Engine building with unlimited budget


warpspeed

Recommended Posts

Im with don the thing is neat but not much of a real life engine..

depends on what youre building it for...its not a drag car for sure, but for those people who go out and run 80-180 rolls on the freeway, this thing would hand people their asses....or perhaps a texas mile car etc...no matter how you cut it, its got 3-4k rpm of a lot of power...no diff than a corvette that makes power from 2k-6k, this just makes it from 6-9k

with some long gearing like 2.73:1 i bet this thing would bust people on the freeways at night

thats would be a hot setup with all wheel drive I could only imagine the fun one could have with something like that

did they mention what it was going in? the escort they kept talkin about was a different car, i dont see where it mentions this motor... wondering if its going into an awd evo or something else

**edit, it is in an evo, read on second page....that 1070whp subaru that was posted, supposedly runs 8s....theyre doing something right with these builds lol

I hate these I4 vs V8 type discussions...as car/motorcycle guys we should all know its not necessarily about getting the most power for the buck, but about doing something different. Whats the joy of going out and buying a car and doing no mods/engineering. Its about being different. Theres a coolness factor when you can say your fucking escort can run circles around a middleaged white guy in a corvette.

Although they did not mention at first the vehicle the motor was for it did mention above the picture of the motor that the stock 4g63 would not hold up for the build. The 4g63 is a mitsubishi turbo motor that started in the galant vr-4 than went into the evos which were all wheel drives

i was only curious because people put 4g63s into everything these days....hell, i bet theres a 4g63 rwd mustang out there somewhere lol

**edit - yep there is... lol http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206557

Nobody said you couldn't put a V8 in an escort. :dunno:

This quote does come to mind when you say that though.

You could have the fastest Civic in the world, but at the end of the day you're still driving a Civic.
