Saw this for sale and looks immense. Forget your 500-600hp cossies for 25k this has to be the bargain of the century! If it is a genuine 800+hp the acceleration must be phenomenal

Looks a damm good spec and nice car,wonder if it is know on Scoobynet or such

 

If the horsepower is genuine it will be an absolute missile! And a bit of a bargain if you got it for Ł25k.

 

If that's genuine power which it must be close too with that engine and mods, complete bargain. Andy forest runs one of these engines in his car at 1000hp and it runs 8's!

 

The thing that worries me is it appears to be on standard sized brakes

 

Imagine what it would cost to have a yb built to that power.

 

its a 3.3 nowhere near comparable, a 3.3 at 800 hp is the equivelant of a 2.0 yb at 485 hp.

that's how I always view it power per litre of displacement and there is no replacement for displacement

 

A lot (35k?)

 

At least I'd have thought

 

That's true, am quite surprised to see a twin turbo setup, I thought normally this type of thing was ditched for a large single.

 

if it was straight 4 or 6 it probably would be on a single mate, id assume as its a v engine that's why its still twin, when I get an r35 that will be staying twin for sure

 

The Charlie shaw cosworth focus is 1000 bhp

 

My mates R32 Skyline was / is 900 + ATWs, lucky git also has a 600 + R35 too

 

Even if the figure isn't genuine it's still going to be a bloody quick car with those bits on it

 

Was thinking that too lol

 

Its a flat 6 engine, not a V. Like the standard EJ20 engine but with an extra two cylinders added!!


Jolly Green Monster (bright green type R) runs the same engine and he runs twin turbos too.

Yeah i was going down Daz but working

I think he'll do well at Brands tbh

 

He will win !!!!
Its so powerfull theres nothing to touch it in the series,
1000HP atw and it puts it down !!!
Anyway back on topic
If I had the money

 

25k wow.I would still rather have a minty mint escos.

 

it still has a manifold either side doesn't it ? as far as I understand it its 3 either side so the same principal as a v engine.

 

You're correct, I'm just being pernickety! The pistons are flat (3 each side horizontally opposed) as opposed to being in a V.

 

theres a build thread for this over on 22b forum

 

Same principal yes, however, definitely not a V... which is what you said it was above and was what the lad was correcting you on. So as far as I understand it; whether they are similar or not is irrelevant.

as said the standard brakes are worrying. potentially 2.5 times standard power!

 

look the actual question was about why its twin turbo actually which imo is because of the engine layout, if it was a straight 6 it would more than likely be a massive single.
yes I maybe should have said flat 6 but the engine is layed out 3 pistons on each side and that is all that's really relevant to the point im making no matter how pedandic you want to be about it.

 

would be massively worrying if it is genuinely 800 hp as it will be insanely fast and doing 150 mph by the time your average car is still struggling upto 60 lol

 

Correct.

Yes, you should have, because that would have been correct... but you got it wrong, which should have been no big deal to accept?!

...all that is irrelevant to the point you made originally and the point I am making now. You said it was a V6, I was going to correct you but as I kept reading, I saw that lad come along and correct your mistake quite nicely/politely, with a photo too, as you'd expect in such a friendly community of car enthusiasts.

Yet your reply came across as very snippy and like what he said was irrelevant bollox and that in principal, what you'd said was right.. when what you'd actually said was completely, 100% wrong. Since you'd never actually mentioned anything about principals of 3-cyl per bank/side and had gone firmly down the 'it's a V6' route with your comment and R35 chat.

I didn't like that and thought it was pretty rude, hence why I pulled you up on it and felt the need to comment. HTH.

Standard size brakes on them are decent. And just because you accelerate fast to 150bhp, doesnt mean you immediately jump on the brakes hard every single time.

They arent cossie brakes after all. They're already 326x30mm discs with decent 4 pot calipers, and similar size at the rear.

I'm sure he has decent discs and pads fitted though.

I see that Scooby slayer had written v instead of flat or boxer but I knew what he was getting at with regards to the twin turbo question so felt no need to correct him, so im sure you lot knew what he was talking about too so I have no idea why if you knew his point why you would even bother to correct unless it was looking to start a bit of bitching

 

^^^For the sake of it I think lol, which is how a lot of threads on here turn to shit, as for the car, if it's as powerful as it's claimed to be I'm sure it's mentally fast, but it's still bloody horrible imo

 

that how I see it mate I certainly don't see it as rude lol

 

ah fair play I assumed they would be smaller than that must be up to the task then, like on a r32 gtr the brakes aren't great at all tbh no good for anything above 400 hp in my opinion.

 

edited best I don't reply tbh

 

It's a H6 motor, very similar to a Porsche flat 6 in that respect.
The turbos fitted are 450bhp capable each so the power figure is very realistic.
As said, JGM and Andy Forrest run the H6 motor to serious effect too. Weapon of a car and at a bargain price.
Even with 2 tiny turbos, these things make mega power.

 

Would hardly say it's a bargain of a price to use the flat 6.. It's a lot more expensive than a 4cyl in many ways

The biggest benefit is a much wider power range, and hopefully less stress on the engine due to it's larger size for any given power output.

But cheap it is not.

Looks rapid!

As said, andy forrest is running this engine and he ran a 8.41 quarter at totb. (Ok the hawk is still a full fat, fully trimmed car)

But it looks pret good. My only issues would be the size or lack of, the fuel cell
