titanium billet cams anyone?? 400+hp n/a yb

[MK1 Paul]

not sure if anyone has seen this guys work before.
He's Greek and very creative thinker.
theres a link to the original thread in there and IMhO its well worth a read if not a bit of a language barrier
but we're not americans, so should do ok ;B)

Yes, a true money no object build.

Just a pitty he used an aussie sourced block for and has ground off the manufacturers details to claim as his own though....

I hear what your saying Momus
I dont know, i read the long version which is linked in the first post from that URL.
Where he mentions why he's gone for ultralight parts and talks about induction and exhaust harmonic's.

So you telling me 415hp n/a out of a yb isnt any good? or is commonly seen.
as for the pistons I thought they looked like supertech's pistons when I first read it.

Shaun
and no he didn't claim the block as his own , but he also didn't mention any of the manufacturers until questioned later which is a pitty. bear in mind hes writing in a second language.

As soon as they took resposibilty for the 415hp YB they lost me!

415 hp n/a yb ??
sounds like a 200+ hp kent

tell him he,s dreaming son !

[gen mk 1rs2000]

a 300 h/p pinto will be the next thing ???

[MK1 Paul]

btw I put this up as interesting read and not as I believe every word he is saying.

200 hp from a NA 1700 cc Kent should be possible.

All you need to do is organise good enough breathing and combustion to support 120 lb/ft at 8750 rpm and you will have 200 hp. It represents about 120 hp per litre. Current 2 valve V8's in V8 Supercar are making more than 120 at a low 7500. Cranks and rods up to the job are not a problem. I'd imagine a big end bearing diameter of 35 mm to cut friction The heavy, thermally challenged piston's issues could be helped with oil gallery diesel engine cooling technology if required. A highly finished tool steel cam and appropriate lifters should be good to 10000 rpm.


400 from a NA 2000cc YB would involve organising breathing and rotating/reciprocating to support 12500 rpm and an equal to Nascar and F1 specific torque output.

Thinking of above ...............

I recently came across this site......I have some good tips from it !

Not sure why that bloke is bothering with Garrett turbos. He's obviously not thinking big enough. Someone ought to put him onto ABB.
