has anyone twin turbo a V8 before
i was thinkign because v8 have alright power but all the japanese cars have turbos and they mae power too what if you did a twin turbo v8 you would have heaps?

would it be hard to twin turbo a v8 like a vr ss and how much power do you reckon i could spend a bit of money if it was worth it

otherwise na im not sure how much power you could make cheaply once you get into it all

is that the speedworkz one ?, as i saw it when i was there, man is that crazy, always wondered what was under the hood.. and if it is, or even if it isnt, is all that power going to the front wheels, or are celica's 4wd ?

You would not see this car at Speedworks.
Its the Mustang bodied type and Its Motec is tuned by me.This thing has a full house motor for this year.

GURU racing down Bunbury way I thought it ran 9.29

Definately look at a Jap v8 alternative as an option

a guy i work with has done this conversion to an injected 5.0L in a vc sedan (absolute sleeper with hubcaps etc) standard engine with backyard made turb manifolds and a pair of vg30det snails, twin homemade water to air intercoolers, a chipmaster modded delco and on 6-7psi made somewhere between 330-340 rwhp. goes quite hard i must admit...

George asked me to keep going up in boost to find out what will brake but i was to chicken so he did it at the track but it was 30psi on a stock motor with 2 GT30R turbos that killed it.Head gaskets and 1 rod failed but the new 1UZ is much tougher.

anything is a street car, u just have to have the balls to drive it on the road. But a legal street car, thats a diffrent thing, and how u ment to define a street car, as all the states have diffrent laws, ie vic is heaps tougher than wa for example, so something that is a "street car" over here isnt nessarly a street car over there. and example is left hand drive, its only legal in WA (i think).

so street car what is it ?

The LS1 has undergone alot of aftermarket development in Australia under recent years - and of course in the US (plenty of TT, SC cars)

Huge potential, I had a ride in a 6spd SC 5.7L a few years ago - it went. Couple of the other guys have got a heap out of theirs - 11s NA (no gas) even stock cube. One of the guys had a 6.2L stroker, blown, huge power - converted 6spd HSV Grange - but it was stolen :(:(

I love the idea of a TT V8, not sure I could spend the money to do it though - Lotus Esprit would be nice :p

McLOVIN

That Grange was gorgeous. I used to pass it every day on the way to work when I was at St Leonards.

Please give it back Morgs :p

SST Steve

15-12-2003, 05:13 PM

We had a Grange in with lots of NOS a few weeks ago and got 389rwhp , ran 11.9 on slicks.
Had the black ute with SS50 plates with a blowen 300KW motor and a lot of NOS that made 460rwhp 20 more than Ants Dat so Big cubes is big crap with out silly money.

Not quite that easy. You seem to have ignored the reference to cost. Ant has obviously spent a lot of money on his engine. I'm sure the same amount of money spent on the 8 would see much higher figures.

Still an awesome figure from the SR though.

As i said in another thread, the Lingenfelter Twin Turbo Corvette (TT LS6) has run an 8.80 in crappy conditions and 9.50 on street tyres, puts out in the vicinity of 900rwhp and is currently for sale for US$150k. The regular version (you could still buy the hi-po but it was special order, those figures were from his test mule) is rated at 750hp on the website and will still put u into single figures down the 1/4, it also comes with a warranty wich is void when the optional boost controller is used.

Unfortunately Mr Lingenfelter was in an acco and now currently sits in a coma, so the brains behind one of the fastest tuner packages in the world is not likely to be coming back and developing for quite some time.

The LS1, be it N/A or running boost has been found to be one of the best tuner engines out there. If someone could confirm it with fatboy, i think they have managed to crack a 12 with a completely stock ute using only a CPU tune and possibly (probably) slicks.

Rickmate

16-12-2003, 10:12 PM

man, i hope lingenfelter comes out of the coma, i want him to work on the monaro's (although i guess its just a case of transferring from corvette to monaro, in a way ??)..

