PAUL T Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I was surfing the web on the Tucker automobile and found this interisting article. http://www.caraudiomag.com/features/0610_c...ucker_48_sedan/ What do you think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 It looks like he has a lot invested. I'd like to see better photos of the engine setup. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Interesting car. The final piece arrives as a 4.6-liter Cadillac Northstar engine trimmed with dual Garrett T28 turbos and twin intercoolers, controlled by a Detail Zone standalone harness and Perfect Power SMT6 unit for tuning the big eight-cylinder. With dual spools in constant thirst, a 31-gallon Rock Valley fuel tank holds plenty of juice. Ida says the New Tucker 48 makes 398hp at a low 3.5-pound boost. “This car won’t do a burnout. With the engine over the rear axle, traction is incredible. No matter what you do, it just plants the wheels and goes.” Twin turbochargers on a northstar and he got 398hp? Of course 3.5 psi is low boost for a turbo. Nicely done car, but not something you would want to drive to work every day.

PAUL T Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I found better pictures of the Northstar installation here: http://www.robidaconcepts.com/page/page/2135517.htm Enjoy the read and pictures. I noticed he painted the beauty and head covers to the same color as the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 VERY interesting, but it is hard to recognized the Northstar in there. There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
