The Oldsmobile Jetfire sounds like a toolbox falling down a lift shaft!😂
Exhaust leak
That was amazing! Thanks for the video! Love videos like this!
that olds jetfire has either got bent pushrods, leaking/bent intake valves or crosswired, it's misfiring and coughing back thru the intake. It is sick.
The Oldsmobile turbo sounds like it is on it's last leg!!
"Good Stuff" :O) Thanks
no2 is a very sick sounding v8.
I completely agree with The Angry Economist! The radial engine put in a wooden rimmed car is awesome. The G-Forces in the cylinders has me wondering about all the problems the designers must have incurred with fuel delivery and lubrication. This was before fuel injection and pressurized fuel. I see the carburetor is working off the crank, but the fuel still had to get into the top end. That car is a museum piece. It is great to see it running at shows instead of just sitting in one spot!
Strange exhaust jury rig on the Olds.
V864 was in development when my grandfather was still at GM, he said they called it the 8640 because the engine would die a lot and the gearing was such that it was constantly switching between 6 and 4 cylinders on the highway.
You owe it to yourself to veiw these docs. There amazing and cool.😎
Finally a video that shows us mostly what it says is on there!
I'm not sure the VW W8 should be on here but well done on the BRM (as I was writing the W8 should be substituted with the BRM H16, it came on lol)
3:30 Forget the rod. When it go bad. It throw the whole engine.
Check out the Honda NR750 V4 motorcycle engine. Oval pistons, ceramic coated cylinder walls, 32 valves.
That outro music on point
The Lancia Delta S4 engine was pretty complicated, at least externally.
4:51 that's clever... running a turbo without oil supply! xD
MikeVonDoom. Seen that, nothing coming out of the oil drain.
MikeVonDoom seriously
the radial engine is truly beautiful, everything is moving!
Imagnie the vibrations needed to compromise...
this is not a "radial" but a rotary engine like Gnome: was very common on WW1 aircrafts (Wankels ARE NOT rotary engines, only rotary PISTON engines).Rotary engines looks complicated but are very simple...
leneanderthalien wankels dont have pistons
You should perhaps learn what you are talking about before making an ass of yourself.
mj ee who are talking about
The w8 engine is a beast too bad vw couldn't make a transmission capable of handling the stock torque.
I was not prepared for that radial engine to start spinning. Goddamn
Its not a radial: its a rotary and there is a big difference.
haven't seen all of your video.... but i hope you have '73 Lamborghini Espada .
holy crap.
The BRM going full tilt on the track cannot be matched for sound. Maybe a high comp L28, but I think that is a close second.
first thing i thought of was the VW W8. was not disappointed.
I really liked the thumb nail. (Cuz its a rocket engine)
Turbo rocket fluid !! hell yea, i like the name of that stuff
That Caddy V8-6-4 was an instant disaster, with many owners abandoning the make for good. A similar emissions/fuel economy disaster was the Chrysler Lean Burn system.
I had a 400 lean burn. I think my first computer was sort of fragged. The second junkyard computer made it run better. The first one had 2 running modes, bog down or launch. Honda got cylinder deactivation working, but I think it's only used on vans.
@car news tv.. check out the duke engine developed in New Zealand.. Made in New zealand in the south island
What engine is in that car
Me:it’s complicated
That´s why i love Rotax... simplicity... Hehehe
That Adams Farwell was typical of the first radial aircraft engines. The crank was stationary and the prop bolted to the engine.
The funny thing there are at least one concept engine that pretty much adaopts this principle yet the engine block doesn´t spin exposed under the hood, rather does feature the block for the cylinders inside of an outer block and it´s called "circle engine" in one video at least.
the original (french origin) name from this engine type was "moteur rotatif"= rotary engine (for info:a wankel IS NOT a rotary engine, but only a rotary PISTON engine: "rotary" was the name give by Mazda who find this more "sexy" as Wankel"...)
lol... that thing is a piece of shit
@ Lawrence Farwell - In aircraft applications during WWI, the rotary engines typically had not throttle. They were wide open all the time! To slow, the ignition was switched off! The rotating cylinders acted like a large flywheel allowing the engine to slowly wind down. During landing a pilot would blip the ignition on and off. The downside of the large rotating mass was it acted as a gyroscope and in aircraft like the Camel, could cause tricky, often fatal results for the novice pilot. But for the ace, this was an outstanding fighter aircraft.