Mike_Hunt

18-12-2003, 11:49 PM

Ligenfelter is in a coma i beleive coz he crashed his gm 2l turbo 6 second pro rwd drag car racing sport compact, dunno for sure tho. I think the big point steve is missing with his big cubes are crap tripe is that the turbocharging of ant's datto makes all the difference.. once u start adding atmospheres to an engine instead of the engine relying on it's own squeeze to make power the sky is the limit.. and as for falling apart nizpro did reliability trials on an ls1 with nitrous making 650+ hp and did a stupid amount of pulls on it (sumthn like 100+) before it finally torched a factory cast piston.. everything else was absolutely fine. That and i can't remember any major failures with big hp ls1's in the country the only car of note being that guy's clubsport over east (craig sumthn) with the monster procharger equipped sleeved stroker ls1.. the liners started walkin around at 1300 crank horsepower, so he got a cast iron block from the states and the last i heard he was converting to twin turbo.

Mike_Hunt

19-12-2003, 12:11 AM

And what's with the silly dollars thing.. i heard u describing an sr20 long motor full of trust gear as a gift at 7k.. so what all new it was close to 10k or more.. Tassone's long motor would owe him maybe 15k or a lil more i mean shit it's only got a cast c.o.m.e crank, vn cast heads, cast block (plus he did a lot himself - head porting etc.).. most exotic thing in it would be the grp rods and that thing only makes what.. 1000 odd more hp at the wheels and ran an 8.11 on a 10 inch tyre. Fair enough the bolt ons are worth a fair bit more (plus more time/fabrication) but needed to support the power, plus we only talkin bout engines anyway. By the way i haven't seen that fall apart yet..

If any1 wants to see some awesome ttv8 work plus other turbo work in general look up the name ken duttweiler in the U.S.

Mike_Hunt

Living in the past? I've owned v8's and now i'm building a chooky... i'm just a person who doesn't spout crap out of hand against an engine just because a. i don't know how to pull power out of one or b. don't like them. as for cheap throw together engine.. damn i wish i had a cheap throw together engine that ran in the 8's and pulled 1300rwhp consistently. As for the gtr comment well who are u linin up against, no point blowin ur own horn if u beat some 18yo p-plater in a stock vn 5l and anyway on the street it's who's got the most traction and naturally a 4wd car will win that battle most of the time, maybe try a high hp rwd import vs equal v8.. more interestin. Anyway without this variety and pullin the piss outta each other life would be boring no?

On tuesday We are racing the New Tango1 drag car that is now very hard core in a GTR.
SST autos was very big in V8s 5 years ago but we moved with the times.
Last nite a 300KW monaro with Bill lee stickers all over it was playing with the traffic till he spyed a GTR next to him and lost his confidence.

I love 1Uzs and VH44s and Have a thing for late model Merc V8s and more so with AMG or Brabus badging.
I just hate the Commodore-Chev Bog mentality complete with their Mullets and Flannos But i'm a Major sponser of Tango1 and lifted it from 292rwhp to 416rwhp with a Wolf ECU and a Strong tune.I spent 19 years buliding tough V8s but even the Yanks have moved on now with Sports compact bringing bigger crowds than the old school V8s and Jap cars out selling the Yank crap.
I see a lot of V8s at work and it is rare to see one make good HP.

SST Steve

The best streeter was 479rwhp, it is a modded 300KW HSV with a blower and a huge dose of NOS but the average big doller 350 Chev is around 300rwhp but the best was a 500cube Methanol and NOS burning Drag car at 740.4rwhp.
300rwhp is easy in a mild S13 Silvia with the light weight and handling makes for a lot more fun driving than a born again Taxi with the same power. But if Trevs didn't keep building this kind of car most of the fun would be taken out of a day at the plex.

No amount of brand loyalty or love for any particular kind of driveline can change the fact that a larger engine than that designed to fit the car originally is going to have some bad effects on the vehicle's handling.

