Obviously proven not pub talk 'guestimated' figures, (without NOS too) surely C&B's is the biggest bhp FWD Ford (or any RS Focus more BHP?) sorry I can't remember what they got recently?

Just went to a Clio r/r day at BB Tuning on Sunday, their 16v 1.8 Clio turbo'd engined R5 got a result of 378bhp at the fly! (with 325 lb ft torque and 345.4bhp at wheels) Which got me thinking this must be up there with some of the top FWD figures?

i know mikes car (fiesta rst) made 340 ATW on robs new dyno recently

look it up on the r5gt forums, and the golf ones

i have seen a fwd golf do a 12 sec quarter, easy

 

Dont know currently, but mine will be 500bhp+ soon

There are a few 400bhp+ FWD vauxhalls (off gas) too, Neil Adams for example.

 

what car's that?

vauxhall?

 

isnt it that Rover Andy something

 

isnt there a bloke with a rover turbo that done 0-60 in the 4's or something . same bloke who was at TOTB with the maestro with a tomcat turbo engine i think.

Obvouslly once Sunnys gets his done he'll be right up there again

 

andy nichols has a SILLY amount of power yeah

 

Are you pulling my leg?!

Blimey, be interesting to compile a top 20 fwd, (especially against engine size) anything over 300bhp is an achievement in my books let alone 400+! Can't imagine getting traction in any of these is easy.

There's a guy called Nim on the FFOC whose Focus RS puts out a proven 420bhp

 

i own a r5 GTT, so im on the rtoc boards, our fastest quarter mile is 11.4 with the c1j engine (1.4)

 

yeh he's in this months fast ford/performance ford, if im not mistaken its blew the headgasket halfway throu the feature.

 

Andy Nicholls's Rover 200 is easily most powerful at mo.

3bar boost (held, honestly) through a GT35R

 

Is that on a road car?
If so its very quick.

If its on slicks etc, its ok i guess.

 

No, click the link in my siggy.

Its the engine for my mini.

Should be WELL over 500bhp.

 

Dean hollinworths R5gtt is 329bhp still being run it at the mo.

Also a 5 on the rtoc forum ran a 11.2 in oct last year
was there at the pod and blimey does it shift

 

Road trim or drag trim?

Quick either way though still obviously

 

IIRC that 11 sec R5 is not road legal (the white one with perspex windows?), I saw it run at the national day - sorry I should've stipulated that - I also mean BHP not quarter mile, BB's R5 would be shite at 1/4 mile no traction

In a mini?! lol it would need anchoring to the ground! (I'll go have a look at the thread...)

Sunnys new engine will be over 600bhp.

 

AN Racings car (Andy Nicholls) has 500+bhp maybe alot more through the front wheels, think he's ran an 11.4 sec 1/4 with 170+ Top Speed at the mo

I've heard quotes around that it might be nearer 700bhp but think thats abit much realistically!

 

3bar (44psi) held boost on a 1.05 ex' housing GT35R, and Nitrous.

How much power you THINK that should be then, realisticly...

177mph way before even the crest thats half way down brunters, with no traction.

 

Yeah i think it will be a bit pointless, but i just wanted to build an engine to that spec for something to do really.
Doubt in reality it will actually be any quicker up the quarter than a nearly standard 300bhp calibra turbo would be.

 

If its not making 700bhp on that spec, then AN obviously doesnt know what he is doing IMHO

Its got that sort of power written all over it i reckon.

 

as said sunny's new engine should be pretty potent

 

How the fuck do I know Steve!? Thats why I wrote that i've 'heard' that figure banded around, I'm not a tuner neither do I know anything about the correlation between turbo's, boost or exhaust housings etc!

If he has got that power thats awesome, and if he's got 'no traction' doing 177mph half way down a runway then i'd love to it run 'wtih' traction

 

your coment above sounded like you know exactal what your were talking about

 

My point exactly, thats trying to say he dont believe it for some reason.

So I asked why.

As there nothing about that car for me not to believe that.

 

Not entirely pointless, would prove it could be done, have to keep yourself amused somehow!

Z

 

Yep, i tend to switch between building engines and masturbating.

Havent built many engines recently though

 

Don't start asking Chip those kind of reaching questions

 

theirs 2 fives one thats runs a 11.4 (the white one, not road legal)
then the 11.2 which is road legal but it ran slicks!

this year he should get in the high tens, the car is as amazing piece of kit!!

 

IMHO, if it ran slicks its a drag car not a road car, the fact it would be road legal on a different set of tyres makes no difference to me, its still NOT road legal when it ran.

 

Ah didn't know that, still I was asking BHP figures rather than 1/4 mile, thats impressive for a 'lil old R5!

Z

 

i think both andy nicholls cars are over 500bhp. his meastro is quick but hes given that to his brother i believe and he now uses a mg zr and that is even quicker they are both awesome bits of kit though

 

Is that the r5 that does the Hill climbs? white with red at the front that a fast lil car that seen it a few time as Prescott Hill Climb

 

rs daz yeh it is, it sounds the pengiuns pods

 

Ok ok its a US car but nothing will touch it in the UK





Cortney Greens 802whp Civic

 

the car that won totb last year in the top speed and quatermile is
paul johnsons fiesta
and that was without nos and he has now fitted bigger turbo and nos the new style one and will see over 600 bhp without nos and around 700 bhp with it
the car is a also proven
thanks jc

 

Is Pj now running nos.

Fuck me I heard he was swapping over to t6 etc but is he off for 200?

 

he is looking at 200 mph plus 10 second quarters and he is well on the way
he has had some runs recently with timing gear and has done some unbeliveable times
i dont want to put them up as he is getting quicker and quicker
but i no he has done a sub 8 seconds to 100
without the nos
the wizards are sponsoring him this year at totb and they have hired brunters to set his car up
and some mag is featuring the day so i dont want to burst there buble but trust me it will take some beating
thanks jc

 

Sub 8 to a 100!

Fair fucks.
