What considerations go into taking a 150HP engine and making it produce 600HP with huge cylinder pressures, reliably? When you want to double, triple or even octuple an engines output, at some stage you're going to find the limitations of your factory block and head castings either in dramatic fashion or via constant repairs and rebuilds for ‘minor' issues. In professional motorsport, either outcome is unacceptable.Want to learn how to EFI tune? Start with some free lessons right here: hpcdmy.co/tunebDavid Mountain of MounTune runs Andre though some of the block failures they have seen during their engine development programs where very high cylinder pressures are seen to produce large amounts of low-end torque for World RX competition engines where they are running 4 times the power the engine would produce in factory trim.Discussed are the bore size, block weight, cylinder bore centers and other design parameters they must work within depending on class regulations, how they get away with the pressures a diesel engine would run in a steel block using aluminium instead, and some of the coatings they use on bore liners and piston rings to make it all work.David also gives some great insight into cast vs billet block production including some of the advantages when it comes to casting. We also learn how 4 week to 3-month production lead times for modern 3D computer-aided design (CAD) production via software like SolidWorks compares to the 5-6 month days of 2D drawings. Interestingly, even with the use of finite element analysis (FEA) a lot of real-world experience is drawn on to ensure a balance is found between the many, many considerations and tradeoffs that every design tweak carries.Lastly, we learn how MounTune avoids any issues with cylinder sleeves dropping, why the factory design for head studs is not optimal once you start running higher pressures, Nikasil coating use and how before any tools have been lifted the CAD process can be used to ensure those regulation weight targets are hit along with avoiding any major design flaws. While some of this technology seems like magic that does the work for you, in reality without that real-world experience and knowledge bank to draw on it's useless. Just like any quality tool, the person in charge needs to know what they're doing to get the desired results.

Cuando hablas de coches de policía piensas en aburridas berlinas de cuatro puertas y prestaciones más bien escasas. Pero no te imaginas ver a modelos de Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Porsche… ¡vamos a llenar nuestro Garaje Hermético de coches Patrulla! Ya sabéis que siempre distingo entre información y opinión. Esto es información: Los coches de policía molan mucho. Da igual que sean berlinas sosainas, cuando los pintas de colorines, les pones el cartel de policía y unas luces rotativas en el techo, y ganan mucho. 1. Alfa-Romeo Giulia (Italia). Muchos me diréis: “¡Hombre, Máximo, ¡que no es para tanto un Giulia!” Es que he hecho trampa y os he hurtado información en la cortinilla: Sí, es un Giulia, pero no un simple Giulia, sino el QV de 510 CV. 2. Alpine A110 (Francia). Continuamos, aunque no lo creáis, de forma suave, con los Alpine A110, un coche de unos 250 CV … poca cosa entre lo que vamos a ver hoy, os lo adelanto. La “gendarmerie” ha encargado 26 para sustituir a los Megane RS, porque la policía francesa siempre ha tenido coches rápidos, en especial para perseguir a los infractores por exceso de velocidad. 3. Audi R8 V10 (Dubái). Subimos la apuesta. Ya os decía yo que los 250 CV del Alpine eran poca cosa, y es que este Audi R8, más que duplica esa cifra. Un coche de 525 CV, con una velocidad punta de 325 km/h, una aceleración de 0 a 100 km/h en algo más de 3 segundos y de un precio que casi llega, sin contar luces, sirena, radio, pintura especifica y esos detalles, a los 250.000 €. 4. Aston-Martin One-77 (Dubái). ¡Lo más de lo más! ¡Lo tengo claro! El responsable de las compras de los coches de la policía del Emirato de Dubái es más aficionado que tú y que yo. Este coche es super exclusivo, porque solo se han fabricado 77, con chasis de carbono, motor V12 de 7 litros, 760 CV, 350 km/h de punta y un precio de cerca de 1,5 millones de euros. 5. BAC Mono (Reino Unido). El más original de esta lista. Pero ¡ojo! es del Reino Unido, pero no de cualquier sitio, sino de la Isla de Man… ya sabéis como son allí. El BAC Mono un monoplaza, se ve que no hay muchos policías y van de uno en uno, y no parece demasiado práctico para la policía. Pesa apenas 580 kilogramos y esconde un motor de gasolina y 2,5 litros, preparado por Mountune, con 310 CV de potencia. 6. Bentley Continental GT (Dubái). ¡Más locuras de Dubái! ¿Por qué conformarse con 525 CV si pueden tener 590? Este Continental tiene un motor W12 biturbo de casi 600 CV de potencia y sobrepasa los 300 km/h, pero rodeados de lujo y confort… 7. Citroën AMI (Grecia). ¡Basta ya de super coches! Seamos sensatos… como lo son en la isla griega de Chálki, una isla de 27 km cuadrados y con menos de 1.000 habitantes. Por eso han escogido este coche, porque con los usados en Dubái, pegas un acelerón y te sales de la isla. 8. Ferrari 458 Spider (Italia). Una historia interesante, porque este coche no lo compro la policía de Milán. No, y tampoco se lo regalo Ferrari. Este Ferrari 458 fue incautado en 2018 a un miembro de la mafia italiana antes de ser convertido en un coche de policía. Nunca se utilizó realmente para perseguir a los delincuentes, una pena pues con sus 570 CV y sus 325 km/h de máxima, es ideal para perseguir a los malos. 9. Lamborghini Huracán (Italia). Pues se ve que a los carabinieri el Alfa Romeo Giulia, aunque fuese el QV, les parecía poco. Así que se atrevieron con este Huracán, un coche de casi 600 CV y con una punta de más de 300 km/h. 10. Lotus Évora S (Reino Unido). No es nuevo que la policía británica use Lotus, yo lo hizo antes con los Lotus Elise o el Lotus Exige. Este coche presta servicio con la policía de los condados del este del país y fue una unidad cedida por Lotus para protagonizar campañas destinadas a combatir la conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol. 11. Mercedes-Benz CLS Brabus (Alemania). A mí me parece una magnifica lección de ingenio. Imagínate que era de la “Polizei” alemana y que quieres comprar para patrullar un Mercedes CLS pero no cualquiera, sino el preparado por Brabus, de 700 CV. Necesitas una disculpa. ¿Y cuál puede ser esa disculpa? Pues la que utilizaron me parece buenísima, la idea era promocionar una mejor regularización del mundo del tuning. 12. Porsche 911 (Austria). En Austria siempre ha habido tradición de que la “Poli” tenga Porsches… Puedes encontrar fácilmente Porsche 356 y 911 de la policía austriaca… en slot. Cerramos este listado con un 911 de la serie 991 que, éste sí, fue cedido a la policía austriaca en 2017… pero con trampa. Se lo prestaron durante unos meses y luego lo reconvirtieron en coche de calle. Coche del día. Este coche del día me sirve para meter un coche más, porque voy a elegir el Nissan GT-R, pero el de la policía de la prefectura de Tochigi, en Japón.

