HP Academy is really delivering with great back to back vids. Impressive knowledge on the fly but wouldve liked to see more vehicle details plus sound clip
They sound nice but having a jet engine to augment your compression ratio is fucking cool too. The automotive space has been behind aeronautical engineers forever, I'd say it's a good time to look into what these guys are doing before a gay, EV toy car, sets another all-time record.
If I remember correctly he also built and raced a gnarly bmw 135i hill climb car before he passed away. Both that car and this bimmer are absolute monsters
My personal favorite was his BMW 134 which I believe used a similar if not the same engine. I also believe it was the car he unfortunately crashed and passed away in. The man was an absolute legend, must’ve taken some serious guts to drive his machines
Sheeeeeit dude, this gotta be the best technical channel on youtube. Someday i will still blow some money on your courses, just for the sake of it. Love your work, cheers
ALL I WANT TO SEE IS HOW THE EXHAUST IS ROUTED. THAT'S IT. I CAN GET AN ENGINE; I CAN'T REPLICATE THAT ANGELIC SOUND WITHOUT SEEING THE EXHAUST. I WANT IT!!!!!!!
yeah after years of saving and seeing friends build cheap turbo engines to blow up and build again i have finally gotten my beast aswell a volvo NA B230 2.3L I4 bored and stroked to 3.1L dual overhead cams, 50mm ITB's and the biggest set of valves the head can fit, and custom cams 14.5mm intake lift and a max rpm of 8k safely if i should believe the piston speed calculator, and should be able to pump 300++ on 95 octane pump gas for daily commuting, i wish 10k+ rpm was possible but no can do. NA is where all the good sounds are in my opinion.
@@GetUpFalcon you know what i think i have to, i bet with the ITB setup it will sound amazing at rpm as well as have a mean idle, only need to get together the fuel system and electrical, and shorten the driveshaft to accommodate the 6 speed bmw diesel gearbox
I believe it like eases out of it towards the limit. Like it starts restrictive NG power softly at 7k and gets progressive until you have no power at 7.5k. Hard cut it cuts off fuel or timing at the 7.5k limit and it pulls to the max up to that point.
Normally the soft cut is set 2-300 rpm prior to the hard cut and will progressively begin cutting fuel or spark to slow the increase in rpm. As it's name suggests, it's relatively soft or smooth and doesn't tend to upset the car. The hard cut is a full cut of fuel/ignition that prevents any further rise in rpm but this can feel quite harsh and may upset the car balance.
@pabauza, nope, I meant 211 mph as stated. This is actually on the cars specification board that was at the pit space. The top speed however is variable depending on gearing but a lot of the European hill climb courses provide for some very high top speeds.
Then very impressive. I can’t imagine doing 211 mph on a hillclimb course. Anywhere actually. Thanks for the clarification. BTW you have the purest enthusiast channel on youtube. All substance and no BS.
There are a variety of options such as air actuated solenoids that actuate the throttle mechanism. Not as easy to configure as a dbw setup but totally achievable and effective once dialled in.
Didn't he build a 1 series after e36? That car was about the package more than just the engine as you said 560hp is not the most but it certainly would be more manageable than turbo equivalents .Or maybe not with today's tech .
It's an MK60 based unit, not available for consumers unfortunately. Although I do happen to have this exact unit and firmware on my racing car. It works really good.
A racing ABS is actually fairly similar to a road-going system. The main difference being how accurate, and often it registers wheel slip . My experience is its actually harder to map the traction control.
It's fitted to the BMW E46 M3 from the factory with the CSL model receiving the slightly more advanced version. Google it and there are a few links and companies that will sell you pre-made looms to retrofit EDITED to add link - www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2304811-MK60-ABS-Standalone-info
This particular unit is an MK60e5. It's similar to the MK60 based race units but with additional capabilities such as more advanced data logging and aero compensation. Both the MK60 and MK60e5 are excellent race ABS systems. Feel free to drop me a line or check out this FB page for more info. facebook.com/bmwm3motorsport/
Rip Georg Plasa. Dude built a beast. Thanks for the indepth look HP Academy!
The induction sound these engines put out is unreal.
560 hp less than 2000lbs. + 11000 rpm is pretty damn cool.
Yeah, I had to go ,"WAIT...WHAT...that's just under 2000lbs!" That is crazy!
@@PatrickLipsinic he said eight hundred and something kilograms.
@@jiveturkey9993 yeah I know, LOL.
@@PatrickLipsinic do you think they may have cooked that weight stat a little?
@@jiveturkey9993 yeah, a little bite.
Thank you guys👍
Glad you enjoyed it =) - Taz
yesssssssss!!!!! one of my favorite cars broken down by the best car channel on youtube!
N/A all the way! Nothing is more sweet sounding or engaging!
wait... no exhaust clip?? cmon
Just search for a video, it’s all over UA-cam
Unfortunately not, we weren't aloud to film the track at Goodwood. But as @onnihilated said, this thing is all over youtube 🤘- Jono
Awesome feature! I myself have watched just about any footage of this car I could find on UA-cam
95 Kg of N/A produces 500++ hp
[*] RIP Georg.
Another great video.. one of my favourite cars
Wow. Less the a ton rwd car with 500+hp sounds like an absolute thrill to drive.
HP Academy is really delivering with great back to back vids. Impressive knowledge on the fly but wouldve liked to see more vehicle details plus sound clip
Naturally aspirated engine design is for real mechanical engineers.
They sound nice but having a jet engine to augment your compression ratio is fucking cool too. The automotive space has been behind aeronautical engineers forever, I'd say it's a good time to look into what these guys are doing before a gay, EV toy car, sets another all-time record.
Ergo, forced induction design is for fake mechanical engineers?
@@phoenixrising7047 I don't think any "real" engineers would spend anytime arguing this point in a UA-cam comment section ;).

We spoke to the team about the 134 and yes, it was the same engine. It's a huge shame that Georg passed away :(

Love your work, cheers
Thanks mate! Look forward to it!
Best car in the world.

Your videos are amazing
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them. We had a good run at Goodwood too, still heaps to come out - Taz.😎

3.1L inline 4? Post some vids of that when the time comes mate.

My question is why spin 3.4 liter v8 that fast ?
What's the difference between hard cut and soft cut rev limiter?
I believe it like eases out of it towards the limit. Like it starts restrictive NG power softly at 7k and gets progressive until you have no power at 7.5k. Hard cut it cuts off fuel or timing at the 7.5k limit and it pulls to the max up to that point.

@@hpa101 well explained
I think you meant 211 kph, not mph.

Yes it's crazy enough on the flat, let alone hitting that going UP the side of a mountain eh! Incredible.
Thanks for the kind words too! - Taz.
How does auto-blip with cable throttle work?
I would imagine you could use the idle air controller?
There are a variety of options such as air actuated solenoids that actuate the throttle mechanism. Not as easy to configure as a dbw setup but totally achievable and effective once dialled in.
Didn't he build a 1 series after e36?
That car was about the package more than just the engine as you said 560hp is not the most but it certainly would be more manageable than turbo equivalents .Or maybe not with today's tech .
Yes he did use parts from this car including the engine for a later BMW build - Taz.
Any info on that ABS unit? really interested, it's easy to implement advanced traction control strategies, ABS not so much,
It's an MK60 based unit, not available for consumers unfortunately. Although I do happen to have this exact unit and firmware on my racing car. It works really good.
