Twin blown mk8 engines in one car

[Right on the Mark]

You see on "Counting cars" 2 mk8 engines both supercharged carbed in one hot rod.

LOL?.... LOL???? Really? DO you understand what you just did? It's like posting a thread labeled "FREE BUFFET with TWIN serving opportunities" to a group of fat men then opening the thread only to find a description of how yummy your buffet experience was!

The OP is referring to this car: http://www.doubletroublehotrod.com/

It's been on TV, in mags, and all over the net for the past couple of years. I figured there was already a thread on it here.

It was at SEMA last year

is that a blender attached to the passenger side engine?

 

[slowmkviii]

I saw it

 

[Roadboss]

Great looking pulleys on the blowers.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

It's an engineering wonder.

 

[slowmkviii]

Why the stock oil caps?
This known car makes me think that the show is stage to make it more exciting.

Now that's more like it... Damn... SCARY!

 

[chris2523]

meh. what do you do with that? it isn't useful in anyway.
fantastic custom work, dude has skill, but it has zero appeal for me.

is that a blender attached to the passenger side engine?

Looks like it doesn't it? But it's just a blender sitting on the floor next to the wall. But it sure looks like it's attached to the valve cover!

Now why that blender is there in the first place is another question all together...

Of course it is, that Count is such a freakin mega douche man, lmao. There just "cruisin' around" and all the sudded this dude just so happenes to be crossing their paths in some obscure part of Vegas. Idiots. This reality BS has peaked man just would these networks would let it go already, each show just gets gheyer and gheyer.

it's part of the motor I have no idea why

 

[thaywood]

Oh crap! You're right! It is actually attached. Looks like it may be driven off a PTO from the front of the engine. There's a shaft going in at the bottom and it's attached to the chassis. Wow. That's random...



And what's even funnier is that I have that exact same blender at home :lol:

Anybody else notice how HUGE the pulleys are on those blowers? I bet they don't pump but about 3psi

 

[racecougar]

The blender is mounted on a distributor drive.

And yes, with that blower drive ratio, the estimated 1000hp is pretty wishful thinking.

 

[Right on the Mark]

The blender looks to be mounted to a TFI distributor housing. These "show" cars are never really geared toward "boost" just looks. Just like the old Prostreet rage back in the day like Dobbermans J2000 Pontiac.

 

[topher5150]

I thought the distributor was coming out of the back. Look at the first pic and it's popping up on the drivers side engine behind the left valve cover

 

[thaywood]

Wierd as it is, at least it's a vintage Ford hot rod with a FORD engine and not a flippin' small block chebby:lol:

It's just a distributor drive to power the blender. The the actual distributors used to fire the plugs are at the rear of the valvecovers.

Click on the link, look at the last video. It's a funny add on he did just for kicks.

He calls it the worlds most powerful margarita mixer!
