new 800+ horsepower Ilmor engine?
Recently saw a post stating that Ilmor will be coming out with an 800+ engine by the Miami show 2012.
Anyone have any additional details about the engine and the rumor in general? |
I personally volunteer for testing... will even be so kind and drive to get them at no charge :D

Dont think they'll be out that early. If they do come out they'll most likely be in an Outerlimits.:D

Getting to 800 hp from 725 is a little over 10%. Given that the engine is 513 cubic inches, would it still be a normally-aspirated engine? Adding a blower for such a small gain doesn't seem worthwhile, but getting 1.56 hp/cu in is pretty strong. Maybe it's being done through more rpm?

IF these mods are "institutionalized" at the factory the cost would likely be much lower. When all is said and done it seems that this is not the right platform to start with 800HP N/A as a final goal. As a full rebuild when tired maybe, but a large cubic inch BBC would cost way less to achieve a good natured 800 na horsepower. Uncle Dave |

We'll see I guess. Those Ilmor guys seem pretty clever. |

Had the same thought. Maybe something with variable valve timing like the 650, or a forced induction 650 style deal.
We'll see I guess. Those Ilmor guys seem pretty clever. Now if Fiat wanted to spend boat loads (no pun intended) on new multi valve heads...for the Viper V10, well thats a differenct story. Especially if they contract Ilmore for all engineering design. |
