[Raysboostin]

i didnt know ppl were paying $3/L for e85. getting ripped much?? i thought c16 was expensive at $2.50/L

but on topic. i remember seeing this car before it was finnished (@ lakeside i think???) and thinking god damn thats gonna be fast!!

[johnbarry88]

I was wondering if this GTR will be competing in the Motive GTR challenge this year.

[MercuryMotorsport]

We are seriously considering it.

[jangles]

Trent,

Just like to say good luck at the upcoming Autosalon.

Having seen the process of the engine work im sure you will crack the magic number you are aiming for

Thanks Dave,

We were extremely happy to get 1000hp on E85, not sure if that had been done before, but to push it further now we are switching to c16 and more boost. The engine had perfect compression after the power cruise event, so we are happy to step up the power and see how it goes. Obviously the GT4788R is a big turbo, so there should be plenty of room to move from its current power figure. Fingers crossed it performs well at Autosalon. If it does, we will make the trek to Autosalon Sydney with a few more goodies added to it to go even further.

Big? Trent that thing is HUGE you almost need some cut and shut engine mounts just to hold it in place.

any better shot of the dyno chart from this? I am interested in seeing what the power band looks like.

200hp @ 6000rpm, 800hp @ 7000rpm.

200hp @ 6000rpm, 800hp @ 7000rpm.

Holy. Shit. Talk about a serious PUNCH, just a shame it takes so long for it....why so little power at 6000rpm though? I mean my R33 pulls harder than that lol

[TiTAN]

your turbo is on full boost by then, they are just starting to spool.

[MercuryMotorsport]

The engine is designed for serious horsepower, so there has to be a fair number of compromises along the way with the build to ensure it will handle what we plan to do with it. One of those compromises is response. There are many factors, but some of them are comp ratio, camshaft size, camgear tuning, exhaust manifold sizing, the size of the turbo etc. We will be compensating for this with a shot of NOS, to get the car onto boost, hopefully around the 5500rpm mark. That would make the setup a lot more enjoyable, although it is pretty freakin cool when it comes on! BTW, there is no lag between gears. It falls back onto full boost.

I'll bet its fun.

What secret spec cams are you running?

In all seriousness have a look at wizard of nos nitrous products.... they are light years ahead of the holley/NOS- NX- Nitrex etc. I've had first hand experience with Trev's gear on a 1800hp GT40 (plus nitrous) at some standing mile events and I have bought a full direct port set up for my own RB28.

It's exy- but it's well reaserched and tested technology.

We were just going to use a Zex wet, single fogger kit which we already have here, controlled by the ECU to turn on and off based on rpm and boost. For spool up, that should be pretty easy to achieve.
