We love everything about this adorable engine.
Tiny motors always get our hearts racing. There’s nothing like seeing a miniature combustion engine come to life and rev to the moon. That’s why we’re so into this 28-cc V-8 engine from Toyan. It makes a grand total of 4.3 hp and revs all the way to 12,500 rpm.
This engine is called the FS-V800, and you can buy it right now disassembled for $1799. As far as small engines go it’s fairly sophisticated, with water cooling and dual carburetors. The camshafts are belt-driven, while the water pump is driven off the crankshaft. It even has two sets of cute little headers with their own mufflers.
The JohnnyQ90 YouTube channel published a video showing the engine being assembled, which is supremely satisfying to watch on its own. Towards the end of the video we also get to see the engine run, hearing it rev all the way to 12,000+ rpm. And it sounds wonderful. It reminds us of a wild V-8-powered hill climb car or even Formula 1’s V-8 era.
