Important New LSX 1000 HP X Ram Bolt on TT 427CI. Nelson Racing Engines. Symmetrical Mirror Turbo

[@aldoavak9]

Tom, you are the Chip Foose/Ring brothers of engine design and fabrication. Simply amazing!

[@TheBrownGarage]

im always beyond impressed with your engine builds

[@johnjames3180]

Like you say the beauty is in the Packaging. You nailed this. It rivals something that you would see on a European Supercar. Bughatti doesn't make an engine any prettier.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

John James Actually they do cause their two stage setup is way more compact

[@RamblinAround]

Definitely a well-engineered package. It's a really trick piece, but it also looks like something you might find on a factory performance car. Should make for quick and easy installs too. Nice work.

[@BigzeeeN]

lol this engine is 25k+ if u got that money u can hire a fabricator lol

[@chickenluverful]

It's my bucket list to buy one of your engines for a build I do. Keep on keepin on brother!

[@robert41328]

I have been watching your vids for few months now. just want to say you are the Man. go man go.

[@ston3kill3r]

Another brilliant piece of engineering from NRE

[@1TheBusDriver]

God damn, NRE always coming through with some sick new developments.

[@xTHUNDERCLEASx]

Another piece of Artwork by NRE, very nice guys .

[@Plaguejoe]

That's naughty, hell yeah! Keep up the good work Nelson, we motorheads love ya.

[@TheSteve1175]

Love your work Tom, stand tall and keep kickin.

[@johnhazel9986]

At low RPM the boost after the intercooler is about 0.5 psi higher than either side before the intercooler. Your pressure gauges need calibrating. (6:00 time)

[@coreycaswell4688]

I love cars, when you talk about Motors and what you do I love them even more in this life or the next I'm going to hit up a drag script and see what I can do I will find the right teacher.

[@Marcus2750-u1t]

Badass period!! It doesn't surprise me though coming from y'all, you are the best in industry!!

[@68camarobsk]

I love going for rides in Tom's dyno room LOL

[@HEKuiper]

Love the design of the X Ram, would like to see it on a hemi and viper motor too! I see the torque band is a narrow 2000 rpm and your motor is topping out at 6100 rpm... Small block Chevy should be good for 6500-7000 rpm. What happens when you can only find 87 or 89 octane pump gas and there is no octane boost available?

[@chopedandsectioned]

impressive engine as is all your work, when you said you were trying to get real life results from it how do you compensate for power loss thru your drive train?

[@hugoortiz05]

How does the factory knock sensors work? I thought they were calibrated to the engine in stock form. Wouldn't modifying the engine change the sensitivity of the sensor? Also I noticed the water temp was low. Wouldn't you want to run it at an operating temperature to get an accurate result? I doubt the engine will run at 100 degrees in the car.

[@sparkimoto]

As soon as I win the lotto, I'm gonna have them build me an LS V12 with this same set up!

[@DanMcD80]

how does this intercooler do on non-boosted apps? looks like it would eliminate need for a cold air intake

[@drew-ie9xw]

Love to have this on my 5.3. Keep uo the great work!

[@cbzo6]

Awesoome motor! Would love that in my daily driver 5th gen Camaro.

[@senioraces]

amazing!!! has this been put into a C6 Corvette? If yes,is there videos on that?

[@WRENCHGODLLC]

Is this intake for sale? I saw the edelbrock cross ram but this is next level

[@JerseyMikeP]

That has some pretty big Turbine A/R since it's only 5psi on a dyno @ 3,000 rpms with 427 ci. during the 14psi pull.

[@christianrieck9550]

Please update the website. We want to see all the new goodies there.

[@7071t6]

Now connect the interchiller for the intercoolers for the air and you will have an extra 100HP easy. :)

[@ziggassedup]

Bringing out all the weapons.

[@neilkilner9526]

Can it be applied to a super charged one for an audi rs4 b7 4.2 v8 would be interesting to see what power it would put out

[@7071t6]

Now i wonder if the stock internals from all the corvettes and camaros will take this twin turbo set up with no mods to the engine whats so ever other than exhaust and tune ? Especially with australian CARS with the L77 6lt and the Holden /GM SS LSA engines ?

