This is an Escort Cossie from Cyprus... Its a road/track car but this year will compete in some drag events in Cyprus and maybe Greece...

The pics are from its previous setup with a HKS T51R KAI and nitrous to spool up on Motec management. It runs 9s easily...

However this year they prepared a new engine with a HKS T51R SPL BB which was builg in the UK !!!!!!!!!! and they said that was dynoed at 1050 bhp without nitrous!!!!!! They used a lot of carbon to lighten the car and a sequential gearbox...

Does anybody know who built the engine ??? Any rumors?

 

Must be the most powerful YB in existence then mate, and possibly the quickest 1/4 for an Escort Cosworth!

Sounds awesome if its genuine! Any more on the spec at all?

 

Ditto!

C'mon more info!

Theres a few users on here in the drag scene, the guy who's Saph went on fire - Hauser Racing - might know about it.

 

fook me!

 

what i remember is that he used to run the HKS T51R KAI, Motec M800 management, RS500 plenum, intercooler, twin fuel pumps, 2 litre bottom end with forged pistons and rods but standard crankshaft, a bog box and he only used the nitrous to spool up the turbo when taking off... his best with the above setup that i saw live was a 9.8/145 qrtr mile.

i m trying to get more info from cypriot friends for his current spec. As i said before the only thing i know for sure is that he's running the biggest HKS turbo (T51R SPL BB), a new sequential gearbox and they used carbon fiber extensively to reduce weight...

 

AGAR, Thats Danny with the Hauser Racing Saph mate

Kouzman, thats a mental time to run with a standard crank, but with the new sequential gearbox he should be in the low 9's.........skyline's run 9's easily with 800-900bhp and alot more weight than an Escort Cosworth!

Any vids mate, as looks and sounds like an awesome car!?

 

1050bhp sounds a bit ott IMO

The car has been around for a while though...as i've got the full resolution piccys and had them for quite a while....

 

Smit, can you post some of those pics up? and i'd love to see a video of this, would be a sweet sweet sound to hear that spool up

 

wow cool

 

Demon - I will this evening as i've just got home from a nightshift

I have quite a few pictures but ain't got a video of it unfortunately

 

no video sorry...
however there was a presentation from a greek tuning magazine with the exact specs and a lot of pics with the T51R KAI setup. This weekend i ll try to scan the pages and post them.

ohhh, another piece of info is that the programmer of Motec tuned the engine himself....

when i have more info about the car i ll post them

 

Smit, get those pics up if you can dude, would be good to see!

 

ok, first sit down and then enjoy pics with the new setup...

i quote 4 figure bhp numbers!!!

check in the second picture the carbon fiber floor.... !!!!!

 

WOW!!!!

 

holy feck, that's the biggest turbo i've ever seen!

 

Awesome car.

145mph Terminal is a lil bit low for a claimed 800bhp in its old spec on such a light car IMO

Its not got the turbo for just about 1000bhp@flywheel. Be interesting to see a dyno sheet or performance times.

You obv not seen many big turbos then! This turbos way bigger for example, and ive seen ones far far bigger on cars, 2500bhp rated turbos...


My turbo is infact physicly a bit bigger than a T51SPL

 

LOL yours looks wayyy bigger!

 

they need to get that car over here

 

 

WOW

thats mega.

i wanna hear it and see it go.

 

bah, excuse me for being a turbo noob. I have to say, i'm feeling inadequate though with my little T2

 

this weekend there is a drag race event in cyprus. I will try to get more photos and maybe video!!!!

i ll try to get photos from the above escos and the white escos with the 300ZX biturbo engine!!!!!

 

Yesterday the car was dynoed 831hp at the wheels with 2.3 bar (approx. 33.8psi) boost pressure, without the use of nitrous (it has a direct port system). Boost can go more than 2.5 bar (37psi)...

 

 

Holy s**t. 831 BHP at the wheels, must be something like 1000+ at flywheel .

 

wild who built it then? some 1 must know

 

is there a pacific performance in the UK? i know that it has fardon crank and rods, and a motec ecu that a chief motec programmer tuned it...

 

dam sounds a beast !!!

 

WOW FOOKING WOW...... I WANT THAT TURBO. he he he. sod it i want that car.

def would love to see it run, or even a video. would be the nuts to see it run at the pod over her, if someone has contact, maybe try and sort it out, im sure alot of people would be up for a day out to see it...

 

 

Surprised the bonnet even goes down with that Turbo on. Looks like something you'd find on a plane!

 

So the race finished!!!

The T51R escos due to some electric problems managed times between 9.5 and 10.1!!!! I think the team wasnt very happy as they expected lower times...

The other 300ZX engined Escos did a 9.2 with 255 kph trap speed!!!!!

Photos from the race and maybe video soon!!!!!

 

I think Simon from SECS has something about this car.

 

 

ok guys i promised PHOTOS and VIDEO from the Cyprus Race....







The White Escos is a Nissan 300ZX engined bi-turbo which managed a 9.2 with 255 kmh trap speed....












and the VIDEO with the two monsters in action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best times for the weekend:

ESCOS 300ZX
1/4 mile: 9.276 / 255.79

ESCOS T51R
1/4 mile: 9.509 / 247.22

 

not to put a downer on it but bloody hell they've been ruined cosmetically

EDIT: still pretty awesome though

 

AWSOME

 

cool vids

 

not a bad bit of footage. How annoying all them greekoids running in the way...

wouldnt mind seeing it in the flesh.......and surely they must be able to fabricater the back bumper to fit....or is it off for a reason.?

 

the rear bumper is missing intentionally. Excess weight and it doesn't mess the aerodynamics that much...

well, the footage is 100% amateur and dont forget that the event was help at an old airstrip, so setting up proper cams etc, its difficult...

i should say that on a proper strip, both cars would be in the high 8s. Front and rear wheel drive cars were spinning half the distance...
