Have you guys seen the WRX drivetrain implanted into a mighty-boy? Heller good power-weight ratio methinks! ! - more like a suzuki mightyboy grafted onto a WRX drivetrain really. . .


This is COMPLETELY unrelated, but I had a quick peek at the latest edition of MOTORSPORT mag before xmas - "When Turbos ruled the earth" - The 1.5L HART 4cyl turbo in Senna's Toleman F1 was designed/built/run on a shoestring budget, and cranked out 500hp at first, then 600+, but they couldn't keep it together with any more boost being crammed into it. Then they had the idea of casting the cylinder head and Block in one piece, eliminating the troublesome head gasket. I think they got at least another 100hp out of it straight away, which to me, is pretty impressive ! !

There's probably some knob out there thinking "so what, 750hp from an F1? Skyline GTRs make 1000hp with a stock crank." - Did I mention it's from 1.5L ? ? with a development budget probably not that much bigger than the big jap tuning houses that first started pulling big hp from godzillas. .



anyhoo . . Confused
