The new Factory approved LS engine

A 427 with a twin turbo giving 1100 bhp on regular fuel resulting in a "Oh happy day, la, la la !!" drive in the country mode, a little turn of he dial and you have 1600 bhp on full boost resulting in instant G-Force induced haemorrhoids.
Pass me the 'Preperation -H'

What tranny is he using to handle the hp/torque?

Ummm....that's not an LS engine, its a small block. Its also not a factory approved engine.

..... and you'd never be able to get grip with 1650hp.

If you wanna see a TT LS engine in an Ultima

I'd seen that vid before, but what I didn't notice last time was the speed that his printer must work. I don't doubt the capability of the engine, but surely those printouts can't be of the dyno runs that you are shown.

well I assume he's edited the film, becuase he doesn't half walk round to the engine quickly to adjust the boost also.

If you pause the vid you can see at the bottom of the readout "inertia factor 1.16"

.... this may be an assumption on driveline loss, if it is a correction factor for atmospheric conditions its a bit cheeky.

My maths aint the best but take that out of the equation and that's 969.9 bhp, thats a lot of power.

Is an engine like that useable ?, I mean surely you would have to take a mechanic with you every time you popped down to the shops.

nelson racing engine have been proven to be verry reliable. im sorry but anyone offering 1000+bhp (and this includes Jeffs amazing work) must be 100% sure that their engines will last.

also worth noting that Nelson is moving into the LSx world. they are reputed to be building a couple of 2300bhp LSX engine for customers. they have a vid of a near 2000bhp SBC on thir website.

as othershave said though, in a platform like the Ultima, its going to take alot of electronics to keep an engine like that under control.

thanks Chris.

PS. might be worht asking about Nelsons 427 NA engine options. they have some pretty impresive stuff and they should beable to get them all to fit in an ultima.

^^^ ahhh.... Chris..... was wondering how long it would take you to step up

I know I've tested my personal 1000+bhp over 8000 miles in my Ultima GTR this year alone. With no mechanical issues I might add.
Not sure of any other engine builders having done that.

thanks