[@triplemotor]

I would love to see how this engine will fit in an SLC Superlite...Tom..? Any plans to do that..?

[@andrewt248]

1000hp and she settles right back to purring like a kitten at let-off. That's hot.

[@retcwby]

you guys working on this for the 5.7 hemi??

[@roaringcat1]

Does Nelson Racing Engine make a X Ram for a BBC? I think it would be a cool product for a BBC because you have a big engine and with the small profile of the X Ram it would be much easier to put a BBC in any vehicle and get huge numbers.

[@RevolutionRaceWorks]

Been waiting to see this great outcome just think what a little bit bigger of a stick some better fuel and a couple more lbs could do.. just impressive.

[@sparkimoto]

I'm wondering what took so long for this type of design. It doesn't get any better than this. Symmetric twin turbos. Inter-coolers built into a cross-ram intake. The perfect set up for any V engine. I'll be buying from them soon. I hope they can make me a manifold for an LS V12.

[@ThePleza]

I LOVE THAT INTAKE

[@idus]

So your using the stock ecu on this set up and tuning with hp tuners?

[@_____Justin______]

Tell you what Tom you really know how to give one hell of a sales pitch! Haha

[@sparkimoto]

Only thing I'd like to see added to this would be an x-pipe at then end. Just curious to see what it would sound like with an x pipe.

[@methodical_66]

That's great n all...how much is the package?

[@brogers114able]

all your stuff is A+++

[@ecosse33]

Speechless...

[@RodZilla11]

On the twin turbo set up, how do you change the BOOST? Are you using a laptop in the car?

[@5951hamster]

Any alterations required for my 84 vette with right hand hook? I would love to know the price thanks Tom?

[@truckcraz]

You are my GOD yabuddy keep building the right stuff and ill build the car to Handel it yabuddy

[@MountedMontersTV]

Edelbrock made something like this i wonder if they got there idea from NRE...most likely theres dont have inercooler built in

[@ForgottenMustard]

Tom sometimes looks a lot like Troy Trepanier :))

[@guspi76]

If I hit the lottery, you'll be my first stop to commission a full build. And this X Ram intercooled package will be it!

[@TACTICIAN4009]

That's the New "Bitchin series" Motor by Nelson racing engines ! Lol top notch set up.

[@theslicks1394]

Amazing engine. What song is that from 6:10 to 6:40?

[@AngelCruz-bz7le]

would this fit in a new 2016 tomorrow

[@davidblalock9945]

How much does that engine way? I've got an N/A 427 in my 66 Chevelle and I'm really wanting to juice it up, but I don't want yo upset my nearly perfect weight balance I've worked so hard to achieve.

[@forresttillman7945]

I have a 2001 3500 HD Dualie 8.1 need max power and torque for Max towing ...what do you have for that...and only 100.000 miles

[@swdetdude]

How much for that engine if i wanted to get one?

[@chrisgallimore9083]

It's amazing what happens to a turbo motor when you increase plenum volume.

[@richard16372]

Absolutly amazing and your are quite the engineer to do what you do. I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED GOOD JOB AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@baezn88]

Are these engine street friendly? Can you use them for daily driving, if you decide to? Thanks

[@Graffitiluva]

As he said in the video it is a friendly daily driver 500 in the am to 1000hp in the afternoon or on the weekends to blow people away.

[@thatsilverxj7874]

What type of mpg would this get xD

[@j.scottsmith4842]

Hey Tom! You're pretty high octane?

[@tazzwright7966]

how much is that intake

[@capnslufox]

Could you use 2 prochargers with that style of intake?

[@JerseyMikeP]

For 1,000hp...there would be no reason to run (2) Prochargers.

[@metalsnak6]

man id love too put this in my gmc sierra haha

[@sparkimoto]

Interesting how the throttle bodies open opposite each other. I'm wondering what is the significance of this.

[@YaM0MsAh03]

you're kidding right? one is upside down smfh

[@CamaroRick]

You can send me one in the mail! Will the intake setup fit under the cowel of an fbody?

[@AndyDittmar1]

Is this only for gen IV engines? Can it be used on cathedral port heads?

[@JerseyMikeP]

The intake? NO it would only match up to rectangle ports.

