Came up with an idea just which i think could actually be fun.

Most spec me threads are on here are normal daily drivers, or the slow first car type.:p

This is one is to show your imagination and engineering thoughts:D

Your job is to build a car that will do 700bhp for a total of £10,000

You can use any car, any engine, any transmission, fuel, infact pretty much anything.

The only rules are that it must not exceed £10,000 and the engine must be able to cover 400metres at least at full throttle.

Ill summerise my idea in a moment but lets see what everyone else comes up with.


This could be a lot of fun, there will be a prize for the best idea, you can also share ideas or put up most of the idea and people can chip in to help:D
 
Early MKIV Supra 6 speed, probably pick up a shabby example for around 5k.

2JZ-GTE engine is solid, good for silly power (would need to work on internals to have it last any massive length of time though)
6 Speed GETRAG box good for silly power too.

£5k left for big single turbo kit and some new cams, obviously you would have to fit it yourself.

Job done.
 
R32 GTS-T, GTR if you can get it in budget, with a massive ridiculously laggy single turbo setup? First thing that springs to mind. Beyond that I'd agree with the above 2JZ Supras.
 
Old C4 Corvette : £3200
HP Performance complete single turbo kit : £3800
Forged 383 stroker kit : £550
Larger-bore performance exhaust system : £350
Performance fuel system : £250
Performance ignition system : £250
Uprated radiator : £230
Uprated oil cooler : £60
High performance trans rebuild kit : £89
TCI Torque convertor : £180
67mm turbo upgrade kit : £900

Total cost : £9859.

Hell, you could even give it a good service as a bonus :D

Resulting power at this point : Circa. 1000-1300BHP & 800-1200ft.lb without nitrous.

Obviously that's a bit over what you were looking for but hey, why have 700 when you can have over 1000!

You could reign it in a bit though, save the £900 on the 67mm and retain the stock 60mm turbos and that would run 800BHP and 700ft.lb - which would be more than enough and a bit more controllable, less stress on the car as a whole too.

You could build a real budget 700BHP C4 for a lot less but that's just a quick example with off the shelf parts - for example you could buy just the car, the forged 383 kit, a few intake and exhaust bits, and a 200BHP shot of nitrous and you'd be up to and over 700BHP without too much fuss, for a few thousand quid :) - so you could spend money on the rear end, suspension, tires and brakes to make it a really streetable car :)

True to some extent - but green does not mean the start of your timed run, it merely means you can proceed down the 1/4. You only start being timed when you break the timing beams :)

The only thing that's timed from the green light is your reaction - so obviously, if you're just out testing and tuning (and not racing), you're not that interested in it :)
 
Really? You think they're ugly? Never had a bad word said about any of mine, had to beat people off with a stick for the most part :D

Strange lad :p

You have to remeber that these things were designed in the early 80s, for one thing........

Anyway, we're here for 700BHP talk, continue!

God man, don't dare, that's madness! I'd fear for your life if you were to put a bottle of NOS fuel additive or Redex booster in the tank too - or even more terrifyingly, both at the same time!
 
get an orange, burnt out, two-jay-zee (no ****!!) which is in fact a 3.0 non turbo supra and then put 15 grand of over night parts from japan under the hood

easy
