[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] May I be allowed to submit the quintessential American racing engine? The Miller.
This engine and its variants raced successfully at Indy and scores of dirt and board tracks
for 60 years.
IMHO the founding fathers of Hot Rodding in southern Calif. stood on the
shoulders of Miller, Goossen, Offenhauser and others to create the hobby we
all enjoy.

Honda Racing has had some great accomplishments. The RC 166 is one of my favorites. 6 cylinder, 250cc, 41x31mm bore and stroke, 60 hp @ 18,000 rpm and a 7 speed gearbox. Pretty cool.

Amazing performance considering the quality of their pre war aluminum was equivalent to modern lawn furniture.
I had the privilege of watching one run @ Laguna Seca, unfortunately the driver (museum director) did two laps at a fast idle and parked it.
Conversely when MBZ brought over a W196 (W163?) and a SLR, the likes of Fangio and Moss were allowed to put the boot to them...priceless.

As i had a Fiat 131 for my 1st and 2nd car. Also had a 130 Abarth Strada, 128 3P and a X19 with Lancia 2Ltr twin cam in it. I still have a soft spot for the Fiat twin cam.

Hideo "Pop's " Yoshimura.
Pops build a Suzuki engine/bike/frame within a hundred days, and they (Wess Cooley) wheelied with engine problems just for pleasing the crowd thru the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Another example of too much motor and not enough chassis. Even the great marque Bugatti found
that intuition could not compete with engineering.

I love to reference these motors when fellow motor heads start boasting about their favorites. 1500 bhp from a 1500cc (91 cid) stock block (steel)
is still hard to beat even for a AA/FD, which survives seconds versus minutes. Not to be ignored, Honda produced hp figures in qualifying trim close if
not equal to BMW.

The Alfetta 1.5 grand prix straight 8 was the pre-cursor to the "turbo era" orbital hp #'s... unreal for its era, and long stroke/rods. I cringe thinking of piston speed and cylinder pressure of that little monster. |

Amazing performances have been coaxed out of those rotary engines, but holy crap they have to be one of the least pleasing-to-the-ear types of noises ever! Lol. Still, amazing times have been turned out by rotary-equipped cars.

Yes, it was based on a road engine but all the parts was special made to be able to take up to 5 bar (70psi) of boost in qualification mode. Here is a dyno paper at "only" 3 bar of boost: [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] It also helped that it was runing on toulene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TolueneToluene can be used as an octane booster in gasoline fuels used in internal combustion engines. Toluene at 86% by volume fueled all the turbo Formula 1 teams in the 1980s, first pioneered by the Honda team. The remaining 14% was a "filler" of n-heptane, to reduce the octane to meet Formula 1 fuel restrictions. Toluene at 100% can be used as a fuel for both two-stroke and four-stroke engines; however, due to the density of the fuel and other factors, the fuel does not vaporize easily unless preheated to 70 degrees Celsius (Honda accomplished this in their Formula 1 cars by routing the fuel lines through the muffler system to heat the fuel). Toluene also poses similar problems as alcohol fuels, as it eats through standard rubber fuel lines and has no lubricating properties, as standard gasoline does,[citation needed] which can break down fuel pumps and cause upper cylinder bore wear.
