FIAT X1/9 Ferrari Engine Head || ONBOARD 690Kg Monster

[@Johnwalter1044]

Every time i see these regular old cars, being turned into mad machines, i just want to go back in time, and show these videos to the designers and engineers. And watch their jaws drop.

[@sayan1667]

Marcello Gandini is still alive and so is Gianpaolo Dallara ;)

[@delahayenator]

Checkout what racing X1/9s and other racecars Dallara engineered and produced will probably make your own jaw drop. And the designer, Gandini also designed the Lamborghini Miura and Countach among others, so don’t think their jaws will drop too quickly ;)

[@bacquivaguidelava]

I think the reason why their jaws will drop is because of the fact that you time traveled, and smartphone

The “Ferrari” Head is most likely a Romeo Ferrari Head, bespoke for Fiat SOHC. Pretty skilled driver on a fast car!

[@papopleto]

Whaat, until what year did Ferrari use SOHC engines? I just can't imagine that after hearing all those high reving high hp Ferrari engines

When creating Frankenstein engines , the key to block and head "marriage" is usually bore spacing (also called bore pitch). Match the original Lampredi bore pitch with a V8 Ferrari family and you'll know where this is from. Alternatively it may be a Romeo Ferraris head.

[@AccAkut1987]

many people would be surprised which combinations are possible. BMW bike heads on original Mini engine block, Audi RS2 head on inline-5 TDI block, ... overall anything VAG is like Lego, Kronenburg Motorsport had a package building inline-5s from TT-RS/RS3 blocks with Lambo V10 heads, older MkII Golf blocks could run much later 5 valve heads etc etc

[@johnbrennan8611]

You know what gearbox he's using? Because coming off the hairpin @ 1:51 I count 6 gears. The few X1/9's that run track days & autocross' here on the east coast of USA are all 4 or 5 speeds. And alotta people may think 280hp isn't a lot but you gotta remember that the car never came with more that 84hp lol.

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

Suspension has to be incredibly stiff to control changes in geometry due to old designs. Only after wishbones and multilink assemblies started getting used were we able to effectively use the full suspension travel while maintaining a consistent tire contact patch.

[@ulisesavila2879]

Stock x19 drive better than stock mk1 MR2. Suspensión geometry was good enough for the almost 20 years span of selling this units.

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

What I said in my original comment was referencing the old suspension styles that only use two pivot points ie trailing arms, mcpherson struts with no control over geometry changes over the range of travel. The “weissach axle” made an attempt to control the toe change causing oversteer in early trailing arm 911’s. These wild changes in geometry are why the early 911 chassis are so “lively”. Changing the rubber pivot bushings can for a harder rubber, delrin, or a spherical bearing can help quite a bit. The later cars (993 and on with multi link suspension) are quite a bit easier to manage (especially on corner entry trail braking to the apex) which is why they’re more competent…you fight the car less. This suspension design compromise is precisely why the cayman platform is held back. With wishbones up front along with the 911’s multi-link rear suspension, the cayman/boxster platform would…slay the 911. I hate to say it, because I LOVE the 911 design.

[@paladino444]

It's the way we have always named/called a car. Stop and think Lotus has not designed or built an engine in 20 years and yet we call them Lotus not Toyota. So drop your bias against FIAT. I've owned and worked on my own Fiat's as a youth and I can tell you that FIAT decisions on design and parts manufacturing were not the demise of FIAT, it was the dozen or so endless auto labor strikes in the '70s that destroyed the reputation of FIAT as thousands of FIATS for export where made being sabotaged by implanted communist labor unions idiots or units stopped 1/3 built and abandoned/restarted 3 months later on the line. Italians know how to design cars, build cars, race cars but the one things don't like to do is work for a living and take pride in their work... not so much [circa the 60-80s].
