Thats exactly what I heard it was for too

Awesome engine but I'm quite sure someone admitted it wouldn't last much more than a 1/4 mile at a time

 

[/quote]1000bhp? Sounds tasty, whats your engine spec?[/quote]

Sorry mate

 

Ah I see, makes perfect sense if its just for the dyno and not to go into a car!

 

I think Martin's is the highest UK spec engine that can last all day on the track and isn't a drag monster (which due to the high compression etc, are designed to run flat out for no longer than 10s at a time).

I would also advise that I don't belive ANY of the Norwegian power figures, as Martin's car CREAMED the top spec cars at Gatebil down the MAIN STRAIGHT, whilst not even running full boost .

However, I expect Rod's will more than likely exceed that when finished - time will tell .

 

A lot better than my Norwegian!!

 

Thanks mate

 

Apparently so but surely Jenspeed aren't going to bullshit that much ?

I do agree though that most things out there appear to have 800 + hp which is hardly heard of over here

 

"Most things out there...."? 800hp+ engines in norway can be counted on one hand....

 

IMO 800+bhp engines in Norway can be counted on Arabic thief's hand .

 

HAHA good one!

 

What about that monster from Greece? 1092bhp but I think it was incl gigglegas.

 

Drag car's don't count, they are set up so close to the edge that they can only run flat out for 10s at a time - any more than that and they will grenade themselves. This allows you to get away with things you could NEVER do on a road / track car.

 

Yes, but Fredde's Escort did a 10.04 second quarter, with fully interior, synchronized MT75 (with Fixit gears) and 18" rims with streettires. Surely that can't be too far of the claimed 750 BHP can it?

 

Kev Sharp did 10.3 I think with about 600hp & fully trimmed as far as I know ? ? ?

Kev can confirm that, so would guess Fredde's Escort was runnin bout 660hp maybe a touch more ? ? ?

JB, Kev used a 7 speed FFD Dogbox. Fredde uses a shonky 5 speed Syncro FIXIT.

HUGE difference mate.

 

Just remembered another highspec Cossie.
Rolf's (don't remember his lastname) 779bhp 3dr (RS500spec)? That's a trackcar.

 

The topic doesnt say "non drag cars" so IT doesnt differntiate, so I dont see why you are doing?

If the topic was about "reliable road cars" then fair enough, but it doesnt appear to be written in that context to me.

 

Chip,
Someone else further down the thread on the first page wanted it qualified, so I felt from then on it needed to for this person .

 

i know of of at least 5 700+hp cars run in hill climb events.

also know of 3-4 x cross cars that run silly BHP aswell.

 

You mean because someone said so?

In that case, mine has 7,564.2 bhp @ 17,000rpm on low boost with race fuel made from angel piss .

 

mike, i dont think people like jullian godfrey, pat doran, will gollop, andreas gabat really need to bullshit do they

stick to your t4OE's and low comp

 

what octane is angel piss

 

also mike, yes that is all i've got to go on, unless anyone that ever states a figure was in the dyno room when the engine was benched then thats all you can ever go on

 

Group A engine

where?

 

Group A is 800 hp spec over there

More fudged dyno figures obviously

 

I'm not saying ANYTHING other than: Speak to Pat about his engine and the power it made, compared to the power was claimed it should make . Suffice to say, it's now tuned elsewhere (as are a LOT of the Rally-x engines) and with a lower figure is producing better times than ever .

 

who tunes it now then mike?

 

who do you think gareth, if mike knows about it

 

i didnt want to assume

 

Not by whom Ryan thinks .

I'm sure a quick search on t'internet will reveal all .

 

still says jullian on his website

 

I sensed that Mike's cock was twitching as he wrote that, so it can ONLY be harvey

2.0 litre Julian Godfrey Engineering Cosworth YB in-line four cylinder, DOHC, four valves per cylinder, alloy cylinder head, cast-iron block

I heard it was now being looked after by an Ex-Mountune employee, but that's probably as reliable as your 700bhp figures .

 

who,,, EA?

hope they aint doing the exhaust manifolds

 

.

 

Now that's funny

 

what a pity that uk people dont believe the bhp`s in the norwegian cars!

 

i do,but with such huge turbos the power is probably made at 7600-8000rpm thus getting raped by tommy on track in a 400bhp escos
