    It wasn’t long ago that 5200HP would have been seen as a reliably unattainable number from a 520ci V8, but those days are gone and Eric Dillard of Proline Racing (PLR) shares some of his knowledge with Andre on the path to these power levels, and what keeps engines like this together.
    Discussed is the maintenance and checks that are carried out anywhere from being between every run down the strip to every 40-45 runs depending on the part. The benefits of a billet block are also covered in detail including what happens when a rod breaks in a billet block and how it can be repaired compared to a cast aluminum block which might be able to handle the power fine, but will crack and turn into a large paperweight at the first sign of trouble.
    Eric also explains how the aluminium rods used will often only bend instead of breaking saving on time and other components in the event of failure. Wondering why you should use aluminium rods instead of steel rods at all? Watch to find out.

    Thanks Andre, this was another top level interview with a youngman who really knew his stuff! Appreciate you covering the fact that aluminium rods have that give to act as a designed weakpoint to save against more catastrophic damages. Also the tidbit about a forged rod bending before it will break was insightful. Great choice of interview as well, Proline being so world famous and on the bleeding edge as Eric described. E Kanoo use their engines so that goes to show the level of customer/racer this company caters to.

      @Chris_Harris 5 лет назад +10

      @@turbochard7355 First, they ASSUME it's 10,000 for a top fuel. Theres not even a hub dyno that can handle an instant 10,000HP hit so they don't even know. It's a scientific formula that takes all the variables and spits out a number of 10,000-12,000HP.
      Why is it so powerful? Nitromethane has like an 8:1 advantage over 116 race gas in explosive potential. It takes a really hot engine to make it burn which is why they start their engines with Methanol (alcohol) that burns very easily yet still makes the power they need to keep the engine healthy. They NEED that nitromethane after the start...not just for its power but because it cools the engine. Short of oil passages to moving parts, there's nothing cooling that engine other than the blower when they launch and that air ain't cool for very long nor does it cool anything other than an intake valve and a cylinder.
      The result? On the starting line right when they hit the gas, there is INSTANT 10,000 HP if they hold the tires down. (that 5,000HP engine would NEVER be able to generate 5,000HP off the hit without exploding/busting the tires loose...even if they put a top fuel blower on top of it.). A TF/FC engine NEEDS to idle at about 1000HP to keep the nitromethane burning which is why they sit idling and spitting unburned nitromethane on the start line at a high rate. (they burn about 17 gallons of 90% nitro meth/10% Methanol in a single run(burnout etc which is damn near a full gas tank worth of gas on a regular car.). I believe just the roots blower they use needs 500hp just to spin it as I recall.
      They can't use a traditional clutch. They use about 9 plates that over a run get so hot that they physically weld themselves together. That's a new set of clutch plates every single run taken out of the car by a guy with a very thick set of gloves. So that's 1000HP to 10,000HP in a split second. The end result of that is they use a block about once every 15 runs TOPS, any cracks or not, they just pull it out and sell them down the line to less aggressive Hemi users or send them to be reforged into new blocks of aluminum so they can mill another block. Not rods or other high energy parts...some of them get 6-10 runs tops.
      With that 5,000HP Hemi (which only shares the name with a top fuel Hemi because the TF needs a whole lot of extra reinforcement on to keep it from blowing up the aluminum Hemi block needs to have). It idles at a next to no HP. It just sits there gurgling with enough idle and hp to keep a type of gas(116 octane) that would probably burn if you looked at it wrong to keep burning or there's a Methanol(alcohol) version for a lot of cars too but it depends on the race rules. The end result of that you need cooling(not as much for the Methanol) and a bunch of other systems that suck HP out of that engine.
      On the line, every power adder, nitrous, turbo, procharger or screws(the guys with the huge hats on top of their engines with the butterflies) has to try to replicate those NHRA beasts that suck a room full of air into the engine in literally seconds. They obviously can't due to regulations and physical limits of parts. Even a 5000HP car could NEVER accept a portion of the power a TF/FC engine blips in their power supressed burnouts let alone a starting line race launch.
      And now the point of this post. That 5000HP Hemi is WAY different than a top fuel/funny car Hemi in every way other than the hemispherical heads. Most of all, when someone pushes the button, not only would that head explode if they tried 5000HP through it from almost zero but they'd bust the tires loose every single time. They start off with as much power as they think they can put down and not spin and then it slowly works its way up to 5000 down the run as you can add more and more power without spinning the tires (if you can even make that car do 5000 up to 1000ft or even 1320 feet). What the 5000 does do is it gives you the POTENTIAL for 5000 and with a regular car without a $50,000 carbon fiber body of a funny car with all the other things built to allow the car to do as much of 10,000HP as possible off the line. It should be mentioned that with turbos that engine might start at 1500HP but it would take the slow build up of exhaust going down a run for it to build to 5000HP(if they could make that much with the amount of time they need to build boost safely before the race ends).
      It's why you see a turbo car chase a blower or nitrous car down at the end. Nitrous/Blower car has all the power the engine can do for a good part of the run, the turbo cars slowly build and surpass the power of the blowers/nitrous as the turbos spin faster/generate more boost which means they can add more gas. That's really the point of the power adders. More air means more gas means more explosion means faster car. I chance to bet that the Proline Hemi can't do 5k HP with a blower or nitrous or it would explode with the instant power application. Turbos nicely caress an engine faster and faster as the exhaust of the engine gets higher and higher so the faster you go, the faster you can go.
      And yes I'm a turbo guy...unlike Prochargers and screw blowers(which can steal 150HP from an engine just to spin them because the engine itself has to power them), turbos are run from the exhaust. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Burn your fuel and THEN you use the exhaust from that burned fuel to spin the turbos faster and faster to push more air into your engine so you can burn even more fuel and make even more exhaust. It uses next to no HP from your engine and by the end of a race, as the man said, you could be putting 80 pounds of boost in your engine with a turbo.
      80 pounds of boost from a Blower? The first three lines of seating at a race event would be catching hot pieces of aluminum and trying to juggle them until they cooled down when the engine blew up. Enough nitrous into an engine to general 80 pounds of oxygen(nitrous breaks down mostly into pure oxygen when you heat it. They spray as much as an engine will allow into the engine and hope it doesn't burn something or burst a burst plate or just plain blow the intake off the top of the car. If they did 80 pounds worth of boost off the hit and it would both heat the cylinders/plugs to like 1500 degrees AND THEN it would explode parts into the first three rows of seating. Maybe people could play "try not to get burned by the spark plugs now sitting in their hands".
      WHEW sorry for the book. There's probably some inaccuracies or outright lies in there but it's most of the science for you.

