Has anyone done this yet lol???

That's gotta be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

No one will ever do that because people with the kind of money required are 100% retarded.

yeah that was pretty silly..

So how about a 7.0 litre turbo diesel v8 instead...

A much better idea.

Imagine the torque of a 7L v8 turbo diesel. 1000nm+

300kmph at 2500rpm...lol

I remember reading a story on a twin turbo diesel v8 in a Camaro or something a while back..

The guy who owned it said it does LAZY 10 sec quarters

And diesels sound awesome with a bit of work and a big exhaust.

I need this weeks Powerball to do it. But it can and has been done. Z-Cars in the UK took a Cerbera and put GTR running gear in it. I would do it to a Sagaris, with RB28 and some punchy little twins for 450awkws :)

The other car I would kill to build up...

Take one late model Exige and combine

With

And a few parts from the Lotus Motorsports parts bin to create

Full space frame and AWD from a GTR. Should handle fine. Also, TVRs handle just fine, well the Griffiths, T350, Speed 6, Cerbera etc all do (late model stuff) Its just that hacks cant get their heads around driving 400hp rwd cars that weight 1000kgs ( i include myself in the Hack Dept :) )

I have often thought about a mid engined V8 Mazda MX-6 :)

This, Twin Turbo Lotus V8,

Plus, this

They are a good looking car, and even havea reasonable V6 as standard which you could throw in the back with a few turbos :)

I do have in mind the ultimate engine transplant for my lil R32, but I wont make a peep as its actually no more expensive then a rebuilt RB26 with some good fruit....and one day I may actually do it :)

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
