No name user 379 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 So little update for amusement its been dyno'd and front cleaned up, made 487hp on 11.8 psi on 95 pump, stock motor done 287,000km never had the head off. Only mods are the DTM cams and my own intake manifold and exhaust headers, runs A048 for every day rubber which it sort of needs since it makes 1396 ft/lb at the wheels so pulls average i guess. Sits at just under 1400kg's now after fitting fibre glass front yet to do the back, made own billet quick shifter seems to do the job etc. New motor on the stand yet to so in with all the go fast bits in it ill then lean on it harder sadly will need to tub the rear for wider rubber to make use of anymore power ( kills the rears now on semi's in 4th, private road for the PC sensitive ) Box is still a 260G got a bunch of 6 speeds lined up for change of motor, not a rainy day car ! 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 117 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Still trying to get my head around the torque, that's insane, I assume I'll be able to find more info in other threads on the engine management/ turbo it's running? So much respect! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So much respect! Divide by diff ratio to get actual engine torque. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No name user 379 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) M50B25 Turbo : IHI RX8 ( comes off a 96 Lola Indy Car ) ECU : Autronic SMC Yep divide the torque by the diff ratio = around 400 Ft/lb motor, in saying that Polley its still 1396 Ft/lb wheel and never blown a head gasket to date !

polley 916 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 why the engine change? Can't beat the sound of a v8. I still have the m50 setup, car is setup for both engines, can swap between them in a few hours if I need more go fast. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
