Very nice, I like that it doesn't use logic gates per piston, and still has switch-based forward and reverse.
@Miobrot yes, 35hp/piston is possible with V8, however, that requires piston stretch, which would increase the block width by 2 blocks and block height by 1, which is not viable as this engine is all about power density.

Very nice!!! I am not planning on using this, but I did engine swap this with a trammeled unicycle and it did burn-outs like there wasnt any load haha. No offense to your build, but its possible to get 30+ hp per piston with the v8 configuration, otherwise very nice engine.

Just a side thought, If anyone wants to use this engine for the size, but find the game too laggy, glitchy, or it has too much power, 1 piston from each cylinder can be deleted, converting it into a normal 8 piston engine. Power and torque will be cut in half as a result.

In my testing, this thing absolutely shreds collision based gears/differentials because of the power. lol
