Some of you may have already seen this, but looks pretty nice, not as nice as the Mazda Furai, but still nice :laugh:

You can google for more specs eg.,

Basically they want M3 performance with Prius economy.

a PROPER hybrid, none of this Toyota "i'm supposedly good the environment" Prius rubbish. Hurry up and release a practical example of this, with all the running gear.

wonder how hard it would be to make one of these from an existing car... diesel/electric that is...

It looks awesome...

But I've already contacted two dealers about the LEAF but they're not taking orders yet... ...it looks like it will kick the iMiEV's ass... ...But we'll have to wait two years longer for Nissan to bring theirs to Australia...

In the mean time I just need to save up the coin for my own project...

fully electric cars are the way of the future for general commuting with the hybrid being good for long distances, when they can make a car that can be run solely on electric and recharged from home but still have a diesel engine for long range then they will have made the perfect hybrid.

Check out the Zero Carbon Car... ...it has a small bio diesel generator in the boot to recharge the batteries if the trips get a little too long...

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
