Is the crank a flat plane configuration? I am guessing it is. I know it is being used in the indy racing league. I have driven a Q45 and the engine is very much like driving my Nissan Micra 1.3L. The link describes the difference between Cross plane and flat plane V8's. http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/lancia/58/technical_school/engine/smo oth4.htm Regards Trev -----Original Message----- From: FJ510 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 14 November 2001 20:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Boost vs Cubic inches there are quad cam v8's think 4.5L toyota, think nissan, think new mustang. pretty sure they have OHC. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Marmont" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 12:17 PM Subject: RE: Boost vs Cubic inches > i am well aware of this > but another thing to remember is that v8s use 1950s technology. they still use push rods for fucks sake! if a manufacturer made a well balanced 3 liter v8, using quad cams and 4 or 5 valves per cylinder, that would change the whole equation and put out the same if not more power. torque may be down a bit, but nothing forced induction cant fix!!! > > -----Original Message----- > From: James Cox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, 14 November 2001 2:52 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Boost vs Cubic inches > > > Gentlemen, > > I enjoy seeing a L20B beat a V8 off the lights as much as anyone else but > you must remember we are talking a highly modified L20B vs a fairly stock > V8.
