CISON's second-generation PRO V8 is coming with all the upgrades you are waiting for

Origin and design background of CISON Pro V8 Gen 2

The CISON PRO V8’s engine series origins can be vividly traced to the iconic V8 engine which gave its fame in 1914 when Cadillac introduced the world’s first mass-produced V8 engine. Like all great innovations, this new layout with eight cylinders in a V shape, balanced the automotive industry's need for a compact engine and smooth.

Throughout the years, V8 has proven to be a dominant symbol for performance and prestige. Thus, powering everything from luxury sedans to the roaring American muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s. 

CISON saw this market gap and built their first generation PRO V8, a functional miniature replica as a miniature V8 engine. Designed with precise CNC machining and meticulous assembly, every component was engineered to reflect a v8 engine’s crankshaft, pistons, and firing order. 

This was a true eye-candy for the collectors, engineers and hobbyists as it enabled them to study and appreciate miniature classic automotive engineering.

Currently, the second-generation PRO V8 expands upon the earlier model with the addition of major improvements. PRO V8 Gen 2 offers enhanced machining accuracy of components, as well as aesthetic refinement. PRO V8 Gen 2 is a tribute to over a century of V8 engineering by blending historical design with modern engineering while keeping the spirit alive for a new generation of engineering enthusiasts.

Smarter Design, Better Engine: What’s New in the PRO V8 Gen 2

The CISON PRO V8 Gen 2 engine model is also a miniature gasoline-powered 4-stroke internal combustion engine. However, compared to previous V8 DIY models, this one V8 mini engine comes with both increased performance and a redesign for better efficiency in every aspect. 

Whether you are an engineering student or simply an engine model collector, there are major improvements that bring greater ease and enjoyment to the experience. So, let’s dive in!

i) Flange Bearings: No More Wobbling

Fange bearings are also a bearing type having a flat mounting surface with a hole inside, so they can be attached tightly to the engine part. Well! This Gen 2 V8 engine model comes with flange bearings for the cylinder block’s front and rear. They hold the crankshaft and camshaft tightly in position while at the same time allowing them to spin freely. 

Thus, it prevents the engine back and forth movements, which may cause wear and tear of engine parts with the passage of time. 

ii) Enhanced Carburetor Rotor: Smooth and Steady

Before knowing this upgrade and understanding the role of the carburetor rotor, you can connect things easily. Well! The carburetor is a part of the gasoline engine that is assigned the role of mixing fuel and air before combustion. And the rotor in the carburetor acts like a gatekeeper that controls the flow of air and fuel entering inside.

The rotor has been updated and now it is crafted from hardened steel, which is much stronger than the first-generation model’s rotor, which was made from softer metal. This change wasn't just about making it strong, but it also fixes an important issue.

Old rotors made up of soft metal easily wear down, thus they would throttle the airflow unevenly, creating performance issues. With the updated rotor, fuel and air are now mixed quite evenly. This change helps a lot in the engine’s response when the throttle is adjusted. 

iii) Enhanced Valve Seals: Cleaner Oil and Reduced Emissions

With the PRO V8 Gen2, there are added more valve seals, which is a positive change. These valve seals are essential in controlling how much oil gets to the rocker arms.

In older Cison engines, the engine dealt with excess oil flow. This meant there was a lot of oil in some of the engine’s hotter regions, which would cause oil to burn and emit a lot of smoke from the exhaust. 

With the new valve seals, the oil flow is now restricted to just the right quantities, making a huge positive difference.

iv) Compact Look and Easier Mounting

The PRO V8 Gen 2 also has a compact shape and better smoothness in its machining. The additional refinement not only augments the layout of the engine but also assists in making it easier to install into tighter locations. Furthermore, the claimed enhanced mounting locations provide a more balanced and simpler installation.  

This new miniature V8 engine is cleaner and more professional, while giving it a more complete and enhanced feel. Be it running in a model vehicle or serving as a display piece, the engine is a clear style and function upgrade.

Next-Level Engineering – Internal Upgrades for Power & Durability

Now that you’ve seen the outside of the PRO V8 Gen 2, which looks neater and more compact, let’s see the inside. CISON didn’t change the outside look only; internally, the improvements make the engine more intelligent and fortified in the vital areas. 

Each change made internally will allow the user to get more power, smoother performance, and an engine that lasts longer. Let’s simplify it and go through each change step by step. 

i) Re-Tuned Compression and Fuel Flow: Easier Starts, Less Wear

First of all, this new V8 engine made the spark ignition’s fuel and air mixture ratio more optimal.  Keep in mind that compression ratio is the number that tells ua that how much fuel-air mixture would be squeezed before the explosion. High compression ratio translates to more power and fuel efficiency.

This ratio in the older version was not optimal, which, in turn, made the engine burn fuel less efficiently, which also led to faster wear of the spark plug. 

With these updated features, your engine will now start more easily, misfire less, and fuel will be used more optimally while extending the lifespan of engine components. So, for those of you who have experienced issues with hard starts and frequent spark plug changes, this modification is for you. 

ii) 200% Tougher Pistons: Built to Last Longer

Let’s move forward towards the engine’s centerpiece, the pistons. In the first generation engine, these components were made of the regular aluminum alloy. While these components were functional, they were susceptible to wear and corrosion, especially under high-temperature runs or lengthy operating times. 

To resolve this issue, the model’s second generation features pistons with a wear-resistant degeneration coating that is 200% stronger. This coating uses a new layer that helps to shield them from all forms of damage that may arise from excessive heat, friction, and pressure. 

As a result of these changes, the engine experiences a considerable decrease in friction and an increase in durability. This translates to fewer servicing and repairs and an increase in operational uptime, yielding better overall performance. 

iii) Smarter Ignition Timing Systems: More Power On Demand  

The previous model V8 engine working model had a fixed ignition angle. This means that the spark plug would fire at it same time, it has no concerns with how slow or fast your engine is running. Thus, it limits the engine’s performance to certain levels at specific speeds.  

However, the Gen 2 V8 model has a smart system in which ignition timing is proportional to the throttle ( like a lever controlling the flow of gas and air). This is what we call a throttle-linked ignition advance system.

Thus, the engine’s response changes in real-time according to your needs and is not just pre-programmed, which puts you in control.
