Best way to get a reliable1000 BHP?

[RWD cossie wil]

Ok, time for a bit of creative PH thinking ... What is the best & most cost effective way to get 1000 Bhp under your right foot? Rules are:

1)No Nitrous or race fuel, Shell V power is the best fuel you are allowed to use.
2)Superchargers & Turbos are fine.
3)Must have a chance of real world reliability/reusability, so an ex F1 1500cc Turbo engine is nice, but not really in the spirit of things!
4)Realistic prices, no "buy a Veyron" comments!
5) you can "buy" a car and tune it, or just build an engine to stick into the project of your choice!

GO!

What do you mean by reliable?

Something that will make it to the end of a quarter mile before blowing up? Last a track day? Run for years on end driving to the shops with minimal servicing?

[DaveL485]

Budget?

Yep for big horsepower and reliability, you need a big engine really.

[PabloTeK]

Chevvy 572 with a couple of enormous supercahrgers should just about do it, not so sure the MPG would be so good though

[mxspyder]

In the absence of a Budget I would...

Golf GTI 30th Anniversary = 230BHP (daily drive)
BMW M3 = 420BHP (Weekend fun)
Standard Escort Cosworth = 220BHP (weekend and fancy a cruise)
Mazda MX5 MK1 1.8 = 130BHP (Summer fun)

Total = 1000BHP

Probably the most reliable 1000BHP you could own!

If you want it in one car it will have to be Japanese and it will cost you more than this lot put together!

I seem to remember reading about that 1000bhp skyline that the jap tuning house top secret built, and i think they reckoned it would cost well over £100k to replicate it. This is back in the day somewhat, mid to late 90's i think

Plenty of US cars reliably running this sort of setup and all for less than the cost of a set of tyres for a VW Veyron

[Twincam16]

Nissan Skylines will easily handle in excess of this with excessive tuning. They'll still undercut most exotica even when tuned too, and they'll be reliable.

V16 quad turbo caterpillar diesel

Okay it weighs a ton

Literally over a ton

I thought that tuning Skylines in excess of 600bhp starts to get expensive and unreliable.



My vote would be a 'charged american V engine. Didnt a company release a 1000bhp twinturbo setup for a viper?

The car is licensed here in California. In California, new cars have bi-annual smog inspections so if you modify the engine, it is likely to fail the inspection and you won't be able to drive it on the street. There are some exempt engine modifications (ex. after-cat mufflers - big deal) but none that will allow you to add 1350 hp to a new car.

Two fingers to poorly conceived eco-laws= WIN

Being a hybrid, would it be congestion exempt?

Cummins QST30 is good for 1500hp and has a nice 3 year/ 10,000 hour warranty.

[jonno990]

I don't know how much it cost or how reliable it is but it has 2000 bhp and I really really want it!
