@@stevemorrisracing A few questions from a friend with a 540 and 118mm Precision in a ‘66 Impala street car (10.5:1, AFR345, 261/269@.050 680/680 114, hot air, 4barrel manifold, E85) that isn’t making close to those numbers. -Compression Ratio? -Cam Specs? -Head flow? -Pump gas timing numbers? -Do you sell custom base tunes for Holley that he could compare to what he is currently doing?

I started following you after you built that engine for Cleetus. I like the fact you share what you have learned through the years. Most people will try and keep that to themselves. Thank You Mr. Morris for the excellent videos!
This was a very interesting episode - big block big turbo goodness. When you run out of things to do, strap a go-pro on your dog and give us a time laps of a dog's view of a full day of watching 2K plus horsepower rips.
Its a great example of where turbo flow allows the exhaust backpressure to be less than intake manifold pressure thereby allowing scavenge and great setup efficiency. Love Steve Morris video's and his engines. Just makes everything else on the internet seem like amateurs. Great work Steve.
I remember 500hp was a number people said wasn't safe to be driven on the road...the 1k mark seemed to be 100k and a pipe dream only to be achieved by millionaires and race teams but never for anything other than a dragstrip.
Hello Steve, This is an extremely interesting episode!!! Especially the information regarding the intercooling, exotic fuels, the selection of the turbo and how to efficiently plumb it , ignitions timing adjustments.... 1,600 + hp= Holy Cow!!! 3,200 h.p. definitely is intense... Great idea for the owner to use the forged steel connecting rods... How do you feel about those composite connecting rods?
I never thought about it like that! When you're already having to pull timing and limit boost to keep from blowing off the tires there's no need for a lot of the stuff lower power gas builds get in the weeds over. A little parasitic loss is nothing when the turbo is in it's efficiency range with plenty left. Stout enough to live is the main priority
Am I the only one that gets anxious AF as that damn cursor works its way toward the end of the video? You just do not want this type of video to end, the information is presented in an excellent manner. Phenomenal job as usual. #Picaso of Power.
That combo seems wicked as all get out. I haven't seen a lot of engines on the dyno but that torque curve wasn't even thinking about rolling over at going on 8K rpm! Crazy stuff. Thanks for sharing this Steve.
Man I been watching you since Tom Bailey run his first five. Glad u finally got on the CZcams bandwagon. I’m a bit shocked I give away so much info but when u good as u are it really doesn’t matter. Awesome content keep it coming
Ever think about explaining turbos/blowers/motors with a quick video on pump curves or do you think it would confuse too many people that aren’t familiar with it? Would be great to explain what you mean when you say efficiencies and if something is in a good spot. Be it for power and flow or life/longevity then again if you’re in the right spot you’re getting both. I’m sure you don’t want to give up too many secrets, I’m very familiar being in the industry i work in but would love to hear how you apply it to moving air through a motor. Thanks for all the info Steve, this has definitely become one of if not my favorite channels. Hope i get to see that wagon one day. First car i ever drove was my uncles impala clone with an LT4 swap on back country pa roads. Will never forget that day, i loved that car
It would be cool to know the benefits/drawbacks of running this turbo vs twins. Not sure why (aside from those numbers), but this one speaks to me 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
Most of the time the exhaust wheel just isn’t big enough on the single and you’ll have back pressure issues even though the compressor wheel may be keeping up. Twins just opens up so many more options back pressure wise. Class rules may be a factor too.
You can use E98/100 to “intercool” the cold side by putting a nitrous fuel solenoid spraying 150-200 shot of fuel (tapped off your pressurized fuel injector loop) between the turbo and the throttle body set to turn “on” at full throttle...you can adjust your full throttle fuel map and the O2 sensors will adjust afr to compensate for the additional fuel...in addition to dropping inlet air temps, you also have the added benefit of reducing the duty cycle of your single injectors...all for a fraction of the weight of a conventional air/air or air/water intercooler.
I didn't realize until this episode the rods were anodized? That is something to pay close attention too. If I had to guess. I would say that likely has something to do with the failure. I find it surprizing that process was done to a high load structural component.
Since you mentioned the Turbo was very efficient and didn't make a lot of backpressure would you be willing to share the backpressure to boost ratio on that combo?
Yes, matching a turbo/turbos to get the best efficiency at your power point is a real black art. Makes me wonder why more people don't put a one size up turbo and then control the output as you have done here. Surely an air to air HX is a better option for something that will do mostly street driving? Be interesting to see the difference in numbers between the two methods.
I believe Richard holder did something like this with air to air and water to air water cooler believe he also did a fuel cooler also which didn't show any hp gains
Wow that is unbelievable great build I heard someone mention that a thousand horsepower used to be big power back in the days nobody could touch a Supra or a GTR now those cars are almost obsolete they are nothing compared to the new
Hi Steve. Very interesting vid & numbers. Cool vid. Any chance in the future you could do a vid on the pros & cons of smaller twin turbo vs big single on BOTH track & street? Loving your content & ways of explaining stuff. Cheers from Aus.
Bob Ross of the automotive world lol just a happy little efficient field of boost think I will sprinkle a little timing in there to bring out the color😆
I wanna see you do a small block 377 fully balanced and machined with half the counter weight cut off the crankshaft with Twin turbo and all forged bullet internals
That is a very well known old school radial combination! Ziff Hudson took his mustang with a conventional brodix head on a 509 BBC & ran 3.86 @ over 200mph @ 2750lbs! Many many times! Then he went to a 496ci 4.600 Bore space SBC [for the small block weight break] w twins & went bottom 3.70s on a 275 radial! Now he has a brand new C7 Corvette w his small block & a Harts 140mm single turbo w electric wastegate! Its made well over 4100hp at the hub already! That small block has made many many high horsepower runs, & has been extremely reliable! It is a full billet deal! Its not some broke dick cast piece 🤣🤣🤣🤣! So as soon as the owner puts his big boy pants on & some injector in that engine, It will outrun most cars! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Nice job Steve & Kyle! Only 1600 & it breaks 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣Not anymore!!!
I know the the tech talking takes more time, but I think the channel is going to benefit greatly with you and your son going into detail about stuff....Bravo...
Not sure if you saw what happened to Billy and his Nova with SRC, If anyone deserves a break it's this kid if I had the funds myself, I'd pay you to fix his engine that engine builder lied to Billy, and it nearly cost him his car thank God it didn't end worse, please get ahold of this kid and help him out not for free OfCourse your time is a living but make sure this kid don't lose his life or wreck again because fucking metal is slung off a crankshaft. You're the best engine builder hands down and this family could use you. Thanks
Steve, it would be great if on these turbo jobs, if you could show us the inlet and outlet air temps on the turbo, as well as inlet and outlet air temps for the intercooler, at the various max boost pressures you set.
🔥the hp numbers are just mind boggling to me, my camaro has ruffly 500hp and it’s a rocket 🚀 ship, 2500hp would just be insane lmao🔥nother great video guyzz and a beautiful engine setup sm 🔥👊🔥🔨⚙️🏍
have an 1100 whp ctsV & a stock trackhawk myself. bought the V brand new in 2012. still running the stock block & blower(jokerz done the blower tho) - its crazy how much of a difference 1100 vs 700 feels lol