Having said that, suspension can always be modified to improve the resultant poor handling characteristics.

go JapTechnology :) i cant c why the V8's arnt going insane on HP - it shouldnt be hard being a bigger capacity etc 0 just strap some turbz ont here and away she blows! lol

the stupid thing that the yanks and aussies did was put huge engines in fkn huge ass boats - now y the fk didnt they use thier brain and claim true porformance by putting the engine in a lighter car - true performace in based on power/weight

1) They are, 1500rwhp is insane

2) Corvette Z06 1400kg, 49:51 weight distribution, 1g lateral handling, 405hp, 12.3 1/4s 7:56 nuburg ring time. US$53,000

Not all cars can have the engine set back the Vet has but imagine a 650hp RB26 or even better a Twin turbo VQ35 sitting in the Vet.Sod that just gimmy a Honda NSX and a shit load of cash to stepit up.

Mike_Hunt

26-12-2003, 03:31 PM

So first it was hate all v8's now it's just hate pushrods hehe. The reason they're still around is because they still make the numbers for little development cost which is why GM and ford own themselves.. unlike a lot of japanese manafacturers. The z06 is an axcellent example of a modern pushrod v8 sports car, and why would u bother putting a boat anchor like a vq35 in it when u could just strap a pair of turbo's on the ls6 and make a bunch more power. As for vette's and multiple cams - tried the with the zr1, spent a bunch with lotus, lost torque and now have a better set up with the currrent model (that being said it was still quite a good engine). As for v8's in lighter cars why have it up front.. rear or mid mount it for better weight distribution, problem solved. Pity ant's car nailed the box, would've been good to see it run tango.. hope he gets it back on road soon, really interested to see how it goes at full noise. If any1 wants to se how the local museum relics are doing look at the perth street car mag's top ten drag list, they fill the first 5 spots followed by a mighty chooky. Gtr's are down the list somewhat with a certain 600hp@wheels r33 running a blistering 12.10 sec pass.

Twin PT52 Precision Turbo Engine Turbos will provide the Boost. Each Turbo is capable of making 600HP or 1000CFM of Air. Together the combination is good for at least 1200HP and/or 2000CFM of Air. The Turbos were selected to have a small nozzle diameter as well as a .85 AR Ratio. To allow these Turbos to spool up quickly in order to reduce the sensation of Turbo Lag.

sorry but TODAY it made 550~ hp @ the rear wheels which was 50hp short of the winner :p

there is no way in the world that it could have 502 kw @ the rears, and only roll out 550 Hp

Put it into perspective - ant's gtr was probly lookn at near 9 grand on the tacho and up near 2 bar boost whereas the commo was probly lookn at 6 - 6.5 grand and 1- 1.5 bar... anyway if u wanna see a commo win jus call up eddy if he aint in the can for drugs or summin and he'd roll on and wipe the floor. Nathan's car seemed to have trouble matching previous figures... hmmm..

Try 1.5 bar,2bar is being used at Cabin boys.
What kind of shit is proly,either you know or you don't!
Ants GTR is a true, driven streeter.
V8s can try again next year but this year they suck.

Steve you sound like a 17year old p plater driving a s13 na silvia with neon lights and a big wing.... Nissans are the best nothing else compares who cares if that car makes more horsepower or quicker down the quater mile... i respect all types of motors/makes if its quick or just making rude hp you should grow up and do the same

Having met ant and chatted with him about his skyline and other things i know he is a top bloke, he'll have a yarn with anyone who takes an interest and is likeable. There is no doubt at all about the seriousness of his gtr but at the same time he will tell you he likes a rude v8 as well, it's fair enough to slang vn v8 commodore driving p platers who think they own the roads but on the same token it's open season on backwards wearing hat pimply faced silvia owners who also think they own. Give credit where it's due in all cases, if a car is nicely detailed or makes a lot of power or has had a lot effort put in give it it's due. All i've heard out of steve's mouth every time i've heard him talk is chop this chop that... bout time wits were matched with age, after all u apparently owned v8 t-buckets and all this so at some stage you must have liked them to put the effort in. As for probly tell me exactly how much boost and what revs the tt commo was usin or how much wheelspin it was getting on the dyno before slangin it.

