KTM 990 SD / S60 D5
Car won't be ready by then 
might have to pop down for a look.
What sort of finale power figure do you think your car will produce, must be a fair bit more to come from the gt40.

I'll be happy if it's breaks the 500hp mark. If it breaks doing it then i won't be lol
Would have thought it should breeze past that TBH with the size of that snail, lol

Should smash 500 bhp, there are plenty of 3.2 lumps making well over 500 with gt35's, my mates(3.2) should be close to 500 when he gets a more free flowing exhaust and that's with a gt30. I wouldn't of thought the 2.9 will be that far behind.

I don't doubt it m8, the only thing that could cause me issues is the setting up of the VNT. It's not the easiest thing to set up, and i'm also running an external wastegate.

Yes mate, it makes them toe out when you move it forwards like this as it moves the steering arm further away from the rack.
I just did 2 turns of extra toe in per side as a ballpark which seemed to be about right, but I will be getting it tracked again before bedford on friday next week rather than leave it to guesswork.
It might handle even better once the tracking is done if my couple of turns guess was far out of course
ai figured it would knock the tracking out, simple physics like
nice to have a ball park and tbh its fairly simple to track by eye to get it close enough to run about in prior to a proper track up with the sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads

I am sure 500 will be plenty considering the car you have it in.

really awesome project m8!
had a little chat with you at the end of the day when you left the Lassa stand for photo's
do the oil coolers get significant cooling air there?
i'm seriously thinking into rwd'ing my gtt although the Netherlands law isn't that easy:dapprove:

The difference in grip off the line when you move the engine to the other end is certainly very significant.
aye, but 500hp is the new 200... ;-) If it's undrivable , it's a result ! lol
Love the turbines m8, but i'm gonna convert it to 5 stud, with VW hubs up front, so that pretty much f***s that idea over ! That way i can use bigger CV joints, And bolt bigger brakes on up front easier ;-)
Absolutely unbelievable grip tbh m8. Mine only runs 195 section tyres and it puts the lot down in first and second ! I did expect to have to widen the arches, but so far so good .....

Ahh yes i remember m8. I think i was rushing to get off too, so sorry for the quick departure.
The oil coolers currently seem ok, although how they will cope on a track is to be tested. I'm guessing that as the air flows underneath the car, there will be a depression once it reaches the rear engine bay, and hopefully draw the air up into them. Plans are in motion for some ducts to guide the air up to them as a backup plan.

yeah i think so, but atleast you blipped the throttle so was a nice ending of the day
i had the idea of putting an airscoop in the front bumper (like brake ducts) and run a flexible pipe trough the tunnel to aid with cooling..
how do you get it on plates in the UK? in the Netherlands it's fairly easy to get an other engine on plates (if car is <1997) however i have no idea how the tester would look when i open up the boot :quiet:

that's my thought exactly. however it'll bring other complications with it but i guess it's more 'because i can'.

get a set of grand scenic 300mm disks and Peugeot 4-pots. pretty cheap and simple...
With 500bhp, I dont think 15 inch wheels and cheap brakes are a great idea TBH.
Ive stuck with 16s on mine, seems a good compromise between not being too big for handling and not being too small for brakes.
Cheap doesn't have to equal bad
Those brembo's are designed to stop a 1450kg car so would be significant enough imo
Agreed they are good calipers, Ive used them on other things, but the 300mm disks are a compromise especially if it is a solid steel one not an ally bell IMHO
Sunday 2nd is Trax at Silverstone. I would love to be able to do even a bit of what you have done to this car. It's amazing! A serious toy.

Chris be nice to see you then

Wow just read the whole thread and I'm stuck for words. Bloody fantastic build and great workmanship of yours has gone in to building this Epic motor.
I'd also like to see this in the flesh, earlier in the posts you mentioned Bedford , what date are you attending ?

Are you going to santa pod on the 2nd andy ?
I'll tell you all something, I've driven some quick cars over the years but in 1st and 2nd gear this thing is something else
Hey up lad ! Hopefully be at pod on the 2nd, although it doesn't look like i'll be running the clio. Been on with some suspension tweaks, and tbh they aint made a right lot of difference :-( Another quick test to try before i take time out, but i should still be there even if i don't run the car. Are you going down ?
Not going to bedford ??? But fingers crossed will be down at santa pod on the 2nd september.
Amazing work mate & an amazing car you've built great work :approve:
