Lead Up to Summernats - MRPSI / BLO402 / TRYHRD

[HP-F]

Will keep this thread updated with pics of the final parts of the build leading up to Summernats.

Will be mostly MRPSI and BLO402 at first, it should be noted that we are only building the motor and tuning TRYHRD.

God damn....Horn...lost for words!!

Nearly looks like you had to chop the guards to get the TT combo in....

RESPECT!! :bow::bow::bow:

[RATTLER]

Tell me something please.............are these cars engineered and TAC approved? If they get pulled over by the Police do they have a certificate of compliance that they are fully road legal?

I really can't see MRPSI being legal :confused:

Am about to have mine fully engineered so I will be able to drive on the roads legally :)

Awesome cars by the way!!

By the looks of these guys' cars, I dont think their intention is to drive to Coles everyday. Their goal is to win Horsepower Heroes. You dont build a 2000hp atw setup, and expect to retain legality.


Good luck at the Nats guys. Cant wait to see them both on the rollers.

[Grommz]

blo-042 is just simply awesome got to see it on the rollers at the SC dyno day about 3-4 months back..

[MADLS1]

WOW!! great work guys :)

[hsv-105]

Good work Rob and good luck at the Summernats.

Great to see you sharing what's happening in the shop as it happens.

I enjoyed they show you guys were in on Channel 31 ? a month or 2 ago as it was a great insight to what you guys are all about.

Cheers Mark

Scotty,

Haven't you started enough threads about your car already without trying to turn this into another.
FFS you don't have to be Einstien to realise these cars are not built as daily drivers nor would they be "exactly" road legal.
Make sure you post up your engineering certificate for all to see once you have it - with the NOS,Methanol Injection and 3.3 Whipple.

Mark,

I didnt mean to upset you mate! Oh, hang on... FFS I didnt mean to hit a nerve, lmao! It was a legitemate question as I know the authorities are alot harder on cars down there than they are up here!

Daily driver or not and whether you're Einstein or not, you wouldn't spend a sh!t load of money on a car for it to be defected the 1st time a Police Officer pulls you over.... would you?

I'll be sure to post up my engineering report once she's back from SummerNats! :)

HPF - Awesome cars guys and I look forward to catching up with you and the cars in Canberra!

Regards,

Scotty

P.S. Sorry about the "hijack" :confused:

I'll try and get daily updates of progress on these cars, in fact will go out and check right now!

Thanks for your comments on Gasolene. We are signed up for next year and should be appearing in every episode, will post more info as I get it!

[badnews]

it should be noted that we are only building the motor and tuning TRYHRD.

what else is there to do lol? will be crazy to see these 3 cars at the nats, you must be pretty proud.

by the way i like how you park mrpsi next to blo 402. keep all that horsepower in one place hahaha.

[HP-F]

Update: BLO402 is running, MRPSI running in a matter of hours....

Pics soon (camera battery flat...)

[Phonsy@GM Motorsport]

Good work guys!
All the best for the Summernats.

Cheers Phonsy

[S2VYSS]

Is that an LSX in BLO 402?

[HP-F]

Good work guys!
All the best for the Summernats.

Cheers Phonsy

Thanks very much!


Is that an LSX in BLO 402?

Sure is, and MRPSI has a small block chev.

[S2VYSS]

Thanks very much!



Sure is, and MRPSI has a small block chev.

How many cubes is the LSX?

[ASSASIN]

If you dont mind me asking what heads are you using on BLO402

[HP-F]

How many cubes is the LSX?

402ci for BLO402 (LSX)
416ci for MRPSI

[S2VYSS]

402ci for BLO402 (LSX)
416ci for MRPSI

Can I ask why you guys didnt take it out to 500ci?

And why are you guys not using a LS series engine in MRPSI?

If these are rude questions, you dont have to answer them

[HP-F]

If you dont mind me asking what heads are you using on BLO402

Can't go into too much detail, but they are Higgins race heads.


Can I ask why you guys didnt take it out to 500ci?

And why are you guys not using a LS series engine in MRPSI?

If these are rude questions, you dont have to answer them

Two main reasons for not going bigger than 402ci, firstly, there isnt much power advantage as we are really limited to the flow of the turbo. Also block integrity and strength can be lessened when bored.

The SBC in MRPSI is for a couple of reasons, firstly its a proven base, better availability of extreme parts, and better head stud design. A high priority for the customer was a well proven package, it was felt that at the desired power levels there was less experience in the industry with LS engines.

[Luke_]

Looking good fellas, nice cars to be taking up the hoists there!


Regards,
Luke

[Mungrel]

3 Awesome machines in the one stable.
Very nice.
Can't wait to see how MRPSI turns out :D

[vscorsa]

Great looking setups!!!

Have you gone with curved shapes on the plenum for MRPSI to stop flexing?

