how does it operate

>>17240755
Twinsuperturbo engine. Because why not

>>17240768
air goes in the top and comes out the side.

meant to equalise temps across the head by having the exhaust on both sides

Anyone have the edit?
>heard you talkin shit

Instead of having a conventional “hot” and “cold” side to the head where two pairs of valves are fed the intake charge and the other two dump exhaust gasses, the valves are fed according to a crossed layout or FID (Flusso Incorciato Doppio or Double corssed flow) as FIAT called it and patented it.
This meant that the two top-fed valves (imagine an “X” pattern) would allow the compressed charge into the combustion chamber, and the other two would dump exhaust gasses out each side of the head.

#5?

>>17240797
What makes it so special if it keeps breaking down?

>>17240797
does this engine exist in any production cars
for a smaller displacement it looks like it takes up alot of room
its a cool idea though

There's only one ECV and it doesn't break down at all.

Nope.
The engine itself is small and quite narrow it's just the radiators and tubing taking up space.

>>17240797
What's the point compared to a conventional crossflow engine, seems like it just has more complicated plumbing.

The idea behind this motor was to come up with a small capacity and compact engine design that would not only yield a high power output but also allow for a linear power delivery thanks to the use of two turbochargers.

By eliminating the conventional “hot” and “cold” sides to the head, there would be a far more uniform distribution of heat over the head itself. The more homogeneous heat dissipation means less chance of the head buckling under high loads as well as being far easier too cool through the liquid cooling system.

Also modular boosting. The exhaust gas flow from the cyl-head can be directed to a single TC at low engine rpm, permitting a high boost and subsequent high engine-torque to be generated even at low-speeds. At higher engine rpms, when sufficient engine exhaust gas is being generated, the second TC can be unblocked, and both TCs together produce higher top-end power. The two TCs can also be sized differently.

An optimised wastegate for the TC is possible, or with variable-geometry TC, the wastegate can possibly be eliminated altogether. (They already had designs for this).

The air that leaves the turbochargers is injected into the radiators or intercoolers before being passed on to the induction manifold and thence back into the cycle, while the compactness of the engine allowed the engineers much more freedom to plan the exhaust system to eliminate resonance problems encountered in more crowded systems.

All I want is a 600hp Lancia

>>17240940
Seems litty titty, would like to drive one or just hear it operate. Hope it doesn't end up like rotary though.

It sounds suprisingly meaty. And same engineer made the S4 twincharged engine so I wouldn't doubt it's potential

could i put this in an MR2?

>>17241358
Anything is possible, I'd be very interested if you managed to find an engine though

Size is not a problem with an MR2 at least
