I was just recently at my uncles ( a well known mechanic and dragger) and he is putting a 1002 HP motor in his ford lightning, with two turbos. That got me thinkin' can I have a car that is super and turbo charged???? Hmmm... the possibilities....

Thanks in Advance for all your imput...

 

 

Now THAT'S serious cowbell!

 

Is that what happens when you run at 30psi?

 

Those pictures are killing me. I want one real bad, but my wallet says "you got to eat!"

 

no that is what it looks like when you break in an engine on a dyno...

 

El Diablito is your car super and turbocharged??? Twin I take if it is?? How big a turbo, would you recomend??

That pic scares me. How long did it take it to cool, and what does the "cowbell" do??

 

The Cowbell is what makes it all happen.... just go under the Need more cowbell thread and your life will suddenly be more clear....

Yes it is twincharged, the kit is from SPI. In a few months it will just be a BIG turbo. Still working on the size which will be best for the track. This turbo should be good til about 350?

 

devil:

you need to get to the track. so far, your grail has been dyno numbers so apply your enthusiasm to the drags and do some real ***-whompin'. try for a streetable 11 sec Mini. your getting close...go have some fun.

 

I am going to go to the track... both of em...

Need to get the new scoop on the front to get more air into it, putting the same one on as Hubie for now.

 

Hey Diablo,
Here are a few pics I snapped of your machine on Saturday.

 

Juan.....

you are the MAN! Damn, why do your pics always look so much better than mine? we need to get together and I will have you put together some stuff for me.

Can I use some of those pictures?

 

You asking me or Juan?
I don't care if you use them but it is up to Juan....

 

I see you joined this site in December. Welcome. Now have you looked at this site in the past 2 months at all? There have been TWO main threads on this topic for the past year. Two seperate companies have produced Twin-Charged MINIs.

 

Well both, but mostly Juan, they are his...

 

PM me about details, but yeah, I'm game.

it's normal for a turbo....and accually if you go for a motor at night...after you get to the top of the mountain...(twisties) pop your bonnet...you will have you self a little treat...not as nice as the turbo glow persay...but none the less it's still fun! Next time we do a night run I'll try to get a pick...ofcourse, I too would rather have the glow of El Diablo....

 

That is a *bad* ride. <drool puddling on my keyboard> I've already saved them and put them into the screensaver slideshow on my laptop. A couple of clients have already said, "what in the world?!?!"
