naz27 222 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Engine dynos FTW! Nice work well done . What’s the target of your build - track/drift/fast road? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It’s just a fast road build, however I wanted an understressed engine. The engine is built for 1000hp and 8500rpm, but I’ll only be running at 60-70%ish of that power and a lower rpm, so should enable many miles of thrashing without any worries about the components being close to their operational limits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickz32 895 Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 For those of you interested, here is a good video about the Superflow SF902 engine dyno 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So what kind of gremlins as an example, were you having with the current set up?This is all quite interesting to learn really, before I start building my engine!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The full engine spec is listed, probably a couple of pages or so back. I don’t know if you have, but it’s worth going through the whole thread, I detail all the finer details of the build, the hows and why’s throughout. The limiting factor in terms of peak power is the turbos, which I’m fine with because they will give super quick spool and a really wide power band..... it’s still going to be primarily a road car, so peaky top end power is of no real use to me. There’s a long standing belief in the engine building world that if you build an engine as you would a high performance NA engine, the benefits are amplified when boosted (rather than just strapping big turbos on a fairly unimproved long block in terms of valvetrain, porting, etc) and that’s what I’ve done with my engine, I’ve specced the long block as highly as I can to maximise what the turbos can deliver.

Great cheers, I'll have a good read of the build spec then. Yeah agreed top end power no use on the road really, all about response! Keep us posted, looking forward to the updates 👍. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
