Thought I'd share this engine with you...

442ci General Motors based OHV V8

- no gaskets, just heat expanding O-rings

- extesive use of titanium.

- fluid dynamic crank to cut through the oil easier at speed

- turbos similar spec to what is found on Indy cars

Capable of 10000RPM (not bad for a 7.2L engine)

Early dyno run @ 25psi

1820Nm @ 7500RPM

2140hp @ 9000RPM

aiming for 2800hp with the boost set at 35psi

just the ticket for getting to work in my R32...

it says 10,000RPM not 100,000RPM. Its not a turbine....

the type racing this will be used for involves a lot of runs per meet, so it has been engineered to produce this power consistantly with needing a rebuild every run.

Basically nothing in the entire engine is off the shelf. Even the cam is considerably thicker than in the engine its based on. The write up on this suggests rather extreme levels of engineering.

7.2L, 4 turbos & 10,000RPM would sound unbelievable on the track

nah, the guy is fairly tight lipped about many of the exact details. there is just a repeated idea that 'it costs alot to run this sort of gear'. titanium valves, springs & retainers. billet ally/GRP rods, 55mm billet cam, magnesium/thin wall stainless turbos... its insane

i guess 'alot' would be quite an understatement

RB's are nice but i wanna turbo big block!

the 27L V12 Rolls Royce Merlin was in WW2 fighters such as the Spitfire, Mustang, etc. It was also used in tanks of the era.

Rod Hadfield of the Castlemaine Rod Shop fame has spent the best part of the last couple of decades engineering a Merlin into a '55 Chev body. Apparently it quite the animal. Its appeared on TV since its been finished but I still haven't seen it.

I was 15 last time I saw that car in the museum part of CRS & it was basically just a turret, chassis & engine.

That's Mike Moran's car + motor there, he's a leading edge drag racer in the states who always seems to be driving customer's cars for them. Then he decided to build a car for himself, and look what he got :D

Yep that car has been in a special zoom magazine drag edition last year!

It was pulling low 6 second 1/4 times in that same shell last year

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
