Probably has almost as much horsepower as a wornout 1.7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

QUOTE(914itis @ Jul 9 2017, 07:46 AM) That's affordable but it's 1/4 scale. Initial video is of a 1/3 scale engine , sounds different. Thanks for sharing |

I am absolutely sure that the 1/3 scale is an actual gasoline engine and the 1/4 scale is a plastic model. There is a Modelers Museum in Carlsbad CA that the owner of Sherline small machine tools has and there are several running small scale motors. Simply awesome work to build one. There is a small block Chevy kit that can be purchased, do some machine work and assemble but I do not now of a Porsche Flat six kit. I would get one if there was.
Here is the text from the youtube video "Published on Mar 29, 2015 This afternoon I've witnessed something very very special. A Dutch Porsche driver, and precision instrument maker, has build (more than 40 years ago) a Porsche 911 engine, scale 1:3. Not as a static, but as a WORKING model. He has build everything by hand, working from the original factory drawings. " |

Yup, their different.
One is a cool plastic model, the other is an incredible metal functioning combustion engine. |

So just to be clear, the engine in the video is a real gasoline powered motor that was hand built and a one of a kind project. The $200 model is a plastic replica that is available for sale?
