I just got my new Excellence. There is a whole article on Bob Howard's 600hp 951. I only just atarted to read it but I can't even imagine what it would be like to drive that car but I wouldn't mind finding out!!

scan it, pdf it and share... it will allow us to bide our curiosity until we can get to the store to pick one up!

With all of the computer crap that I'm trying to get, you would think that I would have a scanner by now. But alas I do not. I will try to do something to share, but you may have to wait for it to come to the store.

Also just noticed that this issue also has the 24/44/68 market update too!! Looks like most of the values are on the rise. Only 200% more and I might be able to get all of my $$ out of it.

Tell us some engine specs, please

I will be going to the book store tomorrow

ok lets see... built by Norwood Performence (Doom Car,)968 block sleeved to 2.6, 10:1 compresssion, 24 lb of boost (@&%$!!!), Motec M-4 Pro, 95lb injectors, First dyno put down 538 @7200 rpm at the wheels. I didn't give it all alway. There is a whole page of engine stuff I've never heard of.

So that's where one of the Doom engines went. Gomes sold one last year and supposedly Norwood had built 4 spares... I wonder where the others are now...

I checked out the latest software from Motec for the M4, pretty neat!

When the time comes for me for aftermarket efi, I am going to find it very hard not to go with a M800 sourced directly from Aus. Hopefully the US dollar won't get any weaker!

"ok lets see... built by Norwood Performence (Doom Car,)968 block sleeved to 2.6, 10:1 compresssion, 24 lb of boost "

so lets see, all this stuff about dropping the compression (according to the listers, this is the ONLY way to safley boost a motor) in my customer 968's/S2' while adding my turbo conversion is what?

Gee, I've stood by my beliefe that boost and compression can be mixed up a bit :-0

I guess I'll just keep building'um :-)

Stay tuned :-)

Hmmmm, I'm getting special <a href="http://www.andersonmotorworks.com" target="_blank">AMW 9.0:1 compression pistons</a> and chromoly sleeves in my next engine.... damn! I should've gone to 10.0:1 !!! grrrhhhh.... back to the drawing board....

Didn't he sleeve the block to reduce bore??

Don't know anything about Norwood so I don't know what he did with the stroke but in my ignorance I'm only assuming they sleeved the original 104mm bore to something smaller for added strength.

Am I correct that he's dropped it from a 3.0L to a 2.6L??

Here's the million dollar question: Would the walls on a 968 designated block be thicker than an original 2.5 block bored to 104? Or is the 968 block simply a bored 2.5? If the walls of the actual 968 blocks were manufactured to be thicker than just a bored 2.5 then sleeving down to something like a 101mm would make mucho grande walls!!

Maybe that's a good trick.

I wonder how many commuter miles I'd get with 600hp!!
