To all the comments regarding custom work etc....
I dont get the reticence to have to actually undertake work on the car. Part of the enjoyment of working on the car is actually solving the problems and turning a plan into reality - or dont you guys get that part..? For anyone that has put the hybrid engine in, it wasn't exactly a straight drop in, and there is plenty of custom work as a result. I didnt mention a limit on funds for the project, nor a requirement to have a drop in solution....
To all the comments regrding stick with the RB engine....
Yes it makes 370RwKW, yes its tough as f**ck, but its done, and im up for something new. I may sell the engine, and all the other parts, or i may just keep hold and see what happens. But the previous engine is done, and now will sit with low Km's on it until it has a new home. And you cannot beat the sound of a V8 !
Anyone concerned about the state of the engine.....
Being stripped and rebuilt, so will have full checks etc before rebuild.
So thanks for the later posts from those people commenting on original ideas for blown/FI on the engine - i think the consensus is that it creates too much power than is usable given the torque already generated.
For those that think its too much hassle - thats fine, stick with your own plans - lets be honest you didnt have to comment/post, and seeing as we wont ever meet, you just wasted 2 minutes of your life posting.
For those with similar projects undertaken/or planned, i may create a project thread so we can have a usefull conversation and record for others interested.
