new bmw TT v8
 

So many awesome little things about this engine it boggles my mind.

i want one in an rx-7 :D or a go kart :seeya:

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

It is interesting, I'll give it that.

Intercoolers look small.

Direct injection is cool.

Vband style turbo flange is nice.

Reverse flow from almost all other V platforms is cool.

Throttle by wire I do not like.

Too bad the rest of the car will fall apart, and the car will depreciate 50% in 3 years.

I don't know if I've ever seen the turbos mounted on top of a V motor like that, I love it! Direct injection, COP, what kind of displacement is this thing going to have? Looks freaking wicked!

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Very cool. I wonder what will happen with the massive amount of heat being generated between the heads.

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

that is cool
you can also do that to a sbc or a sbf.

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Yup, I was wondering the same. The hood/paint seems like it could have issues with that kind of heat as well. Then when crazy people like us start bolting up larger turbos making more heat.. abusing it more.. it just seems like it could have many side effects sitting up top.

screw it, just put a hole in the hood!

lil bit of air-2-water action

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

sexy!

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

<--Loves the new twin turbo setup on the v8 as well as the I6 twin turbo engine.

Floppy, you fucking rock :)

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Air to water seems like a pain in the ass. Not to mention the limitations on cooling with higher boost, or larger turbos. I guess it's ok for OEM, they will just tune the thing so friggin safe it will have a lot left for people who fix the shortcomings and tune it a bit more aggressively.

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Water to air intercooling if setup right is better then some big fmic, I wonder what its going in, M3?

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

My guess is that it'll go in the M5. Looks pretty sweet. Any ideas how much power it'll make?

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Its going in the X6 SUV first i believe.

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Ever seen under the hood of a Buick Grand National? Heat shields worked great back then and I am sure with the advancements in composites and different coatings there wont be an issue now.

Re: new bmw TT v8
 

Yeah, I have, but it isn't like this where everything is sitting inside the "V" and directing heat like a heater. I wouldn't doubt we see ten year old, high end bimmers with horrible hood paint issues.

just line the engine bay with gold, like the McLaren F1!
