what would be your ultimate spec for a cosworth if money was not an issue

 

Depends on what you want to use the car for!

 

mk two focus cosworth space framed with cage an wrc panels julian godfrey engine ,mk wrc running gear big diffs an padle shift box ect

 

what mad ade has mega fast road car

 

Gonna be maga fast'er soon Mate

 

Something along the lines of stians wrc escort but with a tall block big capacity yb dry sump, girdle and try push a 1000hp. Xtrac box and diffs. That's what I'm going to do when my numbers come up Saturday.

 

One of the wrc fiesta, think they look cool as fuck & go like stink!

 

Might be a rumour but 1668 HP from a YB engine was the record somewhere in Greece. Nice spec for daily road use to kill some "super cars".

 

:shoc ked: 1668 hp that would be some machine

 

Lots of big numbers being quoted without any knowledge of what the limits are. Forget the silly numbers from Scandy land I doubt if anyone has made a practical YB over 900bhp even Julian has stopped at 880bhp.
Even with a girdle blocks crack & there life span is very short. On pump fuel I know only one over 800bhp . For a practical road car 800bhp is near the limit & needs a refresh every 8k miles. On the drag strip on mega fuel & a Drop of the gas 1000bhp would be available for short bursts.

 

For me, just a nice useable road car that doesn't need constant pissing about with to keep it reliable lol, pretty much how my sapph is/was, 500bhp, 2wd, konis to keep it comfy lol, big brakes, adjustable beam etc, nice bodywork, that'll do me.

 

Low lagg BIG booost... And one young crazy arse driver that the way.

 

If I could build the ultimate turbo'd Ford as a toy I would go with, I think it's Wenny's?, little MKIII escort but with something like a WRC drivetrain and engine fitted, just less restricted to have a wider powerband:

- Understated looks and therefor big grinfactor
- Smalle and nimble
- Megapunch on real roads where ultimate speed isn't useable anyway
- ultrareliable since it will never see the abuse a true WRC-car will be subjected to

 

Ade's spec but with a strong diff!

 

something that will stay going for at least two weeks

 

I think cossie rich spec for the road and maybe alittle more on track .
Stians escort spec would be awesome on track

 

Just simply Andrew G''s old car, but with a few refinements for road use

 

Something I can pull 9 G's in when wanting my foot to the floor,

Oh and make bolts fly out of the floor plan

 

I still don't get that from Fast and the Furious, why did it have a bolted in floor pan?!

 

Don't blow the welds on the intake!

 

Surely not Ade...

 

To me,

400bhp
Anti lag
bara box
Uprated diffs front and back
WRC Suspension
Cage
Lightened

THat would be more than enough to have some serious fun with for the road

Track would be the same but more power for the straights

 

Seen some of the progess, gone be awesome.
Don't forget me Ade when it's running lol.

 

As said above, don't forget the suspension, brakes, wheels and tyre mods to make the most of whatever engine spec you get....... Unless you're just using it for Pod runs

 

Nothing over 550bhp and gets there this week - able to corner and stop quick - and looks like my car

 

for on the road stg 3 t34 for track 450-500

 

paper mache welds

 

My ideal spec would be something bike B5 JAM in my Escos. That thing was awesome.

 

Mine finished lol

 

The EsCos from Vlachos (ExtremeTuners on YouTube) has 1360 HP (not far from the record).

 

I did work for extreme tuners when they went from 800hp to 1200hp years ago and at the time they said that they were quicker with 800hp as at the time they could not get the power down

 

Mike Rainbirds car without gold alloys. But i believe his car isn't set up for hard launches so would fix that and be on my way lol

 

Also where does vin diesel put his feet when that Paul walker picks him up after lol

 

lightweight 3 dr thundersaloon with full rollcage etc and fitted with a v12 twin turbo f1 engine in the back

 

I didn't think of that! Clever sopt! Lets not forget that honda, that probably had more than Ł100k under the bonnet (maybe it had a gold engine block?), and then barely opulled away from a 2.0 jetta

As for ultimate spec cossie, a MAD Rod/Ade sort of engine in a concourse condition moonstone blue 3 door with BBS wheels and running gear to match. That would be perfect.

 

My engine in my car, but with a transmission that i could trust, and bigger brakes.
And some nice handling mods.

 

Mine for fast road use. Wrong side of sensible, correct side of extreme. Fast enough to show up most, slow enough to be acceptable.

Track - different story. Beam, suspension, gearbox all would need uprating for it to be enjoyable and safe imo

 

Working on getting her running early next year with the new Borg Warner turbo, should be good for another 30-40 brake on pump fuel currrently working on getting the new hydraulic clutch kit to work - having a couple of problems Tremec gear box is in, along with a bespoke propshaft from Chards of Bristol, it's a work of art lots of Scania sized componants utilised in it's construction!

 

ade what hydraulic clutch kit are you using on your tremec mate?


the spec im using on my saff i am calling the .........ulimate fastroad reliable spec

t34.48,on ported head ,small turbo inlet
