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

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.

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.

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