We're back for episode 85! And once again, we're joined by the Short One (two weeks in a row!). Joseph takes point this week, and talks about the new Mustang V8 Supercar and why it looks so bloody weird, and not at all like a Mustang. We then talk a bit about V8 Supercars, and motorsport, as a whole. Matt then brings up some news regarding January 2019 being the worst month for car sales since 2012, however MG's sales for January is up 400% on 2018's sales numbers. Then we talk about the new Mazda 3, and autonomous driving tech. We then talk about Ford and Volkswagen getting together to make a smaller truck under the Ford Ranger for emerging markets, specifically South America. Then we talk about platform sharing tactics between car brands. Mitch then talks about Porsche coming forward to say their last 911's fuel efficiency being miscalculated due to using a wrong calculation of drag its co-efficient. Joseph then brings up the new Rav4, and for the most part (except for Matt) we like it, despite it getting larger... Again. We then argue over what Matt means by calling the CH-R "Quirky and fun.", and then Joseph talks about Mountune's new gear and tune for the Focus RS. We then have an argument about luxury cars, specifically Audi and how only the RS need to exist. We then get straight into our favourite and newest game; 'How Bout Dat', where we each name our favourite cars from brands and vote on which car wins.

Ken Anderson grew up in LA during the 70’s and enjoyed normal kid stuff like biking and skateboarding. Ken’s first car was a VW Bug and he discovered how much fun it was to customize it. In the mid-80’s, he got a job at a local Honda dealership in the parts department. That dealership begin importing Mugen parts from Japan and was installing them onto cars. After a few years of working at the dealership, he wanted to get into racing and got in touch with Russ at RC Engineering. Ken started as a shop assistant and learned a lot about engine dynamics during his time there. Then, he heard about an opportunity at HKS and got a job as a sales person. He got in on the ground floor of HKS bringing their excellent build quality to the US. After some time, he had an opportunity to team up with Rod Millen and began importing parts for the Miata when it was first brought to the US. They built some great cars and imported all sorts of parts for the Miata and other Mazda cars. Eventually, Ken saw yet another opportunity in SUV’s and branched out to start a company that imported accessories for vehicles like the Land Cruisers, Montero’s, and Troopers. This was the first company that Ken started on his own and he grew it to be a very large company. Then he sold his stake to a partner and exited the business. The next venture was back into smaller sports cars. He met a man who worked at Cosworth during a car event and this meeting turned into another business opportunity. At the time, Cosworth’s primary role in the US was to support the Champ Car racing series. But Cosworth wanted to manufacture and sell more parts in the US and Ken was put in charge of that task. When Ford sold off the Cosworth arm of the business, Ken helped introduce several products for different vehicle manufacturers. They got started with products like a CNC head for the Subaru STI, as well as a CNC head and cams for the Mitsubishi Evo. After building up yet another business, Ken left to go work for COBB Tuning for the next 1.5 years. Ken then traveled to England for the Autosport Performance Trade Show and had a meeting with Mountune to sell them the Accessport. David Mountain, the founder of Mountune, was actually looking for somebody to introduce the US to their products and knew that Ken would be perfect for the job. So Ken took the offer and opened up Mountune USA by himself and proceeded to grow the company very quickly. He now employs 13 people and occupy a large building with a showroom, install area, engine dyno, and warehouse space.
