QUOTE A 300RWHP motor under 3.0 liters could be built, but you're looking at major money. Unless you go forced induction... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

QUOTE A 300RWHP motor under 3.0 liters could be built, but you're looking at major money. Unless you go forced induction... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I've noodled a bunch on that, but not willing to take my expensive motor and experiment. Kind of like supercharging, but just wish there was a good source for Type IV motors that was proven. Like wouldn't it be nice if there was someone like CB Performance for Type 4 induction motors. They have built hundreds of turbo motors for the sand rail fans and their failure rate is super low. On the other hand Andy's suggestion of a turbo 2.7 would definitely get the job done. Great for hill climbs, no question. Not sure how good it would be in autoxing as you'd be adding a bunch of weight. Um mm. Yea, a smaller turbo to spool up fast out of corners.. Give me torque every time. |
