  • YB Cosworth engines are legendary in the performance world from the Ford RS Sierra etc and touring car days, but in a Nissan S15 drag car, they're pretty much unheard of.
    In this interview, Fred Karam of Team Karam Racing runs us through why the owner of this S15 drag car decided to move away from the Nissan SR20 powerplant and towards a 1000whp YB Cosworth build instead.
    At the time of filming the car was running 8-second passes at around 1000whp and 47psi of boost from a 7675 Precision Turbo with the team gunning for consistent 7.7-second at the 1200HP power level in the future. Andre and Fred also discuss some of the head sealing techniques and YB Cosworth block options.

      But R&D by the consumers/engine builders was not instant. It’s taken a while to get from the 5/600hp of the late 80’s Touring car engineers to 1200hp these days.

    This is an original pinto iron block as stated. I think that is a lot of reliability relative to the later model aluminium modern engines. the stud changes are pretty impressive as well. Very cool to see these 'retro' engines still pulling their weight with modern injection and turbos bolted on.
    I'd like to build up a BDA engine one day, but it'll be tough to get by the girlfriend!

    I flippin love YBs. I know the SR20 is the fanboy engine of the universe, but YB is another level vs the normal DET versions.
    VET is an amazing head, but YBs seem to take more of a long term beating for track and rally use than SR blocks.

    • @Realtime1501
      @Realtime1501 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      2 of the top 10 fastest 4 cylinder drag passes of all time are Sr20 ,Yb's are on a level below yes

    • @StavTech
      @StavTech 3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      @@Realtime1501 because nobody uses YBs for drag engines normally. They’re legendary/successful rally and circuit race engines, unlike SR20s.
      By your ‘logic’ the best 4cyl on the planet are GM ones, the Ecotec and the XE, as that’s the fastest two drag 4cyls.
      And I doubt anyone would agree with that either...