    How long before we see carbon fiber connecting rods in this kind of application? Being able to lay up carbon to provide the lengthwise cushioning of aluminium but with much higher yield strength, thread holding ability, fatigue resistance and significantly lower bob weight sounds like the perfect application for carbon.

That's why I'm thinking maybe for this level of racing it may be good because from what little I understand about race fuels, they tend to burn at much lower temp so it should reduce over all engine temp during the combustion cycle at lease (I think) and keep the rods safer running ridiculous power levels like he was saying. I'm definitely not an expert but hopefully we start seeing more carbon rods in the near future and see what they can do.

      The basic architecture is still 426 HEMI. From the bore spacing, to the intake/exhaust spacing, the dual shaft rockertrain, plug location, chamber shape, pan rail, distributor location, cross-bolted mains, etc., etc. The ONLY engine that plays in this league that still maintains that many similarities to the original design.

      The hemi Mopar head is of a cross flow design...the LS head is an inline, or what is commonly a "reverse flow" design, that is, the intake/exhaust charge has to change direction as it moves across the piston in the chamber. With the Mopar hemi type or a cross flow type head, the charge goes straight thru. The result here, is that the hemi yields a much higher level of volumetric efficiency, hence the hemi design will also be able to create far higher levels of horsepower. The LS is OK, but is not in the same league as the hemi..

      Even a solid billet 6Al4v, called grade 5 titanium, would never be as hard as a steel block. Titanium has a yeild strength of 150kpsi heat treated and hardness of about Rockwell 39c. That's about as hard as stainless cutlery.
      A billet d2 tool steel block however has a yield strength of over 230kpsi and a surface hardness of up to Rockwell 62c when heat treated. Even annealed it is still nearly as hard and tough as titanium at its maximum. The problem with steel is the weight and with titanium is the tooling to cut it and the cost.
      Aluminum that they use for these blocks in nowhere near as strong, only 23kpsi yield, it is much more walkable, much easier to marching, has a density 60% that of titanium and 40% that of steel and takes shapes better.because it can be cut after.heat treatment. Both titanium and steel would have to be.heat treated after machining and would probably not survive the kiln.
      There as very few aluminum engine blocks that have iron or steel bedplates that are a main bearing girdle that the headstuds anchor into as well.
      There are several exotic aluminum alloys that really come close to 100kpsi yield but they suffer the same fate as titanium. Harder to marching, hard to weld, not as dimensionally stable at temperature.
      Even before the exotic materials ban, take a look at what f1 used for engine blocks and it will be some aerospace aluminum alloy billet block and maybe forged head but prob billet. It just works, and works well.
