Bit of engine porn
Whilst on a course today at Nicholson Mclaren Engines I took a quick look at some engines they had on one of their 4 dynos !
I didn't get much info on it except its a old F1 3litre Engine, just made around 500hp on the dyno, 50k to build and 12k for a rebuild
Next on the dyno was this mad bit of kit, V6 Nissan twin turbo, 1000hp !
2 other pics I took :
