How about that?

I was seriously just watching that vid on youtube lol, very informative, good idea sharing rodha.

Very cool, 6 cylinder, never would've guessed

[bassaddict]

Nice video

@redglasses:
Pretty much any modern tractor with more than 200HP has a 6-cylinder engine. Between 150 and 200HP you can find 4-cylinders and 6-cylinders, below that it's usually 4-cylinders and below 100HP you sometimes also find 3-cylinders.

I enjoyed that, thanks for sharing.

Leno is into anything with an engine.
He has some weird stuff in his garage.

Oh ok, never really thought of the amount of cylinders in a tractor tbh

[RODHA]

What I really wonder is how on earth did NH managed to make the T9 sound like a potent V8 with that 6 cyln diesel engine?

Different length exhaust manifolds and a tuned exhaust can sound whatever way you like. That's how the impreza has the iconic burble.

[RODHA]

You are right about that. I mean you can adjust the sound but I think I will oppose to your comment on the Impreza because its sound is unique to its 4 cylinder boxter engine rather than the exhaust system. You can find a very similar tone in the latest 718 series of Porsche. They also use 4 cylinder boxter engines. Their fine tune on the sound is a bit different than Subaru for sure but the base sound is pretty much identical. 4 cylinder boxter engines sound just amazing and I had the change to ride in an STI a while back. 4WD traction and acceleration accompanied with that incredible sound was just heavenly.

[Guil]

Nope you can remove the burble with equal length manifolds, I used to have a 250hp (at the wheels) WRX that I absolutely loved. It was a monster on full throttle.

[Guil]

Brutal quality but this was my car. I had a Sony Ericsson k800i phone recording both.

Was? Was? Seriously why is it past thense? What happened to that gem? Don't tell me it was hit by a tractor

[Guil]

Lol I wish, I had it in 2006 and sold it after missus Guil was pregnant with our second child. I was putting €250 petrol in to the car every week. The stories I could tell about that car and the thrill every time I turned the key and heard that big Mitsubishi TD05 spooling up. It give me goosebumps still and I can hear it all through the rev range.

It was pure madness but I was planning on getting a new 2.5ltr engine and 6 speed gearbox for it but it would have been money down the drain.

[Guil]

In the video of the clocks above I went from about 40km/h to about 140km/h and the windows were up. Probably don't go much past 5500rpm either but when I did it would absolutely roar.
