Default Beautiful Twin-Turbo LS1 Holden


Sometimes, looking good and going fast go hand in hand. I'd argue there's a beauty in the symmetry of a well laid out engine bay like this one. Everything is clean, which helps, but the star of the show is the two twins sitting up front. They're like trumpets heralding the arrival of horsepower. Each "fweeeee" and "pheewwww" is an ode to the sweetness of forced induction.

It doesn't make a lot of power right now though (considering how built the car looks), but there's good reason for that. The engine has stock internals and this video is the first dyno tune the car has been run through. It is equipped with with E85 though. Thing'll get interesting when they crank the boost later on.

I was about to say the same thing. I watched the video first and only saw 462hp on twins. I was about to say what a ripoff considering all of the fab work, etc. Then I read the OP statemtn about stock internals. Looks good nonetheless
