Houston binkley Theres alot more playing into it in a actual race. Load variates during the race which can change the way the engine acts.. Also oil gets slung, air quality deteriorates, heats different, all sorts of things
@@naterockwell7735 And yet here we are. Nothing comes out of his shop, and none of all his grand ideas ever came to fruition. Yep, he did the Turbonetics knock-off mirror turbos, and that was it. Meanwhile, Morris and several others are winning races, coming out with new ideas, new products and what not. Tom always talked a lot and made bold claims. But as they say, empty cans rattle the most...
As a machinist I got really excited and inspired by this video. I've been a car enthusiast my whole life and a machinist for 15 years. This is some seriously cool designing.
Over the years...I’ve watched every single video Tom has produced. I feel his creations are unique in that though they’re ultimately designed to produce stupid power. His special brand of form follows function philosophy produces truly show quality results...inside and out !!
@@cherb23 NRE is a has-been. Plenty of others do what he does and do it better. NRE was not first, and nor are they winning any races anywhere. And as far as power goes, when was the last time you saw an NRE engine produce the claimed numbers? There's a ton of him dynoing twin turbo motors, and yet they always fall way short of what he claims in the title. Tom always bragged a lot and talked a big game, but like they say, empty cans rattle the most. Today SME made 3080 hp on a 427 on 38 lbs. of boost. Tom seem to struggle to get a 632 to make 2200 on 32 lbs. Moran, Noonan, Goodwin, Morris, Reher-Morrison, Shafiroff and others are running circles around NRE.
Tom, You are a true inspiration to me! My dad was a motorhead and owned a Mopar dealership back in the late 60s early 70s. Passed his love of muscle cars along to me. I remember buying small 12V electric fans, fabricating a new intake, and installing my new "superchargers" on my 2-stroke dirtbike at age 10. I would mess with the jets, fuel mixture, ALL DAY LONG! I swear it made more horsepower than stock :) I can smell the Turbo Blue now. I love your enthusiasm and extreme level of knowledge. Of all the so-called "big name" builders, there are several points in your video I've never heard ANYONE else mention. Best of all, everything you say is backed up by rigorous testing, and REAL WORLD horsepower numbers, NOT marketing HYPE! Thanks for keeping it real Tom and being a great example of a true American!
Jet boats are hell on motors. I grew up with them and it killed my dad to see me swap to outboard boats. Mainly cause i wanted to run 100 for miles instead of feet. You have worked some magic to run a boosted motor that hard. Lots of guys in that class run turbine motors to handle those long runs. Yall have got this stuff dialed in for sure.
@ he was saying boosted inboards are not reliable, off shore racing proves they are🤷. I like outboards too now. My dad had a 225 Johnson on a little 18ft laser bass boat with tunnel hull under it. The only thing in the water was the foot and sometimes that back of boat a little. It would run well over a 100 never had it clocked in but he raced Allison craft with a 300 v8 Mercury outboard and beat him bad. He would start out from mill Creek on lake Marion and run to I95 bridge and back total of twelve miles. He would start out with a full 46 gallon tank and be on fumes when he got back. He literally never lost a race with that boat. Although he never raced in any professional races🤔 just long distance straight top speed runs. You could see him all the way to the bridge with rooster tail you could only stop hearing him about a mile from the i95 bridge which is right at six miles from mill creek
I have massive mechanical sympathy and I'm a mechanic and worked on engines for 30 years so I know what engines go thru when they run hard . seeing the parts he put in this engine I have no problem watching this one scream for 10 minutes it will eat it up. like they say let her eat
"Very Professionally Presented" thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am in hopes that this project begins you hundreds of new customers. Mad Respect
He's nowhere near a god. Better builders than him. Boat engines that run for long periods on dynos? Eddie Young, Tommy over @ Chief, Randy @ Cobra, or Sterling Performance, not to mention a slew of other guys have been doing it in offshore racing for years. Try running a 1600 hp blown 588 like this for over an hour and do the same in the open seas later on. Now that's a real test.
@@AB-80X yeah there's always someone better. And you can't deny that Mr Nelson has done shit with ls engines that others can't come close too. I was complimenting the mans skill set. I didn't say he's the best boat engine builder.
I miss the days of Tom before the accident and the painkillers and the destroyed back......fuck man, my best friend and I would analyze and break down so many of his videos for years. Hope your doing well Tom, we love you and miss you dude.
watched that full dyno run twice speakers cranked. nearly midnight. bad luck neighbors This build is straight up kicking goals. having the experience to see the things that hold the design back then engineer parts to overcome and push the boundaries puts you so far ahead its almost cheating. its a true credit to all of you involved. that health check is proof that its reliable and repeatable. watching this channel like a hawk
Really like how you open you are. I don't think top engine builders are gaining any clients by keeping their secret spec cards so close to their chest. Like someone could easily do all that stuff in their garage anyway. I really appreciate you democratizing cool info. Way to go Tom you're cool as hell.
The 520ci Chevy is the go to basis of river racing and river waterski racing here in Australia. Most builds result in 1600 HP but they are built to run four race weekends. A lot are now using Mercury Racing 1350's that come in an engine package and MR do the rebuilds. They are guaranteed at 8000rpm for 20 hours. You have one in the boat and one at MR being rebuilt for $130k. A good twin turbo 520 will run you $80k. These boats are good for 150 mph and 140 with two skiers. They just put a 120mph speed limit on them to give you half a chance to live if you fall off.
@@danielsullivan9865 I mentioned Kenny to some young guys and they were like Kenny who. I normally don't stretch out a lead but I had to put a couple of bus lengths on them for laughing at my " stage 2 Buick". They assumed it was like how guys say they have a stage 2-3 setup these days and I heard them laughing saying how they'll smoke grandpas stage 2 setup from the 90's. I'm only 38 and they were punks with a pos LS turbo thinking they where fast so I didn't feel bad for taking their $1500 worth of lunch money for the year that the 4 of them put up lol. The best part was when they googled Kenny Duttweiler and stage 2 Buick they actually had the balls to try and get their money back because I had a true fully built race motor. If they weren't punks I might've given most of it back, but they needed some schooling ;-) Plus I showed and told them exactly what it was although they didn't notice the AWD ;-) But it's a Sonoma GT on a back halved Olds Bravada frame running a Frankenstein trans out of a Trailblazer SS behind the Stage 2 Buick that Kevin Banks originally built for a Busch series car and Kenny rebuilt and converted to EFI and turbo for me. It's crazy what a new ECU, injectors and tune has done for it though. I haven't changed anything else and the modern Haltec Elite 2500 and E85 has dropped over 2 seconds from my old best time.
I've been around cars most of my life and this right here hits on everything I've always been drawn too. Incredible craftsmanship, technology, engineering, all resulting in incredible results. Thanks for sharing and PLEASE do more like this. I could watch this stuff ALL DAY

There's a lot of external load forces being applied to every component of a race boat motor. Take into consideration the slamming the boat gets every time it hits a wave, that transfers into the engine components also, or an over rev condition when the prop comes out of the water. Not like a smooth black top surface. This engine is a masterpiece. Keep us updated as to how it faired out in compitition.
To watch videos of Nelson ripping down the road in one of his mirror image turbo creations, he seems like just really cool, badass, wrench turnin mechanic. Then he breaks it all down and you realize this dude is a certified geeked out Genius🙏
A friends dad (Mr, Daryl Buhel) was a winning Top Fuel engine builder from the beginning & was one of the first to run a all aftermarket engine (by Ed Donovan) ... I learned so much from him & he was spraying the under side of the pistons through rifle drilled connecting rods on a custom Aluminum BBC 540 twin turbo designed for aircraft.... I notice both of you have a "common sense" , no substitution for the proper material.. He smiled as so many in the industry "followed the other guy", and his saying was (NO FAIR THINKING). Doing things because "others do it" will get you where they are. The way you (NRE) approach the build should get you records, & wins if the rest of the build is up to par...
