well they did win at le-mans this year with their prodrive build engine..... but indeed you're right, they where developed from the duratec V6, not by simply merging 2 together but a lot of desing stuff was used. sorry was just being stupid in the previous post o'course :swordfight: grtz thomas

Florida/USA People can't drive/tamme purebred Brittish go fast machinery? :wall: sorry coudn't resist Grtz Thomas

those are all quite small then, If I'm going to do it, they'll be at least 45mm and hopefully a little bigger. I expect to pay a HUGE amount of money on the frari engine & tranny combo, a LOT more than 15K to be precise, Lamborghini VAG V10's are easier and cheaper. but it aint no Frari. If...

thanks jake, Nah john, just loads of time, I'd try to make things exchangeble, drive both then decide which is best for the givven car, in my case steel spaceframe replica..... which means freedom to do whatever I want. I still think a well designed NA engine will benefit from...

Nice one Jake keep us informed. was thinking, I might be able to get my hands on a water-damage engine, from a friend (test and fit engine) he's finnished testing and fitting, I might chop one up, are there differences in the left and right heads? besides being mirror. But sure someone will...

Damn I remember sitting on the couch with my dad watching the 24H training sessions when Mark Webber did the Flip in the mercedes, we where both saying that he must have died in that crash, it was amazing how quick and high he went and gt out alive. still remember the comentor on dutch telly...

Erol, Sorry my bad, the question wasn't pointed your way directly, It was after John showed us the piccie of the ferrari F131 intake port. I more or less asked/said: I wonder how steep the intake angle can be made on a non vvt 1uzfe? can the intake trackt be made such that the port...

Ah compound, no problem then regarding the BPV and the isue I meant. was thinking sequential would prove tricky with vacuum activated BPV's since there not will be any when the turbo's spool up. idea: the older Merc's M62's use a electro magnetic clutch that is opperated from the ecu, IIRC...

BMW has an engine without a throttlebodie(s) at all, applying throttle is done by setting the valvetrain timing and lift. sort of super Vanos. Erol can you perhaps awnser a few of the questions I asked, just say so if you'd rather not, no hard feelings offcourse. Grtz Thomas

http://www.magnusonproducts.com/bypass.htm and http://www.capa.com.au/eaton.htm But those 2 items are the same as the ones a BMW MINI cooperS has standard, so a quick visit to a dealer might prove a good idea. forget the blabber around the net regarding the mini having a JOJO effect due to...

I'm a little surprized you didn't know that, here's another one, www.mulsannescorner.com grtz Thomas

just found the post on gt40s all clear now cribjj, nice to know mesa pulled it off, grtz Thomas

Hmmm strange for some reason I could'nt see all iof the posts on page three, so I responded to Jibby's last post on page 2 alone, Almost all BMW M series have ITB's closed airbox over that and a big a** AFM. Idle can be set with the bypass screws, what'sit anyway nowadays didn't anyone have...

Hey Jibby, I haven't measured the gains on dyno, so I don't know if I gained anything substancial, but I certainly didn't loose, 0-60timer in the car showed 0.3 seconds faster, and 3 seconds faster lap times on the zandvoort F1 racetrack in holland, so the thing most obvious with that...

Ed if the result is Tiny, either you have a very well siezed stock TB or poorly seized ITB's Throttle response is normaly much better with correct ITBs Erol thanx for the info, one Q as allways, since you haven't changed to portfloor I asume you still have the bend in it? sorry for sounding...

I'm very interested in this one! grtz Thomas

The one thing i haven't seen awnsered yet (think the question was asked though in some form) to get the peak hp RPM higher up in the rev range the runners go shorter, but where did erol's 50mm diameter throttle valve come from? we're obviously trying to make the effective diamater of the...

nah chapman said that about the 11, I meant really about the engine, anyway the person reffered specificly to the engines internals being to heavy thus costing power, think it was john judd not sure though. having seen a original 11 in the flesh I know what he meant by not wanting to drive...

still waiting for the youtube clip ed, for some reason I cannot login on v-eight anymore... (think it's compu related at my side at, only do car forums at work :-) grtz Thomas

No, just extreme wear and tear of parts like bearings rings etc etc etc, if there was a part to break when in use, there's something gone wrong in either (re)building the engine or in the race itself. also tollerances in these engines allow for much higher specification, the downside is that...
