Soooo.... Im just thinking... planning.. whatever.
My idea for when I have a trani to back up the v8, is to do a turbo... What I see with the v8's is the tq band.. Its Huge down low, and its a mirror reflection of the hp band.. If I went with a turbo with the 350.. that tq band would be level till 3.5k or so, then follow the hp band.... Ideal.... Also, you wouldnt have a "radical" engine, and could maintain decent fuel economy. Obviously I would make my own system to fit in the engine compartment, and I would probably go with FI as well, also twin turbo makes sense as well because of placement, and spool up time. Im thinking a moderate 500 hp on 5 or 6 psi on a To4... Heres a couple ebay auctions http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://www.damagedreality.com/index2.html (IMG:http://media.damagedreality.com/350twinturbo3.jpg) Eye candy.... FI could be 1k.... Turbo setup could be 1-10k..... Eh... I need a trani.... |

I'll be looking into that pantera trani... I know one guy has it with good results..
Josh.. Why not supercharged? Well.. A supercharger is GREAT from idle on up.. but it will KILL the top end... Since where talking a already powerful 400tq v8.. It doesnt need much down low to get the little 914 up to speed.. Now a turbo will kick in at 3.5 or 3.0k... Just about when the tq band dies. Thus producing a very efficient, insanely quick car... But mainly.. Its the sound. Im not kidding you dude.. The sound is so intoxicating... Big old turbo's, free flowing intake/exhaust... Dude.... I need to give you a ride in the race car.. |
