Re: More New Scrambler Details
Not just that - I don't think they even did a 2.5 liter.
The biggest one I can find was this:
1997 cc / 121.9 cu in
Power 145.4 kw / 195.0 bhp @ 6000 rpm
Torque 275.23 nm / 203.0 ft lbs @ 3000 rpm
Now, Joshua - pretend I have my rice burner with its tricked out
100bhp/litre engine, and I foolishly decide to challenge Matt to a couple of
traffic light Grand Prixs. I realise I need a tad more hp - can you
recommend what I should do to this thing ?
Perhaps you should tell Jaguar, Aston Martin etc that they are making their
engines too large and should try to get more out of them, ha ha. After all,
Michael Schumacher has a 850bhp 3 litre, and that lasts him for 200 miles...

Re: More New Scrambler Details
As I said, I don't know the exact size of the engine, but I guessed
the absolute largest would have been 2.5L at the high end. Perhaps
you need to read more closely. :-)
And I stand by my argument that there are plenty of things you can use
to replace diplacement, the definition of "replace" being to take away
one thing and add something else instead. In your example, perhaps
you could arrange a nitrous oxide setup on your rice burner to
compensate for the fact that you are so much smaller than Matt.

the absolute largest would have been 2.5L at the high end. Perhaps
you need to read more closely. :-)
And I stand by my argument that there are plenty of things you can use
to replace diplacement, the definition of "replace" being to take away
one thing and add something else instead. In your example, perhaps
you could arrange a nitrous oxide setup on your rice burner to
compensate for the fact that you are so much smaller than Matt.

Re: More New Scrambler Details
As I said, I don't know the exact size of the engine, but I guessed
the absolute largest would have been 2.5L at the high end. Perhaps
you need to read more closely. :-)
And I stand by my argument that there are plenty of things you can use
to replace diplacement, the definition of "replace" being to take away