Mike_Hunt

24-01-2004, 02:14 PM

And i haven't seen a gtr run over 1500 hp at the wheels anyway, seems a bit strange to crow about victory and crap on about how v8's suck this year when not all the competition's represented... Once again credit where it's due tho.. ant's gtr is a f**ken machine!

SST Steve

24-01-2004, 02:33 PM

Your welcome to like what ever you want just as i am.
I like black track racing and rallying and if you think real hard you will remember the Turbos getting banned to make a v8 only class as the V8s were getting(Sorry) Chopped and turbo 4s have ruled the forrest for years and that leaves V8s on Drag car or Truck dutys.
I like more than you think as i also have a 13B turbo powered race car and i love to piss people off as i have with you.PS Chopped is Ants term any one that knows him would know that.CHOP CHOP

The thing i like about Ants car is it is not a big budget name brand car, just well thought out and well built.
This is the reason it upsets some other shops.

tomj

25-01-2004, 01:10 PM

Exactly - built in his own backyard literally - and its not some $ 100 000 workshop is just his own skill and his own tools.

Plus the fact it is driven often and when it is it is driven in anger - serious anger infact makes it alot more respectable rather then being a trailered dyno queen.

25-01-2004, 04:20 PM

Funny when i spoke to him he said it owed him the big ton, dunno if he was serious or not. Plus i'm not pissed of by anything here i just enjoy the baiting and responses as much as anyone else, it's all a good laugh. What's the rotor packin steve?

yes I am from the better side of the country..
Barbagallo is what most of us over here know it as.
Wannaroo sounds weird as to me.
almost p00f like.
Barbagallo dont sound to good either.
but thats your guys problem..
hows about a list of your quickest or high horsepower
4s
6s
V6s
V8s
13bs
20bs

As for V8's - remember Eddie Tassone - the guy who came and raped you all at summernats?

4's - Speedworks have some 700hp SR20's and Ant has a 500hp plus at the engine SR

6's - autosalon will be time to see some big power cars ( two i can think of reaching for the stars)

V6's - there is one here in a 300zx - ive seen the massive amount of custom work put into that and im sure it would be the equal of anything you have over east
Also jason murrays 500hp 300zx

Ask Lee about the rotor crew in not sure about them

Now let me ask you this - how many people do we have here in Perth compared to you?

also mt panorama sounds like a gay makeout zone. :) or somewhere pensioners go to look at flowers.

Back on teh topic
chopped from the autronic forum

Brett Waine won the unlimited class at Summernats with 1346HP. That is an average of three runs on PUMP fuel!!!! The fuel is the same as our 93 octane. The engine was a small block Chev twin turbo running a Autronic SM2 and CDI.

The engine, if it is the same as his original set up and i'm pretty sure that it is, is a holden 383 stroker not a chev. After the comp was decided he wound the boost up a bit and recorded 1470hp @ the wheels.

15-03-2004, 09:20 PM

Hehe no-one really hates each other, the attitude the small car/small engine guys got in the beginning was the same as any minority group will cop. Instead of laughing it off or having a mutual joke the little car guys got burned and gave the v8 guys a panning and it's been a vicious cycle ever since (even though now the small/late model car scene is vastly bigger than it was) - kinda funny to watch/participate in sometimes. As with anything there's always the good and bad guys but i reckon everyone has a laugh now, not too serious.

Oh and back on topic if there's any ford heads out there check out a car with the plates 'BWARND' - a blue tf cortina (super sedan) with a 400 boss twin turbo efi v8. Currently makes about 1250hp at the fly with twin gt40's but that was at just over 6000rpm and 16psi. Very nicely detailed little package.. even for a ford.

21-03-2004, 01:14 AM

gulotto's (WA) silver camira with the tt 1uzfe is running 170 mph, only et'ing at 8.11 at the moment but if he can launch and 60 ft it better he should scrape into the sevens.. good package. Considering weight and mph the things gotta be making 1000 or just over.
