Carbontech Redback Spyder – Engine Performance Parts
Anyone who’s seen the movie MAD MAX is familiar with Mel Gibson’s ford XB Falcon, with the modified Concord front end and the infamous Blower protruding through the hood. In the movie, Max goes on a vengeful rampage where he is the judge, the jury and the executioner…. I don’t think the movie leaves any doubts as to how passionate Australians are about their cars and it comes as no surprise that an Australian entrepreneur would spend four years of his full time designing, prototyping, retrofitting, and building Australia’s first supercar – suitably labeled the Redback Spyder.
The redback Spyder is based on a solid foundation of a chevrolet LS1 V8 mated to a Getrag 6 speed transmission. The car’s performance is further enhanced by a handful of carefully selected engine performance parts:
· Le Mans Style ground effects front end to increase linear flow and direct air towards the intake system.
· A carbon fiber intake system ducted to the car’s roof scoop to reach the cool high pressure air stream passing over the car at speed.
· An eaton M90 twin-scroll supercharger
· Custom 4-1 headers and true dual exhaust system starting with 2” primary tubes, into a 4-1 merge collector
· High flow cat converters
· High flow performance mufflers
The result of this combination is 460+ hp @ 6500 RPMS with a very wide power band having at least 405 ft.lbs of torque available from 1500 RPMs all the way up to 6500 RPMs. The car is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in 4.0 seconds flat and is proven to a top speed of 200mph which is amazing considering how basic an LS1 build this is.
