blaze73 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Saw this posted over at NICO and wet my pants. Is this a VH45 decendant of some kind? http://www.nizpromarine.com.au/the_engine.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerminator96 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 1200cc injectors delivering 2.27 gallons of gas per minute to be turned into 1500 hp. There are just so many things I like about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardBlack Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Oil change specified in barrels instead of quarts... So... it's a quad sequential turbo system with two different sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerminator96 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Oil change specified in barrels instead of quarts... So... it's a quad sequential turbo system with two different sizes? Yes, it's by no means a new idea. The first turbo is smaller and builds boost very quickly, then it's "downpipe" feeds directly into the larger turbo along with the rest of the exhaust. The idea is to keep intake air pressure as high as possible with no turbo lag, with a small sacrifice of the larger compressor's efficiency. Edit: I'm sure you also noticed the 13-14 quart oil sump.

thehelix112 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm pretty sure its based on a VK56. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZ Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Nose Bleed..... what could be the experience when installed onto our Z? Hope you keep a napkin at the seat to absorb wetness. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure its based on a VK56. Dave Yup, the front timing cover gives it away. Definitely a VK series and likely the 56 to get it to a 6 liter. Definitely an awesome engine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinNAMmon Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 look at the idle speed, wonder if anyone can DD that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat0_240_chevZ Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 the 1500hp figure is the babied, version, checkout the post simon has made from nizpro on nico, too much balls for their dyno, but estimates 2000+ hp. nat0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinNAMmon Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 actually never mind, 850rpm is pretty much possible to be Daily Driven, but it would be tricky... mind burning any clutches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
