Tour of Ford’s EcoBoost V6 at SVT

Jalopnik has a good article written by engine geek Ben Wojdyla talking about the finer details of Ford’s EcoBoost V6. He talks about the advantages of the direct injection and the new exhaust manifold. All these details are very exciting since this engine setup will deliver 340 horsepower and 340 lb-ft torque out of a 3.5L V6 platform. I have high expectations for these engines.

Twin Engine Dodge Minivan with Helicopter Turboshaft

I doubt you can fit many groceries in the back of this Caravan anymore or at least any you don’t want shredded and toasted. Looking at this video one might think the propulsion is from the exhaust but this is a shaft driven turbine. So all the power is actually being driven to the wheels. [...]

Twin Engine Delorean

While wasting some time the other day on flickr I came across a few pictures of a Delorean show. In those there is a picture which really caught my attention. It seems a very resourceful builder created a twin engine Delorean. The flickr photographer says the front engine is a Honda four bangger and the [...]

Twins Turbo S2000 Update

Twins Turbo updated Supra Forums on their progress. Eric also pointed out this car should not be considered a swap. I resent our work being labeled as a “swap” we are not swapping anything in, we are not using any factory mounts, there will be no way for anyone to do what we are doing without [...]
