Default Building a 1k+ hp Lambo Diablo

music's shit but I imagine this'll be fairly nippy once done, should imagine it costs a few quid too. Immaculate, factory like finish

Have seen lots of stuff from NRE and i'm never impressed with any of it tbh. They get alot of work and clearly theres lots of money involved but some of the design and alot of the comments they make are questionable. I wouldnt trust them to build my lawn mower.

Quick spool valve is a gash fix(that often doesnt work) for when you chose the wrong turbo imo.

Haha, no ive not even thought about building one tbh.

Whats so impressive about it? Its doing the equivilent(hp/cc) as a 350hp yb, not exactly pushing the boundries.

hi guy who i bought a twin turbo chevy engine off bought an all alloy small block chevy twin turbo off nre ,i saw it when i collected my engine it had billet inlet that was a work of art ,he fitted in his car first time out went 240 mph after few tweaks went 264 i think ,when they down loaded from ecu it had run 12 psi of 32 and has been totally reliable i think its a bit unfair to says his parts are not very good ,a lot of his motors are 1800 bhp street motors

it was more the packaging that impressed me - it looks absolutely stock in what i'm sure is a very cramped bay anyway with some nice fab work. I'd be amazed if it doesn't piss past 4 figures, as you say it's hardly massively stressed at that point. Underground racing do a similar thing with twin turbo'ing fezza's

I just think there are better options out there. Underground, Heffner, Covert would all get my vote before NRE. Get a bit bored of Tom Nelson's built this, fully built that, nice 'cams'. 1800 street motor......on race fuel.

Rare that any tuners over here get to play around with such big cc's but it would be interesting to see what the usual suspect over here could do.
