Yeah I don't know what the allure of fake SC's would be. The text says 4 are real, although it appears they all have belts to them. It still pumped out 3400hp on the dyno.

I would have placed money on his shirt getting sucked in there near the beginning of the video. 1:26 to be exact.

No it was liquidated TVR one.

what a tw*t!!!! basically all he has done is stick N2O onto a stock engine and then add a load of chrome to make it look pretty, twice a big and probably weight about 50% more than it did before! what a total kn0bhead!

He would have been much better off sticking 4 106mm turbos on there feeding though intercoolers and then into the 4 superchargers. this would probably have made even more power and not needed to gas! in fact from the looks of it turbocharges where emplyed on the smaller engines. also dont forget that as its a 2stroke you are getting exhasut pulses every 360 degrees! thats great for turbocharging. the RR Crecy would recover over 1000bhp just from the wested energy in the exhaust (27ltr 2 stronke V12).

andway for anyone intrested in the actually engine he is using (sounds pretty intresting) then here is the Wiki link

Yikes. What's the point?

[mohrt]

I guess they are more interested in looking impressive than being impressive?

there is a pic of the engine running quad turbos. that wouod deff seem like the best way to make big power with a deisel. How ever the superchargers are just pointless!
