This is a RAT 200HP turn key in action in a 914. The engine was our 2.4L AX special, making all it's power by 6,500 RPM.. It runs stock cooling too!
Listen to that beast!! He ended up taking top time of the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y13C3v2L788&feature=user And this is the same car on the track at a DE.. Watch all those water pumpers get their doors blasted!!! (this video was posted a couple weeks ago here, just a comparison to how an engine can be "Dual purpose") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFRrbjy_pM&feature=user Posting anything on forums other than my own opens up doors for people to deem something "advertisement".. Well this video is worth the blame and any flames that may arise from them.. I stand ready. Safety off. :-) This post has been edited by Jake Raby: May 19 2008, 12:37 PM |

I suppose Grant means that Dan drove his 6 at the GGR autocross in Alameda this last weekend. Not really a slam on what you do... Dan has owned a variety of 6's and 4's... Like me he can see the value in both.

Like me he can see the value in both. Oh come on! I'm not that nice or that politcally correct! LOL! I actually was refering to a less well known T4 builder whose car bested the times of the Raby "Rocket" powered car. Hamilton Engineering has been building lighting fast Rabbit Rod T4's for years and actually has a long standing reputation of winning the most heavily attended AX's in the region. He stands undefeated this season. I appreciate his quiet competence in building the fastest T4 motors around. If I was inclined to put a fast T4 in my car I'd be lining up to get a Hamilton Engineering T4 motor. I think Lee Hamilton is an underappreciated T4 motor builder we have in the 914 world. We all know about his motors here on the West Coast as we are always chasing his almost undefeated 914 AX car. Oh! ....and perhaps not only did Dan drive a six, but he put a certain Raby powered car behind his times in an itsy bitsy 2480cc small bore six as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Ok now I'll behave myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

Thanks for the kind words. Rob, no, he doesn't do kits, he just does cylinder head work and complete engines. |
