Four In A Row Make It Go – Watch This Turbocharged Four Banger Dragster Run 6.40s at 200+!

(By Jason Mazzotta) –  One aspect of drag racing that will always be a huge part of the sport is the ability to create and innovate newer and crazier cars and combinations, and Don Nase Jr.’s 4-cylinder dragster is a perfect example of this dare to be different car. While the small cubic inch turbo engine combinations are popular among import cars and have been worked to run very fast, it is not the norm to see one of these engines sitting behind the driver in a dragster.

This video brings us up to Englishtown Raceway Park where Nase Jr. makes a blistering run going deep into the sixes at over 200 mph. This dragster is powered by a 135 cubic inch 4-cylinder ECOtec, with a single turbo making over 1650 horsepower, and weighing in at under 1500 pounds which is a recipe for a wicked dragster. In this video he makes one of his best runs; after bringing up the boost he leaves carrying a monster wheelie down the track with the front tires way up in the air. After a quick pedal he gets into high gear and flies down the track going 6.426 at 207.66 mph and shows that a the engine combination can definitely work in a dragster.
