I have no doubts at all of the hp that can be achieved with this motor, it's the way he wrote the hp "claim".
is the hp; estimated or real (proven)? |

I believe that it is possible to get that kind of HP from a T4 but my question is this, will the rest of the motor take the abuse of 340hp? To get 1000 hp from a turbo CART engine is easy @ 65 inches of boost but just one little itty bitty thing go wrong @ 17,000rpm and poof...its all gone.
What rpm would you have to run this engine at to get 300+ hp. You won't do it @ 5000rpm. Maybe 8000rpm+ and would the T4 crank and bearings take that kind of forces? Would the connecting rod and pistons stay together for very long? I just wish I had the money to try. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

I agree, 320hp but for how long?
Those sand rails don't really "hook up" to put any stress on the drive train like a car on pavement does. OK, disagree with me now. Paul |
