V10 is a real possibility. We just want to get the first couple v8’s done first so we can give them our full attention. After a long wait the clutch should finally be with us on Tuesday so we can actually get back on the dyno with full load.
More updates to come in the next couple weeks as the car is going back together with lots and lots of logging equipment attached so we can optimise the cooling and boost system.
The clutch is in but we have to but 800 miles on it according to the manufacturer before we can lean on it. At this time we have around 400, its difficult with all these weather changes, its quite a lively car
Pretty awesome project guys. Keep it up!
A couple of the other companies are making r8 kits right now too. It will be interesting to see how the twinfuge does.
It sounds like this project could be quite mindbending… keep us posted, very exciting stuff.
Couple photos from the dyno yesterday. Don’t think they need much explaining

Love the flames!
Pretty steady power climb.
Presume a trip to Santa Pod in the works once the tuning is all sorted?
That’s not power, that’s torque… And that’s insane.
If that’s 900 newton meters at 7500 rpm that’s 660 ft lbs of torque and 940 hp
Not sure why it’s showing so differently on the right.
Unless that is something else and there are two scales.
No saki its 712 ps & 687nm lol. I think that’s quite enough for the v8. This is running a very restricted 14psi. Kit can do 21-22psi derestricted but the engine would never take it in standard form.
Unfortunately there will be no santapodcwith this car as we loose it back to its polish owner in 2 days wish we had more time but customer needs the car back as they have lots more other jobs to on it.
Is the r8 fuelling much different to rs4? Upgraded pumps? Stock injectors?
It’s mostly the Same fuel system. Runs our high pressure pumps but stock injectors and low presure system. Low pressure system copes a little better than the rs4 probably just due to shorter fuel line runs etc.
nice little video done by the polish company that supplied us with the R8 for development
