Wow

Feck!

Race gas though, right?

Wow

I ain't no expert in engine tolerances...but surely a 4.0 engine at this level of tune must be on the edge of going pop?

Certainly more stress per cylinder and in hot v configuration. Time will tell. Stunning results though.

Anyone got any info on whats actually been done to it ?.

250bhp per litre is pushing some yes, the most powerful production 2.0 car is Mercedes A45 AMG with 355bhp (177.5bhp per litre) although rumours of a Golf R 420 (415bhp) would see that record shattered at 207.5bhp per litre. Not sure that will see production though as it's going to be a challenge for VW to warranty that over 3yrs / 60k miles.

Of course you have tuned Nissan GTR's with 3.8-4.0 engines doing 1500hp+ but with extensive engine rebuild modifications to keep that in line.

Would be interested to see how this 1002bhp is made up, race gas may be adding a good 100bhp+ to that over standard 99. Obviously on some sort of hybrid turbo / big turbo platform too. The big question is if it's on standard engine and gearbox internals and whether the standard block can handle that. 550 upto 1000 is around an 80% increase, tolerance wise, I would say anything above 50-60% is pushing it.

What he said.

You'd hope significant strengthening has taken place to the internals as that's one hell of an output.

Bet it's a huge inducer of giggles though:)

The standard Mitsubishi Evo FQ400 is 200 bhp per litre and can be tuned to a lot more, the increase on this one seems a bit extreme really!

There was a FQ-440 MR with 450PS.

One of my cars is over 250bhp per litre

Its not that big a deal really, so long as the engine is built right. Plenty of cars out there with over 400bhp/litre albeit not daily drivers for the most part, my next big engine will be a V8TT with around 1200bhp hopefully from 4.8ish depending on final spec.

Rule #1

Not sure how it helps,

lol

I'll post up the dyno sheet when it gets mapped on the new spec later this year, should be over 550bhp this time, engine spec for easily 700+ but with smallish turbo - GTX3073HTA.

V8 is also a Nissan engine Im afraid.
