hello everyone, as you can tell from my subject my house must be a lunatic asylum
...its not even me wanting to do a v12 project but im considering a rival v12 project to my brothers - dont ask...
to explain the story:
my brother wants to make a kit car which is influenced by the autounion slipstream/streamliner which has a v16/v12.
anyway, the other idiot in the family is considering building a complete engine, to which i told him to stop being a tard - too much work developing blah blah getting it right never mind actually getting it to run AND building a bodyshell/chassis etc for it
anyway, my arguement is use existing engines such as the jaguar xjs v12 lump and work from there, anyway i had a thought, if my brother wanted to "build" a V12 then why not start off with two omega 6cyl straight 6's and take off the crankcase and get a different crank, turn round 180 degrees one of the heads so both exhaust manifolds are on the outside of the engine, run both engine managements parallel per engine and just put all the injectors etc opposite on the head which is 180 degrees then you can have a twin turbo v12
or even run it without a turbo or do whatever
thanks
alex
p.s if anybody can suggest a "roughly 3.0 V12 engine" lol then go ahead!
