Watching tractor pulls on ESPN2... The big alcohol-burning beasts are running three turbos, multistaged, pushing up to 100lbs of boost.

yeah. They just weld the heads on. You can do that with our little engines and run 25, easy.

Check out varible geometry turbos. Some of them are in the neighborhood of 70 lbs of boost with a single turbo.

it would be easier if the cylinders are 2 piece...the cylinder screws into the head and the fins slide over the cylinders......sounds expensive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

personally, I like the idea of the head and cylinder being one piece....harder to do a valve job, but doable and is currently offered as is for Type I light aircraft applications.....

When you turbo a typeIV all the boost goes past the rings.
Seal the rings and it goes out between the deck and heads.
Seal the heads and it goes out the valve guides.
And oil starts coming out of places that never leaked before.

I was watching that too, I even thought about posting a WOT thread. They are converting heavy duty diesels to alcohol and then running compound turbo systems on them, mentioned going from a little under 200 HP to 4000HP!

Mike you need to look at an old OFFY they are made like that - that's why they were so succesfull as Indy car engines for so long. That's gotta be a PITA to do a valve job.

Compressing the rings and slipping all the pistons in is probably tricky too.

no need for a cooling system on a 1/4 mile drag motor...

Look at pauter...he has some 1000hp motors...

They are a one shot deal...but if you win, its worth it I suppose...
