I really like the part where it pulls away the pieces of the motor so you can see inside the cylinders as the piston compresses and the spark plug ignites the fuel... super badass!

variable vane geometry???


That is an amazing simulation.


*glow plug*

The tornado effect is awesome when it is drawing the air in.

Variable vane turbos are used in A LOT of vehicles these days. Benz has had them for a while now. There twin turbo v12's, the 03-current inline 6 diesel's and the v6/v8 diesels. I have heard that most of your simi trucks run them too. Great concept!

That is bad ass! I was watching dirty jobs yesterday and they were making bio diesel and the cost per gallon is like $0.55 per... When that engine hits the market. I would not mind getting my hands on it.. not to mention my engine builder (for hot rods) is a diesel mechanic and worked in FL for 7 years making the Cummings run 10s.

Don't some of the Porches use the Variable Vanes to?

See my post above!

Did you see how much of a PITA it was for that guy on dirty jobs to make the Bio Diesel? I dont have a whole barn dedicated to refining kitchen grease...