Thank you so much for these videos I know you dont have to do these and especially not these in depth technical videos. It really helps me being a younger guy get the full picture and understand.

I want to start a savings account just so I can come attend your tuner school someday! Love the videos Tom. Always appreciate how much info you share with us.
Wouldn't really work well n/a. That's why land speed racers and such just kill 2 cylinders and run on 6 instead of running such a small stroke. Doesn't make enough compression.
i spend 75% of my life around Inconel. I work at the company that invented it years ago. Inconel from International Nickel company. Inco now SMC owned my Berkshire now. Maybe Mr. Buffet will want to sponsor a good ole turbo ls and let me borrow some 751 lol
As usual another first from Tom Nelson you are truly inspiring always pushing the envelope in developing new technology in engineering .a true engine artist hats off to you brother no one builds a more badass engine than Tom Nelson.
wow. just wow. I'm sure a specific machine shop mecca down south has taken note of this build.....Tom, you are a badass for sure. I have never seen anything like it, since I learned of the boss 302 heads welded together and mounted on a 300 CI inline 6 Ford. Which also, was WAY before my time.
I can't quit looking at that polished aluminum shop fan on the bench behind him!!! Id say it will probably circulate air around the whole shop pretty well
As I said after seeing the first video on this combo, Damn Tom !!!!!! Well done. You and your team continue to impress. The engineering,WOW !! But alas, now we need some new bad ass street test videos. Please!!!
Yeah , don’t think this would be a good idea for the street anyway. This one is purely custom and small displacement. His 427 tt hot rod series is seriously bad ass and nearly perfect.
I'm not giving up on this dude. Until you come back. Or at least reply and tell me to get lost, I'm guna bug you Mr.Nelson. Im pissed you've gone quiet at the peak of your industry. Literally the baddest engine builder on the planet, let's a bunch of goofballs get the spotlight. I will have a NRE engine at some point. Preferably built by you for me. Come back big guy, miss your vids and expertise.
Nerves off steel!! How do you keep the dyno water cool enough? You must have a very large tank. Un-fricken- belivable !!! Hats off !! In fact, when I watch your videos from now on, I will take my hat off beforehand...
Tom I miss your videos. As an engineer myself, I love the engineering shown with your builds. I also love your lingo, bitchin, cherry, etc.

Tom idk if you will see my comment but i really love your videos man. even seen a few of ur engines in some LODRS drag racing on drag racer tv.
All I can say is that is one hell of test!!! Awesome job 👍
Awesome camera angle and sound recording this engine has a magnificent sound, thanks for sharing buddy much appreciated.
I'm not giving up on this dude. Until you come back. Or at least reply and tell me to get lost, I'm guna bug you Mr.Nelson. Im pissed you've gone quiet at the peak of your industry. Literally the baddest engine builder on the planet, let's a bunch of goofballs get the spotlight. I will have a NRE engine at some point. Preferably built by you for me. Come back big guy, miss your vids and expertise.
Love listening to you talk ls!
I heard every rotation. Glorious.
Thank you for the knowledge!!!!! Means a lot to guys like me that don't know ish'!
Tom, Why you dont publish videos any more?
Yeah..make more videos
Your builds are awesome brother
Excellent Video , Love to learn ! , Tom is the Master Instructor , Thanks Tom !
Any updates on how the engine has done in comp?
Nerves off steel!! How do you keep the dyno water cool enough? You must have a very large tank. Un-fricken- belivable !!! Hats off !! In fact, when I watch your videos from now on, I will take my hat off beforehand...
👏👏 I expect nothing less....How much to replicate this motor combo..just the motor.
