It would have 700whp and a fully built engine and bulletproof dogbox transmission with straight cut gears though

I might be assed to fix the bodywork.

Oh yes.

Engine completely worked over by race shop to make a healthy amount of HP with a fast spooling turbo. Hopefully around 300hp. Underbody strengthened, cage and a gated dogbox transmission if they even exist for this car.

Would put sound insulation in there, stereo, and make it worthy of grand touring.

Exterior like this, but a wider bullbar that protects the front lights, the same red color, cap, LED-bar nad so on that I have now

Engine/drivetrain: 3.0l 1KD-FTV engine, dual transfer case, 12% reduction on the diffs
Replace the 80a alternator for a 120a one

Tires: 35x12.5x15 summer, 315/70/17 winter, on the same wheels as this one, but in perhaps a stronger matte silver color

Interior: same stereo, but with added bluetooth capability.

General maintenance/fixing;
Complete repaint, underside and frame painted many times over and then proofed with Fluid Film. Everything overhauled/refurbished
New windshield - gotta love that clear, unscratched glass

Other kit:
>2-inch receivers on front and rear, with a strong Warn-winch
>ARB air lockers on both front and rear

With the underbody/fluid film do you have to worry about salt at all?

>straight 4cyl, 4 stroke, petrol engine located front transverse
>Capacity 1597 cc
>Bore x Stroke (mm) 75.0 x 82.5
>Compression ratio 12.0:1
>Output power - torgue 210 - 215 HP / 9000 r>pm 20.0 kgm (196 Nm) / 6600 rpm

Technically I don't really have to worry about salt at all, as its not really used where I live

But yes, thats essentially the point - getting it all completely cleaned and proofed to make it last as long as its simply possible. I still have to clean the underside regularly to prevent something actually getting through causing damage, and clean off & reapply the Fluid Film every third year or so

As its an offroader there is also a good chance I'll scrape some of it off, and as such it becomes import to check if anything is gone and put some more on

The frame & underside thing is probably something I'll do the coming spring. My frame & underside is in pretty decent condition, with the rust being very superficial in the most exposed areas. It should come off very quickly and cleanly

I don't think anyone's ever tuned my car before.

Honda's are reliable though.

Bore:stroke ratio isn't what determines redline, it's either valvetrain, or stroke itself. Bore doesn't change redline. Stroke isn't obscenely high in this example, 82.5mm is fine on a racecar since it's under 25m/s @9000RPM. There are worse options in terms of piston speed out there.

Sounds like a very shitty street car to me. Why put a Judd in there, when mercedes has plenty of factory screamer V8 options available?

My face exactly.

yeah I know what an Evo 2 is, but it would be a crying shame to disfigure a legend. Just get a base model or a 16v and go nuts

>Why put a Judd in there
Money is no object so I'm gonna get weird with it. And literally every car in here would make a terrible street car so I don't see the need to single me out lol.

>would fit in a W201 please

They sound nice but no way they are fitting in a 190E without pushing the firewall back and extensive work to the front subframe.

>sub-optimal, but not terrible.

Splitting hairs, just because I want a V8 with ITB's doesn't mean it's terrible, just """"""sub optimal""""" lol. A stiff & low suspension ruins the streetability of a car just as much as an engine that's gutless to 3500 rpm.

>would you swap a PU106C into an Evo2 replica

Nigger you're trying to convince me a Judd would ruin a build and then you turn around and say this lmao.

Turbo kit, worked suspension and brakes, etc etc.

I like the sedan body but Ferd won't offer a sedan Focus St.

ask subaru to redesign either the LHD BE sedan or the EJ208 Rev. D so that they work with each other.

then suspension, brakes, etc.

A Judd probably won't fit either, considering it's a relatively big, DOHC V8. Pic related might.

I'm not hating on you for the Judd, I'm just saying I'd personally try and keep it in the family. High revving, small displacement V8's are my fetish anyways, from the S65 to the DZ302 and everything in between (and above in terms of RPM). I'm not saying a Judd would ruin a W201 - that would be almost every hillclimber's fetish, screaming that thing through a good alpine pass.
I'm just wondering if a relatively lightweight, 1.5L, twinturbo >V6 would tickle your pickle. It's certainyl fit into a W201 without issues, it'd be plenty power, but I'm 100% convinced that a powerful Mercedes streetcar should have a V with at least 8 cylinders, if not 12.

On that note: why hasn't Mercedes ever made a V10 for a streetcar?

I'd also much rather have an S12 with an ITB's VQ37.

minus the ott bodykit, and i definitely wouldn't take it to a garage or dyno that's apparently run by children who write all over the walls

why wouldn't itb+turbo work?

Plus an OS giken limited slip, and a getrag manual gearbox

ayyy
do a facelift to the 08 and throw this bumper on it while you're at it

The purpose of ITB's is to shorten the intake path, and to lower the throttled volume. This should increase throttle response, after all. In a n/a engine, ITB's put the throttles closer to the engine, thus creating lower throttled volume. ITB's also mean that you've usually got a cone filter per runner, or maybe even a velocity stack. This also reduces the intake length: it's a lot shorter than a throttle body, plenum, and runners.

