Err, no.

6cyl engines sound awesome anyhow, and always like that with an open exhaust, they aint some crappy sounding 4cyl.

And they 2.6 as std

Engine bay pic if you want any proof...

Steve,
Can you find the one with the Skyline equipped with VVT? They did a back to back with it switch off and then on? .

That Mines car is one of my all time favourites . Best wheels (need to be bright gold though) and best colour .

To 'turbine' is to make the the engine accelerate faster and faster simply as a result of a surfeit of impetus.

Every Turbo engine has this potential but due to engine design it is not actually capable of doing so.

The motor has to be a short stroke with short conrods too, the old problem with such a conformation is that torque at low revs is compromised, this doesn't matter too much in racing motors or heavily modded ones, but road cars are dreadful when so designed.

One such car was the original Lamborghini Urraco which to this day remains the only road engine that was not tubo charged to almost turbine of its own accord. but you could stall it even with 2k revs at start up???

The way 'round this is to have small turbos that can both allow the motor to turbine and still provide enough 'puff' low down to overcome the lack of 'natural' torque.

It is precisely because of this seemingly irreconcilable problem that the Jap engineers designed the Ceramic turbos that many cars ran/run on.

To turbine is simply the ability of an engine with partial load to [with an open throttle] accelerate in any 1000 rpm increment faster than it did in the previous 1000 rpm increment.

The important bit is just how much load it can take and still do this trick, that is why small turbos that come on song as early as possible is the way to go, a big single will give the biggest gross figure for power but will be laggardly until it get on song...

This is how some cars with less 'power' simply trounce others with much greater power, smooth progressive power that comes in early and just builds is far faster in the real world driving than any 'behemoth' with outrageous power numbers...

Still as Pavlo [the wonderdog] says in his own unique way... I know fvck all...


whole thread here http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/60...light=turbines


gets going on page 3....

Sounds like bollock s to me! but I am not techincal enough to really know!!!

About 600bhp.

Pretty much a N1 engine on 2530s, a lot like Porkies R34GTR, a common sorta spec in the UK and everywhere, its quite funny people spanking off about how fast it is and how amazing the engine is, without even realising their engines are almost identical.
Its all been lightened and balanced, mild cams i think, head ports tidied, up, but tis all pretty standard TBH.

Reason its fast and revs like that is cause its got the mega low ratio front and rear diffs.
Its fucking light, and a mega well set up track car.

Its not as if its some super response beast people think, ignore the comments and watch the rev counter, it still is sluggish as hell upto about 3.5k and is caught below the powerband a few times on the vid.

Also helps the hosts of the show TOTALLY go over the top with bullshit making out its faster than the Skyline JTCC cars they drive and other stuff.

Never let entertainment get in the way of facts eh

It was still over 3s a lap faster than the HKS VVT car . Have you got a link to some nice static pictures, I want new wallpaper for the PC to drool over ? Are there any liners to have bettered the 1.00 dead time it did on that circuit?
