170 MPH is fast. 170 MPH in a 1/4 is insane. 170 MPH in a 1/4 in that car? That would be like 340 MPH in a 1/4 now days. What engineers those men were.
Balls of steel is understatement 😂 WTF were they eating/ drinking/ sniffing back then😮 everyone knows drugs were readily available to all in those days but c’mon😅 j/k I love 30s to 70s, so so much “let’s do this!” instead of “should we do this?” attitude😊 Craziness and awesome to research how almost every mechanical new idea is really a reworking of old rebels/ psycho/ hero, etc. speed freaks 😂 ❤I love humanities quest for “we need more Power baby” 😅
Draw through then carb in a box, fuel pressure issues, lean conditions. Here in the 2020's there really is no better example- hindsight really is twenty twenty, if only we knew then what we know now.
It's so cool to see Turbochargers in their infancy! It also puts into perspective where the biases about turbo's from the older generations come from. It's just crazy how for turbo technology has come. And 172mph trap speed in a 60's drag car must've been scary as hell!
My cousin helped "Crew" the Mallicott Bros cars. The Mallicotts went on to advise Chrysler on the Omni GLH program and other performance engineering projects.
Jim Kramer (Kramer Automotive Specialitys) outside of Pittsburgh has a BUNCH of parts from the Turbo Honker in his possession as well as a Turbouniques dragster ... not to mention the best unrestored '68 Hemi Barracuda in the world... along with a incredible collection of factory Mopar drag cars... WAIT! It gets better! He would love to show all of it to you! If you are in the Pittsburgh area, give the Kramer family a call...
@brianlohnes3079 please follow up on this with the Jim interview! Such an amazing story, and I'd love to know where it all is currently! This needs to be saved!
Well from a seat myself, I was driving, then I felt the front end stabilize, at a glance to the speedometer coming by 170mph. So I was over 200 on one tire. 3 gears and I'm done now!! Hair still stands, wow
That beast had to be maybe the wildest ride in drag racing back then, lol. I've been fascinated with turbocharhing since the 80s and Im still using them. A true piece of pioneering engineering in drag racing! Man, that had to be crazy to drive!
@@brianlohnes3079 thanks i didn't know about this moparty history 👍 , was worried about going to car show's/ect and being acceptable to run big block 383 ( stolen/dead, frankenstined/welded-up+moded hemi is it's replacement along with a manual transmission TR6070 dropout ) or hemi-4.5"stroker and yes kinda trying to get my charger to look period-ish correct for pre-1976/2-owners ( or a prototype program for the upcoming 1970 model year ), didn't realise that im copying somewhat of the 1960-70's engineering-teams car as i though that parts of my car/build was cheating-ish for a drag/trans-AM/daily ( imperial interior design theme aka interior by imperial-brand ) theme mostly im trying not to care about others as it's my car and im not flipping it for sale 😉 but still seeing this and the 300C fuely's ect makes me feel better about my choices after being influenced by my friends/millennial's+zoomers and my family, by youngest sibling love's JDM-90's and up car's and turbocharging and BEV's
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the work of these pioneers! And thanks for this video it was a great story! this car is definitely inspiring!
Great story, Brian! The amount of engineering that went into the early cars of the sport is just mind boggling, considering the technology they had at the time. Also, as a modern racer who tries to stay on top of connections and networking in the industry with the luxuries of the internet, I could not imagine the leg work that went into chasing down industry contacts at that day and age.
Back in the day it was easier. Now a days you gotta deal with a computer. Fuck modern everything tech and safety has ruined racing it has literally lost its soul. We need to teach our children right and doing so is teaching em the fact that gas is better than electrical hybrid
Back in the 1950s saw a Studabaker in one of the car mags. It had a turbo mounted under the floor board with a hatch cut to access it. Not many could figure what it was. One could say it was a first rear mounted turbo.
Drag racing enthusiasts DO understand that forced induction has been a top option since the pioneering days, but turbonetics in the early days isn't something that the majority will be aware of. My most humble respect to you for the METICULOUS research it took to put an enlightening, captivating and satisfyingly stimulating reference doc together. Why am I just now hearing about you? Liked, subscribed and waiting for more from you... My notifications are set.
I love listening to your history lessons, Brian. This was another great story and reminds me a bit about all the research I did to twin turbocharge my 318ci '69 Dart over here in Holland. Back then, around the year 2000, people were telling me it wasn't a good idea and especially not if you plan on drag racing it. I went and built it anyway and now, 23 years later look at all the turbocharged cars at the strip. Been a while since I've seen and spoke to you (Drag Week 2016 when I brought my own '69 Camaro). Cheers Alain.
This is quickly becoming my favourite UA-cam channel, thanks for doing this, and I look forward to your upcoming videos. Always a wealth of information and knowledge, and a real knack for delivering it in an entertaining way.
I like how you start out saying people think that these turbos are just something that came about lately. Everything has already been around for decades and decades its cool to know the pioneers😅
This to me is the essence of "hot rodding. " Thanks to these pioneers, we can buy off the shelf components that have been engineered for specific applications and bolt them on and go. I'd rather cut, weld and fabricate existing factory parts when and where I can, like they did back then. What a great example of hot rodding, thanks for sharing❤
Brian, you've got an unshakeable commitment to the authenticity of drag racing history. Great research, writing, and delivery! I thought I knew a fair bit of even the most obscure drag history, but I'm always learning more here on your channel.
i bought a turbonics kit in 1975.. shocking increase in torque in my 301 camaro! first time i let out the clutch, to switch bays for the project was mindblowing...never forget that momentof thrill.. slower times at the drag strip tho...could not get enough traction,even with a 3:08 rear ratio!
A lifetime or two ago, I actually witnessed the hemi Honker at the Dover dragstrip in New York! It was a beast I don’t remember it being a turbo charged car, I think it was just a big block all out, funny car painted in bright orange! As I recall, it ran as an AFX car.
I did my first turbo install in 1976 and blew the engine in about two weeks (if some boost is better more boost is good!). By 1977 I was back in the game, I was hooked! Over the years since, I've fabricated a few installs and currently drive a few turbo vehicles.
Thanks for the history lessons Brian! They are great. In the 60's my bedroom walls were wallpapered with all the photos of these great cars out of the like of Hot rod Mag, etc. The good old days of racing. Cheers.
I'm not amazed at the story as much as the knowledge and passion that Brian puts into this. I am amazed that only 12k (around that) are subbed. Truly shocking.
Been getting a lot of recommendations for your channel in my feed lately. Guess UA-cam wants me to subscribe, so i did. ;) The production value on your content is excellent. I hope your videos continue to get recommended far and wide. You deserve 10 times the subs you have now, and even more views! Keep up the fantastic work! Cant wait to see what history you being to us next!
Definitely a lot of behind the scenes "research and development" was used here. I weld for the R&D side of my plant and I've had many conversations about turbos and turbines. it's cool to see the photos and you killed it on the voice over. tons of info. thanks for sharing
There is alot more then a piece or two of the turbo honker left. A ton of that was in my collection for a short time. It was not made from the "Hemi Honker" car. Kramer now has everything that I had from the car including many of the original body parts in original paint. "The Honker" the red 1964 max wedge hardtop car was used to build the car. Thanks for the video coverage. There were also 2 different sets of turbos used on the car during the year and the water intercoolers were scrapped early on from the project as they did not assist much.
A fascinating story, I can remember we'd ride our bikes out to watch 'The Honker' and crew roll into the Big Boys on Telegraph south of Plymouth Rd.....waay back in 1965. After they had raced at the now (long defunct) Detroit Dragway. Bud Fauble & Jim Thornton, Roger Lindamood were my heros. May they all RIP.