It looks as though the rotation of the engine acted as a distributor as a spark is clearly visible between the engine and a HT feed. If you pause the video at2.30 just before the engine starts you can see the plugs and a ht lead which picks up the spark from the dark red item at the top. Fascinating engine.
I really wouldn't say the Jetfire engine was complicated at all. The engine was later sold to Rover and used in the defender
That Olds Jetfire sounds like a sewing machine!
some aircrafts engines was much more complicated, like the Napier Sabre 24cyl in H , a sleeve valve engine...
The rotating one looked dangerous as hell .
hp and torque specs below. the vids would of been nice....terrific vid either way
Shit. All this video needed was footage of each of these GOING THROUGH THE GEARS, and it would have been something worthwhile.
That Porche/ Volkswagen engine hardly seems worth the effort that went into it.
Re: The Cadillac
These cars were released with some electronic bugs still there. One was the predilection for the engine to die while driving. Four old ladies (some my relatives) were driving in the Sierras when this happened (again) and the driver could not get it started. She lost power steering and brakes. After side-swiping the apex of several corners she went flying off of the next corner and plunged a little less than 2,000 feet. One of the ladies lived over it, but she already had terminal cancer. Yes, the owner knew about the problem but had taken it in again and again to the dealer. They told her it was fixed. I imagine she didn't foresee the danger of taking friends out in it. They were missing for days but a friend took some relatives up in a small plane and found the car that the authorities could not. Subsequent examination showed her path as she tried to make it around each corner at an ever increasing speed.
I'm sorry to hear that. Can't imagine how frightening that must have been :(
Those engines were pure junk, my dad had one the crankshaft broke!
Lol when you wanna swap an rs-25 rocket 😂
Good video but you should know, unless the cylinders aren't arranged in a v shape an engine can't be a v engine, for example a straight 6 can't be a v6 because the cylinders are in a line. Some of those "v16s" weren't v16s because the cylinders weren't in a v shape.
The Olds Jetfire has a dead cylinder, not to mention a horrific knock upon startup. I have"built" dozens of these engines, and this one is not a good example. I predict a rod through the side of the [aluminum] block in 3...2...1...
back in about 1970-71...a friend of mine had one on these1962 Jet-Fires...ran pretty good...until his garage burned down with the car in it.....
Yes, it was quite a sick engine.
An engine is a radial or a rotary. It can't be both. This engine is a rotary engine not a radial. Interesting collection.
In Reversal Russia, the crankshaft rotates the engine block.
Istoeumapemba best comment ever.. haha
the guy in charge of the v16 throttle has no clue about engines ,
That last car sounds soooo mean
I was unaware the space shuttle was classed as a 'car'.
VW are my specialty
The Cizeta V16 didn't have the transmission between the two sections of the engine, the drive was simply taken from the center of the engine, which is also something that Chrysler tried with the IV-2220 in the '40s. The transmission was behind the engine in the V16T.
Also, the BRM H-16 was a 3.0 liter, not a 1.5 liter and it was not supercharged. I always read that it was 1.5 liters and supercharged too, but that was wrong and I'm not sure who started that rumor.
The one used in 1966-1967 was a 3 litre, but there was also a supercharged V16, used in previous era F1.
You forgot the pentastar v6
Is it me or you took the engine of a rocket for your thumbnail?
That first example of the turbo Oldsmobile sounds like a sad joke!
What is between the Olds and the Caddy?
