If you guys get this sorted out, you should bring it to the States for Hot Rod Drag Week. There are a few other people that have shipped their cars over in the past few years and what you have done to create this work of art wouldn't go unnoticed.

That is absolutely true! Thank you very much 😃👍

[@SuperBrainAK]

Wow! That is awesome! I think you need some extremely high torque parts for your transmission and driveshaft! You may also want some longer gears so you aren't shifting so often. I can't wait until you fix all the bugs and show this going down a drag strip! That will be a wild day!

[@tentshedtrev6596]

So happy this project is still happening! With the planetary gearset into the transmission, do you have any guesses as to the torque that gearbox is seeing? It must be astronomical!

[@TheMeteorInterceptor]

Thank you very much. Well, we tried it in a dyno, but it couldn't handle the power. But we got 3000 Nm@1800 rpm. So it will be a lot of torque at 3400 rpm with boost too. We guess that it is over 5000 Nm, maybe more 😃👍

[@ZylonFPV]

Are you generating much boost yet? I can’t hear the turbos spooling up to crazy levels but I can hear them!

[@TheMeteorInterceptor]

No, not much at all since we have a problem with the gearbox right now 😃👍

@@TheMeteorInterceptor You need a very strong gearbox, there won’t be many around that can take the torque! Are you going to replace it with a stronger one?

I'm getting wisps of merlin then the turbos kick in. Guessing it's a turbo400, which when built can handle a lot but it must still be not having a fun time with the torque of the turbos kicking in. Maybe a different convertor needed?

[@TheMeteorInterceptor]

Yes, we need to upgrade the even more 😃👍

[@dustra5000]

[@lordorion5776]

the meteor engine was used in several British tanks from ww2 so thats kinda deliberate

It's almost like they're using a tank engine 🤔

[@TheMeteorInterceptor]

Yes, the sound is truly amazing! Even better IRL 😃👍

[@pipopoikapelaa5468]

​@@lordorion5776I'd say most notably in the Cromwell tank, where they had to actually limit the engine power because otherwise this beast of an engine would push the rank to 64km/h, which was too much for it's parts to really handle and would wear them out way faster than usual.

[@Pfiffiification]

I think the weels an the rear axle aren't a good choice 🙈 you need a dragster axle with wide tires with this torque

[@camojoe83]

I think you need a little ratio change somewhere to keep that thing in the upper half of it's rpm range pretty much whenever it's moving. Seems like too big a vacuum difference for the thing to deal with trying to drive it down closer to idle.. maybe. Idk. Seems a big ask for an engine like that to have any rapidity of throttle response like you're used to in a car.

No traction and the gearbox isn't holding.. Wonder why that is..? :D :D Could it be the overweight block..? It needs the transmission and rear gear from F-750. The V10 platform should be close enough to hold, at least a while. To get it hook, not a chance. Maybe if the engine moves to back seat. As it sits, it's just constant feed of drive line parts.

[@TheMeteorInterceptor]

No the block is not overweight at all. It is made of aluminum and only weighs 600kg, considered that it is 27 liter (1647 cui) it is very light. The total dry weight of the car is around 2000kg, that's just 100kg more than the original Crown Vic. And the weight distribution is 52-48%. We just need to get the gearbox to handle the torque 😃👍
