  1. from autoblog HE McLAREN P1™ ADOPTS TWIN POWER TO DELIVER PHENOMENAL TORQUE, INSTANTLY Feb 20, 2013 IPAS (Instant Power Assist System) and DRS (Drag Reduction System) offer instant boost of power and straight-line speed 916PS (903 bhp) and 900Nm, with emissions of less than 200g/km Substantially revised 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine coupled to low-weight, highly efficient electric motor ensures instant torque for optimised throttle response Full E-mode offers in excess of 10km emission-free driving The McLaren P1™ will have the combined force of two highly-efficient powerplants, offering the optimum mix of superb throttle response, day-to-day drivability and top speed. A mid-mounted 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine and a highly effective electric motor give a combined output of 916PS (903 bhp) and a maximum torque figure of 900Nm, ensuring instantaneous throttle response through the rev range, more akin to a naturally aspirated engine. Emissions of less than 200g/km on the combined cycle are reduced to zero in full electric drive mode, while the Formula 1-derived DRS and IPAS technologies offer an increase in straight-line speed and an instant boost of power. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine in the McLaren P1™ is a new version of the familiar M838T unit, that has been significantly upgraded to optimise cooling and durability under the higher loads. The engine block has a unique casting to incorporate the electric motor. The petrol engine produces 737PS (727 bhp) at 7,500rpm, and 720Nm of torque from 4,000rpm. To optimise efficiency of the petrol engine, extensive testing and development work has always been carried out with McLaren Automotive technology partner Mobil 1 on lubrication and hydraulic fluids. The lightweight electric motor, developed by the McLaren Electronics arm of the Group, produces 179PS (176 bhp), and is unique to the McLaren P1™. The motor produces maximum torque of 260Nm instantly from a standstill, greatly increasing the throttle response of the McLaren P1™, and peak combined torque of 900Nm is delivered from just 4,000 rpm. In addition to this, the McLaren-developed 'boost' system, IPAS, provides up to 179PS instantly. The instant response of the electric motor provides a sharper throttle response more associated with a normally aspirated engine, and the significantly enhanced air-charging system enables the McLaren P1™ to have more top-end power – the perfect combination for high performance. The electric motor is mounted directly onto the engine, and all drive is channelled through the dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox to drive the rear wheels. Thus, the electric motor and 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine work seamlessly together, providing more than just added ultimate power and torque. A further benefit is that the e-motor can provide faster upshifts. This is achieved through the application of instant negative torque at the point of shift, making the engine revs drop as quickly and efficiently as possible to the required engine speed for the upshift. In addition to the obsessive weight-saving measures demonstrated throughout the McLaren P1™, so too is the optimisation of usable energy. When off-throttle the electric motor provides additional drag torque, recovering energy to the battery that would otherwise be lost to the brakes. E-mode The McLaren P1™can be driven in a variety of modes, powered by the engine and electric motor together, or solely by the electric motor. This ensures versatility and ease of transportation, allows use in low emission zones and residential driving is optimised with near-silent running. Maximum power comes when using both powerplants together, but even in E-mode the performance is strong. E-mode is the most economical mode available with zero tailpipe emissions. In E-mode, the McLaren P1™ can travel more than 10km with electric-only power – enough for most city journeys. When the battery is empty, the petrol engine will automatically start to maintain drive and charge the battery. IPAS and DRS optimise performance and throttle response The power available via the petrol engine and electric motor is further enhanced on the McLaren P1™ through two steering wheel-mounted buttons which activate the DRS (Drag Reduction System) and IPAS (Instant Power Assist System). The Drag Reduction System used on the McLaren P1™ is a technology similar to that employed on Formula 1 cars. Speed is increased by reducing the amount of drag on the rear wing and, where the MP4-28 has a moveable flap on the rear wing, the McLaren P1™ has a wing that reduces in angle to lower drag by 23%. The system immediately deactivates when the button is released, or if the driver touches the brake pedal. IPAS is designed to deliver power rapidly for high performance acceleration, and provides 179PS of instant additional power. In developing the IPAS technology for the McLaren P1™, power delivery was prioritised over energy storage. This is achieved through a groundbreaking, lightweight battery pack, which offers greater power density than any other automotive battery pack on sale today. Battery The high power density has been achieved through a combination of high power cells, low pack weight and an innovative cooling system. The battery weighs just 96kg, and is mounted onto the underbody of the high-strength Formula 1-grade carbon fibre MonoCage chassis, which seals the unit in the vehicle, thus avoiding the added weight of any unnecessary battery packaging. Due to the amount of power being supplied by the battery, complex cooling is required to guarantee cell performance and reliability. The coolant flow is balanced so each cell is cooled to the same temperature across the entire pack. In addition to the battery being charged via the engine, the McLaren P1™ is also equipped with a plug-in charger which can recharge the battery, from empty, in only two hours. The plug-in charger can be stored in the luggage compartment, although the customer may choose to store it off-board – in a garage or the pits – to save weight. Further details of the McLaren P1™ will be released in the coming weeks, before the production-ready car makes its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2013/02/04-mclaren-p1-628.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2012/09/mclaren-p1-paris.jpg

