Blitz Lamborghini Diablo Bi-Turbo ~ 1.200 HP
Lamborghini Diablo Bi-Turbo
Supercars don't get more flamboyant than the Diablo. It's big, wide and sports a 530 HP 5.7 L V12. In fact this engine is one of the most emotional sounding V12s in existence! So it would be hard to understand why a car of this stature would not be enough to satisfy the needs of the most demanding drivers. Enter Mr. Kondou and his 1999 Lamborghini Diablo SV.
A beautiful example finished off in a fine metallic silver which is contrasted with the matte-black Neez magnesium racing wheels. You might already see a few little bits and pieces that are not standard fit, but hey this is Japan and people have always liked to personalize their cars. Step into the interior and again a there are a few little touches here and there...
You might spot the Motec dash logger which hints at a top of the line management system, understandable to want a bit more processing power in such a car.
Step around the back of the Diablo and you notice the engine cover is made of glossy carbon fiber...but wait, what is that under there?
Holy Mother of ....!!! What the hell happened here??
Yes ladies and gentleman your eyes have not failed you, this is indeed a twin-turbo-charged 5.7 L V12 Diablo SV! Feast your eyes on what is one of the most impressive engine conversions I have ever seen. Unlike bolting on ready-made, easy to fit bits & pieces like a lot of tuners do [playing Lego as I like to refer to it ] everything you see here has been designed and built for this particular car, all custom. The massive KKK K27 turbine and Blitz wastegates have found a home behind the massive V12 where they compress the air up to 1.2 Bar and feed the twin top-mounted intercoolers, again all custom built. This engine bay is something you just can't stop looking at...
This thing puts out 1,187 HP at the rear wheels and a tractor rivaling (it is a Lambo after all!) 128.8 kg/m(940.2 lb.-ft). For those of you that can't get their heads around the modern metric system that is 931 pounds for every one of those "feet" you still use
Out on the road this thing is savage. I thought highly tuned GT-Rs were fast but this thing is just ridiculous. It can pull 368 km/h (230mph) flat out and there is plenty left as it bounces off the limiter in 5th. More power is on the cards too with a slight increase of boost and a few more tweaks Mr. Kondou is shooting for 1,400 HP and 136 kg/m(992.8 lb.-ft). Crazy!

:shock: :faint:
this is just the most amazing and the nicest engine modification I have never seen !!
The quality of the work is just :shock:
But just one question comes to my mind: is there no pb to transmit this huge amount of power to the rear wheels? This was by the way the main problem that the people from Bugatti had to solve for the veyron which had only 1000Nm of torque, this one has 1300Nm !! (if I am not wrong in the metric conversion...)
But what I like is that they keep the outside looking of the car and did not add too much fancy and flashy things... a very very nice car.

I wonder what transmission they put in that thing, and how long the clutch lasts?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Anyway the Bi-Turbo Diablo got me a bit excited to say the least. Thanks for the 411 on the posting protocol around here. For the record I'm for real. I can appreciate that people dont want to have their time wasted by BS posts. Especially when you could be doing something valuable with it like STUDYING!

OMFG
That thing is absolutely beautiful!
The diablo always was my ultamite exotic car and this one is done incredibly.
I can't image what it would be like putting 1200hp down though. Especially mid-engine RWD. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I also wonder what kind of clutch is in this beast. I was pretty sure standard diablo clutches were only good for 10-15k miles as it is.
Either way, absolutely incredible - thanks for sharing!