Vw w8 rare :D
Toyota had a 4 cylinder engine in 89 that was the most complicated pos ever it had a vacuum feedback side draft carb that looked like alien technology and was impossible to tune like seriously.
2:30 JEEZUS.....what in the hell is THIS Widow-Maker? My God....
Shoulda been called the "Adams-FAREWELL" ...as in, you pop the hood while it's running, and you can say FAREWELL to your fingers, hands, and arms (face too, if yer not careful).
Seems like a lot of turbos that aren't connected.
I wonder why GM didn't come to the conclusion that a smaller engine, IE less cylinders could have worked out too?^^
The Oldsmobile was running on 5 cylinders
F1 engine 1.6 turbo hybrid hehehe
Germán Silva bllllprter mrrrrrrr blp
stationary crankshaft engines are so cool.
some motorcycles from this era used stationary crank radial engines mounted inside the wheel. crazy
The right name from this engines was "moteur rotatif (rotary engine)..the first rotary 5cyl radial engine was installed in the rear wheel from a motorcycle, the 1893 Felix Millet.The rotary engines , most based on Gnome technology (most known was the french Gnome,Le Rhone,Cleget...) was very common on aircrafts up to end WW1 because was light and had a good cooling even at ground, but over 200hp was the gyroscopic effect to high and make the aircrafts uncontrolable.The improving from classic engines like the excellent 300hp 1916 Renault Fe V12 ,vater cooled, installed in the Breguet XIV sign the end from the rotary...
Interesting vid, but thumbsdown given for the clickbait thumbnail
The Auto Union V-16 is a 6 LITRE engine
Well, they started with a V16 4.4 litre in the Type A in 1934, increased to 5 litres for Type B in 1935, and finally increased to 6 litres for Type C in 1936-37. But sure, none of that is 3 litres (the V12 Type D was), and the one in the video is a 6 litre Type C.
I belive 3 liters is the size of the supercharger
I believe the moon is made of cheese
When did an RS-25 rocket engine get put in a car? The thumbnail is a lie!
Shame the guy videoing the BRM engine didn't hold his phone correctly, so that the video would be 16:9 instead of 9:16
? 1930 Daimler double sleeve valve V12 ?
Nice. Ran better the more carboned up it got. I want to include the early '50s Trojan light truck engine, but it's too complicated to describe fully here. V6 type, with staggered 4 on one side with alloy head, and 2 air pump cyls on the other side with iron head. 2 stroke s/charged. The most gutless vehicle I've owned.
the BRM isnt really a V16, its an H16 engine consisting of 2 flat 8 on top of each other
Børre Børresen he says that...
BRM made a H16 and a V16; the text made that clear. In his autobiography, Wally Hassan describes designing the H16; two flat-8s joined by a gear; it had a quill shaft taking the drive to the gearbox from the gear mid-way along the two crankshafts. It was abandoned by BRM when the rules changed allowing bigger engines to be built. The V16 was a 1.5 litre engine - tiny cylinders, very short stroke, very high revving. The H16 was a 3 litre engine.
Google: Bagheera u8 engine
Yeah that was something. Only made one I think. Two at most.
LOL not even close to the most complicated car engines, at least 2 in this list could even be classified as extremely simply
15hrs to time an engine = unemployed.
Yup, 15 hours labour plue the rest at your local VW franchise is going to hurt
out of curiosity..., wouldn't the rotating engine cause strange gyroscopic effects? you know like when you hold a bicycle wheel in your hands, spin it, and then try to move it around.
Yes. Here, given the orientation of the engine, if the engine is heavy enough to make a difference, the car will turn better on one side than the other, and pitch/roll movements will trigger gyroscopic precession. Fun.
To: flashpeter625
Thanks for responding. i can just imagine it, the driver would always need to suss out his turn before even arriving at it. here's anther thought, what if the engine were mounted vertically instead of horizontally. that might counter the odd steering issue, but perhaps raise new ones... like maybe making it hard to steer at all... :-D
At this horizontal orientation, the driver could actually theoretically help the car into a corner by revving up or down, and by that using the engine as a flywheel to transfer a moment, rotating the vehicle in the desired direction.
