Theres only one crankshaft...
Here this is the best pisture I've found that shows how a W engine is set up

so they do cross, just with one crankshaft, right?

Yeah... I thought it was TT but when I checked the website it doesn't say... But I don't think it is.Originally Posted by aNOBLEman
Unless I'm mistaken the Ultima GTR720 is normally aspirated. I think that you meant to say the Venom 1000 Viper.
And yes the turboes used on the Venow are pretty large.
Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.

No. It's 2 narrow V 8 cylinder engines tilted joined by a single crankshaft. The red square contains one of the V8s. And both form the W engine.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.

ok, so their just really thin, it looks like they cross the way they are setup

Yes, it's the VW VR engine setup. Narrow (15degree IIRC) angle block with offest bores and a single head covering both banks. In that pic of the W12 you can see it really well.

thanks for clearing that up. Sorry about the slow learning haha

You're always wrong...damn.
It's "turbos".
And it's "it's"...not its.

It doesn't own it so its is correct.

Don't question me.
IT'S = it is
ITS= ownership
Trust me, I'm smarter than you.
Enthusiast
's is for denotation of ownership.
Smart arse, not smarter

I have education backing my thoughts...what have you got?
You have the internet at your fingertips but yet you continue to GUESS at the correct answer. Go look it up...then come back and kiss my feet.

ITS = ownership
Why oh why to people second guess "What".

Regards the engine's "efficiency" - I'd bet the service intervals & maintenance requirements are much more liveable for what is, in essence, an overblown Golf engine, rather than the one where some cowboy glued some bits on in his shed.
The world would be much worse off if everyone just put a 7.0-litre Chevy V8 in their supercar, no matter how "efficient" its OHV design makes it.
Its - possessive -> no apostrophe.
It's - contraction of "it is" -> apostrophe.

Looks like I'm right yet again...
Now clear up the "turbos" for the other one.
Seems like everyone that posts here is a wannabe engineer. Always fighting over efficiency and torque and such. Most of you have no physics lab experience engines....so why? YOU DON'T KNOW. You're guessing.
Stop guessing, you're probably wrong.
Fanatic
You're wrong actually. Not because of your spelling either but the fact that you'd bring up something so f'ing pointless as grammer.
Nobody cares if you can spell/use apostophies properly. Get over it.
