biggerbigben 0 Posted January 1, 2005 This guy rekons he can get 1000bhp out of a 16v!!! And its got the rallye 4WD setup on it.... well I was just gobsmacked when I saw the size of the turbo. Thoughts please...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 1, 2005 Maybe but how long will the engine last! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Rev it to 10k rpm and you only need to generate 500lbft to hit 1k bhp... Ok, so that's not very easy in itself, but hey! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted January 2, 2005 Might help if the turbo's pipes were connected.... And I thought the Rallye 4wd system could only manage 300bhp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted January 2, 2005 Well that's just silly :lol: I'm sure it's possible to get 1kbhp out of it, but as Supercharged says, it aint gonna last long. Just wait til Scruffythefirst sees that turbo, he'll soil his pants :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 2, 2005 228bhp out of a 1.3 wankel ! so i suppose anythings possible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Hmmmn, seem to remember seeing this before on another site, it's in a Mk1 isn't it ? Reckon it should be difficult but possible, far easier to hit that target using 20V engine as base. Nice though and would like to see it finished and running, Cheers, BigEastSideVWG60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Its a mk2 golf with rallye arches I think. And yes the 4wd can only really take around 300bhp, I'm pushing my luck with 350-400bhp! So 1000bhp - forget it! Its the torque that will kill it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Exactly. 500lbft would toast the gearbox and drivetrain pretty much straight away. Even the mighty Lotus Carlton with huge uprated driveshafts etc was snapping them till they turned the torque knob down below 500 lbft... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Just wait til Scruffythefirst sees that turbo, he'll soil his pants Laughing You know me too well. If he wants to hit over 500bhp everything except the block and the head casting will have to be replaced - crank rods and pistons wont cope as standard. 600bhp is hard enough in a cossy and thats had a lot of development work as it is. Looks neat though - 8 injectors :onfire: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skimask 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Max Power figures again....it may reach 1000Bhp - the microsecond after it explodes :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 3, 2005 I'd be more concerned with the sheer grunt tearing the suspension turrets away from the shell! I've seen a vid of an 1100bhp Supra tearing away from the line and you could clearly see the wings buckle :shock: A fine piece of engineering and good for a laugh but as already mentioned, it's going to blow, no question!

quicksilver 0 Posted January 3, 2005 hahahahahahaha.... Bet it won't be as fast as my neighbours "1.2 Nova wiv 1200bhp from new Max Power zorst and air filter"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60Dazzaman 0 Posted January 8, 2005 Surely it wont be able to pull away without leavin the body behind! wonder what the standing qtr would be on that!? wonder how it will stop at the end more to the point! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 8, 2005 The whole chassis will be replaced by rubber. The front of the car will have finished the std qtr, and the back of the car will be just twanging off the start line... But when that rubber band snaps back.. you really don't wanna be in it.. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
