Has anyone over here put one the Nelson Racing engines in an Ultima?
The heavy cars they put the normal engines in them seen only just be able to cope, the above would scare you senseless I would say.Nelson racing do a nice 9.4 litre twin turbo which has a good linear power delivery at 10psi

17psi is also not too bad

3000 rpm 585bhp, 4000 rpm = 1000bhp. Hmm, might need to wear some shoes with thin soles.

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.

No, it was out of a book about performance cars, actually. Flagged up an R34 putting out a reliable 1200bhp.
As above, common sense suggests that the lower the specific output, the less stressed the engine. Saying that, it is doable but I'd say there are definitely easier and cheaper ways to reliably get there.Most book and magazine features about tuned Japanese cars are poorly-researched rubbish. Also remember that Skylines are Nissan's Vauxhall Omega - they certainly aren't all GT-Rs.

Besides, a 1200BHP Skyline wouldn't be able to cope with daily usage, like 1000bhp+ LSx series engines can
Disagree, you'll spend most of your time off boost in day-to-day driving in any case - you need a comparatively big turbo on a 2.6/2.8/3.0 engine to make those numbers. Wouldn't be as pleasant to use, but it would work.ManOpener said:

Agreed.Here you go:

well over 1000 brake, and TOTAL reliability!!
(finding a long enough extension lead may be an issue though..........)

While i agree some of the smaller engines can make big power and do it reliably one of the points in the first post was nothing better than shell v power, ie no e85 q/c16, ms109 or any of that jungle juice in a drum. So we can stop arguing about rb23/30 and the 2jz(supra) engines or just about anything under 5ish liters in capacity as the won't make the numbers on PULP.

A guy on the Monaro forum had his car upgraded to 1000hp (1017 on the dyno iirc). He took it to Monkfish and his only requirements were that a) it made at least 1000hp, b) that it was reliable, and c) that it would be docile enough for his missus to drive to the shops!
I think it was a stroked LS1 up to 7 litres and it had twin turbos. Harryoz was his name.

i think it may be an ls7 with 2 garrett GT37's, but i think his standard gearbox is struggling abit but he has clocked up a fair few miles in it I think it was a stroked LS1 up to 7 litres and it had twin turbos. Harryoz was his name.

Yep best way is a big yank V8 or V10 with some sort of forced induction. keep the oil fresh and the plugs 'n' points in good order and it will be very reliable. A pushrod motor is a good bet, no timing chains/belts to worry about.
Points on a 1000BHP car?

Except they have got timing chains...Forget anything euro or jap. big inch Yank V8 with a turbo or supercharger.Run it on Shell V power,put it in the car of your choice.Have tyre frying fun for ever as long as it's done right in the beginning and has regular oil changes.
