Engine~ V8 5.0L boat anchor, 400hp@4500rpm@the air con compressor.

Gearbox~ 6 speed manual or optional automatic.

Drive~ Rear wheel drive through blingtastic 20"s

Body~ 5000lbs with every gizmo, gimmick, cup holder, tv screen and cruise control.

Price~ $USD. Whatever the Seppos are prepared to pay for it.

Blame it on the fast and furious.

but seriously, 350kw 3.7L V6 twin turbo, seven speed sequential(like a five bladed razor), acres of aluminium and about $100000 oz dollars worth of carbon.

Will it have four engines because there is 4 wheels ( One motor for each wheel?). But then there would be 4 diffs, gear boxes  as well wouldnt it? 

I wouldnt bother with it in that case because it will be to heavy. however I like the four exausts it will obviously be a v17! hahah

There wouldn't be 4 differentials. Differentials split drive from one source to two places eg. from left to right, from front to rear. If there is 4 motors, one per wheel, then it would have zero differentials for the electric motors because the drive doesn't need to be divided.

With a good 15000+ rpm from electric motors with maximum torque at zero rpm, i would say if they have in wheel hybrid motors then they would only have the one ratio, hence no need for four gearboxes. Many purely electric cars only have the one gear, and most hybrids have CVTs, so I guess that gives it infinite gears. No one is putting conventional gearboxes with electric motors into production as far as I know.

With all that in mind, the weight penalty of having in wheel electric motors wouldn't be as bad as you perhaps first thought. But I don't beleive that it will have four electric motors. If it does get an electric boost from in wheel motors, it will only be for the front wheels IMO.

Im guessing between 3.2-3.5L V6 similar to 350z engine with a slightly higher redline, something like 7500-8000rpm, heaps of torque and somewhere around 350kw at the engine on about 10-12psi

7 speed manual or auto, 1550-1650kg and reworked E-4wd

depending how efficient the production is, somewhere around 80-110K

will destroy all competition anywhere near its price :D And will bring prices of 34GTRs into reach :unsure:

go godzillason!

    • 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?
