If you are referring to me and my post then you should read more carefully...

i never said that we can build cars and noone else can.

in a humorous way i said that we are excessive some times when we build cars and different in some ways! Then i posted a couple of your cars just to keep the thread going.

Now for the people who find this post pointless, well good for you. Nobody tried to make a point here. Just showed something different on a modified Evo... Worldwide people are using other, sometimes non-conventional, means to make a car go faster and thats what i showed here...

And now i am laughing because tonight when i go home i will post another non-conventional car built in Greece... A Ford Escort MK-II (the rally fans now it) with a 1.9 liter Naturally Aspirated engine which pushes around 450 hp and revs to 13000 rpm!!! Beat That!!!

This thread needs to stop there is no real info on the car this is pointless. And who cares about this we all know this is going to be a dyno queen no matter the best this car would do is 9 seconds on the bottle anyways.

I mean lets be for real there is no way the stock radiator will cool down all the heat that turbo is going to produce and running stock ignition yea its going far.

Well, no one said if the car was done yet, I'm sure the ignition will be upgraded. You couldn't even tune that car with the stock ignition.

No one knows what motor is in it, could be 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4. If the motor only needs to stay together for a couple trips down the 1/4mi they might rev it out to 12k-13k rpm, maybe higher. No one knows the gear ratio's either, you could gear it to take advantage of the powerband.

Since this is obviously a drag only car, the radiator isn't a big concern. If this car were involved in time attack it might be an issue. Think of AMS or Buschur's small radiator kits, they work fine on 42r cars. The stock radiator cools better than both of the smaller ones I mentioned.

Bottom line, there's not enough info for anyone to discount the potential of this car.

Guys even small 2 liter engines can spool huge turbos, and of course probably the only use would drag racing...

For example...

Ford Escort MK-II with a YB Cosworth engine!





As you can see the turbo is bigger than the block, however it works good enough in order to propel this Escort dragcar in the low 7s!!!

I agree with the other people and say that we need more info on the evo before we can speculate. And BTW, I am diggin all the Greek cars.

That's gotta SUCK to drive.

But for that 200rpm range up top, you probably would make sick power...and have to shift instantly. :/

Any "tricks" in getting a small motor to spool a large turbo, besides the obvious?
