Extreme 12v cologne v6 turbo!

Hi everyone, im a massive fan off all the stuff that you guys are doing, lots of awesome projects, cars and inspiring people.

Basically im wanting to make a 400+ HP 12v v6 motor and need to know what is best to buy for it, what should i modify in the engine also? a big and detailed list would be of great help and i shall start collecting the parts.

fabrication isnt a problem for me the exhaust etc i can do that fine.

Also whats the best gearbox's to be using and axles?

thanks in advance for the help i hope to recieve!!

Andrew

A Kentcams V6T46 camshaft, aftermarket injectionsystem and a big turbo will do the trick. But it will be on the limit. Forged pistons and rods is highly recomendet to get some durability

thanks! so what size injectors? and what car? 350, 400, 600? which? what psi or bar of boost? k27 is the turbo im going for and megasquirt. the camshaft is something i have already im looking for good power for a good price i know places that do the pistons and rods but im not interested in paying 1000's for them.

thanks

Andrew

I have 440cc and if you can get hold on that size you can try out my Capri map.

14psi will give 400hp, mine gave 460 @ 18psi


We use BMW gearboxes, Ford don´t have any that can take the Ford six without living on the edge. I have a Volvo 240 rear axel, it´s not so wide and can take much before it breaks

thanks Mikeal,

what are the injectors off?

460bhp! of stock internals with just the cam changed!?!?!?

would a borg t5 work? i know you can get adaptors for them to fit the v6.

ok i shall hunt and buy one of them axles,

thanks for the help so far and the map of your car would be great, you use megasquirt with some upgrades dont you?

Andrew

oh and what about radiator, fans intercooler etc? oil cooler for turbo etc? do i need a blow off valve and a wastegate? ive got a 50mm HKS wastegate on order.

Andrew

Aftermarket injectors

Lightly ported heads on my machin with 460bhp

Borg warner can´t even take a cosworth on 400bhp så i would not recomend that gearbox.

Yes we use Megasquirt, nice and cheap

The bigger the better when it comes to radiator and intercooler. The v6 engine produce a lot of heat. Oilcooler is recomendet of you want to take it on a track day. 50mm wastegate will do. Blow off is not necesery but most people like the sound of it

what car would i get the 440cc injecctors off? nice and cheap is always a bonus,

so bmw gearbox with the bellhousing chopped and the v6 bellhousing ? or get an adaptor plate? what bmw is the gearbox off i need? ok well i have an oilcooler ordered also for the turbo, so i dont actually need a blow of valve then just a nice big wastegate?

when you bought your megasquirt what packages (extras etc) did you buy with it? so i can make sure its gonna run fine.

Andrew

I don´t know, it´s always best to buy new injectors


BMW 525 or 325 early 90 with ZF is the best choice


I only use the hallsensor in the distributor on my capri but simpliest is to buy a megasquirt for TFI instead.

I have launch and fan control as extra

ok i shall start looking for the injectors,

as i write this im looking for one of those gearboxs to buy,

ok so tfi megasquirt, is launch and fan control part of your map you have?

yes and no. you don´t need it för my map to work

so is it part of the megasquirt?

i understand what it is just trying to figure everything out for when i go for it,

oh and where can i find the bmw gearbox conversion?

how hard is the conversion and is there a lot to modify? what do i need for the full conversion? v6 for bellhousing and bmw gearbox, anything else?

oh the pipe you are using for your manifolds is 3.5"? what wall thickness is it? 3mm?

Yes

BMW gearbox conversioen is not easy, its very importent to get it straight.

Use 42mm pipes and 48mm pipes from the collectors

could you give me some help with the conversion,? guide pictures etc, that would be great cause as you say i dont want to cock it up.

i've just been looking for intercoolers and they are expensive!!

do you have any tips of cheap ones which come of another car?

and roughly how much did your conversion cost you, just the engine and all the bits etc..

Here you have, hope the pics is working.

You have to understand that a project like this can be cheap but some things must be of good quality. A intercooler from a ordenary car is to smalll for something like this.


A conversition here i sweden on a completly stock engine costs around 1500-2000gbp. That includes clutch and so on. To know what it will cost with camshaft-kit and new gaskets just check the prices on you local dealer

thanks for the help,

the pictures are working fine,

oh that price isnt to bad, around what i was expecting,

what clutch do you use?

ive already found the camshaft and gaskets thats fine,

what size intercooler do you use?

do you use an oilcooler on your capri?

and how reliable will the engine be on the capri, is the engine likely to blow and 18 psi? do you run it at that all the time?

Sachs 765 plate and a BMW M5 reinforced clutch plate

600x300mm intercooler

I have fitted the Capri with a large oilcooler. 18psi al the time

The engine works fine, so long as you don´t let it be to hot, if it starts to overheat the pistons take great damage.
The head gaskets can also be a problem. Make sure the gaskets surfaces is really straight and use better bolts.

thanks again,

start looking for them now

i've found the intercooler i need so thats sorted.

does your capri ever overheat?

Not now, it did before when i only hade one fan

im guessing you have 2 now then,

do you still use the stock radiator though or another upgrade?

I use a Saab radiator, but stock capri works to

oh ok well i know a fall back atleast,

right better start getting all this stuff, could take a while for some of it,

gearbox is main problem at the moment not 100% sure what im gonna do yet.

hmmmm, what car do you think would be cool to put an engine like this into?

i have a couple of ideas but any weird or wonderful sugestions?

mikael is your capri any good at drag racing?

im stuck between drift n drag hmmmmm

Capri or a Sierra. A Sierra p100 would be really cool

I have done 7.1 163km/h and 1.55 60-fot at 201m with my Capri

i was thinking either an insane Mk 1 capri, which would be really cool but ive thought about p100's before i also like the idea of them,

do you have a 1/4 mile time?

what torgue does your engine generate at 18psi?

and do you find your car is good at drag racing?#

oh did you upgrade your gaskets or just buy new ones?
