if you haven't seen this before, your not a realy enthusiast, lol
look, no gaskets!!

with special pistons

moderately sized aftercooler

a nice fashioned inlet

only if they made a saddle for engines

results:

rpm hp ft. lb.tq psi.
5,500 1,168 1,115 24
6,000 1,364 1,194 24
6,500 1,554 1,256 24
7,000 1,731 1,299 24
7,500 1,926 1,349 25
8,000 2,002 1,313 25
8,500 2,083 1,287 25
9,000 2,139 1,248 25
9,500 2,105 1,164 25

the turbos run more than 25 psi. lol the exhuast side of the turbo housing was too large and they couldn't make the run of 35 psi as they were hoping, with 35 psi, 2,800 hp is expected

this is a quad turbo 442 cu.in. big block, made in the U.S.A.
GOD BLESS AMERICA :shock:

OMG, thats the most amazing V8 i have ever seen! Who made it and why does the exhaust housing of the turbo's size have to do with psi. I dont know much about turbos.

hahaha, I was just thinking of a 2000hp engine earlier, and how awesome it would be to put it into a stock appearing camaro... imagine having that on the highway! Lite em up from a 70mph roll!

DeMoN · 03-20-2004, 11:33 PM

damn that is a whole lot of power. I suppose some vid will be available of this thing moving everywhere huh? Lets see if everything else is powerful enough to handle such power.

hemi_fan · 03-20-2004, 11:38 PM

My question is how is the reliability on this thing? I remember when JC drove that 1000hp+ Skyline in one of his vids, and he said the owner never had anything break on it. I was thinking about how much power a de-tuned top-fuel dragster engine would make... If u dropped it from 8000hp to only 2000hp, would you be able to make it reliable? Because a reliable 2000hp engine would be quite fun.

mit5005 · 03-20-2004, 11:46 PM

The fact is that any car with hp figures in the 2,000 area probably still wouldnt be reliable for street driving. First of all the gas consumption would still be crazy, and it would probably not even be street legal. Im all for big hp, but i doubt you can get something that powerful as a daily driver. It would be fun though. My mustang with 630 hp is good times.

gtx28 · 03-21-2004, 01:03 AM

I think a better question to ask is how many people could handle a 1000 hp car as a daily driver let alone a 2000hp car. Not many people could handle that kind of car, unless you could detune the car on the fly for bad road conditions. The idea of a car like that is not practical. Most people cant handle a 300hp car let alone something that powerfull. Lol looking back at those pistons i would think they were trying to increase the compression ratio. Man that is alot of power though, looks like a really nice motor, i bet they have over 2k in studs for that motor alone lol. Anyhow looking forward to seeing more pics of this motor, and the car its in.

number77 · 03-21-2004, 07:57 PM

i don't have enough time right now, but when i can i'll get more pics up. its not a street car, lol, its a drag car. this year they did ok, but they are going to try to break some records and make it the first (in its class) in the 5's (second 1/4mile). the piston on the left is similar to what they are using. the one on the right would bump the compression up a bit, but domed pistons aren't really good to use. their shape doesn't allowed the formation of the flame to form properly. the piston on the left also has a design for quench. the one on the left has a design that actually allows the gas/fuel ratio to mix better.
dished pistons are better to use as far as flame shape. when the fuel enters the cylinder and spark it forms very similar to a ball of fire. with the ball forming from the spark plug outwards. this is what makes hemispherical heads work better than the typical. the name HEMI is derrived from (hemi-spherical) which is the shape of the head forming a hemisphere, half of a sphere shaped.

another unique thing about the engine is it doesn't use gaskets. they machined the block and other parts to fit o-rings. really advanced stuff if you care to read more about this car here is a story on it.

DR.GONZO · 03-21-2004, 09:34 PM

yea i remember seeing that!

mit5005 · 03-21-2004, 11:14 PM

I dont see how an engine cannot have gaskets. That thing is amazing. Is that website sayin that it is street legal?

Tomerville · 03-22-2004, 08:12 AM

Geez, thats crazy! Imagine how much that would cost?

nthfinity · 03-23-2004, 03:48 PM

keep in mind, top fuel dragsters have an engine life expectancy of about 1400 rpms, and usually only need about 900 to get the job done.
ive read that they run on the verge of hydrolic lock the entire way down the track, consume almost a galon before taking off, and diesle more then half the way due to extream compression/heat issiues.
at extreams, the cars pull about 9g's off initial take off, and a sustained 6-7 g's the rest of the trip

as long as you are quick to the tree, then your set

american cars are only fast when they go striaght

PUt them on a track with turns in different directions.
then you have a big slow american car

It's cool though thats a lot of horse power and you have to respect HP
no matter what kind of car makes it

LOL - here we go again.

I will meet you on a road course... and bring my "big slow american car" that "can't turn in different directions..
