Nice find @RobA ! I enjoyed that entire video. I try not to let the resources of others influence my decisions or desire...however there is exception to that rule. Just listening to the work that was done on that car was mind boggling. They built that car, after much experience and failed components on it and others, in 11 months! I doubt with unlimited resources and 11 years, that I could get a car that would be that tight and fluid. Wow! Most of the additional boost was the alcohol injection above the 20psi boost, to 36psi! Again, WOW! Not sure we could put that in the boats and not sure we could dissipate the heat in our water cooled exhaust system without a radiator. But dang, when do you start the project Rob? Keep us posted!

That car looks like a beast and screams like a banshee! The sound of the turbo wastegate dumping 30+ pounds of a boost was impressive. A true one of a kind piece of engineering.

To have the time and resources to build something like that.... I can only dream.

8500 rpm redline. Thing sounds like a steam engine with the massive boost. It also sounds like it would not be difficult to blow that MR2 slushbox away. Better than the original Lotus box? Likely. Truly capable of handling 600+ hp with heavy turbo kick in a race car setup? Doubtful.
Impressive vehicle. If only I had either that much time or money to play with...

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I think I'd be wearing a full face helmet with an intercom system in that racecar. I wonder why he went with a Yamaha block and then to go to that extreme with it.

Awesome power to weight ratio, thats why! Even something like the ecoboost 4 turbo just doesn't have the same capabilities due to the weight. Waverunner engine is light!
