I think this would be a bit of fun

2,105hp @ 9,500 Rpm , 1,164 Torque (lb-ft), 25 psi

there is not one single gasket on this whole engine




Engine Masters high performance engine builds

[Astranomical]

That could be a LOT of fun....couldn't put it in a Commo though, probably rip it to threads with that amount of power, lol.

[BANKS]

OMFG............ :my:

I think that will fit in the tray? hang on ill check

dual 4" exhaust needed lol

[AttaBoy]

Damn......... that is car enthusiast's wet dream.....

[redcv6]

**** that would go alright in my dune buggy

[Wagon_Wheel]

JEEEEEESSUZZZZZ...
Thats insane, what you mean no gaskets?

[Pub247]

lol 442ci 4 turbo and tuned length intake piping 10,000 rpm you know you've gone too far. nice drag car engine though totally impracticle on the road
And wagon wheel every surface has been o-rigned instead of using gaskets

[CANYONERO]

i love to get my hands on that. and shove all of it into the back of a kombi. wheel stands!

[Jesterarts]

wonder if that will fit in my lil e30...

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

stick it in a go cart

[Commydoor]

Dont tell Tim the Tool Man Taylor or it'll end up in his lawnmower

[Ozzie]

speeeeeeeeeeeed boattttttttttttttt

[Astranomical]

All I know is that I'd hate to be paying the fuel bill

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

All I know is that I'd hate to be paying the fuel bill

STUFF DA FUEL BILL!!
Id still drive it hard

[AttaBoy]

All I know is that I'd hate to be paying the fuel bill

I think the fun in that thing would outweigh the fuel bill...

Who cares about fuel bill... just drive the bloody thing lol..

A NO-GASKET ENGINE?
This engine doesn't have a single gasket in it anywhere. Says Moran, "I haven't had good luck with gaskets in either the nitrous or turbo engines, so this engine is machined for O-rings at every mating surface. Cutting those grooves everywhere adds to the initial cost of building the engine, but I believe it's worth it. Without gaskets, I can pull the engine apart quickly, service it and get it back together without worrying about whether the gasket surfaces were cleaned off and siliconed properly to seal the engine back up." Moran has his machinist create a CNC program for each O-ring, so replicating the grooves on customer engines can be done quickly and efficiently.

Probably the wildest O-ring in the engine is the silver-plated, nitrogen-filled, aluminum tube O-ring used to seal the combustion chambers. These O-rings are similar to technology used in Meaney's BB/A turbo drag race engine and come from England. Moran has them custom-built for his application and feels they are the future. "We run peak combustion pressures that are right at the limit of a solid copper gasket," Mike says. The nitrogen in the O-rings expands as the engine gets hot and does a great job sealing the head to the block no matter what the pressure. About the only negative we've have seen is when they're cold, they bleed off a little combustion pressure. But we don't race when the engine is cold, so I consider them a great solution."
