Tomei etc is your only option for ready to go engines at that power output.

looking for something local. there surely has to be somewhere.

Is it wise to put an expensive high output engine into a cheap car?

I'm no racer by any stretch, but I haven't heard of any race cars with a 1000hp engine. As far as business sense goes, it doesn't make a lot of sense to manufacture multiple extremely high power engines and have them sit around waiting for a customer that wants to buy off-the-shelf.

All the best with your search.

This is so true theres a lot more to it than a big engine as many ppl find out.

its already been setup for racing, but it still retains the sleeper look, and by cheap, i mean it in relative terms to the cost of making a race car. not a car i found for say $1000...

thx

1000hp+ is too much for a run of the mill race car.

reliability.. lol what reliability. 1000hp+ is really only good for a blat down the 1/4 a few times then pull it down again for a rebuild.

but expect to pay upwards of 20k for a motor with internals and then a pile more for all the supporting hardware to make 1k of power..

be it a tomei, hks, jun etc built mill, you will be up for big money

i can get aspirated v8s aroun the 18-20k mark, but id prefer a turbo engine.. hmm i guess ill keep looking. n its predominantly for the 1/4s.

powerplay sell 700hp gtr motors but they are for circuit not drags, turbos will be too small, and only 2.7l

keithblack engines do a street alloy hemi engine that would be perfect as a twin turbo setup, 500+ cubic inches with various crank stroke options. Lighter than the cast iron RB motors too. You just need to shoe horn it in and fit a strong gearbox to it.

rotors! check out the mazfix website. they have big hp engines for 3-8k

[SRB]

seriously considering a rotor! brother's mates with paccy, goin down there tomoro to see how much they want for an engine package! wouldnt mind one either, that sound!! lol

woah hold up u want to put a 1000hp engine in a shit box? ok firstly ull be putting out to much torque.. if its a E/W engine ur lookin at groundint ur engine into front bar. N/S ur looking at twisting ur chassis. if u want power u got to strengthen everything.. driveline, body, brakes. u cant exactly chuck a 1000hp engine into a datto and expect it to last a run.!

even 1000hp on a stock everything else GTR is a bit much IMO.. suspension wise.. prob wont hold up. and brakes wont stop. how will ur mounts hold? the chassis rails r strong but not bullet proof.

dnt go killing urself mate

[SRB]

i never said shit box, i said cheap car, n this car has pretty much all the precautions taken to withstand that power figure, as i said earlier, its a relatively cheap car, not a dirt cheap shit box!

What about giving proengines a call?

http://proengines.com.au/

Their posts on here are always very helpful.

Pro Engines will be able to put something together for you, they are down in Queanbeyan (5 minutes out of Canberra).

Its not going to be cheap though... I know someone who recently had a GTR built which is capable of handling this amount of power (engine, driveline etc) and you could probably own 1/3 of a decent house for the money it cost.

If you got the cash, good on ya, keep us updated with how it goes

[markimak]

aye.. ok so cheap car.. eg like what.. hopefully a nissan.. little hints would be nice

[Beer Baron]

what kind of car is it?
