That is awesome!

 

i said you might be able to run gt35. the ls1 is externally, a very small engine. much smaller than a dohc v6 (in terms of width). you could get gt30's in there. what, do i have to give you the measurements for that to? i also added 3k to my list for a solid rear setup.

the fastest 4 cylinder car i know of is a Mitsubishi eclipse that runs a 6.97 @ 198. That may have changed recently but I'm not sure i would say plenty of them exist. Like i said before, the fastest 5.7 ls1 is 6.86 BUT there are faster gen III small blocks with bored over iron block engines.

and another thing, i never said v8's are the only way to get in the 6's, i just said its the most cost effective way to get there. as I learned long ago, there is always someone faster than you, no matter how many cylinders they have.

dont worry im not planing on it. but like i said, if anyone's willing to pay, its possible.

 

holly crap. i didnt even realize we got past page 9. could this be a record?

 

Nah, a member named kemp travis owns those records. At least this is intellegent battling

 

^ haha, so true. it was a little entertaining atleast.

 

It also depends on how you have you settings set. For me it's only page 5

 

^ page 4 here, plus this isnt even at 100posts yet. kemp goes well over 150post/thread it seemed like.

So Mike, any interest in going with a HTA turbo, either 35r or 37r? Seen a few evo dynos switching to an .82 + HTA and having faster spool (vs a standard .63) along with an addition 30whp over a normal 35r .82.

Im just glad Mike is sticking with the "run what ya brung" attitude. With revs comes power on these small disp motors and match that to 2step + antilag and you the potential to reach just about any et. Just think its funny when people talk running 6-8sec et's when these cars run alky with carbon fiber shells and tube chassis vs something like Mike's and others in this scene trying to break into low 10's and 9's on race gas and stock bodies. Its alot harder to get a 2800lb+ car to run 10's than it is to get a 1800lb car to run it and not to mention give it traction bars and alky. People REALLY need to talk apples vs apples instead of a whole freakin fruit basket! :rollseyes:

 

^^^ Werd. That's what I was trying to get to Jonus079 since to me it sounded like he was saying we're all stupid for spending $$$ on a 1.8 when we can stick a big ol' 350 in a sport compact euro. Everyone has their own ways cutting down their et's, some more respectable than others but always interesting nevertheless.

 

Interesting thread, hell, you learn a new thing every day.

I have a V6 12V, and it is dog slow, in answer to the original question.
No way, even with a supercharger, running the smallest pulley, largest injectors is it going to match a modified 1,8T.

It's also a damn sight heavier than the 1,8T block.

I see no point in trying to extract more power from the V6 - if it's not an S4 motor, I'd forget it. If I wanted more, I'd rip out the 12V, use it as a doorstop, and fit a 1,8T.

But, I'm going the 4,2L V8 route - whether it'll match a 1,8T, even in turbocharged form, remains to be seen.

The 1,8T is a very respectable motor, and very, very well proven - Mike's car's a prime example, and I know a handful of others that are making big power.

LS1 in your B5? A possibility, but why?
With all the R&D, parts, bugs to iron out etc, it'll probably cost almost as much as 2 big-power I4's.

I doubt you'll ever actually carry out the LS1 conversion anyway, but dreams don't hurt anyone.

Just some dreams are unrealistic.

 

LS1 fits in here!!!!!



I still think an LS1 A4 would be easier than the weekend oil change mechanics think. Retaining quattro might be a challenge, but a good two speed power glide and a solid rear axle or a modified american v8 dif assembly for independent rears suspension is all you need. The rest is just fabrication. I would not plan on using a car of this nature other than a novelty drag machine. If you put more time into it, you could retain the interior and create an unsuspecting A4 road warrior. People thought Shelby was slightly off his rocker when he wanted to put a 427 big block ford engine into a flimsy little British car!!!!