-Compression Ratio?
-Cam Specs?
-Head flow?
-Pump gas timing numbers?
-Do you sell custom base tunes for Holley that he could compare to what he is currently doing?

Pretty cool your son reminds you on questions you forget about. There’s so much information you give out. I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much Steve for doing a single turbo big block deal for the street car lovers ❤️
Its a great example of where turbo flow allows the exhaust backpressure to be less than intake manifold pressure thereby allowing scavenge and great setup efficiency.
Love Steve Morris video's and his engines. Just makes everything else on the internet seem like amateurs. Great work Steve.
The power these engines are capable of blows my mind. I remember when 1000hp was seen as huge power, now days those are rookie numbers 😂
I remember 500hp was a number people said wasn't safe to be driven on the road...the 1k mark seemed to be 100k and a pipe dream only to be achieved by millionaires and race teams but never for anything other than a dragstrip.
Do it without power adders hit the 1000+Hp Threshold Naturally aspirated. Other than that very true.
I remember as a kid when a guy built one of the first 1khp cars here in Australia. Was a legend
@@MidgetPunter 500hp wasn't safe back then. Tires, brakes, suspension etc all had to catch up lol.
Very interesting combination , nice power in both modes. These videos are the best ! I look forward to them everyday.
I wish I could pay Steve to let me be his shadow for a month. What you could learn from someone like him is like a lifetime of working on cars
I freaked out when Dammit Mitch came up on the screen!!😂😂
This engine is keeping at least 3 corn farms in business to this day.
The boost and power and torque curves look just like a centrifical supercharger 👍
That’s awesome the customer is definitely going to be happy with that thanks for sharing buddy
I love watching those coils do the two step underneath the engine.
Waste gates blow down 😂
Mr Steve and his floating coils . That was sweet when they started bouncing around. 🤠🤠

That pull leading into the intro was ON POINT
Yep, the coils literally came off the ground!!😂😂

No problem
Wow! Those lines are crazy. Almost perfectly straight ramp.
Just amazing!
Very nice engine combo. Someone really spent some time putting that combination together to make some impressive hp numbers.
540 bbc is a great engine
RFD 24 HH MC Heads and RFD match intake is what I run. Curtis and Dan are great guys and very smart.

Steve's power hour!
love it...omg.
looks like an Atypical torque curve , peak at the same rpm as HP .. that thing is a freaking Monster .
You and Gale Banks are all about the efficiency and doing things the right way.
Amazing Guys
Hope to be able to afford power like that sometime
Really enjoy what you Folks do👍
Man I love that HP flat curve! Sweet.
💪🏻
Steve is the horsepower man. Unthinkable in the UK 🇬🇧 😎
Conservative/safe horsepower man.....lol...no just joking no he's good.
Maybe the most interesting video w/the methanol and e100 intercool info and the bit about the rules I didn't know that , very cool!
That is an interesting combo! I can't get over how efficient the whole deal is.🤘🏻🇺🇸

@@5uprnva that makes sense; thanks.
The camera in the cell really shows what monsters these are
Great video as usual
Definitely a sweet piece 👍
I can see 200mm turbo's in the future. These things are getting BIG.
That’s wicked on 18 psi!! Regardless of the intercooler it’s definitely a lot of power for even e100. 👍
Came over from Cleetus vids, cool stuff man!
Awesome work as normal. got my shirt from you today. Thanks again
Sweet
big block & steve magic.......😉
I wish there was a little more detail regarding setup changes, what was changed and especially why. Amazing vids Steve, been here long before Cleet.

Great sleeper engine! Streetable and point n shoot 🤘😎
Great as always
We used E98. Was good stuff. Haven't seen E100 available here in Aus. Methanol still works better. E not as toxic though.
This video is proof that kyle is the brains of the operation and Steve is just a pretty face :)

Curious how was the drive pressure at that 19psi of boost? I bet it was 1-1 or maybe even lower than boost to be posting those good power numbers.

Were the coils floating around under the engine, from vibration or some other reason? Caught my eye and made me curious 🤔

dry sump all day everyday
I've always questioned 2 turbos over a larger single for most applications.
Go fast stuff
Wow never really see alot of people doing e100. Is the air fuel ratio the same with E100 as it is with Methanol? or is it closer to 85?
