Turbo Video

[RHanselman]

I went out to record some video of the sound the turbo exhaust makes and I ended up capturing video of the turbo's spinning... Kind of cool...

I saw that earlier-pretty cool. I would also like very much if you get the chance to mount the camera somewhere and run through a couple of gear while accelerating onto the freeway so as to hear what an LT5 under boost sounds like.

I also think I need one from a chase car. I've been told she sounds pretty awesome getting on the highway from behind...

I've got to master this in the car video thing... I guess I have an excuse to buy another toy...:dancing

Chris,

It was great to meet you and your better half... You are welcome anytime...

Maybe I'll have some tires that will stick next time... :-D

Man that sounds sweet!:cool: Nice vid work Ron!:thumbsup:


It's sort of strange to hear the turbo whistle coming from a ZR-1. I'll bet that car leaves a lot of people scratching their heads!:sign10:

:cheers:

How much power with the rear mount turbos? Was it a tough install? Is there a thread I missed about it?

[RHanselman]

It's been on the car for several years. I did a tread on the engine build. It's a 9:1 374 CID putting around 620 rwhp / 575 rwtq @ 8-10 psi. Don't quote me on that but it's close + or -

[RHanselman]

I think the stock block put down 480/460 @ 4 psi.

Real nice.......Gotta get me some of that :cheers:

The engine was prepped for 15 psi... I might try that after some computer mods...

Is the system intercooled ? Methanol injected ?

Is the system intercooled ? Methanol injected ?

It has an IC but not the meth. I plan on adding meth with the new computer along with boost control. The meth will be added for safety not for power, i.e. the engine will be tuned without it and then Meth/water inj added to deter det... Right now I'm in the middle of all the research... Lots of cool reading...
