So what's the top speed of the thing ??

After all, air resistance builds exponentially so I'd be interested whether this thing could beat a Veyron

(My guess - No - after all it's just a series produced Hot-Rod ;-)

And if you want 'power and torque' you can always chuck a Rolls Royce Merlin into a 55Chev to get the world's most powerful road registered car

:P

i'd have one if it were given to me for sure

race a few mates, maybe race some people that aren't mates

I can see it now, me being 17 rocking up at milton with a bunch of imports from CB and me in that thing, growling along slowly behind them. I'd get shit for it till I put my foot down lol

Bring it on I say, gimme one. I'll keep it for a week and then sell it and buy myself a few Race Spec GT-R's :P

Ok i found the mag

The Bugatti Veyron

8.0 Litre W16 Quad Turbo running 1.2 Bar

736Kw at 6000rpm, 1250Nm at 2000rpm

2 diff keys for 2 diff speed limits first key limit 375kmh 2nd key limit at 407kmh

0-100 in 2.5

0-200 in 7.3

0-300 in 16.5

9.8 1/4mile

400-0 in 9.8

When travelling at 400kmh it chews 100 litres of fuel in 12 minutes

Quote from motor mag "A monument to engineering stubborness over common sense and tradition"

my quote "dammmnnnn!!! (jaw open) now thats a car!"

mates quote "Wheres your mighty imports now" p.s hes a V8 owner (HSV GTS)

and an interesting thing its 64 valves.....thats alotta valves

If your jaws open that wide from just reading the Motor article on it then imagine what will happen to your jaws when you see Jeremy Clarkson driving it through europe in the last season of top gear :):)

I suggest u download it

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