Cheers

Dave

[Martin_D]

Good work Rob, Ian & Co. You guys should walk it in...... :cool:

Thanks for the answer mate

What power figures is each car looking at? Or is that a secret till summernats?

[VILLAIN]

Good luck guys, wish i could be there but need to earn more money, the clubby is just not quick enough yet.

[Wayne@GM Motorsport]

Looking crazy guys....

Less than 2 weeks to go, I can see some midnight oil being burnt...

Will see you guys up there.....

I see some of the Horsepower Heros rules have changed to, no idea which ones though..

Looks like a lot of late nights work, Blood, Sweat & hopefully beers when its done..
Good Luck

[vyssls1]

Top work Rob, and all the crew.

I hope all cars produce great results on the day, and there is no mechanical breakages.:)

[NefariousLS1]

Not hard to see where the fron bar meeths the cooler on BLO lol Nuts looking toys ur building there boys all the best hopefully i will get down to see them at the nats

[Sonny@Autowerks]

Nice work horsepower factory & Co !!! look forward to seeing these cars kick arse ! Gary's VX is always looking smick as usual :),by the way where is gary these days ?

:)

regards sonny

[HP-F]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Just a quick update, BLO402 has been run up on the dyno to check the tune and all looks good, no power runs just yet.

MRPSI runs, just some final pipework and it will be on the rollers getting a tune. Thats being done this weekend.

Will have more info by the end of the weekend.

[KAL SPL]

Pics and details are muchly appreciated , especially for those that cant make it over there :(

[VX SS]

If you dont mind me asking what heads are you using on BLO402
ALL PRO 6 bolt LSW heads prepped by Nathan Higgins they must work ok the numbers are not to bad

1390 rwhp @ 27 psi we might lean on it on monday at 40 psi or maybe just pack and wrap for summernats

[RedVYIISS]

Awesome!!!

Good luck!

Wow! Cant wait to see what 40psi does!

I'm guessing thats through a manual

[HP-F]

Both cars getting plenty of dyno time and both going strong. More tuning later in the week.

As Gary mentioned earlier, BLO402 is comfortably running over 1300 rwhp, MRPSI on its 5th run cracked 1300 also. Early days yet.

[ultrablue]

ive been watching your build up of theses cars on casolene does the owner pay for all the trial and error

[wetpatch]

Good to see someone who isn't scared to let people know what they have got for Summer Nats. Great pics and video. Goodluck but i don't think you will need it.

[SSidewayz]

Man that ute looks so menacing. Ill be keen to see what figures the beasts put out when squeezed at Summernats.

[hsv-105]

ive been watching your build up of theses cars on casolene does the owner pay for all the trial and error

I'd reckon given that HPF and the owners of the cars both share the passion to push the boundaries and none of them would be in it for any sort of financial gain.

You must remember that Rob Vickery himself won Horsepower Hero's with the help of Ian back before the days of HPF.

Having seen the hours these guys put in to getting these things across the line I would doubt they do it for the hourly rate.

Real enthusiasts running a business,pushing the boundaries and sharing the passion.

Some talk it up, some promise the world ,some just post pics but I reckon these guys will deliver the goods again.

Good luck fella's.

It is great to see just how much work, and the insane hours, it takes to built the quality of the engines we see on here.

Well done Gaz and I hope you pull the highest hp at summernat. Nobody deserves it more than you and Rob and the hpf team.

I dont think i will be at the Nat's this year, but if i am, will drop in to say hello:)

[S2VYSS]

How is the tuning going?

[HazzaHSV]

Wow. These cars are insane!! Its a real credit to you guys and your customers. Bloody good work. See ya at the Nats!!

[HP-F]

Was just a tyre letting go, all good again now.

[wagnman]

Holy crap mate!

I bet that woke everyone up quick smart.

I hope no one was in the way of the debris.

I guess thats why alot of tuning shops are steering away from letting people watch their cars being tuned from inside the dyno room. Imagine even just a wheel balancing weight flying off at those speeds!

[RhysB]

and the cameraman has skidmarks :lmao:

Back on topic........

Not too much to update, BLO402 and MRPSI are both almost ready to head up to Canberra, can't give too much away but both are over 1300rwhp comfortably.

TRYHRD will be arriving any minute for tuning.

Shirts featuring BLO402 and MRPSI will be available at the Nats. Back/Front as below.

Looks good, will be and interesting comp this year!

[Smikvyss]

That looks mad cant wait to see it in the horsepower heros at the nats :bow:

[badnews]

rolled up for scrutineering today and what just happens to be in front of me?? MRPSI, good start to the weekend :) looks tough as with the billets and the turbos out the bonnet

[vxleather]

Led to believe that BLO402 just rolled 1400 + off on the Dyno at the nats a couple of minutes ago......................................should get the vid sent to me in a minute or 2

Correction 1529 hp just got the txt

Fcuk me, thats enough to give a jellyfish a fat!!!!!~!:bow::bow:

MRPSI looks like the devil incarnate with its red eyes and a horn poking out the bonnet..:vpo:

[KAL SPL]

1500+ is awsome !!!
Any updates on the other 2 ??

