I'm going to want at least 700 I don't think any of the smaller efr would be suitable, if it ends up at say 750 hp on pump fuel I think the 9180 is what's needed, currently has a 1.4 turbine housing on but that is going to be changed to the 1.05 for better response

I think it’s more of an on the move car than a quarter mile car thing is insane fast on the move. I bet you can’t wait to pick it up and see how it fairs to the r35 or previous cars you have had. I’m very jealous if honest lol

This is what I did for my dad, bought a 65 ton d9l
Then we fitted it up to a scraper and made it all work, it is one of the biggest tractor and box combinations used in the world today
It's now fitted up with a blade and ripper on ready for a job in the new year
It was a labour of love for me, like a last thing I could do for my dad when he passed away
and it celebrated the 50th anniversary of the contracting company that started in 1967

Just to see 140 mph flag up at pod would make me smile irrelevant to what the time is
Most I got in the supra was 134 mph iirc
Gtr isn't built for alot of santa pod launching the transmission won't take it, but the jag diff and tremec box in the saph should be fine, just for shits and giggles

Mine is likely to be 600 ish on my 2.2 as I am using a much smaller Turbo. But I do have 3.9 and close ratio box with shorter gears and 16 inch wheels. I think it is a few hundred kilos lighter than a Cossie though (and 4wd)

Yeah but it did work like that and it was shockingly fast and as rod would say it was the gearing that helped with traction

I know each was a totally different setup.
I think at that kinda power and with a monster turbo without a sequential box the acceleration will never be blisteringly quick

I was looking at the 620 hp zz chevy motors and thinking about buying a new one and puitting it in a chevelle but if I do its another car the missus wont drive as its bonkers
so with getting rods saph I have my mad rwd monster I want, and then I can get a more sensible muscle car for me and the missus to drive
something like this
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1972-Chevrolet-Chevy-Chevelle-2-door-Coupe/202415006030?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.S EED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Df0f0e 0c2fe9041c7b1f1ecdb0659fad1%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D 2%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D232681965379%26it m%3D202415006030&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_t rkparms=pageci%3Ae6dc99c0-02f9-11e9-a5c6-74dbd18083e9%7Cparentrq%3Ac2c2a5101670ab10a45e827a fffce5da%7Ciid%3A1
also in talks with a guy that has a 1972 Chrysler charger with a 400 hp 452 in it, plus that's rhd which is a plus point for us

I don’t know the car as well as you do obviously but I find that hard to believe mate, Lee Tib was still quicker at acceleration and quarter stuff with hundreds of less hp.
I know each was a totally different setup.

I think it will be very interesting too see the car mapped on full boost with good power. See what some real world times in gear are with your timing equipment. A lot are interested in 0-60 1/4 mile time. As a huge power rwd car I’ve never really see them as it’s strong point. Don’t get me wrong it was quick lol. I always thought it’s strong point was up on the move 3rd and 4th on wards it was always shocking how fast it got a move on and wouldn’t stop pulling. In them situations as well I don’t think it had any huge traction issues in the dry on the road

I think it’s safe to say we are all interested in the power and times it produces once Carl makes it his own and is happy with it.
Gives eveyone else some time to get our cars all up and running too lol
Cheers Paul

it is great that the car has such a rich history
I bet it will slay a few Scoobies in future...not that you meet many on the road anymore which is a shame. Where did they all go as they sold loads and used to be a common sight?

30-130 and 60-130 are great tests for these kind of cars
Always got the option to fit a 3.9 in it if I can't get on with it, my r33 had a very big first gear but I still managed I think a 3.6 0-60 in it, il have to take a look at the files should be some in my r33 thread on here
