when i spoke to geoff he said there heads were really good but the blocks are really a didgitised cast iron block cast in alloy so mayby not up to big bhp but still a nice block more for nasp motor i think

mark

Well I will hopefully giving my block a proper work out this year, so let's see if it's up to the job

[Tarren]

Sounds a interesting build for sure!

hi dave
i am sure they will be fine mate ,i didnt mean to diss it i meant over 1000 bhp not your piddly 800 lol

Ford GTT thats power

[cosmagedon]

Love the development still going into these engines, there's still a lot more for them to give with new blocks and the rest

[WENNY]

be noce to see but far to expensive and unreliebale imo.,
might aswell use 1 of the many american engines with twin turbo or charger etc for a fraction of the price and can ber rebuilt very easy with parts off the shelf

[ossie cossie]

SWEET just give me the cam cover with JONES on. Will look good in my engine bay.

i was talking to a guy called geoff page the other day ,he will have a built yb and a alloy block bare at the show ,and he garantees that it will make 1000 bhp and will push it to 1300 bhp but at a 1000 will last the same as a 500 standard blocked one ,it will look nothing like a standard block and will use a lot of design from the bdt which they use in the rs200 which goeff has built many pushing 800/900 bhp ,this is what he told me and takes a hole new look at the block design unlike copying a yb in alloy

One question on this did you ask him what his quotes of hp was based on and how many 1000hp YB's has he built to be able to quote that hp,
It doesnt matter how many RS200 he has built as thats not a YB.

Hey Mark, can you machine us all a nice billet 200 block from scratch for a fraction of the cost?

Same thing i mentioned on PF mark, its a strong quote on his engine and i cant see how he can state that with no actual proof.

I do understand the guy has built some wild Rs200 engines but to me that doesnt really make any difference its a totally different engine.

But i hope it does what he quotes

HI MARK
wouldnt the same princbles apply to any engine ,if hes using the same materials ,and configaration as a rs 200 then wouldnt the figures cross over aswell , as a engine builder /designer that he his ,wouldnt he have been able to calculate those figures as the 1000 bhp he quoted he said was a starting figure and he spoke of 1300 ,all iam is passing on what he said ,would you not think it very possible as 1600/1800 cc f1 engines were making 1500 bhp 10 years ago

hi robert
i think these things can be worked out ,they didnt have practise runs flying to the moon lol .they calculated what they needed and just did it ,in my eyes and i am no expert a rs200 engine is very similar to yb 1800 or 2.1 4 cylinder 16 valve etc

So guessing based on a diff engine. What was turbo inlet manifold and fuel being used for the test.

i dont know mark ,i dont want to seem like i am defending him ,or arguing with you ,but 2o years ago did you think it was possible to get 800/900 bhp out of a yb ,also would you have thought a v8 would make 8500 bhp and do the quarter mile in 3 seconds at 340 mph lol ,did you ever see back to the future when his car was around cowboys and horses and he was sat in a metal box that went on its own and here we are driving cars and flying in things with wings lol

dont you think its possible ,and i seem to remember when people on this forum were asking how good those twin scroll turbos span up you showed a graph of a stroker evo ,was that guessing based on a different engine lol sorry but i had too
