It's in Nm. So approximately 220 ft lbs

 

still not too shabby

 

 

I think what you going is great, fantasic, cutting edge, pushing what we have to new limits. But it is nothing that I would want to spend the money doing. I think a properly sized and tuned turbo almost gets you there. Yes you will have a little more low end torque but the S revs so quickly I do not know if it would make a difference. Add to that the complexity of the system and the tune, there are just to many things to keep running. Keep up the good work, appreciate you posts and updates.

 

I agree, I mean if you really wanted to best duplicate this power and curve, you would just do the v8 conversion. All the power and simplicity/reliability of a N/A motor. BUT this is way more interesting and fun, and I am glad someone has the financial resources to implement and see it through to fruition. Love it ...and Love isnt always a matter of practicality

 

LOL, exactly! Sometimes love is crazy and doesn't make sense. I too am glad to see people like you guys thinking outside the box and doing something crazy for the love of it.

Why do it? Because its f**king awesome, that's why.

Enjoyed reading through this thread and look forward to more updates.

 

How are you handling all the heat under there this is amazing by the way

 

Funny you would say that: Overheating thread


I tested the car on track. The Turbo/Supercharger is definitely working but the engine is overheating. I won't repost everything, it's in that thread.
Any help on the issue is appreciated!

 

We completely changed the setup. Air from supercharger is going to the turbo first, being intercooled, then to the intake manifold.

First serious dyno at 1.35bar. Back to back 91octane against e85.

 

That torque curve is madness. Would like to see how you're plumbing this out
