Just for interest's sake, the highest power/displacement ratio of any production engine was that used in the Lotus Esprit S4s with a 2.2 litre single turbo producing 307bhp (that's from memory). The Nissan Skyline RB26DETT 2.6 litre twin turbo inline-6 can be tuned to well over 600hp, and with enough money, over 1000hp. Thanks to Japanese laws regarding engine ouput power, they're only allowed to leave the factory with 240hp Martin timnagin wrote: >>Apparently the >>volumetic efficiency (effiency of the output power to the displacement of >>the engine) of the s2000 is almost 100%.
