turbine van 1/8 mile run

this is the first run at the dragstip. I didn't run the fire show down the track and I got on the brakes before the end of the 1/8th mile. 7.65 at 96 mph. 1.87 60 foot time.

WOW! I have like 20 questions about the build, do you have a website or forum thread on the build? I'd love to see what you did to make this possible

[krugtech]

@darobk I have loads of media and someone was supposed to build a website for me but that fell through. So for now if you want to check it out you have to come visit. Bring beer and diesel fuel, I'll take care of the rest. Did you see the little turbine bike I just finished?

Such a good idea, whats do you do for a living to know how to do this?

[krugtech]

@CameraBoy999 I barely made it out of high school. Now I have my own business servicing CO2 lasers and automated equipment. I made it here the hard way.

@MrRandomppl It's safe. But you have to realize anything can happen. It could get hit by a comet and that would probably result in death.

@dirtbikemike69 I did the 1/4 managed a 10.95 at 128 mph.......

I'd say it was a sleeper. But you would have to be deaf.

@tqadir007 it doesn't stick out until it's too late. The van looks totally stock until I "deploy" the turbine. We tried dynoing it but we had trouble getting a clean pull. We saw 136 hp front wheels and 575 hp rear wheels. The cool part was 2500 lbft torque at 0 rpm

[tqadir007]

@krugtech ohh trust me it will fit. crx has a ton of space in the back. there is also a video of a small mini cooper with jet engine. have you put this thing on a dyno. the rear wheels too see how much power it is realistically putting down. and about the van being fast i get it but you cant fool anyone with that van being stock. the thing is loud and everything is sticking out of it.

[krugtech]

@tqadir007 there's just no fuckin way this motor would fit in a CRX. The van is fun because no one expects it to move. they would expect a CRX to move. You have to be there when i ask someone who just bought a porsche with the $5000 carbon nanaotune buckyball Fullerine 6 piston brakes if they want to run my van in the 1/4 for titles. It's a riot! ZR1 Vette against my 2000 dodge grand caravan SPORT model in the 1/4? I'm waiting for the sucker to take that bet!

[tqadir007]

thats baller. you need to do this in a lighter frame car. thinking crx
