Pretty awesome to watch a video in a class and see the engine your dad helped build.

what class would that be?

oh and its 46* here now form the 65* last night

You can kiss my white ass.

Its 9* here now with a windchill of -2*.

and its cold here

Speaking of turbo engines. Was talking with dad the other day and he said the 4cyl they made for Oldsmobile was running 48psi of boost on it.

WTF?!?!

has to be an IndyCar engine, no?

It was the engine the Olds Quad 4 was based off of, it went in the 'Aerotech' prototype car, I think it set a land speed record of over 200mph.

...didn't even know that one was coming

Well shit. I guess even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally.

I read that as "bling frog" at first, and found it even more amusing

It was some BS engineering class that that we were watching a SAE video about engine design if I remember correctly.

Friggin LOL.

lol

the dorms need faster internet to keep up with u too

They also made shit like full magnesium oil pans for the Dodge Viper prototype with swinging arm oil pickups so it didn't starve in high g maneuvers.

i have to go to work in the morning

Dad just took a part time job with one of the AG companies here in the state helping build prototypes. Not sure I can say a whole lot more than that though .

meh, dry sump

Post pwnage right there.

the morning crew is going to hate us

Never was feasible for production reasons, but it was cool as hell from what he was saying.

Pfft, screw 'em. Night crew pwns.

yeah, I can see where there'd be reliability problems with it, but that's one hell of an ingenious idea

We haven't even burned up 10pages yet...

The stuff they use in jet planes is even cooler. Floating steel balls to plug holes in perforated baffles in order to keep the oil in its respective place.

nifty!

Where dad use to work his boss set a world record couple of years ago for benching 500lbs in the 60yr and older category! And with no steroids.

see, that's the shit they need to teach in engineering classes

how to actually solve problems

all we do is plug equations non-stop
