Those are injectors.


I agree w/ ra88it, the reverse setup is pretty sick lookin'. Good concept as it puts the IC and intake parts in front where cool air is coming in and the exhaust parts on top/toward the back (where a reverse cowl could really do some good).

That thing isn't going to work so well with no cylinder walls.

And next to those are either coil-on-plug setups, or really weird glowplugs that look a hell of a lot like long-reach spark plugs.

considering the motor has zero valves from what I can see.... Doesnt look like a gas motor to me, but more of an oil burner.

But, I didnt design it. As such, could be wrong.

The pistons have valve reliefs. However, I too did not design that motor.

Mmmmmm, :drool: N64

A little over 400hp for the X6 (restricted), but put down 500hp on the bench. It will probably find it's way into some other platforms down the road.
