I came across this on another forum and thought to post it on here.

:)


The Lancia ECV car originally produced over 600 horsepower (448 kW) from a 1759 cc twin-turbocharged engine. This engine, christened Triflux, was built in an unusual fashion; the valves were crossed (for each side of the cylinder there was an intake and an exhaust valve), so that the two turbochargers could be fed with two separate manifolds. A single manifold carried the intake air (hence the name, from the three separate air ducts).

It probably wouldn't set the metal detector at the airport off either.

There's a few that are'nt driven off the crank pulley Peter.
Smaller than normal cam pullies are a clue.
