Sounds awsome!

Have you thought about any rear end body work? Shorting the rear axles and cutting out some of the inner boot to put in fatter tyres? (for more traction?)

Is it meant to be a daily driver or just a pure track car?

Thanks Dave.

2x2 weeks.

I haven't seen the car for 5 months.

I drive 3 other turbo cars during the week, otherwise I'd be screaming… I’m patient and see this as an R&D process.

New Stage 5 Nizpro motor with forged crank, Nizpro cams, forged rods and pistons are in the car; new motor has been run in.

Also 1000+ cc injectors; special coil packs, Motec with cam & other options (e.g traction control); Nizpro extractors; 3 fuel pumps; external wastegate; huge turbo; new Intercooler, 8000 rev tacho (fpv); whole inlet system upgraded to around 5” piping (except Nizpro plenum and throttle body). ... retain Mal Wood 6-speed & 4" exhaust.

Early testing indicated around 500rwkw at just 1.1 bar (as a guide).

Car will rev to 7500 revs.

I will be able to control boost via a potentiometer attached to the Motec

Outstanding:

New triple plate Os Giken clutch yet to go, new mufflers, review of inlet system to check for bottlenecks, more tuning... see what breaks. ... tyres & new bonnet???

Not sure about retaining 4.10 diff … will test the car first.

I'll provide an update soon.

Just don’t ask how much I’ve spent  …. A ‘pretty penny’ is the response you’ll get.

That’s it for now.

I thought you were getting serious with it this time..................

I can understand where you are coming from though, I wouldn't be happy with 360rwkw either..

Brian whats the most power you will be able to run on pump fuel ?

500rwkw is alot of power for a track car considering v8 supercars only make around 360rwkw

It's too much power for a street car to use on a track only good for 1/4

Are you sure about V8 Supercars only making around 360rwkw?? That works out to be about 482BHP. I thought that most V8 Supercar teams were quoting 620bhp which is more like 470rwkw. :blink:

Adam,

Still a lot of testing to be done, and too early to answer regarding fuel.

I don't particularly want to run MB as a permanent additive (but I know of guys who do) or octane supplement. The car is for street use, and will be limited to 3 days per week, depending on what cars I have available at the time.

I don't know yet how much more power is possible, say if I turn the boost up to around 1.7 bar. This Nizpro testing run in December with their motor (of very similar configuration) used a 50:50 mixture of Mobil 8000 and avgas to get over 1200HP and 1476NM of torque at 1.7bar.

Remember these cars are very heavy... when weighed at WSID my car was around 1840kg (without me) ... supercars are a lot lighter, I think around 1350-1400kg, and I believe they have 400-450rwkw.

I can turn the power down, as required, as many of my turbo cars in the past have run EBC's.

Even with 360rwkw I don't think my Ford T will keep up with my STi, so I'll give the Ford some more grunt.