[HazzaHSV]

Yep what an awesome 1529. The HPF boys were jumping for joy when it broke the 1500 mark, and rightly so. Huge effort. I've got video so should be able to post it up tomorrow night.

I don't believe MR PSI hit the rollers today (I was there most of the day). So at a guess will probably run tomorrow in the first session.

[VTVXCUBBY]

yeh i believe 11.30 it hits the rollers the word is he can beat BLO 402.
lets hope he smashes it.

[SLE355]

Any news on how they went today?

[highlander_69r]

theres a few pics goin around stating blo402 1529rwhp and tryhrd went 1571rwhp.Theres also mention of a 1700rwhp run. No pics of that but

its on the SC forum

Not Eddy again is it :rofl:

[RedVYIISS]

Haven't made a post in quite some time.. but now's the time... awesome job HPF. I'd like to say sorry to Gary, but I don't know him (only got good advice and pleasant, honest rersponsers by email).

HPF, 3 cars over 1500 Hp.... simply awesome!

[pillow]

sms rec

"1940hp 700cube wb ute"

700 cubes? lol it's a twin turbo 572

[stoney]

congratulations Rob, Gary, Craig and Lyall.. along with marty and all the others at HPF. 3 cars all running 1500rwhp is amazing.

[vscorsa]

From the above numbers (post #93), does that mean Tryhrd won this year?

[stoney]

yes, tryhrd was the winner

[pillow]

Was it determined by the average of your runs, or simply highest hp with a minimum of 2 runs? Just wondering if Gus had done a shakedown run of 1100-1200 would he have won? Doesn't really matter, he still set a new record for the nats:D

[vscorsa]

yes, tryhrd was the winner



Nice one, I wonder how his hangover is today....

[Funky_Munky]

Hey guys. First of all, congratulation on the figures. That is a massive effort that was very well rewarded.

I have a [noob] question to ask, and this is in no way a sh*t stir (if anyone happens to intepret that way). I was just wondering with the massive numbers the cars are running, do the numbers translate into quick times on the quarter mile or are these just purpose built high horse power cars.

Cheers.

[pillow]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought TRYHRD went to the track and could only manage an 11sec pass? I don't remember seeing BLO402 going down the track other than when it had a bolt on motor in running 11s. The owner of MR PSI is the bloke who owned the silver vx that was twin turboed running 9s if I recall correctly

the cars would need tyres the size of a door slammer to get all the power to the ground, the cars are built for the dyno, but as Pillow mentioned Lyals other car has run 9's before.

Ahhhhh ok.

So MRPSI has another car that runs 9's? Holy sh*t, these guys must spend a fair bit on these beasts. Excellent to see that their hard earned money is yielding great results.

Thanks mate.

I LUV THIS THREAD:love2:

[badnews]

so the same guy owns ttls1 and mrpsi??? not a bad garage there...

[nibbsy]

hi,
heard that there is like a reality TV show showing the build of this vehicle with the summernats dyno the pinacle point of what this vehicle is capable of.

does anyone know if this is available online and what the correct web address for it would be??

i actually saw the dyno for this vehicle and quite thoroughly inspected it at summernats 21..extreamly impressive!!!

thanks

[VILLAIN]

The show is called Gasolene on channel 31, and is a top show with a great looking host.
It's on Saturday night and Tuesday night

[Wayne b]

Does anybody know if TRYHRD is booked for any events in qld my boss just said he has seen it getting towed past Sunshine Coast monday morn ????

Hey Guys!

Needless to say we are wrapped with the results:

Top 4 cars qualified in forced induction small block:
MRPSI (Fully built by HPF)
TRYHRD (Motor built and tuned by HPF)
BLO402 (Fully built by HPF)
MRHDT (Tuning by HPF)

All 3 cars in forced induction small block finals:
TRYHRD 1895.7 rwhp
MRPSI 1713 rwhp
BLO402 1493 rwhp (ran a 1529 in qualifying)

And of course, Outright Horsepower Hero with an amazing 1895.7 rwhp from Craigs TRYHRD/HPHERO.

And to top it all off, the only failure of the weekend was the turbo on BLO402 which was outside of our control. All cars were driven onto the trailers, and MRPSI even ended the event with a lap around EPIC.

A full review from HPF, including specs and videos will be posted soon but for now here are some pics of the three cars:

Well done on your efforts guys.
Looking at all the custom work on these cars tells me there was lots of hours working and not much sleeping.
Looks like it was worth it.

Cheers Phonsy
