Default Mad Scientist Building Quad-Turbo V12 from Two Supra Motors



Toyota currently makes a V12, but it's only utilized in the Century and tuned to be quiet and smooth, not for skull-crushing power. But that didn't stop one retired mechanical engineer--whose nephew posted his progress on /r/cars--from building a mighty 1JZ-based, quad-turbo, 12-pot monster.

Head to the blog for more details/pics. >>

This is a 5 Liter/300 CI Turbocharged to a target of 800 HP
5.0L V12 FI 800hp, seems about right
