little legs but this engine used to launch aircraft into the sky.
