Who cares about spoolup!!! Even if you get 15 psi at 7k rpm, you'll have another 7k to use it :laugh:

burldude said:Well here it goes everyone flame me . I bought the valves and ignition today . Msd dis 4 and 16 titanium valves and am having custom retainers made . Still a little concerned about spoolup time but Iam working on some theories . The valves and ignition would have cost 2 grand but I got a bargain on both . The Guy upstairs might be helping this one along quicker than I though possible .![]()
Thanks for the post "jrohner" 1250 cfm @ 14,000 . OUch big turbo needed ! Maybe I am going to need a butterfly valve on the exhaust to direct exhaust for different turbos. It could depend on rpm . Deffinetly going to need some custom work there . I have been thinking in the lines of electric spoolup . Run the turbo shaft out of the intake and have a freewheeling clutch on it . Flame me I know, sure it will have to be balanced and it will need to have oil to it and it will need to have enough strength . Hmm very interesting to me

jrohner said:As for your airflow, I'm figuring nearly 1000 CFM @ 14000, and at that 14000 the thing is down like 50HP from the peak (550@12000). And the heads are unrealistically insane. 15psi boost would also be a waste of a LOT of power. Up the boost to 25 and add 170HP and that means over 1250 CFM @ 14000. Piston speed at 14000 is 8084 fpm.
I don't see how you can get a realistic 14K out of it with that stroke, take about a half inch from the stroke and then maybe you will still have power @ those revs.
I am really thinking that your whole reason for starting this topic was just to get people talking, and it's working very well. Your first setup if you are actually serious is to contact Coates (coatesengine.com) about getting a rotary valve head made for this engine. They have ran a Ford 302 to I think over 13000 with their heads.
You can get a LOT more HP from a LOT less RPMs with a LOT more boost for a LOT less $$$. Just send me some of your money instead of wasting it.![]()

Please, do us all a favor and stop posting. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Dont bother asking the f1 motor builders, theyre afraid to find out.Defiant said:So, what does happen when pistons reach the speed of sound?
kpt4321 said:It was funny at first, but now it's honestly just frustrating. We have to deal with him now, and none of us are going to get to see him fail and realize how stupid these ideas are.

Zenja said:I think most of you guys are too closed minded. You keep bringing up the question of why he would want to do this. It's simply because he wants to! Why do I, or any of us, want a fast car ? It's just a hobby and something that sounds appealing to us. You're doing what you want in your life.

Mirage2LTurbo said:I've never seen you posting before, so forgive me if you actually have a clue what you're talking about. How did you calculate these airflow numbers? I'm assuming the "550@12000" is a hp estimate at 12500rpm, how the hell did you get that? Did you take 14000rpm and divide by the number of pube hairs burldude has to get 550hp? How can you even calculate an ESTIMATED airflow without having ANY clue as to what kind of head and manifolds he's going to run, or what turbo he's going to run for that matter. You know NOTHING about his setup other than he wants titanium everything and rev to da moon!
burldude said:Good idea on the head flow chart . How much is going to have to be removed ? How far over size will the valves need to be . I have bough the valves . But what is the maximum amount the valve seat may be increased ?
Mirage2LTurbo said:I don't understand your post, rephrase?

jrohner said:No matter what he actually runs, power and rpms are very much related to airflow.
Does anyone here have some head flow data (both stock & w/ major porting), that would really help for more accurate calculations?
Akarimotorsport said:I once had an rx-7 that reved to 12,000 rpm. It blew up and I didn't have rods and pistons and valvetrain to mess with. There was no power past 9500 or 9600.
This is not possible, but the thread is long and funny to read.

BlackbirdOfPrey said:While were at it, could someone quad turbo my Talon? And can you do all the research for me too, oh and I couldn't find any 710 to put in may car where the black cap is on top of my valve cover.........
