About this episode
Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about making your own bespoke engine — something completely new, that makes big power, and sounds like heaven. No? Maybe that's just us then. Either way, we were excited to sit down with this week's guest, as he's one of the few people out there that has taken the leap and turned his daydreams into reality. Use ‘PODCAST75’ for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-in Craig Williams is the brains behind the much-hyped Neutron Engines, and on this episode of High Performance Academy's 'Tuned In' podcast, the mechanical engineer sits down with Andre to dive into his fascinating world. Craig takes us through all the whats, whys, hows, and whens of his bespoke engine design, which is essentially two Honda K24s mated together to create a 750hp, 10,000rpm, flat-plane crank, 4.8 litre V8 in naturally aspirated form — with upwards of 1500hp possible when adding forced induction into the mix.

There's plenty of technical nuggets to uncover here, so this episode is going to be perfect for any listeners with an interest in the internal workings of an engine, as well as how an engine is designed and the challenges that need to be overcome before being put into production.
