I just wanted to share that Cosworth has entered the Castrol Syntec Top Shop contest with the VQ. They plan to build the Engine with off the shelf Cosworth parts to achieve the 400Bhp and the best part is they are GIVING the motor away . To enter to win this motor the site is www.SyntecTopShop.com.:)

Edit: site not up yet..it sent me to www.castolsyntec.com...Sorry.

 

They cant build a plenum that doesnt leak let alone do that, blah

 

Yeah I just got my new Sport CC mag and they are being challenged by Castrol and Cosworth is going to try and do it.

 

i thought cosworth built-subies??

 

They play with the 4G63, the EJ20&25, Ford Duratec and the VQ35.

 

Guess the Indy Car, CART, F1, WRC engine's are garbage too since two plenums have leaked.

 

I want to enter to win the engine.

 

I am too.

 

Bump.

 

wowser...350 rwhp Naturally aspirated....thatd be a pretty sick setup. stayin with 3.5 liters?

 

this ought to be good...

 

After reading the article, Cosworth has plans to have at least a 11:1 compression engine on 100 octane fuel. SCC will be giving updates through their magazine.

 

Do not quote me but I dunno if it is whp or crank. Anyways you can enter a drawing to win the engine!

 

are they using the vq35de or hr

 

The article just states a "VQ" thats all. Either way it is going to be a challenge.

The article does show a picture of the VQ35de but that probably has nothing to do with it...maybe Cosworth will do both....they got deep pockets.

 

Thanks Mods for moving it to the proper forum...it makes more sense here.

 

A high compression(12:1) 4.3 liter stroker should do it.

 

4.3 liter? lol. there are VQ race engines with ITB's that make that much power with 3.5 liters...there are some pretty wild N/A VQ35DE's out there...just hard to find information on em since theyre all in race cars.

 

Wow..thats pretty high! That engine sound would be wicked at WOT,

 

I think you would find them all in Japan...Super Taikyu series Z have some pretty crazy N/A engines. But if Cosworth pulls this off there will be more Z here with them.
