South Korea has made it to CNN! pretty great promoting the Elisa 2.7. i think it looks great, inspired by Italian design. i can swear those side windows are from a tiburon as well!

don't believe it's worth its price, but still.

 

kinda listened while doing other things but there's no way they could get 500 hp from the 2.7, turbo'd or not. a quick google search shows they'd take the v8 platform and add from there. that makes more sense. interesting rear end too, somewhat a-martin. nice

 

Wow, I'll take one, sign me up for the poor house. I didn't hear anything about horsepower numbers, were did you get that info Goldie? Maybe I should watch that video again.

 

Yes, you can get 500hp out of a turbocharged 2.7l. It has been done before. You will need a built block and significant modifications, but the Delta can make 500hp.

Hell, my friend has one with 349lb/ft of torque through an automatic trans. It would have made over 350hp but his turbo was too small at the time of the dyno run and ran out of breath before he made good hp numbers in the upper rpm's. That's on a stock block, heads, rotating assembly, and cam with a budget home built turbo setup. And he's been running at that power level or higher for a couple of years now.

You said "turbo was to small at the time". Did he go bigger and are there new dyno #'s?

 

He went larger, but no new numbers yet. Probably have another dyno day this fall or winter and I'll make sure to schedule it when he can make it.
