Video: Twin-Turbo Mustang GT puts down 1,266 rwhp on the dyno

Page #1

Tuners are still exploring the limits of the horsepower potential of the Mustang’s Coyote 5.0L V8, perhaps none more so than Jon Lund, Jake Long and Ken Bjonnes of Power by the Hour. The threesome have been developing and testing their twin-turbo system for the current Mustang for a little over a year now, and during that time they’ve proven the car’s performance merits with a 9-second quarter mile pass and doing the standing mile at over 200 mph.

Despite their impressive achievements, the trio isn’t quite satisfied and have recently added even more power while experimenting with a prototype of an upcoming high performance Coyote engine block from Ford Racing. The result is an astounding 1,266 horsepower and 1,058 lb-ft torque at the rear wheels, which the company says is the highest output of any street-driven Coyote-powered Mustang.

Flying car concept from Volkswagen

No matter how much we advance in technology, lengthening lifespans, creating artificial organs, and plastering touchscreens of all sizes on absolutely everything, it won’t feel quite like the “future” until we can fly to work. That most basic element in depictions of the future, the flying car, has been absent from reality, somehow leaving us unconvinced of how far we’ve come.From Volkswagen, and a young gaming design student from Chengdu city, we get a flying car concept that fits not only our own desires for futurism, but also the closest idea yet to something that will effectively introduce flight into our daily routines.

The car basically has a spherical shape with space for two people inside. It has no wheel and floats a few inches above the ground. The image of the car floating in the middle of the street, when other autos are running on the road, is absolutely amazing. Circular glass discs have been fitted on the two ends of the car and an elongated glass panel has been fixed at the front. The glass and metal bubble looks utterly stupendous.The Volkswagen Hover Car is a pod-like zero-emissions vehicle that uses electromagnetic road networks to float above the road. The small Volkswagen has two seats and a joystick and, to demonstrate how the car would work, a Chinese couple appears to put the flying car to the test around the bustling streets of Chengdu. The two seem reluctant to climb aboard at first, but once they lift-off, they seem to enjoy all the attention the pod car gets.

World’s smallest Chevrolet 327 V8 engine

When this Chevy V8 engine was introduced back in 1962 it was the most powerful production small-block V8 untill LS6 came in 2001. 327 cubic engine was single-cam, natural aspirated. One of the petrolheads, Jim Moyer, expressed his respect to this engine by building its miniature — the 1/6th scale model that actually works. Jim spend a l

 

ot of time fabricating all the parts — block, head, crank, pistons, cam and others. The mini engine has spark ignition, oil system that are exactly like the ones from 327 muscle.

Even though it works quite well, this Chevrolet V8 mini engine still need improvements in order to run it longer: water-pump, carburetor, valve caps.

Electric hot tub boat

There’s nothing quite like unwinding in a hot jacuzzi after a long day at the office, so imagine just how much greater that experience would be while cruising down a scenic lake?

Cap Zappa – Bottle Opener & Cap Launcher

An Exploration of Cap Zappa Onomatopoeia. Pop! Click. Whoosh! Clink! Ahhh.

It’s the bottle opener that, after faithfully completing its beer-cracking duties, loads the removed cap in a firing chamber and readies it to transition from carbonation keeper to deadly projectile. Well, maybe “irksome” is a better descriptor than “deadly”. It doesn’t sound quite as cool, but in a way makes the Cap Zappa more fun because, unlike deadly, irksome typically does not lead to life in prison. Also, it will be a nifty exercise in anger-reduction and wordplay to be able to literally pop a cap in my ex’s new boyfriend’s ass.

Launcher trajectory, controlled by a spring-loaded sliding arm, can reach over 16 feet. About the same distance I can vomit after a 12-pack of imported German beer.

The Nehmesis gold plated chopper will blow your mind!

I’ve seen quite a lot of jaw dropping choppers ’til today but this one totally blows everything else out of the water. A true mechanic and artistic masterpiece, the Nehmesis (or Nehme-sis), is an amazing gold plated chopper built by the guys at BMS Choppers. No chopper has received such a luxurious treatment before and this one has already won several awards for its stunning design.

Measuring 3.5 meters in length, it has an estimated worth of $300,000 after it was fully gold plated in 24 carat gold. This chopper’s seat has been crafted out of red velvet which makes it both stylish and comfortable. The bike was built back in 2006 and since then it toured many parts of the US, making an impression everywhere it was showcased.

Next year the Nehmesis will go all the way to the other corner of the world to be displayed at the 2013 CRC Speedshow in New Zealand.
