good to see some proper horsepower coming out of the duratec

(watching the gearbox solution closely)

Is that about to go in a car somewhere?

On an engine dyno aswell.
Tidy numbers... 728 lbs ft @7000 RPM
Read it and weep!!

Very impressive. However, it still wouldn't beat a Vauxhall Corsa out of Maccy Dees. They have like a squillion HP.

So is that going in the M600 to make it MLOTS!!!

I think one of the posters had it spot on. Top end looks like nitros being added.

[Mike Tuckwood]

If you look closely at the graph sheet, it says NOS on it for the run details?


Mike

[Adrian W]

so what bhp and torque could the NOS be worth?

[Mike Tuckwood]

Depends how much they're using? That's very High power for "normal" fuel as well, would be surprised if there wasn't some sort of race fuel being used?


Mike.

What’s this???? Mike and Mr Angry having a civil debate!!!!....it won’t last lol

[art411y]

bit like the white jag xjs on topgear then with the kings of nos .nice way to kill an engine though

[Gadgeroonie]

the thing that amazes me is it uses a stock AER bottom end !

[andygtt]

Nos is even more effective in a turbo charged engine so could be 400bhp easily... also helps spool up and everything so you cant guage anything about the engines performance without the Nos.

They could however be using the Nos just to keep things in check, ie for combustion cooling etc etc and just putting in a very small shot... but still when the Nos runs out it will revert to a much lower state of tune.

Guess it does show that the internals can take that kind of power tho

Yeah, but as Arty says, for how long?

It's always interesting doing VMAX at Bruntingthorpe. There's always some 'mega' HP claims by some people, but nearly 2 miles of full throttle sorts the dyno queens from the properly sorted cars. There were 2 (non Noble) cars at the end of the runway with fire engines trying to save them last time, as various bits of their engines had given up.

nos is cheating imho

Hmm very mis-leading from the op not mentioning the NOS.
Can't agree about thr cheating bit though. you pays your money you take your chance.
I suspect that the op won't use such a big hit after he does the first crank, valve-head or piston crown though
Clearly a Drag strip merchant.IMO.

....and, it's not in an M12.
