Re: Norwood MR2 land speed record
Absolutely amazing
My jaw dropped when I read the spec and the expectancy of the engine.
and I did laugh out loud when I read this
Great find Alex.

With a goal of an 11,000 RPM redline, each valve must open and close 92 times a second.

On our first run out of the trailer, says Norwood, the MR2 went 205 mph. We heard some people had trouble believing our car could be legal; youre not supposed to pound the record by 70 miles per hour.
Great find Alex.

... the 3S-GTE MR2 powerplant, an iron-block phenomenon built strong as an artillery piece that had been run at super-stock power levels by everyone from high-school dropouts to Pikes Peak racers like Millen
An "Iron-BLock Phenomenon"! Indeed it is

Re: Norwood MR2 land speed record
Imagine that, 999cc engine in an MR2. Really inspired group of builders.

Great read that- very enjoyable, I caught a program a few weeks back about the Bonneville race (can't remember what it was called), looks like an epic event, but much harder than people realise!

Was that the one where mate was trying to file his twinscrew charger back to life after it ingesting something?
Whats the top speed they got out the MR2?
TOTB 2010 Rwd top speed, 1/4 and shootout winner.
10.7@142 on R888 street tyres, 10.3@134mph on slicks,
9's on slicks to come, with a clean full throttle pass! Goal of 0-150mph in a 1/4 of a mile....

Re: Norwood MR2 land speed record
Yeah that was the one- the only bit of the engine they didn't make themselves, and it was the bit that died!
