700bhp Dolly Sprint

[touchingcloth]

Ecky thump you are right what a nutjob. I'm just off to source some man on man porn now that I know where I stand.

[225]

blimey, I did actually own one of those for a while.

He is selling the car now but not with that engine. He's putting a more tame 350bhp cossie engine in it.

Dollie's are 975 kilos dry. Darrens is probably lighter, I would imagine its around 800bhp per tonne.

It really is a very trick car.

How the hell do you get a Cossie to make those numbers when an Eddenberger / Rouse RS 500 only made about 550!?

Same lump (more power) to the Nuts TVR S that spank all bak in the late 80's / early 90's at Macau.

NUTS..

The key word their is 'was' the original RS500 was about 15 years ago wasn't it? Tuning tweakery has come-on a bit since then

Ya but the block was the weak link wasn't it - 500 block stonger - someone needs to get one of these in a modern TVR - i.e. 350 or tuscan with blown engine. Awesome.

Most racing regs - only allow so much boost.. FI was quiet unrestrained for a while 'til the bhp limits were at 1200 bhp for a 1.2 litre lump..

boost is more about containment (will rings, block strength) than about finesse (1200 bhp BWM running a stock block in F1)..

Gotta ask the question why he wants a Cerb 4.2 lump.. ?

[purpleheadedcerb]

Darren's not the one wanting a cerb engine. He's moving onto a new project and flogging the red dolly that you see.

Phil Reader is the guy doing the cerb transplant into a Sprint and he's halfway there by the sounds of it.

Nutter - neeed more TvR owners doing this.

[russian rocket]

just like a TVR engine, it'll blow in a few hudered miles

[ALG1K]

Hello there
The engine in question has done 5000 miles at this power level
Im going back with the boost turned up as i was only running
1.8 bar of boost so there is about another 40 hp in it
There is a cosworth engine currently on 20 .000 miles exactly the same specification as mine
Its come a long long was since the touring cars
There is also a 1000 hp cosworth engine out there but that is just a drag engine

[touchingcloth]

Hi there Darren and welcome to PH. Can I also offer you a - top stuff.

[roop]

Just staggering. I am not really into classics, the only ones I would like being a Dolly Sprint, SD1 Rover (Twin Plenum Vitesse, of course) or a Sierra RS 500. Got the Sierra and this Dolly is just fabulous. I want a Cossie Dolly so much it aches...!!! Awesome.

Hi there Touchingcloth
Going back to the rollers very soon
With a tad more boost
I now want over 700hp @ flywheel on tescos best green stuff
