michael Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 http://www.racecarsdirect.com/viewlisting.php?view=4111 I might be (very) wrong but I seem to think that these are the mental 1.5L engines that put out over 1000bhp and rev to 11,000rpm. Could be fun in a lightweight Caterham type thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Couldd be fun in most cars!! Thats a big turbo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 bloody hell - make it fit... I mean if they can fit 5.7 V8s into caterhams, this should be that difficult.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 bloody hell - make it fit... I mean if they can fit 5.7 V8s into caterhams, this should be that difficult.. It's the turbo that's the problem, would need relocating if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's the turbo that's the problem, would need relocating if possible. It could stick out of the bonnet I mean if EMICS are allowed im sure a MASSIVE turbo will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 oh, I see... move it to the top of the engine sticking out of the bonnet... So that it can have all the cold air it wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's the turbo that's the problem, would need relocating if possible. easy, turn the manifold the other way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It probably wouldn't last very long either. I still fancy an S2000 engine in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Neatest Turbo Westfield I've ever seen was at Donny this year.. that's only a straight 4 cylinder and there's barely enough room. The exhaust was just a stubby pipe straight out of the turbo. 380bhp / 360 ft/lb 2.1 Zetec Interestingly he was selling the engine, but not the car! Perhaps not too drivable then.

grahamc Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It probably wouldn't last very long either. I still fancy an S2000 engine in mine. I have always thought of that as being the ultimate... The other one that I have seen is rotus 7... Rotary engined 7s... wicked machines, look quite scary!

Wez Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It would need to run to 11,000rpm for a 1.5ltr to spin that turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 It probably wouldn't last very long either. I still fancy an S2000 engine in mine. I always thought an tweaked S2000 engine in one of those would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