[@j.scottsmith4842]

Loved the "Dog-sht exhaust remark. .!

[@5H4V3D89]

If you can just R&D that into my 68 Camaro that would be fantastic!

[@crabbdaddy05]

okay - awesome! now adapt it to the coyote motor so we ford guys can have some fun!

[@methodical_66]

Its a nice setup...but you can make the same power with a junkyard build...If you have tons of $$$ and just want a drop in unit...this is the way to go....if you are working with a budget...you can make 1000 HP on a junkyard build...you could probably buy a built short block...say a 408 Lsx run the intercooler upfront... Yes it will be drivable like a factory car and pay less than what this NRE package will cost. Awesome fabrication! Don't like the electronic throttle body set up but...nice set up...if you have $$$$$$$

[@BigzeeeN]

and itll last 100k miles try that with any junk yard build youd be lucky to get 100 passes

[@anasasisxenophontis]

BigzeeeN Nutswinger alert...

[@BigzeeeN]

good luck using the motor ur pretending to build for the street can u even tune bro?

[@highvelocity123]

"If you have the $$$$" Guess what, I have the money...!! If you want something bad enough, you get it.

[@methodical_66]

highvelocity123 ...ya you're absolutely right highvelocity123...let everyone know how that works out. As a matter of fact post a link to your setup when and if you purchase the setup

[@beeman4266]

Is this just a stock ls 427 short block with stock internals?

[@AB-80X]

No. They don't use pre-ordered shortblocks, unless you bring your own to be completed.

[@methodical_66]

A person could probably blow numerous junkyard builds and still wouldn't come close to what NRE charges for their setups. A person could buy a built short block, set up a turbo kit with the intercooler mounted in the front...blow that built short block...and still have enough money to buy another short block and not even come close to what NRE charges for their setups

[@myjizzureye]

How much?

[@hoplite46]

is that a separate system or come from radiator to cool the intercoolers

[@BigzeeeN]

TWIN THROTTLE BODDIEEE!!!!

[@SRT480]

amazing.

[@king0dasouf]

Tom this is really great shit for the industry. That being said where's the DIY ls turbo kits at? All this knowledge and still nothing for the back yard racer! Why can't the weekend motor builders and racers get a break and have an affordable option. Personally I don't care what directions my turbos spin as long as I get boost! I'm just saying good boost no matter how ugly but dependable and rugged at an affordable price. 100k is not affordable I can get a house for that around here.

[@BigzeeeN]

lol but u could hang w jeff lutz at dragweek with not trailor and with ac powersteering and has a warranty

[@methodical_66]

I completely agree with king0dasouf...I actually sent NRE an email to asking if they could develop a kit for the weekend motor builders/racers That don't have deep $$$$ pockets for the expensive packages they out out. Something that is reasonably priced bit with NRE quality. I also don't care what direction my turbo(s) spin...as long as I'm getting boost. In my email...for the regular person...I asked instead of twin turbo...just develop a kit around a single turbo system...to bring down costs....of course I didn't get a response... But I did mention that there is a market for the common guy to have an NRE setup but that didn't have deep pockets for chromed out everything...mirror turbos...etc...but like I said...my email obviously was ignored. NRE's prices are ridiculous...excellent craftsmanship...but the prices are ridiculous. Check out the sloppy mechanics builds...they build stuff on a budget...and a lot of their cars are running 8's and 9's....To everyone saying well a budget build will only last for 100 passes or less...or more...but eventually will blow. True...yes...no...maybe...but anything mechanical and with the boost will...no matter who builds it and puts their name on it. Like I said in earlier comments...based on NRE's prices...I could build multiple short blocks on a budget...or run it with stock internals...get a turbo kit...or fabricate a front mount intercooler single turbo setup based off flipped stock manifolds...run it off a factory computer...or microsquirt...and yes it will drive like stock....do all of that and multiple times if the motor blows... And still not come close to NRE's prices

[@BigzeeeN]

i mean i have a buget build myself but if i had the money i would buy a nelson, for the longevity and absolute cool factor ive been watching for years and its inspired me in what i build so i guess i come from a different standpoint.

