ok i think we have gone far enough with this.

Yea enough is enough. Just throw all the chiks to me while you guys drag race. I promise i'll try and watch some of it

So I guess they went for two turbos instead of one....

HOLY CRAP!!! this is the first time i took intrest in this thread.

wow... that's....

Guess so...Got boost on the brain?

Frickin cool!! If I were to turbo the car, I would go the same route with the 2 remote turbos behind the headlights like that with the twin intercoolers. Thats a lot of fabing though, looks to be done very well.

ok....


who's gonna be the one to do this to an svx.....


thats the true question.

but im guessing with the svx it is a matter of space in the engine bay, as i dont think that those huge intercoolers would fit too well in the svx front...

but it could be done... who is up for it (and has the funds to boot?)?

anyone? anyone?
i know that if the svx was fitted with this beastly heart those nabiscans would crap themselves.


btw i am absolutely mesmerized
this is amazing. plain and simple

Sure they'll fit...you just have to lose the A/C.

I am VERY happy to see a project like this. My only questions are:

#1 Did they replace the pistons with some forged ones at a lower compression?
#2 If not, how much boost to they think they are going to run?
#3 If running stock 10:1 pistons, what octane fuel do they plan on running to prevent detonation?
#4 Also if running stock pistons, did they get custom copper head gaskets and o-ring convert the heads?

Just a mild pysics fact. The SVX engine produces its HP via high compression. Gun powder just burns fast at normal atmosphere, but produces a bang when compressesd like a fire cracker). Thusly the combustion chamber pressures are already midly high. A forced induction motor produces its power similary by getting a higher amount of volume in the chamber before the compression stroke, thusly also increasing maximum combustion chamber pressure at time of ignition. If they are doing BOTH, without proper mods, what is gonig to prevent the head gaskets from pushing out, head bolts from stretching, and such?

Just my curiosities.

That car just gets uglier and uglier.

Huge thumbs down to your opinion

Do you ever say anything positive???

[GreenMarine]

Hmmmm, I think that car is really gonna turn out as one of the "Awesomest" Swaps that I have seen on NASIOC yet .... By the looks of the fabrication, these guys have thought of almost everything... Lets hope that we see this thing making around 450-600hp
