W-9 engine
Hi peeps. I know I've been absent for forever and a week. Just thought I'd post something I ran across. I bet many of you would get a kick out of this.
Some crazy Swede made a W-9 engine as part of an engine-designing project. I was expecting something a lot more complicated than this, but it actually is a lot simpler and probably more durable than I was expecting...

Look for the tri-turbo power projection for this puppy. I was expecting to see a lot more torque, but... what can you do? Interesting is the least I can say about it.

I like this line: Only 36 valves to adjust.

A 3.0 liter N/A engine making 526 horsepower? Sign me up!
Though it doesn't hit that power peak until 10,700 rpm, with a redline at 12,500. Maybe a little peaky. Might be a nice engine to drop into an NSX while keeping the NSX's character.