If mounted vertically, you would get the effects known from airplanes. Very weird yaw motion due to gyroscopic effects, which could be really odd in a car indeed; you try to turn and the car wants to move in a perpedicular direction instead... And the engine would act as a flywheel for roll motion, so it would like to lean to one side more than the other, also depending on the immediate change in revs. That already happens to a small extent in cars with longitudinally mounted engines, where the various rotating masses in the engine act as a flywheel and gyroscope. When revved up, the car rolls a bit.
It was actually recently a topic in racing car engineering. With hybrids cars, almost everybody now uses electrical systems to store energy, but in the beginning, several racing cars used a high-rpm flywheel instead. They were genuinly thinking through the inertial and gyroscopic effects to prevent it screwing up the car's handling. The orientation of that spinning mass was the main concern, I think Porsche used two vertically mounted flywheels spinning in the opposite directions in a hybrid 911.
I remember reading something a while back that norton had handling problems in there early prototype bikes in that they wouldn't lean over easily due to the gyroscopics created by running a wankel engine. They then mounted them at 90 degrees to counter this.
I believe it wa notron but could be wrong
Rufo Rufo no offense but who does that
Sixteen slugs to displace a measly three liters? That's an awful lot of power loss to valve train and bearing drag for a motor that size.
Russ G it's a trade off to improve engine response and increase max rpm. Increased cylinders with lower individual reciprocating mass loads per cylinder allows it to survive much higher RPMs. The problem with this type of motor is the have no grunt in the bottom end.
reving an engine with out it being under load is dangerous
Had an Eldo with the V8-6-4 - utter garbage. Highway driving was a nightmare as you typically had to wait for half the engine to start running again to pass or change lanes.
Not to mention needing to add a quart of oil every two hundred miles or so.
Oldsmobile put the turbo right on the Carburator ?? WTF
No, the carburetor was attached to the turbo as was the Corvair's.
@@timhammett2302 Carter YL? Maybe the same carb? It was really a glorious effort, tho the BOP 215 had some weaknesses. It took the Rover guys in UK to get it right. Also the only US production BASED engine to race in F1. Did it win a race? (Aussie Repco V8)
Calling the VW engine a W8 is not correct. It should be called a double V. A true W engine has 3 cylinder blocks (picture an additional block between a normal V-8) and would have 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 etc cylinders.
Though VW, Audi and Bentley call them 'W' engines you are quite correct.
You're right Tom, a W8 is the Napier Lion aero engine of WW1. Anyway, the Narrow V engine was first used by Lancia in the 1920's from V4 to V12's.
@Tom Christman, interestingly, in french "W" is literally "double-V". So if VW was French, it would be literally correct. But they aren't. So you're still right.
anyone else mistake this for a visioracer video?
only realized it wasnt when i read your comment
I think Bubba Wallace should be charged at least $100,000 for pulling us trying to pull a slick move like that trying to pull a spin-off like they saw what's happening they know what's going on and take away some more points
Who's the idiot with the Red Olds Jetfire? Cars like that should have owners who know what they are doing under the hood... How bout getting running on all 8 for starters?
What exactly to you is "complicated"? Do you even own a car?
А где русские дизеля,?
When the day arrives and it isn't that far away now when electric cars take over these motors will become like the steam engines , something to admire but by god the effort to keep them going as well as maintaining them something that we now think is normal and we will look back a changing oils in motors and dumping it as a insane waste of a resource .
?
These engines aren't anything compared to my blown, injected non-polluting 2-stroke with air cooled pistons. My engine isn't like any you have ever seen , it has two intake manifolds.
Germans are famous for over complicated designs.
rarest turd oh the world
😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
1:08. Sounds like shit!!!.2:08 The worst engine next to the Norstar!.
