Worlds Fastest 4 Cylinder! Technical details! 

I was standing on the fence at about the 60ft mark for this pass. Car leaves straight and absolutely moves.

4:25 Holy crap that LAUNCH

Thanks for the shout-out Peter!

Great. So much info. Thanks Peter Elmer Racing does absolutely Insane engineering work always at the Peak.

gotta be a little crazy, and 100% committed to build a car like this. love it. this modified 4cyl class is a lot more interesting than cars that are set up exactly the same way.

What a great car. Amazing to see all the work that goes into a strange combo like this

Honestly, I can't imagine what it feels like to do 241 mph in 5 seconds, It's insane.

Kinda surprised the Ecotec hasn’t become a tuner favorite. When they introduced it, Chevy was very keen on racing it, with drag, land speed, whatever. Just to prove that it would make one ecozillion horsepower. This, and the 4200… Early 2000s GM was on some serious psycho work.

ty for the content this car is bonkers. the team effort is massive. one of the best vids in 24 ive watched! 🏁

Always appreciate your sharing the behind the scenes and commentary. 👍🏁

Tack för alla filmer under året!! Gott nytt år!!💥

I love, their sweatshirts. 4 sparkplugs, its enough!😃 Amazing car!

The level of sophistication is beyond compare.This level of applied technology on a big cube Pro-Mod would be amazing.

I think, and have thought it through for years, this might be the most awesome machine I've ever seen in sub-V8 categories. 👍

Good to see you back, Peter.😊

Sjuka bilar och bra film som vanligt Peter 💪 ser fram emot mera 😊

proudly from the Quebec

Peter I love your videos man. Sending you best wishes for Christmas 🎄 and the new year.

This is a truly impressive build.

Thanks for the share, Peter. All hail the algorithm!

Insane that it's not billet

Great video, Thanks for Showing and Explaining some of the Jobs that goes into this types of Cars.

very cool! Love your knowledge and observations!

This car is one of those rare & exotic work of art.

Good to see you back peter

What a rad and unusual build! Merry Xmas folks :)

The 2.2 Ecotec is in my 04 Ion, this makes me happy.

Great job and thanks for sharing

Representing Quebec!

that turbo compressor wheel might be made out of carbon composite as it looks to be black, I saw a picture of one floating around internet at some point

i wished we got more videos like these about other drag cars tho would be nice to see

Merry Christmas mate

Great content. The fast 4cyl are far more exciting to me than the nhra prostock series. Pretty cool an ecotec is still getting it done. Thanks for putting in the work.

thanks for vid!

Super impressive to get that out of such a small motor;

What an amazing little engine

Tack 🤗👍

Ahhhhh world cup finals in my home state of Maryland! MAN I miss that place! Definitely the place record's are made and broken and remade ! Epic track!

hehe, the exhaust housing of the turbo looks like a mini Metso MDR slurrypump casing:)

Neat video!

Sounds good. Would like to drive it around town.

Amazing 👏

In Sweden there was a CRAZY 3rd Gen Camaro with a B21ft-based monster making somewhere in the 4 digits.

Always loved the 2.2 liter ecotecs

thank you

They goin fast! Like pro stock cars

Thanks peter. Subscribed. A diesel power type application with the 10speed. Keeping the motor in the heat and just adding a bit more ratio, and fuel, and spark, by tiny increments. Huge complexity to make it behave. He's a smart tuner to get this far with it. Very cool. The new Blueprint engines 3.4 litre 4 cylinder should shake up the world a tiny bit. 340hp and 500ftlbs naturally aspirated. A new dedicated iron block from them,that can fit a single Chevrolet LS3 head, or a ford Windsor head. The LS3 headed engine made the 340hp. Give it a moment, and there will be a billet alum block for that setup and 600hp. 340hp is more than most V6's you can purchase new and most of those are right at 4 litres.

It was either last year or the year before that they changed from a 5 speed to a 7 speed. Crazy to think it now has a 10 speed.

Just for a comparison, John Mihovetz prepped 4.6 4V cast block/heads has made 3,000 hp on the Westech dyno. Billet not required

Finland mentioned, That indeed is a lightweight turbo in this beast. Very proud to see a finnish engineered part in the fastest 4 cyl car

Only two 4 cylinder engines hit 5s and thats the K24 and Ecotec. As a Honda guy I give Carl props for taking the record back. Such beast platforms. You guys can argue which one is better or faster but at the end of the day both have their pros and cons. Both are amazing engines and both have plenty of aftermarket.

