All Of The Boost
That’s right, you’re looking at one engine boosted by four turbos. This quad-turbocharged
V12LS engine was hooked up to
Haltech’s brand new NEXUS R5 engine management system to draw attention to the company’s exciting product debut. Their plan worked.
The block is built by the folks at V12LS and is available in alloy or iron. An iron block is the most boost-friendly, so that’s understandably what this setup utilizes to sustain all the PSI that comes from the four
Garrett turbos. Being such a new build, performance information is unknown, or perhaps it’s a secret until it gets a final shakedown. According to the V12LS website, their setups can achieve over 700 horsepower on pump gas, or 1,000 horsepower with optional upgrades, not including boost.
The Panda Express
This is the only twin-turbo rotary that we spotted in the PRI Show’s sea of engines. It was also seemingly the only Subaru, and certainly the only rotary-powered RWD Subaru Impreza. It was built by Mofab, LLC., for time attack competition. A billet adaptor mates the Mazda engine to the Subaru transmission. Staggered G-series 660 Garrett turbos force air into the intake and an Elite Performance intake manifold gives more top-end power. Stainless hardlines withstand high temps while quick-disconnect fittings make it easily serviceable at the track. The end result is a competitive time attack car with 390 horsepower and 350 lb-ft torque at 4,500 rpm
From Track To Street
SDPC Raceshop’s detailed assembly of its Gen-IV LS turbo crate engine gives peace of mind, even for the most heavy-footed gearheads, whether driven in competition or on the street. The iron LS block houses a 3.622-inch-stroke crank and LS3 Heads outfitted with SDPC dual valvesprings. The
Precision turbo spools in a rapid 1.5 seconds when run with
Hooker turbo manifolds and an air-to-water intercooler. As a whole, the setup makes an impressive 1,041 horsepower and 1011 lb-ft of torque.
