1000 ft-lb Clutch and Tranny
#11
The engine is a DSS 5.0L supermod.
All aluminum, race-prepped to take up to 1500horsepower.
Assembled with FR500 heads.
Compression ratio is 10.1:1, power is from 5-600 N/A.
Everything cost 10,500...but I got the Cobra and the engine together for 9, so I'm working with it to get 1000 horsepower.

I'll look into the McLeod, thanks for the tip.
How about a stout tranny?
The setup will be a quad turbo remote mount...
Which will involve extensive body modification, two custom intercooler designs, and basically consist of 30-50PSI air cooled to 34 degrees, mixed with 91octane gas cooled to 30 degrees.
I dropped in the engine, now I need the rest of the drivetrain. Next question will be driveshaft, then a replacement for the IRS.

I give the motor 10 minutes on the dyno
wear a flack jacket LOL

Its a shame, I already returned my flak and kevlar, since I'm getting out of the Marines shortly...
Anyway, this is legitimately my goal, and I know it'll be nearly impossible. That's why I want to do it, for the challenge.
Sacrifices will need to be made...namely, relocating the gas tank to the trunk, as well as taking out the bench seat from the back (going to go with a single bucket seat in the back...and raise the floor on the sides for the first two turbos).
I've been doing some heavy studies on thermodynamics to figure out how I'll avoid detonation...and I believe if your air/fuel charge is cool enough, the fuel will extract enough heat through sublimation to prevent detonation.
I would've loved to have a nice solid 7.5:1 big block to start with, but I got the car and motor together...at a hell of a price.
The theory behind the setup is sequential/twin turbocharging.
Look at the sequential turbo setups on an RX-7, where one turbocharger is spooled for low-end, then wastegated to another for high-end...multiply that setup by two banks of cylinders, and that's what I want to do, maintaining the X-Pipe to keep the flow even. And from 5-8000 RPM, I think I'll have sufficient exhaust flow to keep all four turbines spinning.

Except... 1) Even mazda couldn't get that sequential BS totally right
2) Fitting a quad rear mount is going to be simply impossible
You can make that much power, but remote mounts will not get you there. Also your going to have to have a great tune, run c-16 and probably meth and even then it won't last long.

yeah the auto will be faster for sure but there are quite a few cars out there with close to or over 1000 ft lbs with manual trans. heck i am getting close.

i see what your going for, but at 34 degree's i dont think it's gonna go it, maybe -34 degree's.
hell maybe even -100 degrees.
with all the places on earth colder than 34 degree's, dont you think SOMEONE would have put the car on the dyno with air and fuel at 20 degree's (ambient)... Im just sayin.....

Water transfers heat 17 times more efficiently than air, and therefore air to water intercooling with cooled water is the best way to achieve a cold air charge.
And also, I don't think it will take 30-50 PSI to achieve 1000 horsepower, but those were the numbers generated using Corky Bell's formula, given a Volumetric Efficiency of 85%.
I'll have two turbos working low-end, and two working high end, rather than having only one effective range of power.

I think you'll end up kicking yourself in the butt for this, the amount of work, stress and problems your going to encounter probably aren't worth being original. That being said your crazy and seem set on this idea, so best of luck and post lots of pics.

I'm going to go ahead and call BULLSHI.T!!! No person in their right mind would do this...
High compression combined with 30+ psi boost is simply TOO MUCH cylinder pressure, to run 91 octane. ESPECIALLY ON A TURBO CAR...
You are HIGH!!!
Also, if you want to get ALL scientific with me, then your figure of water being able to cool 17x more efficiently than air, is not an accurate measurement, because we are dealing with high air flow. Yes, thermal transfer, in STILL water is 17 times better than thermal transfer in MOTIONLESS air, but that does not apply to a object being subject to water FLOW or air FLOW...
Quad Remote Mounts?! LMAO!!
This has got to be a ****ing joke!
