Re: FJ20 power

[Andrew Smith]

Most of you have probably seen the twin sprintex supercharged fj20 of paul martinis.Its never been on a dyno but paul conservativly estimates 700hp but from his times id say a bit more.The supercharges let it make power all the way but as paul says these engines have a slow point around 8000rpm that you have to get thru but they set theres up to run after that so they can keep it around 10,000rpm all the way down the track to get 7 sec quarters.They have plenty left to come from the engine but have never needed it as it has allways been the fastest 4 in the country.They have some fj24 heads and larger supercharges and an increase in capacity to come if anything starts to challenge. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 6:56 PM Subject: Re: FJ20 power Biggest HP I heard of for FJ20 was 900hp on an engine dyno. It all happened between 7,000 and 8,500 rpm. Engine was made for a drag car, not sure what it was though. The engine builder said it was like turning on a switch, the thing was either either on or off....no in between. It was only making some small amount of power (say 200bhp - can't remember exact figures) at 5,000rpm, then it started to climb - all hell broke loose at about 7,000rpm.   The Engine builder was Phil Rhyal (BRS Motorsports). He certainly knows his FJ20's, and it's just lucky that his engines are quicker than his service!   Mark.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Errol Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 5:50 PM Subject: RE: FJ20 power Thats got to be a world record for an FJ?????   Cheers Feral Errol -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Cleary Signs Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 5:30 PM To: Datsun Subject: FJ20 power Hi list,   just an update on my mates 1200 ute.
