I got my monthly AEI Powertrain Tech newsletter today and there was an article on Mahle's new 1.2L boosted gas engine. I didn't know how many of you guys get SAE stuff so I figured I would post it for all to read. Its a pretty interesting engine; there aren't too many revolutionary individual parts, but all combined they are claiming to get 160hp/L with reduced emissions and higher efficiency.
The most interesting part for me was that the valves are actually formed sheet metal which besides reducing weight also has helped them attain higher possible burn temperatures. Anyways, here's the article (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) : Mahle Technologies Boost Engine Efficiency |

Wait, so this thing is going to have 190hp AND be lighter all around? I could see myself doing the 3 cylinder conversion... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/brain.gif)