[@methodical_66]

BigzeeeN lmao...warranty...that's funny....whether or not a person buys this package doesn't matter regarding hanging out with Jeff Lutz....my point even brung Inc up his name was that no matter who a builder or user of a particular build is...anything mechanical can and will break...no matter what products are used to build a motor... No matter who the tuner is....and no matter who the customer or user is. Lmao...warranty....I'd like to see what NRE's definition of a warranty is on their setups..

[@BigzeeeN]

well u can tell in the first 3 miles how ur motor is going to behave, or if theres any problems, and thats a false statment go to your local track and youll see how many guys have changed there set up and the numbers are low... build it right replace rings rinse and repeat

[@xenomccrisis6683]

that is sooo nice, neat, clean and BRUTAL as fuck.. i love it.. i wanna come learn how to build great engines from NRE.. i'll work for free... ha!!!

[@cairnmitchell]

Wow!

[@swdetdude]

I want my shit to start the Fuck up...

[@TheNecromancer6666]

If i had a Z28 or old Z06 this would be on it....

[@adamryanclark]

Looks like edelbrock is copying your intake tom Nelson

[@AB-80X]

+Adam Clark Or have you considered it's the other way around?

[@AB-80X]

Starstriple Cross rams are nothing new. Also, you have to remember that NRE has copied things before - like their mirror image turbos, which in fact are just Turbonetics units. Sure NRE builds very shiny engines, but I don't get the hype at all. He's mouthing off about 1000-1500 hp engines, when others are building 2500-4000 hp engines. Add to that the absolutely horrific service history of NRE and their extremely delayed builds. If you get the chance, try talking to guys like Bob Madara, Eddie Young, Steve Morris, Dustin Whipple or the guys at Mast or Butler Performance if you want to see real customer commitment and service. Unless you're a big name, Tom Nelson won't give you the time of day once he's got your order and money. The others you can call in the middle of the night and they will still answer to help you. And yes, I know of this personally. I know two guys who have had to pull the plug on NRE engine orders with threats of legal action, and one who's engine that was not up to spec.

ABOlsen69X I mean, I wouldn't say they're straight up copying. now, would I buy from NRE? Noooooo lol everything you've said is about the smartest thing anybody here in these comments would be able to hear

[@SoI_Badguy]

ABOlsen69X Yeah, I totally bet people are making 4000hp out of a Twin Turbo 427.

[@AB-80X]

Jαѕσи Tσdd What are you talking about? Nobody said anything about 4000 hp 427's. But ask Proline or Steve Morris to do a 2500? They can do that no problem. They also build 4000+ big cube engines. What I'm saying is that fact that NRE is boasting about their turbonetics copy turbos and 1200 hp LSX, is pointless and not very special. Combine that with the utterly horrid service rep NRE has, and Tom Nelsom ought to think about stop flapping his jaw and worry about those who have actually spent their money on his engines and parts.

[@mrss8979]

How much would that intake cost

[@JerseyMikeP]

They don't really have Prices for any of the "Parts" on their website....which begs to ask, why even have it if you don't want it to be easy for people to buy?

[@JerseyMikeP]

Edelbrock version is $1,284, I've seen carbon fiber ones that were $4,000

[@chrislarrington3481]

nelsonracingengines how much would one of those cost

[@AB-80X]

+Chris Larrington Call and ask. You'll be lucky if it's ready by 2018.

[@296jayce]

I wonder, is it even possible to DETUNE an lsx 454 with this intake and twins to 800 hp and below, just for warrenty purposes for the trans lol

[@JerseyMikeP]

Sure...they ran

[@hondatech5000]

/tears I hate you Tom... its a good kind of hate. Why is the map all humpy when i took another look I wonder why it has the dips in it? I guess the mani/cam needs these changes on the lower end to make it happy and then they come in like a beast when the boost pours on? It even looks strange compared to something like vtec or vvt-i when there is a massive change in ve. Im always so impressed with new stuff carry on brother see how far cubic dollars will take ya.

[@KILLAFORD41]

Haha thats a good one ( 91 piss)

[@g6qwerty]

So why don't you do this with ford engines?

