these photos are an R&D project for a company that hot rods
Honda/
> Acuras. This little jem is a 3.2 litre V6 with twin turbos. They ran it on
> the dyno for the first time today. CLose to 1500 horsepower at over 14000
> rpm. It has a feature that I find intrigueing (SP) . There is an
> electrically controlled clutch between the exhaust & intake side of the
> turbos. This allows the driver (drag race) to stage the car in the
> conventional manner and run the engine rpm up to the desired speed and
when
> the clutch is engaged the turbo clutches engage at the same time. This
> provides near instantaneous boost ! The car has a carbon fiber body that
> weighs 38 lbs. Dale, the owner of Gilroy Car Care may be the pilot.
> pretty neat huh ?
