It says on the spec sheet 730hp. And having more than 1 turbo for every 3-4 cylinders in worthless. I can write a paragraph proving if anyone is curious y. It is actually pretty interesting. Guess this nut didnt know that.

that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen. you'd think they'd need to be tiny little turbos with light turbines to even get going...

Alright im going to put this so most people get it, instead of talking in geek. Ok so basically each cylinder (in this case) is obviously a certain size. Now as air goes into the engine through the turbo it is compressed (which is where u get the power), more turbos more compressed air right? right. But in this case he has a turbo per a cylinder meaning he has 8 intakes. This is pushing more air into each cylinder then can actually fit. So it is just being pushed off as excess air. This means that altho he has 8 turbos and 8 cylinders he is getting no more compressed air into each then he could get with 4 turbos. Which shows in the fact that it is infact making only 730hp

Accelerating a pound of wheel weight is like accelerating about 1.5lbs on your chassis. Accelerating a pound of tire weight is like accelerating 2lbs on your chassis. Accelerating a pound of flywheel weight is like accelerating as much as 30 pounds on your chassis, depending on what gear your in

I already posted on the 95mm turbo supra thread he lifted at about 1200hp because that's all the dyno would measure.

Let me guess: it's a '57 chevy called "Inciner8or" with 8 polished turbos?

anti-roll bar stiffness increases wtih the fourth power of the bar diameter (double the diameter, and the stiffness goes up 1600 percent) and decreases with the square of the arm length (make the arm half as long and the bar will be 400% stiffer). ty
