SAUers,

Found this old mag (Wheels, July 1990) whilst cleaning out the home office. I scanned it thinking some of you may be interested.

The article cites 576bhp @1.8Bar, driving 1325kg car. That was 15 years ago...

Elsewhere in the mag there is an article on the 'new' 5.0L Ford HO motor. "Ford's brawny V8 is back with a vengeance" and 165kW. :P

Mark

PS I've got it in a larger .pdf that's around 1.8Mb, if it's hard to read or for bigger pics.

PPS Check the filename for the page order, the comp has loaded them back to front.

Sent to all above addresses and PM's.

Guerilla: It's no trouble - for what I've taken out of SAU, it's the least I can do.

Intensevil: Thanks dude. If you PM me the link I'll edit the first post to make it easier for everyone else and save the wait. Cheers

Mark

    • So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?
    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao 
    • It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.
    • 800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.
