Does anybody keep track of the simon norris and his team? The latest engine development seems like they have finally finished it and will have worked out a price to sell in the next couple of weeks.

1250bhp zero lag and 2000-9000rpm power band, that sounds awsome i cant wait to see videos of this once its in the car being tested

Bloody hell that looks mental. What car/engine is it

Caddyshack

car is a short wheel-base Evo 9 called the Swevo. used to be green and 950bhp and very fast.

my mate works for ND and rebuilt the spaceframe front end, made all the pipework and some other fabrication he has done on the car.

anyway, vids

Been out in a cossie he done years ago it was awesome.

Dave his engine builder is really good.

gcfcos

Wow there's some skilled guys out there that's for sure!

I always remember when the SWB Evo first came out it had a bad problem launching in a straight line - I've never kept up to date with it since then, I expect they sorted that out

visa_broke

any videos of that?

Looks mental, I remember all the hype about it when it was first built but it never came of much.

Caddyshack

The turbo makes the engine look quite small

gjh

Someone tell him to paint it green again


Does look mega epic mind, it was fast before!

Yep, he solved it by turning the engine round and losing the transverse 'box.


Agree, looked better in green with headlights still.

With the Skyline sequential gearbox it still tried to exit stage left on a hard launch, not sure what has been done to rectify it, ill ask my mate.

Search for "jonus 90" on youtube and see an old Audi 90 smoke the SWB ND Evo

His unit used to be up the road from my house, used to see some mental cars flying about.

madmac-aka Donald macaskill has used a twincharger setup on the 4g63 in his evo for some years now,sweeping all the tintop records in Scotland as he went

yes, I have been overtaken by pretty much all of his demo cars except the Swevo lol

Fullflush

Can't wait to see the new spec in action

Scott_Rst

He lives literally 2 mins along the road from me, used to see him out on the backroads with the evo occasionally, not seen it in years tho!


As for the norris evo, id love to know the cost of that set up!

stevieturbo

Easily well north of Ł200k..and then some

The amount of time, R&D etc etc and then actual man hours fabricating, building, etc etc for any car like that is crazy.
If you were paying full whack on man hours, you could probably stick another 100k onto it over the years with the many builds and rebuilds

it ll be interesting to see how it compares against the likes of the andy forrest subaru

stevieturbo

Two very different ways of skinning a cat so to speak ( weird saying )

Andy will have the advantage of a larger engine though, and with the new drivetrain setup....another all round advantage.
And above all others...Andy really does know how to make stuff go fucking fast and on a relatively modest budget.

Neither are cheap cars by a longshot, but Andy's will definitely cost much much less than the Evo

Completly agree with steve with costings ect.
A massive amount of work but yet a hige acheivment really cant wait to see it out on track to see what the engines actually like in the car

pee vee

theres a few out there that he's done already.
I think his demo Evo is Version 3 of the setup. Crazy, crazy thing.
