Boost rules

don't think we'll quite be running Cossie Rich boost on this little v10

CossieRich

iTrader: (1)

thats because you have about 8 litre displacement

you should try 2.6 bar though

Turbosystems

8.3 litres and push rods

It will make silly silly hp and lb/ft

Look forward to a proper build thread about it

at least the gt35's won't surge
how to cure your surging gt 35 cosworth fit 2 and a viper 8.3 litre push rod engine
the engine spec will be high compression, don't want to suffer with it being gutless low down roflol

saw this on display at ford fair - loved it

bj928

u might have seen me at lydden hill at the bhp show, but i'm back in america now, so u will have seen chris driving it in swalecliff

2wdsaph ben

It was at the bhp show. Ok mate didn't realise two of you drove it.

bj928

chris has put some poxy bucket seats in it and i don't fit, so i haven't even driven it yet, or been passenger, i cam back to america straight after bhp show and before it was on the road, hope to have a play at xmas, when i come back to the uk, and me and chris can start my fast project ready for next summer.

Yeah, get it bought! Err.. isn't a Whipple what nunns wear? Will have to look it up. It does sound like a cool project.

To be fair to the YB producing big reliable power, haven't heard much about people running the ally blocks so far, this might be the solution to big horsepower reliability, but at Ł4k a pop I'm not suprised at the "low takeup". I'd be interested to see what difference it makes to stability for big pwr engines and if they're worth their money would give the crank an easier time too.
In theory the smaller the engine the better.............. But theory be damned when a near stock motor makes 600hp on the rollers and the car would run 11's all day just needing a service every 12,000. lol

2wdsaph ben

Good luck then mate with your project. Seems like there some decent fords coming up in this area again.

Your Crazy! Them things produce 550bhp in the RAM pick up as STD! Fook me thats in a Sierra! I LIKE

hi all i will be doing and thread on the full build with all the pic and videos

bj928

blow me, chris, u is posting on PF, let me sit down , will get axle sorted asap, along with one for my project, i'll ask the guy about the 2.47 axles as ur staying 4 stud, but my guess is u will have to run the 2.73, i have got a spare brand new genuine ford 2.73 crownwheel and pinion if we break one,

Just watched the vids of the car on you tube at the pod. Thats a quick car.

draftdodgers

I think it was only running on about 8 & 1/4 cylinders that day as well, due to blocked injector feed pipes, or something or other. It did look fast being there watching it as well.

I don't know first hand, but from everything I've heard the handling's not bad. As bj928 pointed out it's an all ally engine and mounted quite well back in the body. Don't know the weight of a YB off hand, not much, but there's some extra associated weight with manifold, turbo, intercooler, pipework etc.

Spoke to Chris the owner today sounds like hes got some cool plans for it over winter

draftdodgers

Hello Chris, I thought that's what you said. What times is it going to do then? Though there's no point in guessing.

Paul.

thanks, i think it's the way PF recodes the link as it does some sort of vin decoder shit try pasting the text between the quotes directly into your browser:

Was it you at pod today? I was there in my 205, for a moment I thought we was going to race, but at the last minute he called you up

For your last run

iTrader: (15)

What happened to it ?

iTrader: (1)

205 was creaming it lol

bj928

yes it was, it launched well on the last run but when chris snatched 2nd it popped the slave and jammed the clutch, so no drive but all gears, shame as it was a good launch

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

yeah, looked a good launch,

at least it wasnt nothing too serious

bj928

it means engine and box out again, but as u say, not to serious, just love american parts prices, super car engine and box, replacement slave delivered from america about Ł80 maybe Ł100 with the tax and duty,

Ah bummer, but still a cheap fix
