800bhp + DIY Project

Probably been custom made that. I don't think it'll be too expensive depending on its internals - if it's got air straighteners or tumble mods etc. It's it's a large hollow plenum I can't see it being more than £400 to make eh.

Agreed but its so difficult to find someone who will fab anything up. there is nothing inside. there is a pic on the net but I cant find it again.

Did some VCDS logs tonight. Standard boost pressure is for the most part 1.2 bar of boost.

This maybe of interest Paul, lot more noise from turbos etc on this car, slightly more believable it makes 1000 over Olsons car!!

Could that car be any higher off the ground?!

You commented on that rather than the gash colour ??

[bam_bam]

I like a blue waffle but I agree, that's a horrid colour. But really, doing a VMAX with the car skyhigh stands out more than a gash colour, to me anyways.

Looks like is needs the height so that the rear can squat about 3-4in (maybe more) to gain extra traction with all that power, although its usually done more for RWD cars.

PS Don't mind the colour, especially on a "show car" like that. I must be going blind

From what I can gather 1000bhp is pretty easy. Chuck on big turbos, sort out the inlet and exhaust, the tricky bit is going to be the CC. Forge are making a bigger CC radiator but not addressing the strangled flow due to the physical size of the CC. I believe TTE are looking at addressing the physical size of the CC but looking at it, its going to be tricky and / or a messy intercooler upgrade.

I guess I will have to look at uprated fuel pumps as well

by the time I have inlet and exhaust sorted hopefully there will be an off the shelf CC or IC upgrade. That will be the deciding factor for me, either stick with medium turbos and 800ish or huge turbos for 1000

That 1000bhp RS6 looks bloody fast

[Paulm]

I think 800bhp is going to be a sensible limit in terms of cost vs power. looking at the CC today there is absolutely no room for anything. Need to wait until one of the big boys figures out a fix for the tiny CC.

you can see how small the cooler is in relation to my hand also how close the cooler is to the front of the car. Its basically squeezed in there.

[Shinobi675]

To be fair Paul, that's quite a big hand!

[MikeFish]

Wow, that is a tiny cooler! You can tell how small it is by looking at the size of the oil cap.

[Paulm]

So I have normal sized hands then? Lol

[bam_bam]

Not the most effeminate hands I've seen posted on this forum but they're close, they're only just mildly more masculine than that charge cooler.

You really need to mention to your wife about a hand wax