Fantastic upload sir. You might also like the Red Demon It's a 4cyl AWD manual that's not to far off from this team. Main difference. The Red Demon seems alot more violent, and he has to shift gears.

Really cool and also fast car

Running a dizzy too! It's just so basic but wow it works!

Hope you're doing well peter

ECOTEC...LET'S GO 🏁

This little 4cyl can hang with a lot of outlaw v8s 🤯

finally some respect for the I4

I've been waiting for a bit from you. When will we see some new from yours. (Cars) . Have the best...

Those are my home track boys. They run the best track in Canada because they are racers themselves and are super passionate about it...clearly lol.

I love it and no less as a canadian! 👍

😮 Absolutely insane I will always be a V8 guy but how can you not appreciate a car that does 5.80's on four cylinders? There was a time when that would be a good pass in top fuel.

Like 20 years ago I had an S10 with the 2.2 and this makes my head explode to think this thing runs 5's with one😳

0:12 I was about to comment that fastest 4cyl in the world (with stock block, no billet/custom) was 2.2L ecotec 😅🤣 and look what we have here.. I though someone beat the long standing records with something made from billet/reengineered 6:51 exducer looks quite small, I wonder how much boost they run, as its small frame turbo.. do someone know how many blades they run? Historically 7+7 was best in any size between 44-72mm when it came to flow, efficiency and pressure ratio (with straight blades) tho garrett switched to 9+0, 10+0, 11+0.. 13+0 (depending on size) with most recent turbo generations so i wonder what they run on that unit

That's some quick shifting to get through 10 gears in 6 sec 😯

241 in 5 secs w a 4cyl is nuts

Bit 'light' on the technical details which would normally comprise of; Compression ratio Charge Pressure and all the other good stuff that makes dinosaur juice go bang

I have a turbo 2.2 ecotec in my Vw Manx and I want to make it scream but I can’t seem to find after market parts for it.

Awsom car.

Awesome! Is the base engine something like the Z20LET? I had one in my Opel Astra Turbo Coupe, and i was in love with it. Some tuner here in Germany built one in an Opel Speedster/Lotus Elise Dragster, it made Wheelies! 😅

I'd be interested to see fastest fwd car. It must be much harder to build.

That's wild. Any idea of the sort of HP@RPM that they are capable of getting? Next challenge 2 cylinders? :)

3:01 I can hear a Puertorican announcer loud and clear. 👌😂👍

what was the turbine housing from?

And they are from Quebec napierville Dragway... carl top gun Brunet and Nicholas brunet

That is very fast for a 4cyl!

Hasnt the ecotec been the fastest 4 cyl engine for over a decade now? I remember reading about an ecototec holding world record many years ago. Maybe it was the same team?

haha, i wanna make a portable 7 axis HAAS now :P

Adeen did the 6's long b4 anyone else in a Volvo 4-banger.

Tokébac icitte ❤

4:00 It's wild as fuck, looks like Godzilla's scream

Its absolutely WILD to me theyre still running a distributor, like, how??

You said it was a 10 speed? But it looks like it only has one speed... which is fkin lightspeed.

Suomalinen turbo.👍

I think I heard 6 or 7 gears DURING burnout!

Que Categoria de arrancada é essa que eu gostaria de seguir no youtube

Its not a regular cobalt engine its a supercharged cobalt lsj engine or saab 9-3 turbo engine

No need for v8's when a 4 cylinder can make a 5 sec pass on a 1/4 mile. Shout outs to this team

Being a liberty there’s no shift time, gearbox only transmit power in power, not coast. And if there was half a second per shift, 10 gears, there goes your et… Dogs for the next gear are engaged and before the transmission binds, ramps on the coast side of ring of the previous gear kicks the dogs out of gear. Pretty ingenious and fool proof

😮😮😮😮

Must have a really short stroke

Every JDM fanboy is seething right now.

Go check out kaku racing sr20 Datsun 510. It's in street form running 6s with a 4 banger. Amazing car from Puerto Rico

It acts like traction control when it shifts.

GM didn't spend as much money on the development of these engines as rhe import elitest like to think. Cast block, cast head. GM used to detune the cars and go rounds because even today Hondas have difficulty going rounds at an event. Nice Peter work. You van Google all the development.

Looks like a gto or holden monaro to me

What time 0-100 ? 402 - 5,8 ))

Why the distributor though? Is that due to the class they are in, or is there a technical reason for that?

4:06 my ears is bleeding right now! I wasn't ready to lower the volume!

Elmer racing new 3000hp 4 cyl billet engine from Finland i think will be super fast.
