Its so vulgar yet impressive

Wow, the video of the engine on the dyno is absurd. That is a such a badass car. When you have 1600 at the flywheel, you can be as gaudy as you want.

where's the vid kelemvor?

The link was at the bottom hidden in same-color text.

Here it is:

Also, I think I saw somewhere that they plan on showing it for a year, then they'll race it.

Dang, I guess it really is hard out here for a pimp.

Cheap bastards only went with 23K gold instead of 24K....losers.

Ok, in the vid, I don't know much, I understand the power on the dyno showing the HP in all, but it doesn't seem to be good when the thing starts to glow from heat and the it flames up. Someone please explain???

so lets see....driver...pit crew...professional DETAILING CREW...X-BOX (whatever his name is) and WEST COAST Customs...and the video crew of PIMP mah Ride

Typically, you will see an engine in which alot of cylinder pressure/exhaust velocity do this. It's not a horrendous thing - it's just excess exhaust pushing out between the header gasket and the head itself. My car will make the header red hot on the dyno under load, but won't separate the gasket and push through, because I'm not running enough cylinder pressure/producing enough exhaust velocity for this to happen. Couple extreme RPM with an already-aggressive Rotary, and you get alot of this.

Article said they knocked off a 7.1 @ 197mph.

I see, gotcha, thanks!

You can't hide money.

Somehow a turbo wankel in a bimmer body is just wrong.

This, for a traditional inline or V-X configuration engine. It's a sign that you're running too much boost pressure. This happens because the cylinder pressure is so high that the head is flexing and the intake charge is blowing past the head gaskets. It needs to be modified for more head bolts. An engine won't last long in that configuration.

But this engine is a rotary so it doesn't have traditional cylinder heads, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