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

g6qwerty because the newer fords don't make any tq and cost twice as much

[@vettari]

unreal

[@hoplite46]

dude you did it again

[@awgibson93]

Thats a lot of money for only 1000 at the flywheel lol, turn the boost up and let her eat. People make close to that power with a junkyard engine :P

[@406_chevelle8]

Dude this is just the beginning, showing off their new invention and aren't even done with it. Plus how cool is it that you finally don't have to deal with mounting an inner cooler and run piping throughout the engine bay. And that's just 14 lbs of boost, if the engine they built could handle it, they'd probably turn it up to 20 lbs and make 1,200+ out of it.

[@thewakz]

The point is more than just 1000hp. They also have drivable car, reliability up to 100k miles. Smooth idle. That torque.. it's all about that torque curve, or lack thereof. You put this engine in ANYTHING it will be amazing. This product is genius.

[@TheBrownGarage]

TheCowGoesMoo o water to air inter coolers have been around for a while, usually used on twin screw supercharged engines, they put it between the supercharger and head

[@thewakz]

ChronicConnoisseur Is that generally why Weiand engines look so tall?

[@406_chevelle8]

ChronicConnoisseur Well yea, but I meant for turbochargers. This is the first inner cooled system I've seen that doesn't have it in the bumper and piping running around.

[@fanghicheck]

7 liter turbo ? YES

[@methodical_66]

BigzeeN....so you're saying a person can't make 1000 or more HP...and use the factory PCM and have it be a daily driver and considerably cheaper than what NRE charges? Listen before you start telling me your resume of how you are an experienced tuner or trying to point out how I'm not a tuner...you know nothing about me dude lol. But of my posts...stating how a person can get 1000 hp ...use the factory PCM...still have it as a daily driver and so on...that is true! A person can buy a junkyard motor...or buy a shortblock ...make 1000 HP and have it idle and drive as a daily driver....but it depends on the tune...what gas your running...compression ratio...etc

[@AB-80X]

They are not making 1000 on pump. 850 was the pure pump number.

[@ErikThePieMan]

Actually he clearly states at the end of the video 1000 horses, 1000 torque on pump gas.

[@AB-80X]

ErikThePieMan No. He failed to mention that they used a mix of pump and race gas to get the 1000 hp number. I'm not disputing whether or not it can make that number on 91 only, but they didn't prove it here. Watch from 13:30. They added timing and race gas, which also seems correct as boost was up to about 15 psi.

[@modeltrainman]

At the end he does say 1000 horse on 91 octane.

[@blow0me]

+ABOlsen69X He's a little vague in what he says, just that he added a little timing and gas. Nothing specific as to what gas, but perhaps a little coy of him if it is race gas given he seems to be pushing a pump gas 1000hp story.

[@AB-80X]

+blow0me Looking at the A/F and hearing the way he says "there's your 1000/1000, with a splash of gas", I don't think there's any doubt he's talking about race gas. He has referred to race gas as simply "gas" on several other occasions. In other videos where he has leaned out or fattened up the map, he has said so as well. The only time he talks about pure 91, is when he does the 9 psi pull - the bit at the end is just blowing smoke and talking up the engine. Nelson is generally a bit coy and vague about these things, and often we don't see the numbers he claims. Look at a guy like Steve Morris, he would never claim 3000 hp unless the engine made 3100 and he had the proof. Have a look around the web and see what people who have had engines built by Nelson have to say about him and his business. Many are about as "pleased" as most who have had the dubious pleasure of forking over their money to John Hennessey. Not saying he's a fraud and a scam like Hennessey, just saying everything isn't as truthful, pink and fluffy in the wonderful world of NRE as they might would like to claim. Just my o2

[@robertohernandez9040]

How much $$$$$$$$$

[@MrWalkerds]

That's low enough to put in my 3rd gen 4runner.

[@djjones2723]

Yea it would take flight

[@kevinc9006]

149.99$....i mean 1499.00

[@stlchucko]

Will it pass emissions? That OBD2 nonsense is a pain in the dick to deal with when it don't want to pass.

[@keidicko]

That means your motor doesn't even do 500hp NA !

[@smilsmff]

lol Bolt on , To racing engine

[@smilsmff]

how many cheapskates came looking to make their camaro a 1000hp car with bolt on 80% most likely
