Best 8 cylinder engine in the world

[gmonkey]

the euros do the best v8s easily... i just dont get how a 6ltr v8 can only produce a meer 300kw.. when an audi v8 FSi can produce 309kw :P yes its 9kw more but its also 1.8 liters smaller.. thats a whole b18 smaller :P. and the ls2 will never be better than a 5.7 hemi (290kw) from the yanks just for the pure fact its a hemi..

2 bseries or kseries engine welded together will work a treat lol...

there's too many restrictions for the ozzy market. the 6L motor has great potential, my mate has a VE SS with cold air intake, extractors, full exhaust and bigger cam and it made 309kw atw! Same mods on my cousins 5.7L made 283kw atw.

Hemi motors are tuff and powerfull but so can the Chevs.

C63 AMG 6.2l is just unreal, lots of power and torque, it sh#ts all over LS engines, the other fully sick V8 is new M3s powerplant, 4.0l revs to 8500rpm

Nice, but those engines would need a rebuild every few ten's of thousands km. Unlike the C63 AMG's engine, which is actually detuned from the original!

hate to break to you all but to be quite honest this is how it works.

best V8 for economy, reliability and street power definatly OHC

best V8 for ALL OUT POWER Push Rod.
name a TOP FUEL Drag car with a OHC Making 8000hp????????
Funny cars ETC all rev beyond 10,000rpm and there push rod

It is not the head that determines the max RPM.

8000hp comes from running a supercharger at 45 psi and nitromethane. Don't compare them to a street car running 98 octane. haha.

the OP doesn't ask for best street car engine it jusy says best v8 engine in the world

[ek4-guy]

you can't go past a Keith Black Hemi as i'm sure i already mentioned in this thread a year or 2 ago lol

[gmonkey]

just re-thought my answer due to its not just road legal engines all of a sudden.. and i believe it's by far got to be the Honda RA806E 90-degree V8

At how many rpm does it make this horsepower? How much torque does it make and at what rpm? How much does one of these engines cost? How much more accurate is the air fuel ratio due to FSI? How much would it cost to fix? How much would it cost to modify (if you could modify it assuming you may want to modify it one day)?

Don't forget there's more than one number to look at when you're talking about how good an engine is.

If there was a bang for buck competition. I reckon the ls engines would win hands down.
