I think this guy desereve a few questions just for fun

turbo terry

whats a 3.7 ultimax>??? what lumps that//?? the cossie v6/??

swerv

thats mild bullshit compared to some of the real cossies on there

caprixpack

there is a company that does a 3.7 conversion for the 2.8i cologne engine that was used in the xr4i

RigPig

it will beat mine at the mo as it wont fooking start

pugo

autocraft sve do a 3.7 v6 conversion and its a fookin animal....loadsa torque no lag, just pure unadulterated power and yes it would fookin eat a std cossie for brekky

so maybe the advert ain't bullshit

caprixpack

would love one for my capri

the strut brace

sent him this, lets see what his responce is???

hi , can you tell me exactly what cosworth this car eats, it has the same power as the a totaly standard cozzie and weighs a lot more , are you referring to the granada cosworth by any chance

the strut brace

aye but like he says p.e. built it not sve and with 210bhp and a kerb weight of the number 27 to london i think he is talkin poooooooo!

are those things 4x4 or rwd btw

JayKay

XR4i is RWD
Xr4x4 is, well, self explanatory innit

its will kill a standard cossie, fooking wall of torque from 2000 rpm to 5500. but a good stage 1 should see it off.

the strut brace

this is response

HI BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS 315POUND FOOT TORQUE. WITH NO TURBO TO WAIT FOR.IT IS INSTANT POWER FROM THE WORD GO.AND ALSO THE ENGINE ALONE IS 210 BHP WITH OUT OTHER MODS SO IT MIGHT BE MORE IT HAS NOT BEING ON A ROLLING ROAD ANY MORE QUESTIONS I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER

how does he know what the power and torque is if its never been tested

pugo

perhaps he is quoting from a general dyno printout supplied from the engine supplier
if you went to julian godfrey and said build me a 400bhp engine, would you not say "my engine is 400bhp" ????????

like most people put greens ,a 3bar, a t34 turn up the boost and then say i have a 300bhp cossie
although knowing those engines (mate had one in a 4i) i wouldn't say he is that far off

and he is also right , he would trounce a std cossie

why are you set on this guy being a b/shitter???

because as far as i can see, he hasn't said anything that sounds like crap

ImaRacing 700

Pete why is he a dreamer With 210bhp he IS a Cosworth eater...just not a modified Cosworth eater.

the strut brace

pugo , im not set on this guy being a bullshitter if its got a genuine 310lb torque, it was the 210 brake in a much heavier car than a cossie that got me doubting the cossie killer bit.power to weight ratio an all that, may well be if its got that much torque.

Jim Galbally

sorry strutbrace but i think you'll find he's right

that SHOULD beat a standard cossie any day of the week.

youre missing the point that a cossie has 200bhp @ about 6000rpm, but at 3k? 4k? 5?
nowhere near that...

whereas a 3.7 will have good useable power all that way thru the midrange. just rememebr that PEAK bhp dont mean much... its only a measurement of max power, not overall power

doubt it'd fair too well against a stg1 car mind...

I raced an Ultimax 3.7 XR4x4 in my stg1 small turbo EsCos and the XR out accelerated me NP. They are damn rapid. There is a twin turbo Ultimax XR4i in Nottingham that has been dynoed at 450bhp/420ftlb. Its one of the fastest point to point cars I have ever been in.
