A mate of mine picked up his 667bhp escos yesterday from MAD came over to mine last night and took me for a short spin all I can say is it made me feel physically sick how fast the car accelerated !!

I've been in various fast cars over the years from 500 fwd Audis to 500hp 2wd cossies but this was a different league al together

Video to follow......

 

Very cool! I went in Harvey Gibbs' old Escort Cosworth, think that was 680bhp on pump fuel and that was pretty nippy. 4WD makes it feel so refined still, so different to a big power 2WD car.

 

Cool. Would live a cossie with this much power.

 

This is the ex-Yum engine running a Borg Warner 300sx. Topend Power is curtailed because of the 3" exhaust a 3.5" system would see circa 700bhp. Transmission will need sorting with 563ft-lb Torque but lots of potential with this car.

 

Cheers Rod, got a few more plans yet for the car

Mark Shead has worked his magic again!!

 

Not much go,s like a yb with over 600bhp lol I've been in rods a few times it's astonishing how hard they pull in gear

 

 

Didn't realise it had Yums old engine. John who's local to me bought it off Dave and I considered buying it when he was selling. Some engine that!

 

Very impressive that, good graph too.

 

0-70 ? You can see the speedo needle clearly. Very quick.

 

That sounds nuts.

 

That's one quick Esc Cos

 

Brutal

 

There is nothing quite like a big power YB to take your breath away.

Mark

 

Crazy, what a beast

 

What a machine

 

Can't wait to get mine going with this turbo on the old girl

 

I get to play with evos and skylines with silly power and I always get asked by friends or relatives 'what's 4,5,6,7,800 bhp actually like?'
Not one of them believe me when I tell them it's so quick shit gets blurry lol.
So out we go. First and second gear ill give it a little squeeze doing no more then 40. Then it's 3rd and a heavy foot. The look of horror on some of there faces is hilarious and seeing grown men trying to wrap themselves round a roll cage hahahahahaha

There really is no way to describe big power.

But for me there is one thing better the blurry ness or being nailed to the seat and that's seeing the face of a bike rider when you leave him for dead.

 

Haha I though it was just me when everything was blurry

 

Went in a proton with an evo engine with 400bhp once thought that was metal can only imagine what that power is like i bet its spine tingling!!

 

Mark,

Is this near the limit of this Turbo or does it have more in it?.

 

You Can't imagine, you have to experience this level of power, it takes your breath away

 

The turbo is rated to 790hp it should do 700hp easily on the ideal set up.

Mark

 

Mine should see close to 700

 

Just organised having a 3.5" exhaust made and also a stronger gearbox.. So hopefully a bit more power for next years. I just want to run a 10 second 1/4 mile and ill be happy

 

Most I've had Ade is when Mark did my last Sapph @ 442 bhp and i thought that was fast, lol, another 300 is just sick

 

I'd say it should dip into the 10's it ran 11.6 with 500hp so I'd say its defo on the cards!!

 

what it like compared to delboys? that's the fastest escos ive been in, I went in that at fight club if you remember? thought that was pretty quick

 

Can't wait, I've now got a Tremec TKO 600 gearbox and custom prop fitted, finally bought a brand new 9" Ford motorsport diff, looking forward to finally being able to launch proper

 

The drive shafts will go next Ade its the next weak link for heavy launches.

 

Night and day mate

 

Indeed it does Ade!

 

savage

 

You're not wrong Rod, you should know! Bara is working on some meaty shafts and group A CV joints, he says they will handle Marks 'beyond normally achievable power and torque figures'

 

I think you were actually scared in mine Ade, said you would never go in it again that was 800bhp though.

 

You were there

 

I was waiting for you to brake coming up to the Marlow roundabout, thought I was going to die

 

If these are referring to the same car - does it weigh a hell of a lot or were you taking it easy? 11.6 doesn't sound that fast for 500bhp.

 

Dose get a little worrying in yours on the road rod lol was ade as nervous a passenger as Neil is 😁

 

I'd say 11.6 @ 118 mph in a fully trimmed road car with road tyres is a very respectable time
