John Urist’s 1000+ HP Ford Mustang Turbo Kit
On August - 24 - 2009
Do You Need 1,000 HP At The Wheels? No, You Don’t, But You Know You Want It Anyway, And John Urist’s Hellion Power Systems Has A Bolt-On Kit To Do It, Plus Make Big Power With The GT500.
Article from HOT ROD Magazine -By Rob Kinnan
On the DynoJet at Motiva Performance Engineering, the Hellion turbo kit made 1,032 hp and 976 lb-ft on pump gas.Driving a car with a legitimate 1,000 hp on the street is nearly impossible without killing yourself and every innocent bystander around, but oh boy is it a lot of fun. Fifteen years ago, making that kind of power meant a 2,000-rpm idle, horrible street manners, and 4-mpg fuel economy. Thanks to the wonders of turbochargers and EFI technology, it’s now fairly easy to make four-digit power–but you still have to use expensive race gas to get there, right?

Nelson Racing’s Crazy Sleeper Rx-7
On August - 17 - 2009
Believe me when I tell you that I have seen some pretty crazy stuff in my employment here at Turbonetics. People are always doing something crazy and incredible with their rides. Sometimes it is a combination of both. While we don’t think making 1650HP from a 427HP engine is necessarily crazy, I do think that driving that same engine/vehicle around on the street like its a Honda Civic is another thing entirely. The ability to tame an engine that makes that much power calmly idling and staying cool at street lights is amazing. Major props to Nelson and the incedible engineering behind this cool ride. I still can’t believe that this incredible engine got stuck inside an old hoopty Mazda. Read the rest of this entry »

Ronn Motor Company Scorpion, the world’s first ‘green’ supercar
On April - 2 - 2009
Article from Autoblog.com- Nestled within that bodacious badonkadonk is a twin-turbocharged, Acura-sourced 3.5-liter V6 mounted amidships. Depending on the spec, the Scorpion can be had in two flavors – 450 or 650 horsepower – each equipped with the company’s proprietary H2GO hydrogen injection system. The idea behind the setup is to produce enough hydrogen on board and inject it into the fuel stream to get the benefits of the gas (increased fuel economy, higher octane and reduced emissions) without having to top up at non-existent hydrogen refueling stations. Combined with the ultra-efficient V6, Ronn Motors claims a boost in mileage of around 20 to 30% and a substantial drop in C02 output. With only 2,200 pounds weighing the Scorpion down, the company estimates fuel mileage at around 40 miles-per-gallon. Read the rest of this entry »