running 10s in the 60s is wild, that blue Willy's must have been fast as hell, my dads 700hp c6 does about a 11.2 with street tires and slipping clutch
BRIAN , you may not be very well known in Australia but one person that is , or was well known in the land of OZ is Casey Kasem , to me you are the drag racing equivalent of Casey , thanks mate , you make drags informative and exiting
427ci, 7-1 compression, 35psi on twin 140mm turbines at 160mph, 100% mechanical (which is why it couldnt build boost on the brakes). It is going to go unnoticed that modern transmissions deserve like 60% of the credit for how far racing has come. And rear ends were a biproduct of transmission r&d. And tyres.. dont forget the tyre wars.
Another great history lesson Brian! Gary Mallicoat taught me to Tig weld in the early 90’s. To say the man was sharp would be an understatement. Plus, his totally stock looking late model Dodge pick up had nitrous. Lunch runs were fun!
I had a 74 dart with a slant 6. As long as you had it floored, it kept picking up speed. It would get up to about 90, and sort of top out around 100, but it would slowly but surely keep picking up speed.
Making more than 720 HP which was an incredible figure for drum brakes
Haha
lol - not only are you ripping of all the hoses and fittings from where you work - you're getting your employer to pay your buddies at work to make them. Gotta love it
Well hell that's just typical home project economics...I prefer to call it morality enhancement. Everyone loves a good home project...haha

Balls of steel.

Balls of steel is understatement 😂
WTF were they eating/ drinking/ sniffing back then😮 everyone knows drugs were readily available to all in those days but c’mon😅 j/k
I love 30s to 70s, so so much “let’s do this!” instead of “should we do this?” attitude😊
Craziness and awesome to research how almost every mechanical new idea is really a reworking of old rebels/ psycho/ hero, etc. speed freaks 😂
❤I love humanities quest for “we need more Power baby” 😅
Very cool story. I can’t imagine the hurdles they had building a car like this back then. I thought it was tough 20 years ago.
Same here, turbocharging 240sx and CRXs back in 2000 era took some creativity! We felt like we were breaking new ground lol
Oh hey bud I just watched y'all's last video. You killed it at the burnout contest! You sent it and destroyed them casings
No doubt, what an incredible video. Those guys were the future!
Draw through then carb in a box, fuel pressure issues, lean conditions. Here in the 2020's there really is no better example- hindsight really is twenty twenty, if only we knew then what we know now.
@@FredAllenBurge Try turbocharging for less than $250 if you want that feeling back.

more than twice as fast than most people have *ever* driven a car, even a modern car. that's not "scary", that's straight-up suicidal.
My cousin helped "Crew" the Mallicott Bros cars. The Mallicotts went on to advise Chrysler on the Omni GLH program and other performance engineering projects.
I've never heard of them working on the project, just shelby, including the turbo caravans. Anywhere to find what they did with the glh.
Very cool. Smart men , no onboard computer , no electronics. No data recovery.
I can only imagine how mind-blowing that was to see or drive back then.
Super cool to see the old A/W intercooler!
In our pulling truck pre intercooler temps are 600+ and our post intercooler temps are ~40!
Wow!!!
What are you using to cool it - CO2 or liquid nitrogen? With a temperature drop like that, you couldn't do it with water
