espically from the people who know me well ,

but im still in two minds wether to v8 my car


the cossie engines coming along , with the pistons getting machined ,and the other parts soon to be on order ,

but we got nattering bout it after seeing the orange escos thats in next months pf with the ls1 motor in it


and now its all i think about , im even i two minds to finish building the engine and sell it off for a v8 lump ,



arrgggghhhh help ,



beef

 

Will the weight not seriously affect the handling?

 

keep it Cossie mate,s2 cossie's are cool as fook

 

you ALWAYS get this dilemma when you have free range over what you can fit into a car.

you should've heard the engines my uncle was thinking of putting into his mk2 jag, just because the bay was empty. i think the silliest was an impreza turbo engine

its up to you, cossie is very cool BUT its also been done abit now. it would probaly drive alot nice with the cossie lump in though. think of parts/ maintenance afterwwards. reliability though and the v8 will probably win

 

LS1 is all aluminium mate but still heavy compared to a cossy lump.

 

bmw m5 turbo engine

 

Will take hard abuse all day long and wont break unlike a cossie when it starts rattling and pissing oil

 

I wouldn't go for a V8 unless your building a drag special. Even aluminium ones are heavy in comparison to a cossie lump.

 

keep it Ford !!!!












Boss 302 V8 and turboed !!!!

 

the "weight"............fpmsl.....have u seen him...........

 

you already have the bits

 

windsor v8 heavier than a yb factory ls1/2 lighter than a fully dressed yb and can be turbo'd straight away if you need it more reliable! sounds awesome id say v8 is the way forward

 

s2000 supercharged or turbo'd imo

 

you must have been offered a free engine fat boy ,,,,,
your language is a disgrace on andys in car footage !!!!!!!
you called me a Cnut lol

 

LS Crate engine 400hp out the box.... Just sling it in as far back as you can.

thre not realy that heavy mate

you ever tried picking o yb up cos i have and i nearly had ass grapes

 

scooby engine

 

just been looking into the ally ls motors , and well im just thinking with the way i drive , would a v8 be better , they seem to have awesome tuning options,

tbh weight aint an isuuse , im a fat fuck ,


arrggghh ,

 

apologies mate , cought up in the excitement lol




and well if i built up the cossie engine and sold it , ,

i could buy a ls motor lol

 

i had the same idea when i saw a indy car engine for Ł8k .....500hp n/a....900hp with turbo's at least it was made by cosworth so i was thinking it would be okay in my three door .....lol
wish someone had the bollocks to do it would be cool as fck........
just go to bed and will be okay in the morning mate........

 

??? not all of them lol

 

350 - 470 dependin on ls model ,

i know theres a few big fans of them on here ,

i just want to really upset me neighbours ,

some really decent exhausts and see it sat rocking at a set of traffic lights ,

 

Get it done mate, it will take abuse all day long and still get you to work the next morning. No point being a sheep and following the crowd!

Could it be worth making the bodywork 1.3 popular spec too?

 

A Skyline engine would be funky, and they sound very nice, a V8 would too, but its the wrong sound for a S1 imo.

 

lol its a series two ,

with a s1 kit


and thats the best part , its going to freek a few people out ,

 

too much tork in that car will mean we will be atending your funeral

 

big coffin to spray...................

 

not overly funny mate , they guy was a friend of jacks , and his brothers a good freind ov ours ,


do us a favour and edit it please

 

370 hp 350 ft/lb toruqe ,

not far off the cossie lol

just smoother , eaiser to manage

 

awkward twat

 

You and your idea's beef, a v8 would be cool and mental, as said above a cossie lump in a mrk4 has been done afew times now! i would love to see a v8 in there but if it gets done is another thing lol, go for what your mind tells you am sure what ever the result is it will be cool and very quick.

Over and out.

 

be different but it will need lotts of one off parts that will add to the cost of the build

 

That's what i was thinking

 

that sugestion was talked about for my shell but i now have the cosworth bits waiting lol

 

beefy thats nothing new we did it on wennys turbo van years ago

 

Although torque bhp may be similar, the V8 will feel shed loads quicker in everyday driving, no doubt producing most of the torque before 2000rpm, bloody fast with no effort, the way I'd go, not necessarily that V8 but a V8 of us origin.
tabetha

 

fuck it put a viper in it lol

 

go for the v8 man.

cant beat the sound and its a bit different!

 

if someone wants to fit a free V8 to a car, for free, then i'll have 2 please

 

not read hole thread nut go for the ls1 engine mate be a bit different would love to see this
