Thought I'd share this video I stumbled across as I know a lot of you are fond of the TSS so thought it might be of interest.

Opinions? Personally, I still can't get over the fact they're pushing over 800hp on an FA20 😅

Although possibly a FB25....

There were SR20DET builds of 800-1K hp. I see nothing impossible in linked build, as:

1) you understand that it's race build that is not built to last? They can afford to change engine after race or two. Is such mileage acceptable for generic Joe that probably wants car/engine to last at least 10-50K miles?

2) in video description they list among specs of this build very important bit that adresses big deficiency of FA20 - dry sump. There, now you have reliable oiling for high rpm, high boost (and high G-s from high grip of slicks & heavy aero), and probably much higher redline then in medium power "generic/common" forced induction builds.

With unlimited budget I'm sure nothing is impossible. Most competitive teams will do an engine refresh after each round from national level upwards. However that doesn't make it any less impressive in my eyes

Strap on big turbo to overboosted, unreliable and not lasting level impresses me way less then this 11.6K rpm redline 356hp -NA- engine build from land down under had .
