Thanks for sharing. Some of those installs where very sanitary. I would love to have an Ultima. Youtube has one with twin turboed twin hyabusa motorcycle engines at 500 hp each. One engine drives the front and the other drives the back. Pretty crazy. Nothing like cubic money.

The owner of the GM manta have changed to a bigger turbo. With a power goal of 1000+ hp this will be the strongest 325i motor in the world when finish.

that volvo is insane. with 4 fi thingies you will have tremendous amounts of boost. they will need some big modifications to the engine in order for it not to explode the first time they fire it up

Nice!! I knew about some of those cars, but not all of them. We have a replica of a Ferrari GTO with a dry sump M70 and 6 speed. Have been looking to upgrade to a newer V12 from a 760. It seems like those engines never become available though. Looks like next big change will be replacing the intakes with one with 12 throttle bodies..
