Member Contributer adeyren Posted July 15, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted July 15, 2016 Was sent this. The comment was Went over to this gents house to see this bike he's been building. The engine is built from two Honda VFR750 engines spliced together to form a V8 displacing ~1500cc, it runs on nitro and has a roots-type supercharger. During our visit he offered to fire it up for us. It sounds positively ferocious! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhenley17 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Supercharged nitro V8 VFR. Don't know how fast it is, but still the coolest drag bike I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted July 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2016 OK unless I'm missing something it does not appear to have a cooling circuit ! I can see an expansion tank but NO rads ! One idea I've had for ages would be to build 3 x VFR800's into a V12 aero engine ! If tuned to 130hp each at the crank, then combined normally aspirated it should be a 400hp motor, now with super/turbo charging, that would rise to MAX power of around 550hp or maybe a bit more ! From an engine that weighs in around 150Kg or less. It would be great for a 1/2 or 2/3 scale Warbird engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
