i had a street car 1300kg with 400hp SB 327 4 speed ,it pulled 145kph in second gear 190kph in 3 gear .270kph in top ...looks to lifts the nose up well, that little sucker ,nice!
why would you need to turbo it anyway ,looks as though its got plenty of grunt. just one 1300cc busa engine turbocharged can achieve well over 450hp
turbocharging and reliability ? it all comes down to development and testing and plenty of money, the nissan skylines did well at the bathurst 1000 in Australia. punching out 700hp lap after lap ,
In 1989, while serving in the USAF in England, I owned two Mini cars. After making the measurements etc. I decided I could get much more HP from a motorcycle engine. I decided on the VMax 1.2 liter 145 HP liquid-cooled V4. It should do nicely I thought. I had the help of my friends from various shops on base & I was a crew chief in the AR shop & a student studying aerodynamics & acft systems.Before we ever got started to actual build phase, the Gulf War happened. SHIT! I love your project.
i bet the guys a " H1 V8" could build that engine, they take 2 hayabusa engine and make at 2.8-3.0l V8, 400 HP, and i have seen that engine with twin turbo produce 1000 HP. I want to take ferrari 308 and make a ferrari 288 GTO Clone with 1000 HP.
@oneshotkill324 possible but pointless. It's adding weight which hurts cornering ability, also hurts throttle response which again can hurt cornering. And finally it'll kill reliability. Ask any real racer why their car isnt twin turbo. It's because 20 minutes of hard track racing will melt the TT while before that it steadily loses power do to heat. Big turbos are great for short little drag races or showing off on the highway, but IMO they will totally kill a good handling car such as the "7"
@JD0x0 Two small turbo's would be very efficient for a track car. If you properly size and cool the turbo's then there shouldn't be significant power losses from heat soak. Ferrari, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, etc. have all been using turbo setups in their race cars since F1 in the 70's. A twin turbo setup would make this an absolute torque monster out of corners, and would still have the high rev top end capability of a small displacement V8.
@oneshotkill324 yes, small turbos with low boost can be okay especially if properly built and settup. But IMO nothing beats the response and reliability of a properly tuned n/a engine. not adding the extra weight is always good too
@gbowne1 The old garretts are awesome. Ive been hearing some stuff about the new "garretts" they apparently are cheap chinese turbos made by another company that bought out garrett. The turbo's are still stamped with the name, and the new company is making that the biggest selling point. Apparently they are cutting alot of corners and a good amount of their turbos are failing.
@JD0x0 Yeah, the old garretts are better. Still a number of them on eBay. If I can come up with the right installation design, one will end up on my engine. I have not heard good things about the new Garrett's.

Need more input before I can assess the requirement for applying such power to my Seven.

Seriously, I want to hear some real driving and testing of this engine with decent audio performance.

I know the 3.0L motor makes around 400 horsepower. Would it be possible to twin turbo it and actually have it fit in the Caterham?

Yes, it is a flat plane crank. Also 75 degree V8 so it is "odd-fire" which a discerning ear can hear in the exhaust note.

Not trying to be rude, but the engine he has in there is an in house developed V8 using hayabusa cylinder heads. the H1 V8 is a Hartley creation.
