Epic thread and Epic Car!
really cant wait to see this chewing up and spitting out everything that goes up against it! a ford for the history books!

James_RScos

Just EPIC, im really lost for words, you think youve seen it all in a Ford and then something like this comes along.

Out standing, you really need to come and compet in TOTB next year, http://www.totb.co.uk/home/

Thanks ALOT guys!

We just hit the wall when the paint job got f***cked up... and summer kicked inn!

Car is complete in many ways, but we decided that giving it another winter would be the right thing... then I could afford having the one off wheels made up, and give all the final touches 100% effort and not just throw it togheter in the last minute...

Beeing a dad , working 120% in a very demanding job+++ takes its toll on the energy and you get tired basicly...

I promise we will give 100% from now on again and get the car to it's final level

Again, thanks alot for the support guys, Both me and Ingar really appreciates it!!

Your car will quite simply be 1 of the most awe inspiring cars on planet earth. let alone plant ford. Bring on 2300bhp. Lol simply manic.

Fast Beetle

That's fucking awesome

I think if you are gona be bringing the car out in 2010 mate and you can afford the different turbo then why not go all out and take it to 2010 bhp.

Can't wait to see the car when it is finnished but I do think that everyone involved in the build has more than earned a bit of a break from the car, I for one will definitely be keeping my eyes open on here so good luck with the rest of the build and enjoy the break from the car if you can mate.

FezzaBoy87

2010bhp. lol absolutly positively bonkers. Incredible work, incredible car.

Zzz...Zzz

Test fitted twin Garret GT4094R's on the car last night, and actually there's room for them!

So now guess i'll just have to sell off my two brand new 'netics turbo's and "go really large" as the capacity of the 4096's is a few hundred hp over the ones I have now.

Paint also coming along now so now we're soon on to just fettle with details and final touches of the build!

Slik Johnson

When do we get to see more pictures?

FezzaBoy87

So what kind of power r we talking now? 3000bhp? lol

awsome car and awsome work throughout mate

shoot me down guys but i still think mk2 granadas are one of the nicest looking cars

SWR

Not unless there's any plans for a 1000 bhp shot of nitrous... the GT4094R's deliver just about 1050 hp at the absolute max. Each.

Any more updates.

Zzz...Zzz

My friend did 1093hp on a 2.5 liter inline 5 audi engine last year on e85 , so i guess between 1000 and 1090 is the aboslute maximum the 4094r can perform..

Zzz...Zzz

not anything worht seeing..yet

FezzaBoy87

won't u have two gt4094r's tho?

Zzz...Zzz

Yes, i will have two of them

kniterider

WOW! this is the first time iv seen this thread...iv heard of it but didnt realise it was such an amazing project. the fabrication that has gone ito this is amazing!!!

id love to see an end price to this

hats of to you and your team this must take some mad dreams and make you completely mad to be waking up and deciding to do it!!!!


and am i rite in thinking your going for around 2000bhp????

what torque figures are you looking at?

and a top speed?

hats off fella!

Zzz...Zzz

Glad you enjoyed spending time reading about it

Yeah, I wanted something very extreme and very different, guess it gonna be just that..

We have decided to use the small turbos for starters, and get a feeling of the car. They run out of air at about 1750hp.
We actually have put alot of effort of the engine design(heads) in making as "little" torque as possible, instad giving the engine good reving capability with good Hp numbers over the rev range(will rev to 9500) and less torque.
Nevertheless it will produce somwhere -+ 1500nm over a very(almost too) broad range.

Top speed? haha, how fast would you go in a granada shaped car?
Will easily do abit above 300km/h, as I did 296km/h with the YB in it.

This is gonna be a pure animal when its done.

timrud

Just a quick question...

Your hoping for just over 2000bhp, and you have chosen two turbos that can max out at just over 1000bhp each.

Would it not be wiser to go for bigger turbos not working as hard to get the same result?

Zzz...Zzz

I KNOW the engine can produce above 2k hp, and withstand it(for a while at least!!) :P

The turbos fitted now max out at about a +- 1700'ish number.

The garret 4096's I test fitted to see if there was space enough, can take it just above 2000hp on the E85 fuel it is intended to run on, as we have that available at alot of regular gas stations over here where I live.

But, we have chosen to go with the smaller turbos for startes as it most likely will be crazy enough with those as well.
If the need for even more power arises, a switch to the 4096's will most likely be made.

stevieturbo

Faster than a lot of people might think they can go

Zzz...Zzz

Even without a roll cage!!

But at 185mph I experienced no problems at all tough..
