I mean for a home built engine it holds up remarkably well. Having good compression while not shrouding the valves or messing up the combustion chamber has to be a fine balancing act.

[@ReptileAssylum]

What?

Thank you, it sounds even better in person!

[@SB-vb8ch]

What was the actual mechanism of compression loss? Had it breached the head gasket or deformed the piston & captured the rings? Unusual to have zero compression? It's an amazing thing to see & so tough on the hardware, amazing anything survives

[@The-KP]

Music to our ears.

Well done guys!

[@martinrodger9565]

Watching the oil pressure gauge on the run is interesting. Think I’m watching the oil heat up on the run as the pressure comes up with rpm then slowly tails down as the heat comes through it down the track in top gear. It has ALL the pressure. As a self taught Haltech user: experience will bring you on v fast as it’s very user friendly once past the initial setup.

[@GregQuirin]

Thank you! Great to know still struggling a bit with the HalTech - logging is a bit wonky

[@martinrodger9565]

@@GregQuirin I’ve not had an issue with logging. I use Megalog viewer HD as the software to look at logs. I find it easier to use than the Haltech software, easier to make and save custom channels etc.

[@coltonensey6129]

Super cool

[@SierraDrilling-o2d]

I like how the rear of the vehicle is supported by five gallon jugs of VP C14 race fuel containers. The one guy said he stopped cranking the engine because flames exited the exhaust. I knew a guy who ran a body shop years ago; he was welding a panel when a stray spark somehow ignited a "sealed" gallon container of reducer behind him. Fellow was horribly burned and could not go in the direct sunlight for five years while his skin grafts healed.

[@charlies418]

Fantastic job - thanks for sharing! Is it wise to have the exhaust gasses flowing directly onto the rear tyres? Also, all that time and incredible engineering you put into this and you prop it up on 3 oil cans!

[@Nefville]

I don't know why but there are few things more terrifying than a dyno spooling down. I've seen some crazy shit happen and my god the mass of those rollers is insane.

[@trinescape]

[@tylershrader962]

You guys are so cool. Nice work. I want to go that fast on land. Will we see 300 someday ?

[@GregQuirin]

Fingers crossed! We are going 300

[@robertmoore119]

Firstly, congratulations on that speed record or target achieved! That is excellent considering that is a home made or private team design. I think the team involved is correct, the issue appears to be an expansion issue. The clearances I suspect were a little too tight. On the dyno, I saw it hit X rpm. I also think the gearing is set up for the speed target. So it has to maintain that RPM target for a sustained period of time. It does look like a heat soak issue. 17 tries and a success anyway, Good work!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Once it gets going, it looks like it drives straight as a die, but getting it going, the salt is a hard work out.

[@peted5217]

Geo. Poteet's 'Speed Demon' streamliner planned on 500mph piston driven record this year after 2023's 480+mph effort. Geo. unexpectedly died in July 2024 . Team had won Top Speed trophy many consecutive years

[@pauljanssen7594]

I would love to know what your piston to head clearance + valve clearance to piston.

[@Hydrazine1000]

Recently I watched a video from a pretty well known rotary guy who did Pikes Peak this year. There I learned that, Haltech being Australian, it's not pronounced _[hall-tek]_ but _[hell-tek]._

[@nelsonbergman7706]

Great engine, great car and team. Did you make two runs in opposite directions or isn't required for all sanctioning organizations?

[@dunbarautomotive]

Was there contact on any other cylinders? I hope the block beam strength is not at issue.

[@bradjohnson9671]

Everything about Bonneville is cool, even driving or riding in the chase truck. The drive to pick up the vehicle seems SO long as you have to keep the speed down ( I don't remember what the speed limit is..). The flats are SO deceptive as there is no visual reference, just your speedo, very easy to keep pressing the pedal. I really do need to get back there...

9300 rpm damn from a v12 - damn thats kool

[@hannesoehman]

According to Wikipedia Ferrari's Tipo 043 V12 F1 engine made 850 horsepower at 15800 rpm back in 1994. It had a displacement of 3.5 liters and was naturally aspirated. For a homebuilt engine 9300 rpm is very impressive, not so much for a V12 in general.

This is so cool! But is this with nitrous?

Man does that thang have some good oil pressure

[@andyb.1026]

How is the engine cooled 😮

[@GregQuirin]

Water cooled with a huge high volume electric water pump.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Around 0:27 we see the V12 hit 10,010 RPM on the dyno ... Later talking to Haltec on the phone, someone says "I know your goal is 12-5 but let's just go with 12 for now" !?!?!? Holy _ _ _ _! That is zinging! The RPM was lower on the record run so these guys will be back for more when they get the power up in the 9,000 to 12,500 RPM range they seem to be looking for. Congratulations!

[@jareknowak8712]

Probably it was about AFR.

[@kb9gkc]

The pistons likely made contact with the valves when you let off the throttle!

[@highpointsights]

what did the heads come from???

[@danb.3397]

I'm confused...how did Pete and Kevin miss metal expansion/stretch in their calcs ?

[@GregQuirin]

Shit happens. Different piston manufacturer and they were slightly different than the previous brand of pistons

[@mariusfridlund55]

[@rudolfglaser9664]

369 cinch and 286 mph? And then you have to push the car to get it moving at all. Potato chips and grape soda seem to be more important.
