hey guys,
This car is causing a bit of a stir over here at the moment, so though I would share with the rest of you overseas
This car had no motor in it just days before the show... But the planning has been happening for months and months... All i got to see last time i was at the shop was it up on a hoist, with a 5" exhaust ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!
Needless to say, the guys had a deadline of last weekend - they had to finish the build in less than a week, and transport it 7 hours south (to the lnd of IJ), as well as get it driven in enough to last on the dyno at limited rpm and boost...
All they wanted to do was qualify for the Final battle, which is happening in sydney in 3 weeks... And they did (and also took out the 6cyl RWD Turbo class)... At only 8,000rpm (we haven't been told how much boost they were running yet, but i'll find out this week )... Managed to get 669rwkw (897.13rwhp) on it's first ever dyno run (and as far as i know, they haven't finished tuning it yet). As mentioned, they will be running a fkload more rpm in a few weeks time at the Final Battle).
There was a chance to post bigger numbers, but issues with the lack of an oil catch can caused problems with ignition...
Watch out for updates
