i dont know if it was half nizpro's intention, but the amount of publicity i have seen from the 1000HP+ beast would have to be worth it. its pretty much in every magazine and also many other newspapers and websites. taking it to the extreme is the performance market has and needs to grow/expand....i think its f*kn awesome seeing a Australian built/designed motor being able to acheive the same amount (and more in the future) than some japanese motors (ie 2JZ-GTE, RB26, boosted 1UZ-FE's)
GO NIZPRO!!
i heard they are putting the motor into a drag car sometime, will be interesting.
i agree great to see the Fords up and going, but a engine is for a car, i hope that engine makes it into a car and then on to a race track, whats the point of making all that good power if you cant use it...
lots of big numbers here very impresive, but are they only dyno queens?
time never lies, get the cars out on the track lets see a ET..
It's far from a dyno queen, and given Nizpro's performances on various race tracks around the country, I reckon it would be a fair bet that the results will be as impressive this time around.
The engine was thrown on the engine dyno for demo nights to show people what could be achieved with significant effort.
Of course the 'demo' engine is far from achieving its ultimate development and will, when the need arises, produce perhaps another 400-500hp (300 + kW) over its current 913kW and 1476Nm of torque.
An engine similar in nature to demo engine is being fitted into XRT8U currently and while it will be detuned slightly, it will be a daily driver, and a vehicle that will dispel any suggestions that big power can't be used on a daily basis in an everyday passenger vehicle.
The demo and another engine of a similar build will also be fitted to both road going and track only vehicles; once again to show what can be achieved.
One of the vehicles in question is a Murray Anderson built Top Doorslammer, which with the much lower weight of the Ford engine should tip the scales at around 2000 pounds, and should, once the wick is wound up (more boost, race fuel etc), good for around a 6.8 at 200mph.
But of course this has yet to happen, but be aware that this is the plan.
One of the reasons for building the demo engine was to show that the incredible amount of work undertaken in the design of the Cobra kits kit has resulted in a plenum (as one example) capable of providing silky power delivery with an engine developing say from 250rwkw, up to the 913kW combination (remembering that this same plenum will also be used when searching for 1300kW.
Likewise, the engine’s internals are – apart from the custom crank – the same as you will find in every Cobra Stage 3 kit.
