Working scaled down model V8 engines. With Video. - The Ford Focus Forum

As usual... did a search. Put in all the key words and didnt find a thing. I would be suprised if this wasn't a repost.

These things are absolutely AMAZING. I bet one of those would be 25-50k to buy. That guy must be one hell of a machinest.

**goldse** · 07-07-2007, 01:35 AM

Could you immagine putting one of those on a go-kart ?? WOOO-HOOOO !!

**BUR_ZX3** · 07-07-2007, 02:44 AM

Theres another video of that blown engine somewhere on here... but this vid I haven't seen. Love how the exhaust note is virtually identical!

Can we get a scaled down Focus 4 banger?

**UselessKnowledge** · 07-07-2007, 05:52 AM

They have been posted before, but the supercharged one in the middle of the clip is new.

**Dubzilla** · 07-07-2007, 01:48 PM

it just seems so sad that there's no drivetrain/car to go with it.

**SaxManZX3** · 07-07-2007, 07:22 PM

I wonder what kind of power they actually make?

**CrUziN4L** · 07-07-2007, 07:27 PM

wow, i want one in a lil replica 67 Mustang....like the one we saw at Carisle (think the guy bought it from Nordstrom)

These engines are actually not extremely expensive...think hobby money, like RC car type $. I did a bunch of research on them a while ago. Just like a real motor, you can make mods to them and everything. There are roots blowers kits with real working rotors, tiny little con-rods and pistons, you can buy stroker cranks for them and everything. Different cams produce different lopes. I'll see if I can find the website for the place in stockton. They are only like 20 minutes from my house...

Here's a good picture - check out the detail

Website

EDIT: link works now...I'm an idiot

Have any of these ever been attached to something and made it move? Would love to see one of these on a Gokart or some kind of small scale R/C or something. That would be even sweeter.
