That's a great deal for someone! Would cost more than double that money to build for sure!

That looks like a blast to drive, only I suspect I'd be eye level with the roof bars sitting in it. GLWS

Is the chassis painted or powder coated?

Re: Re: twin turbo rear engine buggy (mr. edd)

Chassis is still bare metal.

Scotch brite and wd40 works wounders. Although the plan was to tear it down and paint. But haven't had the time. Going to the dyno tomorrow.

Re: Re: twin turbo rear engine buggy (mr. edd)

had the buggy on a dyno today. it made 426hp and 450 torque at the rear wheels. had a hard time controlling boost. it kept over boosting so we could never let it go through the rpm range. i will be installing waste gates tomarrow and go back to the dyno thursday. shooting for about 12-15 psi. that should be close to 500hp at the wheels. we figure there is about a 200hp loss in the drive train. also we never got the fuel quite right along with the timing. should come to life thursday. i will try to get a video.
