Sometime back after talking to Mark we decided on a stratagy to have an attemt at producing a road going 1000bhp YB. Below is a graph of what we are trying to achieve & how we will try to do it.

The RED lines are the orginal 838bhp engine Power/Torque curves they are very coservative because since that Dyno session in 2008 the GT4202 has been updated to a GTX4202 the exhaust cam changed to one stage wilder & ports opened by .25mm. The single throttle body has also been changed to ITB's. This should result in at least 30/40 extra horses at the Topend but i have ignored that for this exercise.

The GREEN lines are the estimated gains when using FTW Purple. Tests on the net show it will make 10/15% gains over normal race fuel at the same boost & ignition curve. I have used an 8% gain so again very conservative.

The BLUE line on the Power curve shows the gains needed to make 1000bhp @ 8k rpm.

The BLUE line on the Torque curve is calculated from -
Torque= Horsepower x 5252/8000.

The WHITE line is the orginal Boost curve 2.84bar(41psi) .

The DARK BLUE line on the Boost curve is calculated by using a realistic 11bhp gain in bhp for each .1bar increase in Boost. It peaks at 3.93bar (57psi) to make the 657 ft-lb of Torque required to make the 1000bhp.

If the latest mods do give the gains expected then maybe only 3.6bar (52psi) Boost will be required.

The above will not be easy im sure but its a plan.
