Well i wanted to start this thread to try and get some of you giving me views on this.
One of the guys i talk to who runs a car magazine has just had his XR8 engine stripped because it developed a pop at idle and driving.
He had a Super charger (Vortec) fitted with no inter cooler and it was making a constant 440 rwhp. ( as a side note the exact same kit on a 260 kw holden running same boost only makes 380 rwhp!) ANyways back to it. He had the engine stripped and after a year of thrashing and constant boost ect the engine was stripped and was found to have only one thou bore outta round. Now i think thats not a bad effort. Engine was added some comp and new pistons and rods and an inter cooler.
Now its making 500+ at the wheels and had to just have the clutch done as it started slipping at 200 kph under full throttle bursts! This car LIGHTS the wheels 1,2,3,4 with ease. Not a bad effort.. now to convince him to take it to the track!
Also The guy that did the pull down and rebiuld has also sourced some after market ALLY blocks!. WIth the potential of 6 litres hes just ordered 2! HELLO!
a 6 LITRE boss with the top end power that these engines produce with these cylinder heads!.. bring it on! Either turbos or super chargers and a nice 7500 rpm limit and you have yourself a real nice streeter!
I'm a big fan of the blower kits after having had a run in a blown BA XR8 Stage 2 CAPA kit. BIG fan!
