Euro QV dyno at flywheel

Thank you. info worth sharing

 

I love this stuff.....my question would be what the $$$ are to get it to that 300 figure?

And what does that yield at the rear wheels? I know you assume 15-20% drivetrain loss, but just curious.

At some point I would love to raise the power levels on my 308, not sure how feasible it is in the next year or two, but was leaning toward a sc or turbo just because of cost issues or $$ per hp increase.

My euro qv has more than double the horsepower and torque. Turbo is the way to go if your going to spend that amount of cash and want substantial power.

 

260HP at the wheels using 15% loss.

 

Agree, turbo or blower makes more sense financially PLUS you obtain more power.

 

Paul, nice configuration. Looks like a great set up you have, very nicely done.

How's the turbo lag?
Are you running an intercooler?
Ever timed the car through 0-60 or 1/4 mile?

Please let me know if you ever decide to sell your car!

 

+1

not to mention the potential of the current DFI systems that you'd use to manage the turbo engine. set up properly, doubling the hp is only the beginning. you'd be able to produce as much power as the bottom of that engine can possibly hold, and more. the current DFI systems are way more advanced than anything Ferrari(or any manufacturer) could have come up with 25 years ago.

my vehicle also doubles rear wheel horsepower( i recently de-tuned it out of fear of my oem clutch not holding up). but the amazing thing is the silkysmooth idle and drivability of the DFI. i would compare it's street manners to a 2010 toyota before i would compare it to a stock 328, or any Ferrari for that matter.

 

Thanks for the kind words. Dont know how fast 0-60 and the 1/4? But I know she eats 360s 355s with ease. When I get official times will let you know.

Lag is minimal, full boost by 3k than pulls linear to redline. Custom Norwood air/water intercooler,JE pistons, Norwood copper headgaskets, ARP rod bolts. Billet flywheel, Norwood Kevlar clutch. Haltech ECU, 42lb injectors. Adjustable boost controller.

Big Brembos upfront.Just finished total suspension rebuild with all new outer and inner bushings, new tie rods, ball joints, steering rack bushings, custom tube rear a-arms, QA-1, verell's paperweights, 400lb Eibachs front, 350 lb rear, saner bars, 360 wheels with 30mm Hillengineering spacers and lugs, rebuilt rear calipers with Gyrodisc rotors.

New ceramic ballbearing turbo in 2010 should make her more beastly.

Zach Mayne liked the car and its manners when he did an article on it in Forza April 2006. He torqued steered the car on boost! If you want the article i can post it for you?

Cheers

Get boost!

Call me strange. I love the timeless lines of the 308 but I also love the feel of 400 ponies!

Cheers

 

Nothing wrong with that! I did a PPI last week on a 288GTO and have spent at least an hour behind the wheel. Nothing like twin turbos in a light weight package, made me think my boxer was a turd but I got over that and love my boxer again.

 

Amen brother! A GTO with modern ceramic ball bearing turbos would be even more beastly. 288 gto is my all time favorite. Lucky you! I kick myself for not buying one and investing in CA real estate. Smart move!

Bob Norwood is building one based on a 308 strectched the correct length, but with a 360 modena twin turbo in it. 750hp to the wheels i am told!

That should be a blast.

Cheers

 

@Turboqv - I would love to see the article if you can post it. I have to admit I am intrigued!!!


Thanks,

PDG

 

F-chat says too big to upload. 1.89 mb. shoot me ur email via PM and i will send it to u.

Cheers

 

Thanks brother,

Thats the beauty of it, she looks stock until u push down on the go fast pedal. I would never mess with the beauty of the original lines of the car. It is a work of art!

Get boost! u will luv it!

Cheers

 

Someone once told me a bower engine will fit in a 308 engine bay giving you the best of both worlds

 

I'm the same way... and yet I love the 288 GTO, odd dichotomy. (a good friend has one so I get to spend time with it on a regular basis to satisfy my lust).

Don't get me wrong, I completely respect the effort and engineering that Paul has put into his turbo - I marvel at it... its just not for me.

No need to make 308 to go faster, they already look fast just standing still.

 

So Mike,

Does this mean that your 12 will get supercharged and nitrous injected???

?

No. My car will be naturally aspirated, I’ve seen the light 

What that post means is I don’t proof read well and end up posting silly things. “Boxer” was the word that I meant as Newman has a soft spot for those engines wisely and tried to talk me into using one (or a TR) instead of the silly thing I decided to build.
