FlyingFinn Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Cool picture but I call it fake. The plumbing doesn't make much sense. Intercooler in the cabin??? Twin turbos driven by exhaust of only one side of a V8??? -- Mikko Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Likely the exhaust crosses over behind and under the engine. It appears to be a drag car or, more likely, some form of Bonneville or Dry Lakes car. Plenty of room in the firewall area for a water to air aftercooler. I wonder about getting the thing to fuel well though. Appears to only have a single row of injectors per bank unless there are showerheads in the intake plumbing. Link to comment

ShovelStrokeEd Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Single turbo version based on only one hole in the grill. Pretty stout car at 6.72/215. Link to comment
VinnyR11 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Just looking at stuff like that makes you smile. Excellent argument for the "more is better" crowd. I don't think he bought the plumbing at AutoBarn. Pretty impressive 1/8 mile times. Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 sO hOW "large" will the nose piece be on that hog of a front end?? Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh well, it's not the first , or last, time that I'm proven wrong. "Pretty stout" is good description. Those turbos remind me of this from my home university. Kind of same technology but different application... :-) -- Mikko Link to comment

Fugu Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Pappas has been at it a while if I recall correctly. Very cool. Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 HMMMM A jet powered bicycle, the rest of that video should be fun! The most impressive aspect of that drive method was the noise it produced not so much the speed or acceleration. Full story in here. Link to comment
