thats 520 lbs of torque at 3500 revs pmsl
using morrisons £1 a litre e85 pump fuel. and it still isnt finished!
im selling up and buying an evo.

 

Quite an achievement on the engine front but what a completely pointless car. If any of these 1000bhp road cars were used to their potential there'd be bits of gearbox all over the floor before you could get to the end of the road. do people have them built just for bragging rights?

 

you'd be amazed just how similar the internals of the two engines are!

 

surely to god if you have spent 20+ grand on an engine you would get the transmission and the rest of the car upto the same standard? or is that just me been stupid

 

the white one in ireland had a standard box.

 

You've not seen this Escort powered by a YB then?

Seen that one yes but how many 1000hp evo's compared to the YB, this ain't a dig at YB tuners.

 

YEP!!!

I'm sure one of the 1000bhp norris lumps went into a car owned by a 20 year old with a rich dad lol. 'daddy daddy i want 1000bhp...... ok son'

 

what a wanker sorry just had to say it lol

 

______

 

mental power from such a small engine ,pitty its jap though

 

YB designed in 1983

4G63 designed in 1991

 

no body is developing the yb that far any more, and anyone willing to spend decent money on a car have something else instead. The fact that a yb with nearly 1120 wheel bhp exists proves that the yb can make the power and doesn't struggle to make 900.

 

and continually developed there after.

 

I know tht the 1120bhp proves it can make the power, was just a question of why so many Evo's were 600-700plus compared to the YB. The questions been answered now

 

Plenty of cossies that dont have the transmissions to cope with the power they make......................

 

ok its just been being silly then lol

 

Such as YUM, hence why he broke it.

 

Surely he never broke it 'cos of that?

Benni.

 

Well he couldn't run anywhere near full power and must of feared it was going to break every time he took it out.

He wouldn't even go an a RR with it!

Certainly the vibe I picked up from his posts.

 

At the end of the day this IS why building half of these cars is pointless, the overall packages are not upto the job and so the cars are merely used for not much more than willy waving competitions.

Don't get me wrong 600hp in YUM must of been ballistic BUT it still broke a gearbox and it may of done another even at that power, quite pointless IMO to only have a dyno printout but not re write the record book as it was made out it would do.

I'm using YUM as an example but there are MANY other cars out there like that, the key is having a good overall package and lets face it very few can afford that. Atleast with that they realised the hassle, took a step back and thought fuck it it needs to go as where does it stop !

It has taken me that long to realise it with my own car, several engine changes later I realised I needed a car that when I open it up isn't likely to break somewhere costing me a few grand or even worse 10k plus to repair, you have to live within your means and half of these cars do push people beyond on that but they choose not to look at it that way.

 

Very true Jonny!

Hence why I didn't bother with a huge power LET, just gone for an XE track car I can rag, fix then rag again!

I'm leaving the chasing figures to the willy wavers!
