go by the old rule,
400hp at engine is around 298kw at the engine (400/1.342 =298.06) 298kw at the wheels 222rwkw (298/1.342 =222.2) I think it would be possible if someone has 217rwkw on a NA 4.0L

It would only be around 150rwkw! 250 bhp is at the tyres not the flywheel, brake horsepower isnt at ther motor only foreign people say that(top gear) it is equivalent to 186.5 kw at the tyres. And yes the hemi 6 makes 350hp at the tyres(coz its a hemi  )? Brake horsepower is what the engine makes with all accessories fitted, not at the wheels. Its a measurement of the actual power available in real world situations. If I'm wrong, find an article/document stating otherwise... |

it's possible. it's just the parts to do don't exist yet. when some one comes up with a steel crank and a head that flows 280-300cfm, then we'll see it.
to make power you need to move a lot of air. which means doing it N/A you need lots of head flow and lots of revs |

my god, another of these threads
i think im gonna vomit maybe if someone had 10k in their hands, and could do most labour themselves, and they posted a thread it would be an interesting read, but atm its just a pure dream wank |

They also do anti pump up lifters that raise the potential rev limit of the engine to 7800rpm. All thats left is to engineer the induction and exhaust systems to flow the required amount of air. |

If I'm wrong, find an article/document stating otherwise... most the way there mate. HP is whats stated by manufacturers with a bare engine with no loads on it like alternator and gearbox etc. BHP or brake horsepower is the amount or horsies its got at the wheels (or brakes) and this takes into account losses from electrical load on the alternator, trans and diff etc. BHP and KW ATW mean the same thing. look it up in wiki or numerous other sites like 'difference between'.

i don't think it would be impossible but for the cost of it, its just not worth it

BHP is NOT at the wheels! BHP does NOT = RWKW
"Brake horsepower (BHP) is the amount of work generated by a motor without taking into consideration any of the various auxiliary components that may slow down the actual speed of the motor. Sometimes referred to as pure horsepower, brake horsepower is measured within the engine’s output shaft. Depending on the configuration of the engine, the point on the output shaft that is the focus of the measurement is the engine dynamometer. " " the actual horsepower of an engine, measured by a brake attached to the drive shaft and recorded on a dynamometer" |

All thats left is to engineer the induction and exhaust systems to flow the required amount of air. pretty sure the lifters are for the DOHC engine. I'd be looking at a solid conversion,.. suffice to say the only 'stock part' would be the block. i think, (like you) that we should be looking into heads at this point anyway. no point in a billet crank if there is not enough are flow. Now to down draught that head............ |

Even the block would have some heavy prep work. Head and main studs as well as sleeves. Grout for the tight a***.

You assumed my previous post about not making 400hp was to you but it wasnt smarty pants, its for the bloke who started this thread  You are confusing this thread with your hemi glory thread

You are wrong and im telling you so pal, when i did my mechanical apprenticeship it was a certain way then and it hasnt changed.get over it youre wrong. I dont need to prove it because its something i learnt through my work and tafe which is a nationally accredited place to teach such things. Power available in real world situations is power at the tyres(bhp) so you have just contradicted yourself there as well cobber. i wish you people would actually know stuff before you post stupid answers |

The facts are that 400 hp is not possible and people are trying to find things to pick bnecause they dont like my answers, so you can all kiss my a*** and my bhp output.
f**k dreamers |