Now, if you have a regular turbo setup with a single throttle body, that is the shortest possible setup, plain and easy. Multiple throttle bodies would extend the runner length from the plenum. In the picture you posted, you could shave about 2-3 cm (about an inch) from the runners if it didn't have ITB's. Also, in turbo engines, the turbo is effectively the chokepoint. It doesn't take a lot of mental gymnastics to consider all of the volume behind the compressor as ''throttled volume''. The compressor is what dictates throttle response, after all. Now, the throttles position in this airstream is largely irrelevant. You could even theoretically put it between the intercooler and compressor. Hell,some oldschool setups put the throttle BEFORE the compressor (although that's a shitshow). ITB's won't change anything in throttled volume, ITB's don't make the air path shorter, therefore, ITB's don't add throttle response on turbo engines.

By the way, that plenum on your picture isn't there to hook up to a compressor (per se). It's probably engineered to reflect waves coming from the runner. When the intake valve closes, a wave of air bounces back up. It then reflects on the edge of the velocity stack (Helmholtz resonance, look it up) or reflects on the plenum wall, straight back into the runner if the system is properly designed. This makes sure that, at certain RPM, you can get more than atmospheric pressure in your intake charge. Call it resonance supercharging, if you will.

>200SX
>No Turbo
Faggit.

Anyways, you can't exactly combine carbs and EFI. They'll both be throwing fuel at it, confusing both systems. Not to mention the idiotic installation it would take: low and high rpessure fuel systems, and I can't even imagine the carb tuning on that motherfucker.

Stick with either two two-barrel carbs (total of 4 barrels, one per cylinder), or EFI ITB's. Both is practically impossible and utterly redundant.

aren't carbs itbs by default?

fucking god damnit

It'd still look like a fiesta.

You know what a fiesta looks like.

t-thanks user

ITB's is used to define a single throttle body in fuel injected cars, both mechanical and EFI.

Technically speaking, a Ferrari V12 with six double barrel Weber's (or four triple barrels) has a throttle per cylinder. However, it does not have a single throttle BODY, since a single carburetor body has two barrels and services two cylinders. A carburetor also performs an additional function: it adds fuel and throttles, where a throttle body only, well, throttles. It might do some airflow metering, but it does not add fuel.

Now, sure, practically speaking ITB's and a carburetor barrel per cylinder have about he same effect: good throttle response, short runner length, low throttled volume, amazing sound. But, not only is there a technical difference (fueling and throttle Vs. Just throttle), most carbureted vehicles don't have a barrel per cylinder. Motorcycles and high end Italians sportscars are the exception to the rule here. For example, most American economy cars had to do with a single two-barrel for four or six cylinders. V8's commonly packed a single four barrel. If you had three double barrels (e.g. Six Pack), you were the man. Now, the exception to this is the double four barrel on a V8, but even that does not replicate that single runner, single throttle idea that is so fundamental to the function of ITB's.

You won't be making anywhere over 9000RPM with an 82.5mm stroke. Piston speed quickly exceeds 25m/s at that point, 11K is practically impossible unless you like pistons exiting through your block or oilpan.

>Bore doesn't change redline

Bore can indirectly change red line as you fit larger valves to the larger bore. Bigger valves are heavier, causing them to float more quickly. You can of course use higher pressure springs, but then you run run the risk of valve bounce and excessive valve train wear.
Bore has a much smaller effect on maximum engine speed than stroke and is fixed much easier (cheaper) but is a consideration

I already mentioned valvetrain though, and you can solve big valves' inertia with stuff like desmodromic valvetrains or pneumatic valvesprings. If we're going that far down the rabbit hole, it's much more important to consider the fact that a bigger piston with an identical load on it will be heavier, and thus have more reciprocating inertia. Given the extreme load that's going to put on the connecting rod, it's much more important than just the valvetrain.

Everything determines redline, but stroke is easily the single most important thing. By comparison, very little else matters, especially bore:stroke ratio.

what else is there to do?

Im glad that there's still other Probe fans still out there. I've got two 94 Wild Orchid Probe GT's. I swapped a ZE into one of them years ago. Recently picked up the other one, originally for parts. But the latest one is in better shape than my original one, so I can't bring myself to pull parts off it. Heh.

In any case... Good luck with your project. Hope someday you can have 700 HP. ;)

that's literally the S1600 race engine specs tho, I didn't know Fiat engines were stronger than physics.
Impressive!

All the specs I can find claim 215hp at either 8250 or 9000RPM. I suspect its 215hp @ 8250, with redline at 9000RPM. 11K RPM seems foolish and I can't find any source that claims such a high RPM.

At 9000RPM, 82.5mm stroke means it's doing 24.75m/s. Practical limits for road cars is about 22-23m/s, with well-engineering exceptions going up to 25m/s, so 24.75 for a rally car isn't beyond reasonable doubt.

For reference's sake, 82.5mm @ 11K RPM means a piston speed of around 30m/s. The only thing in that realm is Top Fuel: 4.250'' (107mm iirc) going 8250RPM at redline. That high is completely impractical for a car that needs to go further than a single mile.

700 is way overkill for this, I would be perfectly happy with 300 reliable bulletproof whp in a car that aerodynamic that I could punt around the track all day. That one is 2850lb with me sitting in it

K20 turbo swap (its a 318is so already has a shit 4 banger) new suspension to handle the Power and upgraded brakes

I'd have my Camry turbo'd so that it can make 400+ Hektiks to the FRONT WHEELS. I've seen videos where they send 700+ to 900+, though I have a feeling neither the 3VZFE nor 1MZFE could produce that much power, no matter how heavily built it is. I just want a fast wheel drive GODMACHINE that can also haul people while not hauling any attention.
