That’s actually the reason he didn’t get to run it very many places in that configuration. Most the tracks he took it to told him to put it back in the trailer that death trap ain’t running here
@@highpsiguy4085 the real question becomes: What if the car gets pinned up against the driver side wall? There is no other way out and ask Mike Murillo what is like to not be able to get out of a burning car within 20 seconds.That fan may keep him cool, but there is no way ANYONE is climbing over 2 turbos sitting at 1200 degrees next to you in the passenger side.
For those wondering , Fabian bell built the car . 800 Cubic inch twin 98s I think, about 4000hp. I remember reading about it last year , no clue what it ran tho.
Nice so see the engine swaps going in the right direction. Pendulums swing and now I'm seeing FORD small blocks in GM chassis! LOVE IT! So sick of seeing LS and Cummins swapped into everything. There are soooo many amazing engines available but nothing but copycats in the car culture.
@@chadkennedy8675 lol, calm down purist, a real car enthusiast simply enjoy the work and effort put into those machines. Swaps aren't something you do in a day, you know?
@@RGV2300 not at all true. I applaud anyone who takes a drivetrain from one manufacturer, and shoves it into the body of another manufacturers car. But I completely agree that LS and 2jz swaps are boring. Old. We get it, you can get a junkyard LS and make 500 hp. Whoop de doo. Now, as much as I am NOT a fan of it, the guy who shoved I believe a 6bt into a mustang is awesome. THAT is something impressive
I remember seeing this car few years ago on RU-vid, I'd be a little nervous about having a Serious Turbo Failure, Those Shafts and Wheels are spinning at some insane rpm,s, If shrapnel gets through the housing, it's right in the Driver's Compartment. I would definitely look into some sort of Ballistic Type Shield, or Wrap, I'm not sure what would be best at containing a serious failure. If it was me, the Turbos wouldn't be sitting next to me.

@@tripprogers4814 You are correct, i didn't think about that, there ain't no way your getting out of that Passenger Side door with those Turbos and Piping blocking the Exit. It looks to be a very Unsafe Set-Up.
This is the worst idea I've seen in a long time. These turbos are known for exploding through the comp housing- Garrett is the only brand that's put serious RnD into containment and guarantee that any failures will be contained within the housing. They run them until failure on a test rig and inspect for damage and redesign as necessary... The number of race cars I've seen destroyed by turbo failures (usually shit hits the fan when shrapnel penetrates the fuel tank or fuel lines). I agree, I wouldn't want to be sitting next to those Precision turbos (one of the most common to fail at this end of motorsport). As for the climbing over the hot turbos if the car gets stuck up against the driver's door on the wall- that gotta be one of the NHRA's issues with it. I bet they weren't happy about the risk to the driver if one were to fail either... On another note, you'd think the hot pipes would damage the plexiglass screen in the rear... The heat wrap on the pipes will contain more heat (obviously) and shoot hotter exhaust out their ends because no heat is lost as the exhaust travels through the pipe... Wonder what plexiglass is rated to heat wise, that could cause a fire in itself
@@danielbrealey2924 I've always prefered Garrett Turbos over the rest of em. One of the reasons why is exactly what you said about Garrett,s R & D on there Turbos.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Yep, I agree. Only ever buy Garrett turbos for my cars as well... They last like an OEM quality part too, they are worth the money
8500 lol That’s cute. Mf don’t much start making boost til about 10k lol twin 98s on a Hemi? That mf will Rev to 15k for sure lol the PC Hemi cars are shifting at over 12k in race trim
For all stating that turbos wont launch debris...read below or click on link below directly : I made the cylinderhead for this. 1th run it made 7500 rpm . 2th pull BOOM. This turbine wheel dug its way out of the hiusing and cut through 0,3" thick chromemoly. The go pro on 80 frames per second with a field view of 20 yards did not even catch a red stripe. The turbine wheel was luckiky shot into the roof of Ahoy. These run at 100k revs. Resulting in a blade tip speed of about 2000ft per second. Yup..you read that right. As the shielding will try to stop the wheel coming out the inconel turbine wheel will create about 500 hp to 750 hp of cutting force. As the inconel is self hardening when ' cold ' deformed...it doesnt get dull or soft. It keeps cutting. The speed of pièces this wheel was so high ...there werent almost any burrs around the edges of the hole in the hood. The Dutch Tractor Pull association has taken adequate measures to prevent this happening again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WI0XWdfy6p0.html
All these comments about “I wouldn’t want to sit next to those turbos”….. When was the last time you saw a turbo wheel come through a housing? Never. Be quiet.
I love it and I hate it. No standard for safety there with turbos inside the car. Turbo explodes and fire and you are screwed. Not to mention flying shrapnel.
It was definitely a better idea in his head than it was in reality (or I would hope the hell someone wouldn’t put that kind of money into a idea that was that bad in there head also)
