With just a basic built non turbo or N20 chevy small block it hits a 0-60 in 3.3..

An aluminum twin turbo big block with Batten heads built by duttweiller should make MR Saleen cower in the corner and pee...

These vids rock

Thanks for the link, I saved it so I can watch them again and show some friends. Nice sight.




The Ultima GTR was fully road legal, fitted with road tyres, built to a standard factory specification and it was driven to and from each test venue!

The world beating performance figures obtained are:

0-60mph
2.7secs

0-100mph
5.5secs

0-150mph
11.8secs

30-70mph
2.0secs

0-100mph-0
10.3secs

100mph-0 Braking
3.9secs

Speed Achieved
204mph on the Bruntingthorpe straight

Top Speed
231mph est. (gearing limited)

Standing ¼ mile
10.5secs @ 140mph terminal*



The Ultima used was fitted with a Chevrolet V8 of 377cu (6177cc). Along with the immense power (641bhp), the engine delivers an earth-spinning 545 ft/lbs of torque through its Porsche G50 transmission.

a guy around here (millwaukee area) owns a red sallene like that ...dude actually takes that beast on the streets..

that Ultima is one fast mofo. How come I didn't know about this?

saleen s7's are crazy and then to TT it that is insane, but i still think i would rather have the chrysler me-412.

 

[spades_gsx]

they did a special in discovery channel about supercars awhile back. They said the s7 has a panel underneath the whole car that make the whole under carriage flat. the aerodynamics are so well engineered that at the right speed and if a surface was possible the s7 could drive upside because of all the downforce.

It'd have to be a pretty high speed. I know F1 cars could theoretically do the same, but they have a whole lot more downforce.

I think I would have to take one of these http://www.lingenfelter.com/images/CF427TT_eprint.pdf

 

[BoostInsideTSi]

these cars are pretty nice.. no talon or eclipse.. but they are descent...

 

[sjwelna]

I bet that Air filter can't keep up with both of those turbo's on a V8. Needs more surface area.

:laugh: I was just thinking that EXACT same thing.......sweet lookin machine though.

does 412 mean the amount of damn light bulbs it has in its taillights......damn

 

[endlessMyk]

Having a debate with a friend on this for a while....

worth it or not to twin turbo a 4g63t? Even possible? He said he's seen it done, but it's retarded... i have no idea, never thought about that.. i've just thought about upgrading mine... I think he said it was set up with a small turbo to boost quick, and a larger turbo to handle the high end...

What do you guys think? Do you know of anyone who's done this?

 

[Tatanko]

Expensive, and in my opinion, a waste of time.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

It's been done once a long time ago.

How about searching an reading through some of these thread about it.

[boostaddictgsx]

theres a guy in my town with a 2.9 0-60 Ultima, its crazy ass, i don't know what motor he has in there, he takes it to cruise nights and other ish, its NOICE

 

[harryb]

I'll take this instead

Half the price and 9.99sec 1/4 mile.

I still hate Motor Trend for that crappy article. They ran all those times on slicks, they strapped on street tires for a few runs and they were quite a bit slower. But they really only made the slick times public and the big news. Eh, Hennessy is still a bad business man, builds powerful cars but has had tons of customer problems.

Personally, I love the Saleen S7's lines and got to sit in one a year or two ago at the Seattle Auto Show, extremely nice. My top choice would either be the Bugatti 16/4 Veyron, the Ultima GTR (love em, love em) or a Porsche Carrera GT since we are all naming what fantasy car we'd love to have.

i saw the me 412 run the autocross course at the sema show in vegas a couple of months ago, that thing flat out hauls a**. and it sounds awesome. the engineer driving it said he was hardly pushing it and it still rocked. i have a 20 sec vid of its run i may try to post if anyones interested.

[~laser_craver~]

i have searched this topic and have found people talking about sequential turbo setups and stuff but nothing really on this exact topic so.... I was wondering if some one has or if it is possible to run a twin turbo setup on a 1g??? I know it is probably possible but would it work??? I was just throwing ideas around today and was like wow ill make my laser a laser rs tt ... now for a setup i was thinking it would come down like a normal manifold and then Y and each to a turbo... then the 2 o2 housings come back together or just have dual exhaust....for the intake i would run 2 seperate intake pipes or would it be more practicle to have and intake that y to each turbo??? and the ic piping would Y together and route threw the fmic just like it used to.... please dont bash me or tell me this is a waste of time i am really thinking about doing this and i wanted to know if it would work or if a single turbo would be more powerful??? or power efficient if thats even a word

There's no point. It's easier to make more power with a single turbo, especially on a 4 cylinder.


I wish I was a mod so I could close this.
