The video above comes to us from the YouTube channel of professional BMX rider Caleb Quanbeck and it features a trip to the dyno with his Nissan S14 drift car. Like pretty much every S14 with respectable power, this Nissan is powered by a built LSX, and, after moving to Portland, Quanbeck had to have the car returned for the area"s 91-octane gasoline. Even on a "conservative, reliable" tune for the lower-grade gasoline, this S14 roars on the dyno and makes more than 500 rear wheel horsepower.Quanbeck"s Drift MachineThis video begins with some small talk as Quanbeck explains what is going on in the video, followed by a trip to his mother"s house to drop off his dogs. From there, he heads to Portland Speed to hit their dyno and get a new engine tune. Portland Speed remotely tuned the car when Quanbeck was in California, but now that he is back in Portland, he wanted to get it properly tuned in person. More importantly, he needed to have the LS1 engine tuned to safely make as much power as possible on the area"s crummy 91-octane gasoline.After some footage of the car coming out of the trailer and driving around the parking lot, the S14 is pulled into the shop and strapped down to the dyno. Thunderous RoarAround the 6:15 mark in the video, we get to the dyno pulls and we get to watch from two different angles as the Nissan makes three rips on the rollers. The car sounds incredible as the engine speed is gradually increased and when the LS1 is pushed to wide-open-throttle, the engine roars so loud that the camera microphone can"t handle it. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ <br style="clear: both" />
