2ltr Engine + Large Turbo = 1130HP

[Dangerous]

1130HP MITSUBISHI EVO
Tuner pushes 2.0-litre to the limit



The front styling was uniqueIf you’ve ever wondered how much power a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine can produce before it explodes into a zillion pieces and wipes your testing facility off the face of the planet?

Well, according to this obligatory YouTube clip it is 1130hp and the car's creator has now claimed a world record.

Tuner AMS Performance has tweaked a Mitsubishi Lance Evo VIII to within an inch of its life, and now it can cover a quarter mile in 8.56 seconds, reaching a top speed of 171mph.

The car does look a little twitchy coming down the drag strip, but then that’s what happens when you put Veyron power in a saloon I guess…

Unreal, and cool too

 

[mjt]

[MR_Punk]

The power in that thing is simply just trying to escape. Crazy

It'll be a very thin glass or carbon skin with no internal support.

Do you have a direct youtube link, as can't view it direct on the pistonheads site from work ?

EDIT: N/m found some clips.

Does that not affect the 'structural integrity'? Or the stability of the car?

I'm confused as to why getting 1130hp from a 2 ltr engine is such a big deal.
After all, F1 cars were pushing 1500hp in qualifying trim back in the 80s. Yes it would be true to say that they only lasted a few laps before dieing, but that's true of this too.

Before anyone argues that F1 were using mega-technology, also not quite true as the Brabham BMW 1.5 turbo was based upon the block from a 316.

well, they also revved to 11k. im guessing its far easier to extract power the faster an engine can turn, looking to bikes as an example. thats assuming they can rev that high in the first place, which the original 2litre blocks the 1.5 engines used certainly couldnt still. 1500hp from a 1.5litre engine is still extraordinary.

My word.
