its finished !!! its finished!!!

[twilightprotege]

yeah i remember hearing about this one a little while back. damn thing is nuts! dunno if it's run yet, but should be an 8 second car pretty easy

drag racers love the hatch because it makes tubbing so so so easy and also drivetrain changes are easier with more room to play with

[shaggy 1800]

Hey people this car recently featured in NZPC (new zealand preformance car) It has done a 9.86@135mph. And is puting out 476bhp@7300rpm running 16psi of boost. any more info look at www.performancecar.co.nz.

[OFLA]

Im just gona duck off to the toilet briefly

[twilightprotege]

they must be having problems with tune and getting the power down. 7300rpm top power for a 20b is ****e! they need to be up to atleast 9000rpm. mildly tuned 20b's put out that sort of power too!

[Cosmo Dude]

Last time I was at Heathcote there was an FA4 ('77 model) 20B 323. I beleive it was the last time he ran w/o ladders as the traction at launch almost flipped the thing on its lid.

Gotta love the 20B, makes the rock ape V8 look like a boat anchor. At least a V8 keeps the front wheels on the ground ;)

[platypus]

a very good anchor by the way....

shame that intercooler is so small... they can see over the top of it... needs to be the size of a small building!!!

v. perty though, shame its such a bastardisation you wouldn't street it.....

[twilightprotege]

intercoolers dont need to be any bigger than that. that's a very thick one too.

nissan's and vl commonwhores driving around with intercoolers the size of the front of their car are just wankers. they'd be loosing power for certain

its a joke joyce :rolleyes:

[twilightprotege]

sorry loov

[MrShadow]

Oooohhhh, man.... I've gotta go change my undies now....

I remeber seeing an old falcon with a massivly done-up V8. When it was on the dyno, revving the enginge would make the whole car buck (quite a lot too), and on take-off, it would just about get up on the right rear wheel.

[skippy]

Anyone check that link for the 1000hp KL-Ze powered Holden (of some sort),

Number plate 4filth,

Without doubt the biggest intercooler I have ever seen, to match the 1400cc injectors.

[skippy]

Also anyone seen the size of the standard intercooler in 13B powered RX-7 series 6, tis tiny as in really really friggin tiny,

About the size of the top of a shoe box.

[Rupewrecht]

love the paint!

and the conversion isnt bad either ;)

An Rx-7 doesn't need a bigger intercooler unless you're putting out a lot of power or want it for show.
Remember the greater the volume between the turbo and throttle-body the higher the potential for lag. I had a series IV 13B (170kw atw) in my Cosmo and the top mount IC wouldn't exceed mid to high 30 degrees with the ducted hood.

[the michelinman]

somthing you dont see everyday!

[pr1mo]

dpes anyone know if they started with a SP20 or 1.8 shell?

[QNC-29T]

thats hot as

[SehnKhan]

Pretty sure it's from an SP20 shell Mike.

[shaggy 1800]

Just had another look at the mag it's a SP20 shell.

[tidy protege]

I love that thing

[WAR-20B]

I know this is an old post but I just found it.

Gotta love the Lawton rotorsport work. They have been converting the 323 series into RWD rotor power for years now.

Even I can have one of these.

Just take the 20B out of my Cosmo

Fit 20B into wifes SP20

Re-fit SP20 engine into Cosmo

WTF..........???

Forget it, the Cosmo aint ever going to be piston powered, its against the religion

:rolleyes:

[Ripper323]

Oh man, I think I'm in love!! That thing is a beast, now I have something to aspire to with my car!! I'll just drive the commodore on the road now!

[Rupewrecht]

The only thing better than a 20B-powered SP20

...is a 26B-powered SP20 LOL
