[cougar]

wow what a monster very

[mattG]

nutts , has it got a 316i badge on the back

[boomer]

Mother of God, that is insane

[Ant]

that is a clear case of too much power.

liking it- a lot

[dark_sounds]

MUHAHAHAHA the fun you could have with that!

[320Touring]

video aint working for me

[Geeman]

Hmmm... will they ever get it out of first gear and dare drive it any faster...?

[Jos]

lol.. thats 631bhp.. and 592 lbft of torque!! Wonder if they uprated the chassis to stop it from snapping in half!

And it goes to show what you can get into that enginebay!!

[E30Mark]

And it goes to show what you can get into that enginebay!!

looks like half of the engine isn't in the engine bay...

[dips346]

need to get my one done...........

[jonb]

yes. thats around 600bhp, probably at the wheels also.

you could expect more from this engine. but thats got reliable power.

the torque on that thing is unreal. notice how is spins the wheels from idle. thats crazy.

[jonb]

car looks like a nasty turd though.

[Silverfang]

Utter... insanity, it's almost as bad as the Rover SD1 in PPC! (For those not in the know, it's got a 27 litre Meteor engine from a tank on home made injection and the possiblity of twin T88 turbos! )

[Jon_Bmw]

805 Nm of torque, hmm puts my 350 NM audi to shame

Council car, but no one is going to keep up to see that wrong rear spoiler

Have you heard the vid of that being started with no exhaust headers on it?! I am sure it was heard a mile away!

Those engines FI really well too, the Meteor is the same engine as the Merlin fitted in Spitfires and Lancaster Bombers too I think, only it's supercharged in the aircraft (for pressure reasons at altitude rather than power)

You mean this video? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 4477077608

Sounds insane, and yes the Supercharger was for altitudes to keep the air pressure in the manifold at sea level, not to boost power as you'd first think.

[stevetigger]

You mean one of these!

[Geoff]

Thats just plain ridiculous. IMO cars like this are just a bragging rights tool. In the real world im confident a lesser powered car would a) out accelerate it and b) work better around a track.

The thing is it has too much power for the car to cope with. Suspension wise, chassis wise, wheel size wise, its just not adequate enough.

But dont get me wrong, a serious bit of inginuity to put that lot together. Well done!

[Quaser]

i love it - but if i had the money - would have left the engine in the 850 and turbo'd it!

[gareth]

best get in early....

dear santa, this year i've (mostly) been a really good boy, can i have....................

[stevetigger]

The story of the 27 litre Rover!

Im sure the guy did it because he owns a gearbox place and he wanted to prove he could build a "Gearbox" that could handle the power!

[fuzzy]

serious work for sure ,serious power but crap looking car.there seems to be a lot of popping and black smoke involved and it doesnt seem to grip well either,not very practical for the school run then

[Turbo-Brown]

What on earth is the puffing of shit as the throttle is snapped shut?!

That's class though!

More is always more!

[gareth]

i suppose that's a very large volume of oily air (high boost for a large engine being dumped must be more volume of air).

worrying about the blackness though.... oil? dirt from engine bay? smoke signals? external wastgate into engine bay?

[bootyman]

Hell yeah. I want that baby

[WillG]

i wouldnt say it was wastegate becuase when it happens is throotle closes, imo its a maybe leaking turbo and its coming out of dumpvalve

[gareth]

true... looks nasty whatever it is!

[Bat-Fink]

I agree with Will on the smoke issue.

Mental motor tho

[Kos]

its all about torque !!

to spin the tyres from idle and trying to pull away normally makes it an interesting car

can you imagine this in the rain !!!!

[bootyman]

Err. Pimpimg 1st, practicality 2nd Kos.

[Kos]

Err. Pimpimg 1st, practicality 2nd Kos.

it would be ok for you ben you got some fat rubber boots on you reiger to lay all that power down !!

[bootyman]

Just a shame i cant afford it. The amount of work involved in doing it properly made me fart in my pants and the price tag, made me shit my pants so i'm back to reality
