Hmm ...... panjang explanation .... but for your info that engine was run on Engine Dyno to achieve 1000 hp on 100 Octane la ...... i repeat Engine Dyno! AMS actually built that monster machine to enter the Castrol Syntec Top Shop Engine challenge for the Nov 3rd 2008, SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Auto Show in Las Vegas.
7 top auto shops in the US were put up to the challenge & all tested on the same Engine Dyno. Bro Azizi, why Modified Mag? Because of their good & long association with AMS that's why Mod Mag selected them for the challenge.
They achieved that by running the first stage turbo (a GT28) off of the outlet to the inlet of the 42r which would have reduced/eliminated the top end losses from running the smaller turbo first in the series by the use of Actuating valves. In really layman terms (myself included), AMS was using a smaller turbo to start off low and help power a larger turbo for the higher gains so the power curve would be constant and never have any lag. Darn .... a 'sequential twin' turbo set-up on a 4G63 .... talk about innovation ... respek!!
Basically, AMS won .... but the engine was then given away as the main prize in a lucky draw based on the online voting by fans .... Shitz!! why we don't have this kind of competitions here ....
Here's the results ... Engine builder/Team (Magazine)
1. AMS/Modified Mag (1035HP 2.0L Mitsubishi 4G63 Turbo ---- 421 points)
2. G-Dimensions/Import Tuner Mag (827HP 2.1L Nissan SR20 DET ---- 356 points)
3. 034 Motorsports/Eurotuner Mag (848HP 2.3L Audi 7A 20-valve ---- 306 points)
4. SP Engineering/Turbo Mag (966HP 2.8L Nissan RB26 DETT ---- 302 points)
5. Bisimoto/Super Street Mag (360HP Honda 2.4L Honda F22A N/A ---- 250 points)
6. Cosworth/Sport Compact Car Mag (438HP 3.8L Nissan VQ35DE N/A ---- 210 points)
7. ACE Machine/Lowrider Mag (1092HP 6.0L Chevy V-8 Twin Turbo ---- 163 points)
The principle behind the event is simple...make the BEST all around engine. You are scored on peak horsepower, horsepower under the curve, engineering and even your overall presentation. To keep things fair every engine must succumb to a series of multipliers/handicap based on the size and power add ons. For instance an all motor 4-cyl would have very little to nothing in the way of multipliers but a twin turbo big block V8 would be severely handicapped with multipliers. This keeps a level playing field.
Just building a motor for the competition was not enough. This had to be put on an engine dyno outside of a car. To accomplish this all competitors had to make a supplementary cart to contain all the vital components for the engine like, Water cooler, Dry sump oil reservoir, battery and the ECU complete with gauges. Because they are judged on engineering and overall presentation.
Some of the items that went into the AMS Engine build are:
AMS built 2.0L 1000hp capable block using Ross Racing pistons, Manley Turbo Tough rods and a super lightweight K1 2.0 Crank. Built and assembled by AMS'es Tim Salefski!
AMS CNC Cylinder head using Supertech Valvetrain Components
AMS Dry Sump Oil System
AMS Drag plenum VSR manifold
AMS Custom fabricated turbo system using a GT42R turbocharger courtesy of Precision Turbo
AMS Custom Air to water intercooler system
AEM EMS engine management and Gauge setup
Spark-Tech Custom COP system
and a whole bunch more
All info from AMS & US Forums.... Have pics but lazy to upload ...
So Bro Leslie .... the engine was not run on an Evo for a Drag race (although it was built for a Dragger).... but on a Dyno .... the entire set-up protrudes out something like close to 1/2 of the chassis length ....:stupid:
Front bumper was never fitted .... cudn't be anyway ..
Bro Azizi, they did run with the Sequential twin turbo for the competition but lacked time for further tuning time to improve on that 1035HP .... no way the GT42 can make 1000+HP on it's own on a 4g63 laa ... the Custom Air-to-Water intercooler system is on the right of that pic u posted. The Drag Plenum is custom made to order.
