Build Your Own V8 Engine That Runs on Gas
Eight pistons. Real gasoline. That deep, unmistakable V8 rumble. The TOYAN FS-V800WGPC is a working 1/10-scale small-block V8 engine model kit you build with your own hands. This complete V8 engine kit gives you everything to bring it to life on your desk: display base, ignition, fuel system and water cooling, all in one box.
This is a limited first batch. Once it is gone, it is gone.The new 2026 Wooden Base set arrived in August with the latest upgraded starter kit and a full video tutorial. It is the easiest way yet to get a V8 running, even if it is your first engine. Only a few sets from this first batch are left.
📦 Latest batch in stock and shipping since August 8, 2026.
We know waiting is frustrating, and we are sorry when the V8 sells out. TOYAN does not make it all year round. A new production run only starts once orders reach the factory's minimum order quantity (MOQ), and every part then takes 3 to 6 months to machine, inspect and test-run. We would rather wait than ship an engine that has not been properly tested.
— The Stirlingkit Team
Missing this batch can mean waiting 3 to 6 months or longer. If you want the new 2026 base and starter kit, don't miss it this time.
Why Builders Love This Working V8 Engine Model
Eight cylinders fire in sequence to give the deep, uneven burble of a classic V8, not the buzz of a single-cylinder model.
This is a gas-powered V8 engine model that really runs. Pistons, crankshaft and valves all move under the engine's own power.
This build-your-own V8 engine kit lets you assemble it part by part: crankshaft, eight pistons, camshaft and OHV valve train. When it fires up, you understand every part of it.
This complete V8 engine kit with base includes the ignition, fuel system, water cooling and battery, all made to fit this engine. Nothing extra to hunt for.
Dual water cooling with a radiator and fan keeps the engine at a steady temperature, so you can enjoy longer runs.
The red V8 on its display base looks stunning on a desk or shelf, whether it is running or not.
Build It Yourself, Watch It Run
From a box of parts to a running V8: see the build come together and hear it fire up for the first time.

Engine, base, ignition, fuel and cooling: here is everything that comes together in one complete V8 engine kit.

V8 Engine Kit FAQ
Is this a real working V8 engine model?
Yes. The TOYAN FS-V800WGPC is a real four-stroke, 28cc gasoline V8 that runs under its own power. It is not a motor-driven display model.
Can a beginner build this V8 engine model kit?
Yes. The DIY kit comes with tools and step-by-step instructions, and the 2026 Wooden Base set adds plug-in harnesses and a video tutorial. If you would rather skip the engine build, choose Pre-Assembled.
How long does the Pre-Assembled version take to ship?
About 15 to 25 days. Each Pre-Assembled engine is put together and test-run by hand by our technicians, one at a time, so orders are built in the order they are received. The DIY Kit ships much sooner. If you need it by a certain date, email service@stirlingkit.com before ordering and we will check the current queue for you.
What fuel does this mini V8 engine run on?
92# or higher gasoline mixed with 2-stroke oil at 25:1. No separate engine oil is needed.
Is a battery included? What battery does it use?
Yes, all three complete sets include a battery. The 2026 Wooden Base set comes with a 3S 11.1V 2000mAh LiPo battery with a T-plug. The ignition and starter run on 7.4 - 12V (2S-3S LiPo). Need a spare? Get the 3S 2000mAh LiPo battery.
Is a charger included?
Yes, all three sets include a charger. The 2026 Wooden Base set comes with a B3 2S/3S LiPo balance charger (AC 100-240V input), so you can charge the battery straight out of the box.
Do I need to buy anything else to run it?
Only gasoline, 2-stroke oil and coolant water. Everything else, including the battery and charger, is in the complete set.
What scale is this V8 engine model?
1/10 scale. The engine is about 17.7 × 17.35 × 15.39cm and weighs 2400g.
Before You Run
Fuel: the engine is lubricated by its fuel. Mix 92# or higher gasoline with 2-stroke oil at a 25:1 ratio. No separate engine oil is needed.
Cooling: the engine has 4 coolant ports. Connect all of them to the cooling system as shown in the manual. Do not seal any ports, as this reduces cooling and can cause overheating.
