    V16

    Hi I am a engine fabricator and bought out another fabricator that retired and he built several v16 engines and I am planning on buying a heavy armored m 760li that I want to add a race suspension and custom activation aerodynamic systems what do you think? I also can develop several larger billet aluminum engines in my full equipped shop so is any one is interested in larger v12s v16 you name it larger heads ect

    A V12 could potentially use off the shelf I6 heads. I would be concerned about trying to get a 8 cylinder long aluminum cylinder head to stay sealed properly. Do you have any past projects that you can share?

    Although I like the ideas of a billet engine, why not build an N74 twin turbo V12. In stock form, it does about 600hp. Find a used one on ebay and build up the internals. I would think 1000hp+ would be easy with this engine with larger turbos.

    I am not trolling or whatever I basically have been redoing business and shops. I want to do a v16 basically because its different and I found out about motor generators that bolt between the engine and transmission I have setup a system that can build v8s to v24 I don't want a v24 but did recently build a v10 basically 2 10liter viper engines with 4 valves per cylinder electric superchargers and hybrid turbos no lag went in a rolls royce phantom ewb with excutive strech witch my 760li is now. I hired some people from Canada witch is becoming more and more like California as far as regulations. Everything was streched the fenders hood doors 22inch b pillars longer truck active and dynamic aerodynamics suspension system steering and more. I took 2 ideas as far as engines the American way of displacement and the sofitacated engineering of Europe. I will be offering 6.0l v12s up to12.8l and 14liter to 19.8 v16 with free valve design and no accessories will drive off the engine mine is a 19.8 with 5 valves v16 with 6 hybrid turbos and each intake runner is a cold air intake and has a supercharger per cylinder I also use dual ignition system one is lazer ignition the other is a plasma ignition everything is redundant
