Drag Diesel D-Max packs 6-Turbos and a Nitro

Image
What happens when a Thai man gets hold of one Isuzu D-MAX? Simple, he gives it six damn turbochargers and a tank of nitrous oxide to race it. This drag diesel truck was featured on CB Media’s Youtube Channel. The tuner garage who owns the truck focused on turning standard diesel pickups into drag racers. The tuning is pretty straightforward. The pickup got its standard engine equipped with larger turbos (in this case, six), suspension kits lowered the car to improve aerodynamics and control, while aftermarket wheels and tires were bolted to help with traction. The tuner then equipped the truck with titanium braces to improve the vehicles structural rigidity when going high-speed with shots of nitrous oxide. Thai tuners have steadily gained world attention for their keen attention to detail and world-class execution. Drag trucks in Thailand get carbon fiber parts that are handcrafted and fitted to suit the panels with millimeter precision.  Those who are familiar with carbon fiber m...

45 Years of Affection: Porsche's Love Letter to the V8

Image
"It was love at first sight," as Porsche expressed its feelings. Porsche released a heartfelt video this Valentine’s Season showing the automaker’s love for the V-8 engine. It was forty-five years now since the company decided to debut the iconic Porsche 928 with the said eight-cylinder engine. 1977 was a pivotal year for Porsche as it took the leap of faith, and gambled with the 928 as the new successor to the 911’s throne. It was a big role to play, and the 928 have had a tough time during its 17-year run. But if there was one thing the 928 proved, it was that the V8 had a place in the company’s heart. The love letter continued highlighting other significant moments Porsche had achieved with the V8. From the Cayenne to the Panamera, to racing on the deadly Nürburgring. Then there was the experimental V8 with electric power equipped in the 918 Spyder. That vehicle "made us fall in love all over again," the narrator said. "Now, on to a new challenge a...
