I saw that ....

the motor is now a 2.5 liter ...but I think Mihnea can tell more ...

[Martynf]

you have to admire the detail n this car, very very good work. I personally....! think the front end is not 'balanced' ie the lower grille is huge, and then the four ring badge is too small. But hey! who the hell am I to pass comment! that is a very nice car!! 9.5 / 10

I tuned that


Details about the car: basis is ADU motor, stroked to 2.5 liter (secret crank), carillo custom rods that can handle up to 1000 HP, Arias pistons with 7:1 compression ratio, modified block and oil squirters, fully ported and polished head, custom cams from CatCams (BIG cams, 12mm of lift on the intake side), sport quattro exhaust manifold, hybrid K27 (sport quattro hot side, truck K27 cold side, larger than life compressor inlet), MTM intake manifold, custom IC (hence the slightly "unbalanced" front bumper), big injectors courtesy of myself, adjustable fuel pressure regulator and that's about it. Oh yeah, front mount oil cooler and aux radiator deleted.

Car is now running 2 Bar peak boost, 1.9 up to 5500 RPM, 1.8 at 6000 and 1.55 at 7000 (it's barely broken in, it has only 4200 kms on the engine) but will soon get more, target HP is 500+, the next tuning stage will be 2.3 bar peak boost (thanks to my special 3.5 Bar MAP sensors and appropriate programming), 2 bar constant boost up to 6k RPM and 1.8 at 7k for longevity reasons. Rev limiter is now set to 7600 RPM and it still feels as there could be 1000 more RPMs but unfortunately, the hydraulic lifters won't survive at more than 7600 RPM so we've set the limit there and it won't go further.

There's loads more to be had from it, the engine is still running a bit rich between 3000 and 5000 (boost comes on hard at 3500 RPM in 2nd or 3rd gear, lower in the higher gears but we couldn't test it properly yesterday as we got some very heavy rain and keeping the car in a straight line at WOT in 3rd gear was hardly manageable), I guess right now it's making about 400 HP by the way it pulls, but we won't give up until it has reached the magical 500 mark

Cheers all and thanks to Phil for the pics!

That is just too clean - awesome beast - I'll forgive the big hole in the bumper as it has a purpose.

Does it only have the standard radiator on the car? No auxillary? Is that good enough?

Mihnea - you should take pics of all the cars you tune and have a gallery of them - That would be a cool website
