scannon Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I see your puny four banger Fiat and raise you a Bentley named Mavis with a 12 cylinder, 43 liter Packard engine from a PT boat. 1,500 HP and 2,000 torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Skip, Notwithstanding the title, Mavis actually has a 24-cylinder Packard engine, not a 12 (or else each cylinder has two exhaust pipes). Where is the catalytic converter, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskossie Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 What was the exhaust layout, then? Why the 12 pipes on each side? Twin exhaust valves with separate pipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 All the Packard PT boat engines were V12s. Yes, and they have two exhaust valves per cylinder so 24 stacks. The cat converters are in the same location as the Fiat. I'm sure the PT boats had mufflers and under water exhaust outlets to ensure quiet running (but no cat converters).
