Naaaaaaa...... Guess how its swallow petrol ? ? ? Masterpiece ?
do we really need a V12 ? with such complex mechs ? do we ?

should make it to comes with Supercharger+Turbocharger!

any straight-six RB26DETT could get those figures(in terms of bhp)

Besides, 500hp for track use is more than sufficient =) PTAllTheBest:

One of the most pronounced and obvious reasons for swapping the 3 litre 2JZ-GTE for the 5 litre 1GZ-FE was because of the massive difference in torques. 481NM > 298NM. You can even hear Iida-san commenting on how great the torque is at 2.49 of the video. The engine also has a high compression ratio of 10.5:1 which means that acceleration would be consistent and quick in it's natural N/A form. Coupled with that turbocharger in the video above, the car is quite a force to be reckoned with. Plus, its built by Top Secret's Smokey Nagata whom we all know churns out incredible cars like his RB26DET (Not typo, its single turbo) Supra, 986hp 33 GT-R and Turbocharged VK45 V8 engined V35 Skyline that did 341km on the Autobahn in Germany for fun. Oh blisss..... Check out those plenums!!

And I like how they made the rear intake scoop, tasteful. What's a Xantia doing outside the Top Secret workshop? Curious really. alternation; The Asparadrink and D1 RX7s (and another one that looks like a Porche) weren't for mass production either. 20Bs are heavier and will disrupt the weight balance too, but it was still done. Reliability is an issue if the car is to be used in a race or tournament. What good's a car that can win one round before having to sit out the remaining races? Nice headlamps!

In fact, its meant for track use i think. Its a wierd conversion bcoz tht V12 is heavier compared with its famed ori engine which is well known to pump over 500 bhp while still reliable. With this mod, alot of balancing and weight distribution had to be done for it to handle well. I think its more of an exercise. Btw the front light looks very beng.

The 13Bs can easily put out more than 600hp but will become unreliable, 20Bs on the other hand can be tuned to put out 600hp comfortably while not putting as much stress on the engine. My two cents.
