How much power would that take?

Only people who have a clue reply, not bizzare wild guesses please

if you put 1360bhp in, it'll come out with 175mph for a RWD car.

Not bad for a STANDARD RB26 engine eh

Just bolt ons, not even got cams, infact its even got a standard inlet manifold....

around 1350hp mate although its all dependant on the power delivery due to the design of the car, we run 8.1's on street tyre's at 175mph but put slicks on and we could see 7.7's and gain a couple more mph's

Danny B

oops! was too late but not a bad gues aye calculating from my head

Stavros

7.787@176mph

Danny B

that cars on slicks then with very good 60fts??

Stavros

No idea on exactly what tyres, heres the best pic ive got with regard to tyres...


And heres the engine.


stock block
stock connecting rods
stock pistons
stoct head gasket
stock cylinder head
stock cams
stock cam gears
stock timing belt
stock crank
stock intake manifold(slightly modified)

upgrades:
suprs(2jz) coils
motec ecu
nitrous
dry sump oil pump
ATI Balancer
81mm turbo
-10 fuel rail
liberty 5 speed tranny
liquid intercooler

Either way, foooookin mental power from a totally standard RB26 top and bottom end (and inlet manifold) on a car weighing nearly 1100kg

Dont make the mistake of believing those parts can handle that power for more than a couple of minutes though.

I know of a guy drag racing a Vauxhall C20LET engine with well over 600bhp (nearer 700 in fact) and he is using standard rods.
The standard rods are only any good for about 350 reliabley, but he changes them so often (after a couple of mins running) that it doesnt become an issue.

Could well be the same here.
