Have been dreaming of putting one of these in a scale warbird for years. Why is it not a good idea?
Toyota 1GZ-FE 5L V12
- It's a V12
- 230kw
- 480N.m @ 4000rpm
- over 400N.m available from only 1200rpm
- all alloy engine
- compact being shorter than a straight 6. 60deg V so narrower than most V8's.
- forged crank
- 6 bolt mains
- chain driven cams
- twin ECU's with built in redundancy. Engine will run on one bank if any problems.
- it's a V12
Sounds like a perfect candidate but as a newbie I'm sure there's something I'm missing.
