N1GTR Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Omg that's different. Good to see someone doing something so wildly different AND with a t51r in a car that weighs 1100 with driver, bloody hell that would be fun. Awesome brakes too!

Angus Smart Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Shit, someone finally worked out how to make an alfa a little biit more reliable.. obviously still needs a bit more thought Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320251-alfa-beer-gt-r/#findComment-5228605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I just love different stuff like this No good for a Superlap car though, needs original firewall. Still, how cool is it!

sav man Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 i can't imagine it'll be easy to drive with a short wheel base, and the lag from a t51. But the 11000 rpm might help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320251-alfa-beer-gt-r/#findComment-5228783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickR33 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 very cool conversion! but a bit worried about their goals for engine tuning... 900hp, 11K redline and he reckons it will be as easy to drive as a standard car!? how many laps is it going to last at 11K rpm... if you brought the redline down to make it reliable it would be lag city with a T51 on 2.6L EDIT: beat me to it sav man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320251-alfa-beer-gt-r/#findComment-5228792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1GTR Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Surely they will dry sump it before doing water cooled brakes and a one off crank Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320251-alfa-beer-gt-r/#findComment-5228997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM-R33 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Wow that is insane! But yeah like others have said, the turbo choice for a car like that is a bit strange, surely something with a powerband a bit lower would be far more reliable and just as bloody quick in a car like that.

Neil Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 When I 1st started reading it I thought,,,Ah Ben's taking the piss,,,AGAIN,,,Paddy the Irish-man. I'm now thinking these guys are on drugs. "It also will have a power band of over 5000 rpms so it will be vary easy to drive. It will start spooling at 3k and be at max 2.5 bar boost by 5k the cams we have will hold the power all the way to 10k so it will never be out of the power band on any track even if your in the wrong gear. It will have 11.5:1 static compression. The dynamic figure i wont be disclosing sorry. You need your engine to be at maximum cylinder pressure between 9-15 degrees ATDC. The only way to do this is by having the right compression ratio and ign timing mixed. Altering one more than the other only results in premature big end failures. The car will run on E85 for now. Quality dependent. The comp ratio will allow the use of 95 ron fuel with max 2.0 bar boost. Quality dependent. The RPM limit will be 11k. My current GTR engine has being doing 10,500 rpms for 4 years and when inspected has never shown any sign of high frequency harmonic vibration etching on the bearings. This engine has a better harmonically designed crankshaft so it should be better". I'm having a few problems digesting some of these statements. This thing is going to be a mental thing to drive,,,paddy is going to need more than 1 roll of shit paper,,,maybe 12. Hope they cut out all the standard Alfa rust!!! Neil.

sav man Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I think he's abit abishious with 11.5:1, esp is 2.5 bar. Wonder how many engines he'll have explode.
