V8 saxo. Is it possible??

27th November 2008, 16:50

I know its bizzare but i have just been thinkin about it. Soes anyone kno if its possible??

27th November 2008, 16:52

anything is possible if you have the cash

27th November 2008, 16:53

Money no object....yes.
Literally no reason to do it though as you could get more power otherways for the same cash.

27th November 2008, 16:55

could be done

would really need to be mid engine to work and tbh a z cars vtech kit plus a charger will see similar power for less work (its a proven kit) and similar price

27th November 2008, 16:56

why are we gettin LOTS of newbies recently asking stuff like this?

Also asking if you can have 4wd twin engines etc etc

Is it a newbie thing or somthing??

27th November 2008, 16:58

sounds a bit silly to me would rather have an uprated VTS engine or something
with similar power but for less money

think they all hope its going to be cheep and they can get a nicer car for pennies... dont work tho

27th November 2008, 17:05

i think they like to ask questions

back in the day i was gunna do a v8 metro
had a plan worked out a rover 3.5 and a 1.1i metro in grey
was too rusty to use though

its a case of they dont realise how nuch work is involved i think

plus how much the extra engine weight will upset the handling

27th November 2008, 19:25

Id like a supercharged LS7 engine over my rear wheels.
I dont have the 20-30K id prob need to do it lol

27th November 2008, 19:30

When i've finished uni in a Few years (I'll be 25), this is on my list instead of buying a new car. The VTR will be waaay over 100k miles by then, so a K20 in the middle will do the job nicely

in a different shell be faster, the mid engined saxos dont seem to have produced anything decent on track or 1-4mile so far.

27th November 2008, 20:33

Excuse the HTML! am not used to this forums setup

lol me and my dad have been on about this with his 5.7L supercharged V8

i said it would be hard to do, my dad said, naaaaah, it wont be lmbo

he is a wiz kid.

you could space frame it into the back, or have it in the front with the bulk head moved back.

dad said he would have it front mounted, move the bulkhead back and move the seat/driving position back. have the seats level on the floor and chop the roof down.

best to use a old jag rear axle, chop the prop shaft to fit the length of the car and chop the drive shafts to suit.

would have the car low at the front and then jacked up at the rear (so you can see the jag axle, discs are either side of the diff in the middle of the car

)

then a few small wheelie bars

would only be good in a straight line.

excellent power from using the SC and ethanol or methanol, could even bang a few turbos on. dosnt need it with the top end of 500bhp that its got.

i told him we can use my shell and his engine.

changed his mind and told me to fook off lol

i will get it one day

was in this capri until he sold the car and kept the engine

28th November 2008, 10:33

proper straight line monster

i dont like drag racing (i prefer the twisties) but seeing that motor in a saxo done like a proper drag car would be cool

i think mostly seeing the 3 inch charger belt spinning round n the engine just tourquing itself around in the bay with a blip would look insane

28th November 2008, 10:40

it sounds awesome, the whine off the charger is insane

28th November 2008, 10:48

lol
i can just image a mark 1 with that poking out lol

the noise must be mental
does he run straight through or shorty pipes
id run shorties just so its as loud as possible
dinno where youd aim them out a saxo though lolz

EDIT:actually pics shows the side exit duh lol
