That is one hell of a leaf blower

That is one hell of a leaf blower

I'm assuming you also meant, "That's one hell of a Leaf blower," since this engine was made by Nissan.

hahaha floyd well played sir.

Would the engine fit? Maybe
Would the turbo, piping, and inter-cooler fit? not likely.
Would the drive train be able to handle such force? No.

It's also designed to make power for a generator, so the power curve would not be useful for a normal transmission.

Also, it makes 400 HP for the length of Le Mans, which the longest distance was 3300 miles, after which it will be properly overhauled.

Awesome -- and I bet it comes with a 4-day warranty, too.

TO INFINITI ... AND BEYOND

The new Variable Compression-Turbo (VC-T) powertrain, expected to be officially unveiled at next month's Paris motor show, will initially be showcased in an Infiniti car to be unveiled next year, Nissan engineers said, without elaborating. Eventually, it's expected to be used in Nissan cars and possibly by its alliance partner Renault.

The turbo-charged, 2-liter, four-cylinder VC-T engine averages 27 percent better fuel economy than the 3.5-liter V6 engine it replaces, with comparable power and torque. Nissan says the new engine matches the diesel engine in torque – the amount of thrust that helps determine the car's acceleration.

The engine is also cheaper than today's advanced turbo-charged diesel engines, Nissan engineers said at the briefing at the company's technical and design center in Atsugi, south of Tokyo. They said it should also meet nitrogen oxide (NOx) and other emissions rules in certain markets without requiring costly treatment systems.

Maybe Elio was a little hasty designing their own engine ... this thing would make the Elio flat-out scream!

Here's a schematic showing how this thing works. Looks like a Rube Goldberg fantasy, but probably isn't ...

Looks like a variable "stroke" engine to me. Interesting concept.

 

[Ekh]

It is; that's how the vary the compression ratio.
