Discuss amongst yourselves

why so many haters in those comments
I think they are just jealous

sweet vid man

[NuclearBacon]

wow, that is pretty sweet... i wonder how it would have done minus the bag of ice... minus the "water spray"...

....799.9996 hp? hehe. cool vid

#1: I wonder how much $$,$$$ went into that motor.

#2: I wonder how long it will last at that power level.

#3: I want...

#4: Some of those comments made sense. By ice bagging it and spraying water, those numbers mean nothing except that the car is a dyno queen. Daily Drivers FTW!!!

1) a guess? 10k. between engine work, that massive turbo kit, computers, trans/diff work, brakeing upgrades . . . at retail prices of course.

2) about 3 seconds longer than it took to do that 800hp pull

3) cut the h/p in HALF so that the car is reliable, and i'll take two!!

4) depends on the computer programming they have, they probably have a "dyno pull" setting, a "1/4 mile" setting, and a DD (read: WAY de-tuned) setting. water sprayers are easy enough to install, just in front of the intercooler to achieve a similar effect for the real world . . .

p.s. good to see they were using proper hearing protection :p

#1: Alot.

#2: Depends on how much money went into it. If it is full of top notch parts, that motor will last well. If it is just an attempt by an engine shop to put up some numbers, that probably won't last at all. If it was built by an idiot, that just boosted the HE*L out of stock parts; it's already gone.

As far as ice bagging, and spraying; I have two vehicles with ice boxes, and I've used the upside down bottle trick on countless intercoolers. Both my ice box rigs are driven regularly, anybody with an icebox knows that is what is great about them. When you aren't using them, they don't do anything but add about 3 pounds to the vehicle. Ice bagging, and intercooler misting are real world tricks that are incredibly simple, and produce real HP numbers in every situation. It is not a case of being a dyno queen, it is an intelligent, cheap way to squeeze every last horse out of what you have. Ice boxes have been around before you, and I. Take a look at some old Wendover footage, and you will see refrigerated ice trucks in the background for filling the land speed cars before their runs.

Does that mean that bottle heaters are for dyno queens too, or just for someone with an understanding of science, and a desire to go slightly faster?

Sick . but unrealitic , Unless you got money coming out of you'r ears .

I dunno I have heard of quite a few builds where an STI is putting out insane amounts of power. As long as it's done right it will last. But you can't just throw a bunch of bolt ons and computer programs at it and expect it to last. But it is getting cheaper all the time to build these things into monsters! I'm not saying its really cheap, I'm just saying it's getting cheaper.

200hp/cylinder....sick...I need to go to the bathroom.

[subiemech85]

just another bogus "look at me" dyno run, such bogus crap

load it on a water brake for long time loading down until it can't hold any more and dies is believable, not this crap they think is cool



I would rather have 100 HP per cylinder reliably, with max. continuous rated power of 750 hp

something you can leave on the dyno for hours on end and still chrun out the power reliably is the way to go
