Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok, strictly speaking it isn't even in a Hilux but the guys at ARE in Qld have transplanted a racing one into an early 90s Nissan Sylvia with their own turbo system and a "dry ice" intercooler setup. How does intlet temps of around minus 50 degrees C sound? At 30 pounds boost it made 744 bhp. Checkout the ice cold mist coming of the intercooler.

Hmmmmm, the 1st Prado's came out with these, what an awesome sleeper they would make

NICE BUT
do you think it could do with a bigger turbo and more chrome

somehow me thinks finding dry ice during the midle of an outback challenge or ttc may be a little difficult . Looks like a nice setup and the dry ice looks pretty bling.

im sure it wouldnt be that hard, just bring a few big eskys full for your supply, will last a few days

we take foam esky's full of dry ice to car events for my mates hotrod
and we always have leftovers after the coupla days away....that includes keepin the drinks cool also

certainly makes a difference tho

special little ice box mounts under aircleaner

gotta b carefull tho as sometimes the fuel ice's up if left sitting too long

but works a treat for burnout comps etc out west of NSW in the summer heat

This badgirl was at a dyno comp at Beeners Tavern it is an absolute weapon!!!!

There's an SR20 in melbourne at the moment, preliminary tuning it pumped out 800 rwhp, without nos and apparantly still a bit of power to go.

It's being built as a dyno queen for autosalon but hey those are big numbers from not only a 4 cylinder, but any engine really.

big horsepower is all good as long as ya use it and dont trailor sailor it !!!

we used to have 2 HQ's with 383 strokers in them

1. 654 hp ( rear wheels ) daily driver

2. 575 hp ( rear wheels ) daily driver

very similar engines in both cars but the higher hp engine had BRODIX - 10 heads on it .

ooh what fun they were to drive !!!! ( except when it was raining )

i wonder if it would work upside down

i'll call you tonight about this

and to this i wasonly kidding

no 5hit, so was I

depends on the size of the pellets/rods, you can hold them in with mesh

i wonder how long the engine will last

i have seen 540 hp out of 6 cyl holden motor . turbo intercooled efi
daily driver used to run flat 10's but andra stopped him from racing

Piss easy, I used to deliver trailer loads from ICI Botany to Newcastle. They stored it outside, in Pallecons as Block Ice about 2ftx1ftx6-12in...

You get some good looks as you drive up the road with the mist comin out under the tarps

Great, another Nisyota. Its like cousins f*cking, its just not right.

Still cool to get 744hp out of it though. I wonder how much transmission damage you could do if you did transplant it back into a hilux.

Or what about a hiace? That would be a burnout machine.

Guess about as long as a top fuel motor, once up the quater and then strip it down
