lol I grew up with my Grandpa strumming in the local banjo band at the pizza parlor.
Why are all banjo jokes so simple?
So bass players can understand them too. :D

I would say an F16 engine produces some POWER.

OK. Gonna post before I go back and look at everyone else's stuff so I don't chicken out :lol:

Durn Photobucket is giving me hassle in IE. Switch to FF brb...

OK here's the shot:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/KingMango/Photography/powertest.jpg

I took about a dozen or so exposures from which I took five to make this HDR. It was really dark in that opening beneath the trees as you can probably tell from the sun just hitting the tippy-tops of the trees. The first HDR I've made that I feel is truly acceptable.
[EDIT]Although now after having had the file closed a few hours and seeing it again I notice all kinds of niggles lol... sky color and the leaves on the left are ghosting... ah well.

I guess I took the power thing in a different direction.

A little blurry ( did try to sharpen it, but i'm not sure if it made it worse of better), and the lighting is funky, but a spur of the moment shot.

Is that a dampener of some sort going from the manifold to the fender?
Sweet looking engine. I haven't messed around with them since the first time I saw a square distributor in my GF's Ford Escort... lol
Although I do want to get an early seventies Bronco when I move to Texas later this month.

That is a torque damper to help keep the torque loss. The less the engine twists.. that much more torque gets to the wheels.

I was at a car show here in Austin when I shot that.

I'm currently working on a 400HP 1.6L SOHC honda motor for my car. I'm looking at about 5-6Grand just into the engine.. which on my current income will take about 2 years.... *sigh* I need more clients

King Mango

06-11-2008, 04:08 AM

uhh... 400HP 1.6??? :hail:
4 hp per C.I.D.! We used to hold the holy grail on the street at 1 HP per C.I.D. And that's STILL respectable. You must mean during a shot? Please yes?

Sorry for the bad image quality, I took this through a car window at 70mph.

A stock 5.7L LS1 will do 1hp per C.I.D. 350hp/365 ft/lbs for 346 cid

no shot.. it will be a forced induction engine (turbocharged). Honda makes a rock solid engine, and if built properly and tuned properly it should handle way more than the 400 that I am looking to get out of it. I'm by far not the first to do it, nor the last.. If interested check out this link:
http://www.turbod16.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4140

the top dyno is 463 HP to the wheels.. He is using the same motor that I am building up plus 30lbs of boost..

That is sweet horsepower for a car. I will get photos of it this Saturday, but my husbands truck is pushing or has broken 700HP and 1327 foot lbs of torque.:drool:

Not so. Man, that was a tough one! I've been riding for 22 years now, and I had to research it. Anyhow, that would be a Britten V1000.

Yes sir! those headers are from the britten currently sitting in the Barber museum. I took that pic a few years ago with a cheapo P&S, a little crop, sepia, edge blur and voila......
