[quote=“Killrob”]I still don’t know why people are so obsessed by this building the most powerful engine, as there is only a single option (which makes it a boring task). The 1862hp (1388.7 kW) are the highest possible indeed.
How about something a bit less one-dimensional? Build me the longest life 1000hp+ engine you can, for example. [/quote]
I’m too lazy to take a screenie, but I managed 3308bhp in the first V8 type. Didn’t try the second type of V8 in automation but sometimes it will give a couple of extra bhp
Little hint, for maximum power do NOT use aluminum heads, use cast iron and use the Flatplane V8. Also I am at 3328hp and 2506lb/ft (3397 metric newton thingies). The aluminum heads take off a few HP (about 20ish in this case). Also this was an old thread that got resurrected, as said these were done way before turbos came out.
Three year mega bump! Why did you feel the need to post in such an old place? Also… clearly the guys didn’t have turbos in 2012… now you can easily get over 3300hp
