No no, who has the least.

That'll be me @ 65bhp.

Not for much longer though - I hope.

Well. It was about 155 (standard SD1 lump).

Now it has fuel injection (but slightly lower comp than a Vitesse), so in theory somewhere between 155 and 190.

But, there's also a pair of turbos, so my guesses are:

1) If it doesn't work, about 0bhp, so I'll take the lower crown;

2) If it works reasonably well, about 250bhp;

3) If it works according to "the plan" about 300

4) If 3) is the case, I'll get a 4.6l lump, build it properly, larger turbos and aim for 450bhp.

5) If either 3 or 4 work, I'm gonna give up building cars, declare myself a genius, beat Zephraim Cochrain to the invention or the warp drive, build a starship and clear off.

I recon about 200bhp of fuel, for 110bhp of engine, for about 80bhp at the wheels!

But it sounds nice though.
And, as I've always said, it's not size the counts it's how big it is

2 ltr Nissan turbo with an Apexi ECU and boost controller, 555 injectors and lots of other go faster goodies.

Won't know the final bhp and torque till it's all been mapped on the RR. Other engines with very similar set-ups are around 280-310bhp....

I'll let you know when it's done

Way way to much for the wet as I found out on the way back from Stoneleigh 4th gear wheel spin isn't my idea of fun

I'm hoping for around 200hp at the wheels when it eventually goes on a rolling road

I think the viper v10 (if it can be shoehorned in) is quite easily the winner here......

Viper V-10.... Why not just stick a helicopter engine in...the size of a pinto, the weight of an ant and the power of an atomic bomb...

its getting done at the moment the viper v10





Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!
