Pretty impressive numbers from the lil aussie 6.
Probably make more power than my 308 :(

1.72hp per cube Equivalent to a 308 making 530hp.

Great build!

 I’m in the late stages of assembly some gizzards to go into a stroker inline 6 bmw about 199 CI up from 152 CI not too dissimilar in many ways and these are the kind of numbers i'm aiming for

What exhaust was this running in terms of primary and collector size and length etc?

 

who did the machine work?

 

Sorry mate I didnt see this post till now- as James mentioned the pipes are HM9Cs, I cut the flanges off and welded the old pipes to the JZED flange. They were rusty old pipes that I picked up for $100- they work very well though. Was not fun grinding and welding them up though, needed a bit of 'persuasion' hahaha. 

 

The machine work was done by Westend Performance.

Sounds awesome, made me smile when l think back to the 202 in my HQ race car in the 90's

that made about 200 less HP than that thing. It also didn't sound much like that either  :D

Doesn't sound like it's revving that hard, but it says 6950rpm on the screen. :spoton:

I will get it out soon, just ironing out some bugs... Charging system is working but im not getting full volts to battery so need to work that out... I am getting a lot of voltage drop to the battery. Heat soak is affecting the starter motor as well so need to insulate that a little better. Just little things but time is not in my favour lately...
