Formula 1 technology comes to NRE. WOW! This Flex 1200 HP 427 Ford enters new territory. 

Off topic, but oh so true. Many people in the liberal arts who read and write well and are well spoken believe those qualities are the only important qualities, but that is because they are the people who we tend to see in the media and in business management where those qualities are important. And most importantly, in politics the wordsmiths rule over us, so they come to believe they are superior. In reality no one shook up the countries so that all the intelligent people ended up in the coastal regions and capitals, intelligence is geographically dispersed and there are plenty of incredibly intelligent people who are not glib, who are even socially awkward and poorly adjusted. In fact many of the greatest historical geniuses were poorly adjusted socially, there are entire books devoted to them such as "Weird Brains." The Silicon Valley is full of awkward but brilliant engineers. And the fact is that few of the liberal arts mavens have ever designed or built anything, they comment, they write, but they don't explore, invent, build and take risks. Our entire world is dependent on engineers, not wordsmiths. Just look up the epic accomplishments of Scotland's Stevenson family, the lighthouse engineers who saved countless lives, the father, uncles and grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the world's great writers. Look at the great bridges of the world, the Eads Bridge in St. Louis, the product of a self-taught engineer that is still carrying traffic today and closing in on its second century. Motor racing is full of brilliant self-taught engineers who have pushed the limits of technology, men like Bruce McLaren and Jack Brabham and of course who can forget Smokey Unick?

redlightcivic to even categorise some one as 'Liberal' means you are an uneducated American.

@@nordic5490 liberal arts is a descriptor of non-STEM subjects in college... You can't possibly be that oblivious..

Skilled tradespeople are as educated as anyone with a liberal arts degree. This includes skilled laborers. They are not educated in the same way as a college graduate but they are trained in the same mathematics, sciences, the scientific method of analysis, writing, all the things a college graduate knows. You can get a bachelors or masters degree in mechanics now...

@@edwardskaggs8746 most of these guys working at this level have one or more engineering degrees. There is a lot of mechanical, chemical, and Petro chemical engineering at work. Also Thermo and fluid Dynamics are a key point.

the ECU ? lol....

F like an fantasy?

Have you ever seen that type of software technology used on any other 'street car' engine? The F1 technology being incorporated here is right in front of your face.

Hostile 2valve means no F1 here.

@@calvin99991 umm.. any decent ecm will allow you to collect ALLL kinds of data. Same goes for data loggers for kinematics like RCP..

Yup.

I really don't like it when my brakes breaks

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that.

only 38 fucks ? fuckin light weight............

ICP is now stuck in my head!

You cant use the same ecu that is used into the common rails one of the primary differences are the step up coil( transformer)/ capacitor to step up the voltage up to 100v and drivers for the injectors!!!

Only one way to describe

Means a lot when he admits that from the gate.

MoosesRevenge I could swear this engine belongs to the orange s7 competition in the one of few, if not only, s7 dyno videos found online but I truly have no idea. Can anyone confirm this?

George Mitchell possible bad grind?

Karrie Bhurgari M1

Tom Nelson I did not thing m1 came in a yellow bottle but thanks

Automotive PORN

Brandon B It changes the cylinder pressure by changing the overlap events

Tom Nelson ah that's makes sense I take it pretty much closer the over laps the more time both valves are open at the same time hence less pressure builds up and the longer they are apart the more air and pressure builds since it was no where to go. I'm sure there is a hell of a lot more to it then that but super interesting! Thanks Tom I know your a busy man and I appreciate the wisdom!

Dustin Walden ... I think I heard him say 100 degrees difference

MR chassis so likely a ford GT... probably a flying mile/street racer etc if they are being this vague haha.

Ridiculous comment. Morris is much higher regarded in the racing and OEM industry. Look it up, Tom Nelson has a horrible reputation. Not Hennessey bad, but still bad.

Besides - this is NOT an NRE exclusive - any customer who can/wants to pony up for a Life Racing ECU or something similar from their competition can have said capabilities too...

FukU2222 Exactly If one check out these nre videos, it's actually not common that he does individual cylinder tuning. He always run two EGT and two A/F sensors. Of course he can still cange parameters on a single cylinder, but what good is that when you don't know what that cylinder is doing.

Eh?

Fun fact over head cams have been a thing since the 1902, the first American car to use them was in 1903 called the Marr Auto Car. The first dohc head was used in the 1912 Peugeot which won French Grand Prix at Dieppe.

ABSOLUTELY FUCK'IN RIGHT, I really missed that in the dialogue for sure-I was beginning to feel lost without it. Don't stop because of the Hallmark Channel:--))))))

Ryan Axberg it's running in the engine, basically mating the rings to the bore when you have a new engine rings and bore don't exactly match this process takes out any little imperfections ensuring maximum seal

I know man... "Brakes" my heart seeing such mechanically inclined people putting "breaks" instead of "brakes"...lol. See it all the time on listings on CL.
