Engine Masters (2015)

Episode Overview

A junkyard Chevy LS engine paired with a turbo is a common idea nowadays, but just how powerful can it become? To explore this, Engine Masters enlisted Richard Holdener, the mastermind behind the original "Big Bang Theory" dyno test. Back in 2011, he showcased a 1,200hp boosted 4.8L in HOT ROD magazine. Since then, Holdener has pushed numerous junkyard engines to their limits, discovering that the connecting rods often fail under pressure. This time, he’s working with a 6.0L featuring a duo of BorgWarner turbos aimed at reaching 30 psi. Will it succeed or explode? Tune in to this thrilling episode of Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL.
