Scottie-GNZ Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 They have to be making at least 2000hp to be competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 That turbo is friggin' huge man! You have to be careful with that thing or you'll suck in a squirell from 10 feet away goin down the track! I aint as much of a ford guy as I was as a youngin', but that thing on my tractor would be some mean competition at the pullin races! Well then, now that my keyboard has shorted out, off to work....

QWKDTSN Posted December 17, 2001 Author Share Posted December 17, 2001 It's at least 2000 HP, I'm sure.. Somehow a turbo that size doesn't seem feasible to me.. Just look at the size of the exhaust downpipe, it's like 6" or so. How can you get enough exhaust velocity to spool a turbo that size up and make enough power? Sure, flow is good, but don't turbos rely on the venturi effect to get the gases sped up and into the turbine? I was thinking about this a bit last night. What do you guys think?

fl327 Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 i dont know about that one, but i know that people use nitrous to cool the charge in big timer apps like one above, some of the gnx's do that one, oh boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted December 18, 2001 Author Share Posted December 18, 2001 I dropped by Schneider Racing Cams today just as they were closing and was flipping through one of the magazines. I stumbled across an article on this car. Unfortunately, they were just closing, so I didn't really get to read it or check out the specs. Awesome car tho. If I can I'll borrow that issue for a day.
