Apart from the then triple plate clutch now going to a twin plate rods car drives like a normal car in traffic.

Dave have you still got the AP 6 in it?

jontysafe

What's the boost threshold difference between your last turbo and this latest one?

Should have the other oil pump out shortly.

What will it top out at dave with the 3.9? I will be going for around this and will be running supra 3.9 which inlet are you running?

Cheers

Caddyshack

It has a Hart inlet and I think he said 185mph is the max.

Need rod to conferm this

Cheers lads mine will be on frs 19's maybe 190's be a good shoot out when all these are done

235/40/19 wheel/tyre will see 200mph at 8k im sure Mark wont want to go beyond that limit in 5th. Mine was circa 800bhp on pump back in 2008 with an extra 200bhp of Nitrous if required. It was road car until 2011 when it was taken off the road. The new engine will push the envelope of a road useable engine as far as 2016 development will allow. 200mph will be just out of reach with 700bhp but im sure Mark will give you the extra 20 horses or so an Escort will need to be assured of 200mph. I would love to be present if this happens

gjh

Christ! Bet if fooking shifts! Would love to see a vid of it being opened up a little. Must be a 10 second car?

Well done Dave

Have you ever run it up the quarter mile recently at all?
Even in its 600hp guise?

Cheers Paul

turbotrev

And the point is.........?

Cheers Paul

Vince Falzon 4x4 focus 650 bhp seq box is in the 10's

Rod-Tarry

Unless you are setting or claiming YB records that wont matter to you. Personally if I moved away from a YB it would be to a V8 so 2000+bhp could be achieved.

No trev not interested in that any i cant aford to brake it lol

ajamesc

Quarter mile don't mean much to me iver I'm more interested in how a car go's in gear that's more important on a road car. After all they spend most there life in gear on the road

smiley

It's good fun though gives a good hit of adrenaline too

ajamesc

To be fair so dose pulling harder than a superbike in 3rd 4th and 5th thinking fuck this feels stupid fast lol

smiley

Ah ok I see what you mean

Caddyshack

There is a good oppliger vid of a big power escos doing 60mph to 120mph in 6 seconds, what is funny is that the speedo flicks up there straight away which means it is wheel spinning and then it just settles. It gets there chuffing fast!

Caddyshack

There is a great article in Evo this month where they get to drive a brand new 600bhp rally cross car, it weighs 1300 kilos and has 7speed sequential geared for 120mph max and anti lag (proper) and you just get to feel how damn fast it is, he says that the p1 and Veyron that he drove didn't even come close.

My car will only be geared 20-30 higher and will be lighter which should be interesting when I go over 500bhp

Did this the other week the rider was very shocked when i pulled away from him to fast speeds

Mark Shead

You sure it's not kph as its Europe 😂

Mark

Caddyshack

Yes, I converted it, it is 100kph to 200kph thats 60 to 120 in my book.

What I cant work out is why it is spinning as surely 4wd, if 2wd the fronts and therefore the speedo wouldnt spin up unless it had an electronic pick up on the rears...which would be odd for a standard dash Escos surely.

I will post up a link

Editted to add: Cannot find the damned vid now...I am now questioning my self if I did the mental converstion backwards and it WAS 60 to 120 KPH as that might make more sense but I am sure it is not and even then it doesn't really explain the wheelspin...does it?

Oppliger site is down too

Rod-Tarry

It was 100-200kph.
My rwd did that in 5.1 back in 2005 with Datron.

Caddyshack

This might do it

Caddyshack

What is odd is that in my link it seems a lot more sedate, still flicks up the Rev range, I wonder if it is somehow "manipulated" on the YouTube link I watched? I don't think it does wheel spin at all but the speedo does something odd.

Also, watch it with the sound off and it gives a totally different look to the acceleration.

turbotrev

That speedo looks fucked in that vid

Cheers Paul

turbotrev

What is your engine spec Dave?

Seen that video there's another where the escort is racing a 2wd saff with similar power and the escort pulls away, would expect it to be the other way around so must be something wrong!

Caddyshack

I think I know the vid but the Escos has a bit more power and torque Iirc

Romain 83

the test we did with the vbox is 100 to 200km/h and its 6 seconds

Romain 83

the speedo c\anrt just follow the acceleration, its common on big powered escort

Caddyshack

Thanks Romain. I think Bara sent you a message today to ship my quick shifter directly to him. I sent you the money earlier in the week. Thanks From Toby.

Thanks for your input, the vid is great and a quick Cossie. You ought to post up the black one with 800bhp

Romain 83

thanks Tobby,yes will ship there.thats the video of the 796hp E85 escort i did:

What does it go like Dave? Graph looks like a lag monster lol.

That black Oppliger one looks fooking brutal!

Get some in-car videos up Dave.

stevieturbo

Should a 650hp car not be doing it a lot quicker than that ? especially a 4wd one.
