[QUOTE=friesm2000;12619322]it is indeed a twinscroll TYVM (3rd picture down in original post)

but for quick referance:



Ok I missed the picture, want a cookie?

Figures the one picture that didn't load for me, someone is so quick to say something about it.

 

cooling...., the time in between runs is the cool down period (you see the holes for the head bolts in the block, then the other ones would be for draining the oil back from the head to the oil pan/pickups
and they probably more then likely cool the oil, itself and that is it....
as far as actually running it, remember it is basically started right before the race (it's towed normally), does the burn out, then stages, races, finishes, gets shut down, and COASTS off the track, then towed back to the pits; so what like a minute of total run time? (also remember methonal cools the intake charge when injected, so that probably helps to keep the motor cooler too)


btw: what is this....

and they might run cooling through the head itself idk, but i know the block is not water cooled at all though


and built for drag racing, nothing else

 

The Veyron makes 1,001 HP and is a reliable car. This car most likely won't be.

 

but then again twice the power (and 1/15th the cost too lol)(assuming 100k, may be more though idk)

 

Well from what I see, this is strictly a drag only car, and doesn't cost a million bucks either

But have you seen those rods, talk about beefcake.

 

Geez, the guy might as well have CNC'd the block out of titanium instead of aluminum

 

One wonders what the Raceday Weight of this car is/will be.

 

Don't give him any ideas.

 

No cooling because he said it's running methanol. I believe methanol engines are cooled by the excessive amount of methanol running through them (methanol evaporating draws heat away naturally).

No head gasket again b/c it's running methanol, and if you have no coolant you need not worry about coolant in the pistons!

 

Having a twin scroll turbo doesn't mean you need two wastegates. The two wastegates are necessary because they likely don't make a wastegate that can bypass enough exhaust gas on a turbo pushing 100 psi.

 

Machining your own block. Hole E Shit! Also who care if all the power is up there? This thing prob revs freer than anything and since the EVO is AWD they are prob launching it pretty high in the revs to begin with.

 

This car probably isn't too far behind. Keep in mind this is just the engine build, and I'd be fairly confident in saying it's at least a $200,000+ build (Spyros said this was one of those "unlimited budget builds") on that portion between the uberexclusive parts and the labor for a shop like this to do all the work. Depending on the amount of work involved in the rest of the car's aspects, it's probably at least another $100,000or so invested. Maybe not a million dollars total, but still enough that the owner could have purchased a supercar for the same amount.

 

just fyi- the only goal was to build the most powerful 4G63 in the world. tractability is a non-issue.

 

, most professional dedicated race cars are well over 100k in order to replace, by the time you add in all the labor and materials (and high dollar parts too) it takes to build them (ie: you could be looking at 20+ hours just for a full-on rollcage, which at say $100 an hour, is $2000, and that is not even including the materials needed, and that is also not including stitch welding the chassis either, in order to achieve max rigidity)

 

In that case, will it be a show car then?

 

Does it really count as a 4G63 if he machined his own block?

Props for the build though. I want videos of a 2k rpm -> redline pull.
