Posted in ENGINES March 4, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  0 comments

Few vehicles on Earth have the power to weight ratio that modern sand cars have. These tube chassis wonders that were once mostly powered by stock or warmed up VW engines now sport turbocharged V8s that crank huge power. This video is a prime example of what a top shelf modern sand car looks like [...]

Posted in ENGINES February 28, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  4 comments

This is one hot little ’36! The classic Chevy pickup you see below is powered by one of the strongest Chevy inline six engines we’ve ever heard of. It is built to the hilt with a lot of one-off parts, a Kirby/Sissel cylinder head, a Garrett turbo, and internals that are certainly far more robust [...]

GM got the memo that the Aussies get some cool RWD cars and that we should get them too, hence the G8 and the upcoming Chevy SS. Ford still has not answered the pained cries of its fans to bring over their Falcon (especially the FPV or Ford Performance Vehicles models) to answer the GM [...]

Know what happens when the dudes from Keeter Performance and Nitrous Express get together? They build a pissed off Duramax so bad ass that it literally breaks itself off of a dyno.

Posted in ENGINES February 20, 2013  by  Chad Reynolds > >  3 comments

There is nothing sexier than the sound of an engine at close to 10,000 rpm. In fact, yesterday we were talking with Steve Brule at Westech about some of their recent tests with Lucas Oil’s Mopar Sprint Cup Motor. It’s a screamer, and Steve and I were talking about how happy that engine gets, at [...]

Posted in ENGINES February 18, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  4 comments

Our recent dyno videos have been Chevy-centric. That’s not because we were digging for Chevy videos, but more because those clips had jumped off the page at us. Today we’re going to the blue oval side of the fence and highlighting a totally bad ass 378ci Cleveland engine that makes more than 780hp at over [...]

If you’ve been reading BangShift for any length of time you know that our unabashed love of two stroke Detroit Diesel engines is often showcased.

Posted in ENGINES February 13, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > > 

When most normal people think of angels playing trumpets in the heavens they picture symphonic, musical noises. On the other hand, we picture the sounds generated by the two engines featured in the videos below, which wail and scream in ways that have us trying to think about baseball and Betty White to kill the [...]

Of all the cool stuff we have laid eyes on at SEMA, PRI, and the events we have hit so far, nothing has totally taken our breath away like Mike Moran’s newest engine creation. Moran’s Motor City Bullet series of engines is off to an impressive start with a 100% billet, 637ci Hemi that is [...]

Dyno Video: Watch 173ci Make 963hp — Seriously

Posted in ENGINES February 8, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > > 

Let’s face it, most of us won’t ever own an engine that makes more than 960hp on the dyno. It is a simple fact and it makes those engines something pretty special to check out. What makes a 960hp engine even more special is when all of that power comes from a grand total 173ci. [...]

This is the type of motor that makes us look at the computer screen and yell OOGA BOOGA after seeing it make a dyno pull. It is 565ci of 10-71 blown, alcohol burning, Pro-Filer headed, and Holley Dominator EFI fed nastiness. You may actually sprout a beard after watching this engine make a couple of [...]

We’re not running this video as a goof on a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution as we think those cars are pretty tough little customers. The 2.0L four cylinder engines in them can make huge power with tuning, larger turbochargers, and all of the other hot rod tricks that we all know and love. This video is [...]

This awesome blue oval mill had us yelling, “LS What?!” after we saw video of it wrenching out 1600hp on an Australian dyno. With CHI heads, Precision turbos, and 20lbs of boost heading into it, the motor is certainly strong and most likely headed for a full tilt drag car, but who knows. It could [...]

That’s right, the biggest and baddest ass production Ford built V8 in the company’s long history was an 1100ci, all alumimum, dual overhead cam, 32-valve piece that made over 1,000 lb/ft of torque just off idle and more than 520hp when run at its happiest RPM. What car was this thing in? It wasn’t. The [...]
