sleepercorty Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 What work have you done to the cortina's engine man, just curious. 9 seconds, phark yeah! engine is pretty standard, has au steel headgasket, xr6 valve springs and new rings and bearings. should make 500rwhp on around 20psi, it has the same turbo as the cressida with a bigger exhaust housing.

CA-ROLLA Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 500rwhp on a stock 4l, using a bbm? i hope u don't plan on doing anymore then one 9sec pass, coz it will have to be on 4billion psi, i think 500hp could be done, but 9's on pulp and a street tyre?

CA-ROLLA Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 in all the years i have been following and owning sohc 4litre falcons, i have seen 2 make over 500rwhp, both full built motors, and both using a lot more then 20psi, i would love to see this 630hp with the standard el 4l, as for bigger rods in the 4 litre being bigger they are but u will bend one before u bend the ba conrods, and the typhoon does not even count, they stronger everything inside those motors. I'm not saying to u it can't be done, and i think 500 is well possible when u have a good tuner and all the other good bolt on bits, but the 9sec pass u will be pushing in street trim, if u look at for instance the ke20 with the 2j, that thing weighs in the region of 2600pounds or 1180 odd kg, and it takes a little over 1000hp to push it to a 8.0 a 170 mph, now by the time you have a full andra tech 6 point cage and all the other bits u need, you are gonna be real close to wieghing the same if not more already being a bigger car, and making half the horse power how do propose to push this thing to a 9 second pass, even though the radials get sticky they will still wheelspin on big rpm launches, i bid u good luck sir, and when and if it happens i will gladly say i was wrong, but until then this thing may run a 10.90 on a radial in street trim with 500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepercorty Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) i think now i have enough gearboxes haha, hopefully getting some e85 this weekend and time for tune. would really like to run close to 10.5 in street trim, so I'm thinking i will need around 490rwhp which is 50hp more than i had to run 11.0 Edited October 20, 2010 by sleepercorty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXY-642 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 like the sound of the power the falcon sohc can make on a stock motor :) got a collection nice of gearbox's there lol. hopefully they last a while so you don't get sick of replacing them to quick.

ratta tat tat Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I just stumbled across this topic and all I can say is "Wow". You've got some serious talent :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I will shake your hand if you can get a bog stock el 4L bottom end too make 500hp, and keep it running longer then say 10 passes before it shits a headgasket or bends a rod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXY-642 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 A headgasket is not part of the bottom end. And a blown headgasket does not mean a f@$ked motor either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR KE30 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) i recon you will get a 9 out of that cortina no worries i think gearbox and diff set up play a bigger part be good if you can get it of the line hard and clean that's the battle, my ke30 come shy of making 400hp at treads on low boost with auto i ran 10.3 and had to back off twice so i didn't end up in the wall, but cortina may need the few more pony's to carry the extra weight i suppose, going to be interesting to see how it all goes that's for sure Edited October 20, 2010 by MR KE30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a blown headgasket does not mean a f@$ked motor either. headgasket will be fine its all in the tune i recon you will get a 9 out of that cortina no worries i think gearbox and diff set up play a bigger part be good if you can get it of the line hard and clean that's the battle, my ke30 come shy of making 400hp at treads on low boost with auto i ran 10.3 and had to back off twice so i didn't end up in the wall, but cortina may need the few more pony's to carry the extra weight i suppose, going to be interesting to see how it all goes that's for sure yeh I'm not really worried as long as it beats the wifes car, i have another project on the go that will make both of these look soft but seeing as there are to many people on here that know everything wont bother sharing it. you probably know what it is but, its green and has two doors and is getting boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
