16.5k rpm is crazy, seeing fuel being sprayed like no ones business is crazy.

[iamaelephant]

Thats amazing...

 

[imported_bum]

very cool, I want one

 

[Cristatus]

Is there a direct link? It doesn't seem to work for me.

edit:got it to work.

Why is the fuel being sprayed from over the top? Is that normal? I thought in (road going) cars it was sprayed directly into the piston chamber (note: I don't know much of the mechanics of an engine).

 

[probzy]

One word. WOW.

 

[Lonyo]

They can do 19k rpm I think, so 16.5k isn't crazy
Ah, 2004.

 

[HigherGround]

Nice, they were testing the engine for Monza.

most fuel injected engines, the fuel is injected into the intake ports or intake manifold

only some new direct injected engines spray directly into the cylinder (Audi's FSI..i think BMW has the technology too...some Nissan engines in Japan), It requires a much higher fuel pressure and more precise injectors

Man, that was...... what's the word I'm looking for??

Oh, CRAZY

 

[Safeway]
