That is seriously

Might be a bit tricky to drive though... I imagine that to get from 14k-42k takes quite a while to wind up or down... Although it will give 260 bhp (Probably at 42k!) it'll take ages to wind up and down between shifting

here is a movie of it.

it runs on diesel haha, nice.

yea..only 260HP but you get that in any gear any time...i'm quite sure that if you are say in third and the gearbox is maxed out in third...when you change to fourth you've got instant 260HP from the start of the revrange of the gearbox till the end...wich i belive is..fast !

Holy crap. Why oh why oh why? You'd have to wear tarmac headphones to drive that thing!

Too bad the video doesn't show the 20' flame.

thing sounds like it wouldn't meet max DB limits at most race tracks, which is pretty loud.
those turbines wil run on anything; deisel, gas, E85, vegtable oil or vodka from the grocery store ect.
its an automatic trans.

The way I understand it, the faster an engine spins, the more power it makes? I doubt that turbine makes only 260hp. I suspect you can't spin it up to max. rpm while driving through the transmission, hence only 260hp, right?

the way i see it is...the turbine has XXX HP at say XX K RPM...once you shift it into gear...i dont think that the turbine looses much of its RPM...so practicaly you've got 260HP at "idle" and once you shift it into gear...you let the clutch go..and boom...the car accelerates until the gearbox is at "max speed" in first...then you shift into second and boom..instant 260HP accelerate you until gearbox speed equals with road speed.
i'm quite curious how he managed to regulate the power output of that thing...

the fact that its an automatic makes it easyer..the manual trannies from the 928 are not very strong.

That's great. I gotta git me some a that.

I think we need to save this for posterity in the "engine swap" section. Don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't swap an X engine into a toofah. It CAN be done. Whatever it is. Yeah, I know this is a 928, but I think it is so extreme that it proves the "you can swap anything into anything" theory. And to think we argue about whether you should turbo a n/a. Heh.

I think I want to start with a motor from a Coast Guard cutter. Yeah baby.
