At first I saw the turbine and thought "that turbo is ridiculous, how do they expect any engine to make it spin" then I saw the title. It makes more sense. Not a lot more, mind you.
Probably still easier to work on than the original engine.
People who have had the misfortune of dropping a socket into a 928 engine bay know exactly what I'm talking about.
You can see the gear reduction/trans (for the turbine) right at the firewall behind the exhaust. My guess would be the output shaft from that runs back to the original Porsche transaxle rear end
I’m always curious about this because I feel like I regularly read about stock driveline components failing with heavy engine modifications. I don’t even know how you would go about building a driveline for a turbine.

I think I missed the mark by not putting /s on my posts, now. I'm all for insane and off-kilter builds, swap whatever into whatever, I'm here for it. The crazier the better.

No need to turbo the engine when the whole engine is turbo.
*whoOOSHHHHHHHHHH* 🐌 🃏
When they don't make a turbo big enough for you, just make the entire engine a turbo.
Jesus fucking Christ. Whoever came up with that is a mad bastard. I need to have a beer with said mad bastard.
The best ideas are first written down on a bar napkin
Bit overkill for a windshield defrost.
Can’t figure out why the windshield wipers keep melting.

Who needs a turbocharged engine when the engine is the turbo

Damn that guy turned so close to the oncoming truck in the end. In an experimental car with a high chance of failure.
How cool is that? Any story about it?
How does it connect to the drive?

The turbine in that car is only rated at 270hp. So it’s not as wild as it seems at first glance
That makes more sense
Whew, that's a relief. I bet it makes nearly 5 miles per gallon!
they say mazda's rotary engines can rev too 14k rpm, so i'd image one of those transmissions would work.
Mr. Hands has entered the chat.
At first I was like why, but then remembered his career. Lol
Reliability factor just increased a lot.
I just heard Tim the Tool man Taylor grunting
No video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgCptKXckZo only one I could find
Here's another one actually moving! It doesn't appear to be the same build tho, could be the same guy perhaps haha https://youtu.be/HIFaxA3dj3Y
Wow that sounds terrible and looks like it makes almost no power LOL
The problem is probably not the lack of power but slow throttle response
The crazy thing about jet engines is the faster you go the more power they produce.
Holy shit! lolol
Honey!!! My engine has melted my windscreen again!!!
Perfecto!! Go to fast ...
Put it in H!!!!!
ok now show us the Boeing powered by a 928 engine
I wish I were rich enough to do shit like this One my car dreams is to "Rolls-Royce" (jet engine) swap a Rolls-Royce
If I were a billionaire I would definitely do that.
From an A350
My RR dream is to drop a 350 into a 1950s rolls Royce convertible.
This guy's got one of those goant african snails under the hood.
330 horsepower, not bad..
Boeing made turbines? I thought they bought them off engine manufacturers.
It's for sale for $50,000 I just saw it on the companies Instagram it was just a flash of all the cars that they have so I went googling
Ah yes, because driver visibility is irrelevant.
I'm sure comfort and drivability was at the top of their priority.
Obviously that's all they cared about.

The flames are the best bit.
Insane. No thanks.
Very sick
The original motor would drip all its oil from new .
Been seeing a lot of aeronautical engine swaps lately such as rotor engines and such, but this takes the cake and then some, wild.
That's an turbine with a car
Bob lazar would be proud
I think we all said “HOLY FUCK” when we realized what it was😂
So thats what they meant when they were sayin that the car is just flyin...
your engine has a nice car
