Hi there y'all

Just curious , just finished putting a smick 3.5ltr Rover V8 (dynoed @ 550 rwhp) in my GU. Want to run thermo's cos i plan to comp FCUK out of it & now with all the extra Ponies under the bonnet I need an Awsome cooling system to back it up. I realised the standard engine fan set up was drawing too many ponies from my right foot when a new Clubsport R8 blew me off at the lights yesterday.

Anyhoo, my question is what is the difference between the AU & BA fans?


Anyone who don't know, a GU is a big 4x4 and an R8 clubsport is wat my mrs has which has an LS1 in it!!wat is he on?

I think a conversion factor of 3 to 4 "ponies" to the BHP might be what he is on! The chavs drive V8s over there do they.?.? scary

LOL - gave me a giggle first thing Sunday morning
Muppet!!!!

That's comical

What the hell is a Smick rover engine?

.... from the Aussie Slang Dictionary

schmick

adjective 1. very classy; done up amazingly well: a really schmick car.
verb 2. to do up beautifully.

Also, smick. [see German schmuck neat, spruce, smart]

Cheers Kev
I thought Smick might have been some underground builder of monster Rover engines!!
If he had this dynoed as a 4x4, do you think he may have been told its about 125bhp, and then multiplied it by the 4 driven wheels, he he !!

How do they give you a Dyno readout for a 4x4 anyway? Do you get a figure for both sets of wheels? I must ask my mate with the rolling road.

....it's easy! 2 wheels dynoed @ 275 rwhp (not impossible) therefore 4 wheels must give 550 rwhp!!!!

Must get myself a transfer box

I'm getting me one of them too Kev!!

Is that true Kev? Cos the pissed guy down the pub last night who used to work for McClaren reckons if you use 2 parts EP90 and 1 part whale peepee in the transfer boxes it can easily align the planets to give FOUR times the original crank hp reading.

T'is true i tell thee!

Demo, post the below in that dudes thread.

...I think that says it all......
