7 would be the Small Block 350, though that damn 3.8 maybe there now too being as they put it in everything...

the 90 degree V6 is the worst I believe.

Honda, S2000 2.0 to 2.2 for more Torque, RPM's

Sometimes I see Mugen spelled with Umlauts. In German, you add an "e" to the vowl that has the umlaut.I have no clue how its spelled.

1) Boxer-design 4 cyl?3) Bugatti.6) James is correct, Mugen.

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

1. H6 and 60* V-123. Bugatti (Greg beat me to it. Cadillac was my 1st guess)6. Dude its gotta be Mugen. Its run by the son of Honda's founder.

Post by **gabossie** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

1. I6, V12, boxer

time for some new questions.

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

I know that Mugen makes parts for Honda Racing teams, but do they modify poduction cars that are sold through the dealerships? (Example STi, SPT).

Post by **Mr1der** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

not here anyways...

I believe they do make some for Japan and Europe...

Oh, for Honda, they do have a division called HFP (Honda Factory Performance), and Acura has A-SPEC.

3. Correct

the answer is spoon.

The boxer motor refers to the firing order of the engine... not all horizontal engines are boxer engines.

oh...ha...so the answer is I6 H6 V12

Post by **Megaseth** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

Spoon? and i think there were some older V16 cars...not bugattis though.

Post by **Megaseth** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

I think Cadillac was the first to use V16s in the late 20s and H. Miller used them in his race cars in 1931.

Post by **Mr1der** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

maybe...

the caddies did use a V12 DOHC way way back though...

I think.

i got my info here:

http://www.bugatti-cars.de/bugatti/index.html

Choose "English". Along the top, click on "Models"Choose "Veyron 16.4"Choose "Engineering"Choose "Engine"Along the bottom, choose "Legends from 1001 HP"Click on video segments 1 through 7 in sequence. You may have to click the play button (small arrow) to get them to play initially.

they made it sound like he was the first...

Post by **rico05** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

Well, Mugen is not the same as AMG. Mugen and Honda have the same relationship that Dinan and BMW have. You can get Dinan parts and cars from BMW dealers, just like Mugen stuff can be had at some Honda dealers (but will not be warrantied). But Mugen is a separate company in no way legally affiliated with Honda Japan. Mugen was started as the motorsports company specifically with the intent of using Honda technology to build Formula racing motors. Yes, it is owned by the son of the founder of Honda Motor Co., but to say that they are the same company (like AMG is owned my Merc) is wrong.

then i guess that knocks out spoon.

No ...

I6, H6, V12, H12

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:02 am

I was wrong on #3 - It was Caddy.

Although i contend Bugatti put a V16 in a race car prior to Caddy's street car.
