    Power To Weight

    It does have a lancia head but in saying that doesn't mean alot because they are of very similar design used on both fiat and lancia's being that they are both owned by the fiat group to. Suttle things were changed like water entry into the head and the like but valves and chambers and really...

    Power To Weight

    I was looking at the respective powers you guys are getting out of the lexus v8's. Some are pretty awesome, I was noticing to the 1/4 times aren't super fast which got me thinking. Even the conversions where they are used in lighter bodies that they are still not as quick as i would have...

    31 dead at Virgina Tech University....

    I was watching on sky news last night and in the bottom corner scrolling along it said that the mayor of Nagasaki was shot dead by a mobster, Madness. It almost has to be just bad news to make the news, Which in it self drives the paranoier and scare mongering. You hardly here positive news...

    Ferrari's 4.3liter V8 doubles the 1uz-fe hp output NA..

    Hey justen i got a friend down south years ago that put a monster/perephial port 13b Rotory in one of those little corollas. My god what a scary scary machine. The thing was put off the road for being to dangerous in the end. The car had a bad habit of spinning around on you and you would...

    Anyone Seen These, Remote Turbo's

    If They work as good as they say then it would get around alot of the problems with manifolds and stuff. Be probably easy to plum a twin charge system to where you have two turbo's at the back a eaton/lysom supercharger on the engine. I just can't see it working that well unless everything...

    Supercharge and turbo on the same motor?

    Slight adjustment, lol The special headed lancia was a prototype group s racer that was twin turbo'ed not supercharged, The earlier group b cars had both super and turbo and a conventional 16 valve head design, the super was plumbed so it could be bypassed when the turbo was making alot of...

    Lancia did it factory On The lancia s4 rally cars they did it factory. In full race trim they could develop around 650 Hp from there 1.8ltr super/turbo combo. They have seperate intercoolers and plenium. They also have a real special head on them, inlet and exhausts on both sides of the...

    V8 Fiat

    Thats what i have been hearing to. Think i'd do the same to, makes more sence to go for a TKO, I suppose the asking price is proportionate if you keep blowing w58s and the like. lol Your right to it would compomise the handling of the 124 alot. Then in alot of ways the suspension on them...

    V8 Fiat

    If i was being conventional i would have carried down the path i initially was going down. I had a volumax 2ltr. 8 valve lancia supercharged motor with steel bottom end. I was going to get the manifold fabricated up and a bi turbo and after mart management. Gives me an easy 300 fly hp. They...

    V8 Fiat

    No there is no way the engine will go in with out major front surgery. Then thats part the reason to do it in the first place. You can out drive the brakes with a 2ltr in them, the suspension doen't allow much adjustment for lowering or anything like camber etc, The steering boxs are crap...

    Lexus to R32 GTR... Wish me luck!

    I just noticed your posts, Awesome project :) Im looking at doing the same but stuffing it all into a fiat 124 sport. Will the gearbox take the torque of the 8?? and will it be turbo'd to? I like the idea of using the skyline driveline for the awd when it needs to be, i'm thinking 500...
