Those of you wondering if T4 motors are any good for drag racing, My good friend Russ Fellows ran a 10.05 and 10.06 at the weekend.unfortunately I believe he had his first retirement in god knows how many years when he split a barrel.
His 60' time of 1.44 was nearly his best ever on the final run which would have been in the 9's.



Hi to Cam and Kai

That's awesome!

Any specs on mods/engine?

Not quite up to date but close

Thats well wicked ! I bet he is just itching for a 9 eh ?

Interesting how when he went turbo from NA, his times dropped by over 2.2 seconds but his terminal speed only increased by 10mph !

Would love to know some more details about the 911 head swap - I read a bit in one of the UK mags about it but as usual it showed very little detail. At least with a 911 you dont have water jackets to contend with (I have seen a type 4 with EJ20 subaru heads on it too, another pommy invention !), but it would be neat to see how he has shortened the head and cam by a whole cylinder !

71 x 104 seems pretty oversquare too, I guess the engine is pretty revvy ?

Great effort !

Well Doug I have corresponded with it seems most of the off the wall type tuners regarding 911 heas I can send you the replies and If you need any questions answering I'll be happy to respond.
Oversquare? well there are so many things about this motor that dont follow convention that we went past caring lol.

Interesting that he is running twin plug heads!

Awesome bug!

Craig Paton you are a stirrer!

Well it is a fact! :thumb