  8. The trunk...for arguments sake, I'll remove the bottle if it will make you happier. ;D http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01560.jpg?t=1267720422 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01570.jpg?t=1267724225 Two dzus's and the bottle plate/rug come out. The trunk contains a 5 gallon cell, bottle w/heater, pumps, Optima battery, power cutoff, batt posts, relays...the stock tank is fake. I removed the top side of the tank and the bottom of the spare tire well....from underneath it is undetectible, dirt, rust and undercoating are still there. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01565.jpg?t=1267720669 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01564.jpg?t=1267720969 The fuel line, return line, nos line all enter the frame rail here and are snaked thru the rocker on the passenger side, exit behind the plastic wheel well up front to hidden regulaters. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01567.jpg?t=1267721026 No sump with lines hangin out, stock fuel line to the front, and out of state plate help the effect. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01556.jpg?t=1267721224 My favorite....the young kid I bought the car from had quarts of trans fluid and brake fluid in the back floor along with this brand new bottle of laundry soap...they're there for every pass. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01572.jpg?t=1267721343 I could only do so much with under the hood...if they see it. The battery that appears bungied is actually a well mounted plastic display battery which is actually hooked up and I use it to fire my timing light. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01554.jpg?t=1267721501 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01555.jpg?t=1267721725 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01585.jpg?t=1267721822 The car is a blast to drive, leaves hard and straight and I dont worry 'bout the paint. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/HPNX0825.jpg?t=1267722002 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/HPNX0857.jpg?t=1267722065 I lost my buddy's 406 in the lights. I haven't figured out these drag radials yet...as you pour the power on it tire shakes sumpin fearse!!! Shook so hard, went from 1st to 3rd and one hyper didn't like it much. You probably noticed it doesn't have a roll bar and it needs a cage to be legal. At the big end with oil covered tires, I was a drivin sum bitch...makes you start to think!
  9. this one is pretty good other than the tires From BangShift.com http://www.bangshift.com/forum/index.php?topic=20416.0 From the forum: All this talk of Fox's has made me think about one of my Mustangs tucked away for winter. I've always loved the Sleeper cars who get your attention real quick once you see them run...."there's no victory sweeter than the one your antagonist never saw comin." This is my '91 I bought for $500 as a driver with 4 cylinders/auto....ruff lookin, but absolutely solid car. I knew what it's destiny was the day I saw it. My friend offered up a lowbuck 406 sbc and I did the rest to see how fast we could go. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01588.jpg?t=1267718364 I left the interior vertually as I got it....fits the look perfectly. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01583.jpg?t=1267718537 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01575.jpg?t=1267718715 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01584.jpg?t=1267718923 Now, other than the tires out back who would suspect? Do the typlical Fox stuff without leading to much on....8.8/spool 3.73, tired lookin 50/50 shocks, anti-roll bar with a sway bar as well (no bag), weld up the seams, no frame connecters, 90/10 struts...you know, the casual looker stuff. So I take the hyperutectic pistoned chevy, turbo 400/3500 stall....mid plate and motor plate it because I think it will make the car alot more rigid and tell everybody I got it that way. Put a small shot of spray on it (150hp) cause of the pistons (I know >) and begin hiding the goods. my center console...Edelbrocks Progressive controller, Autometers electric bottle pressure gauge, MSD's timing controller, bottle heater switch, NOS switch, relay and fuse. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01579.jpg?t=1267719791 No tach....Autometer rpm activated shift lite mounted behind speaker grill on driver side. Switchs in console for line lock, fan, purge valve, fule pump. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/luxlx/DSC01576.jpg?t=1267720025

  15. Mark is a good guy, known him for a long time now. Forewarning, he can be an asshole, but for the most part he's a good guy.
  16. That one is 637 cu.in. Block is good for 785 cubes though.
  17. It was. Hopefully, I'll have something more than target loads next time.
