hill climb power?

[briejer]

How much horse power would it take for my buggy (with all kinds of power loss in the ring&pinion and portals )to fly up a hill Icelandic style?

Up one of those hill's?? **** dude your talking atleast 1500hp and NOS with your gear ratio's. Probably more. What kind of HP are those rigs running?






But that **** does look fun dont it??:awesomework:

just good driving. light flywheel. its like building a banshee hillshooter, but bigger. alot of those rigs are no more than a race jeep on scoops. oh yeah, and a little bit of good driving.:beer:

It's just a math function as far as drivetrain loss is concerned. Figure what HP you need at the wheels and add parasitic losses to get engine HP. How much HP you need at the wheels is relative to how fast you want/ need to go up the hill. NOS has nothing to do with it, HP is HP.
Who's going to drive it for you? If you're too broken up to drive on a trail you sure as hell aint racing up hills.

That dude that used to come over for the CalRocs events years past I think said most of those Icelandic rigs are stock big blocks running lots of NOS. They're cheap and easy to get parts for.

 

[no excuses]

the top class guys are running big cu inch big blocks with 1000+hp and the lower classes of course are running less. Its easy to build that type of HP, all it cost is money $$$$ :fawkdancesmiley: :haha:

One Millllliiiiooonnnn HP

Robin, I think you would be better off to stick with RC's :fawkdancesmiley:

Those damn things are confusing to drive.

Think blower.. Not that cute little blower like troy runs, you'd need 6-71 at about 10% over drive to get that tank up to speed....

lose the mog axles and get dana 60's prob 4:56 gears in them and a 508 crate engine with nos:awesomework:

 

[Bunk1]

I say about 650 hp. With a 300 shot of nos in case ya need it. You have forged pistons robin?

 

[Glenn]

Do you have money burning a hole in your pockets syndrome?

I wish....just curious. Some say 500-650hp, others say 1000hp. There is a a lot of difference there.

 

[JOOP]

I still say 1000+ is what those rigs are running with NOS.

a 1000 if your talking about your anchor axled rig! 600 if your building a lightweight 60axled paddle slinger.:beer:

 

[Totalled]

You're gonna want a big block to make that power consistently and reliably...

:;
for sure I slowed mine down just to be controlable around 125 to 150 hp boost..

most those guys are runnin between 1000 to 1500hp overall
