Ep 40. 200-MPH Horsepower!

In this episode of Engine Masters season 3, the team is on a mission to build an engine that can push a car to 200 mph. They are focused on horsepower and looking for any way to maximize it. The team is testing out different parts and components to see which ones will give them the most power.

They start by testing out a carburetor and intake manifold combo that they believe will give them the biggest power boost. To test it out, they use a dynamometer to measure the horsepower and torque output. After a few runs, they discover that the new carburetor and intake manifold combo did give them a boost in power, but not enough to reach their 200 mph goal.

Next up, the team tries out a new set of cylinder heads that promise even more horsepower. They test it out on the dyno and get some impressive results. The new cylinder heads give them a significant power boost, but still not enough to reach their goal.

The team then starts to consider other methods of increasing horsepower. They turn to nitrous oxide, a powerful gas that, when combined with the right engine setup, can provide a huge boost in power. They install a nitrous oxide kit and take the car for a test run at the track. The nitrous proves to be the solution they have been looking for, as they finally hit their 200 mph goal.

But the work doesn't stop there. The team continues to fine-tune the engine to see how much more power they can squeeze out of it. They experiment with different camshafts, headers, and exhaust systems until they have exhausted all their options.

In the end, the team has built an engine that is capable of pushing a car to 200 mph. They have shown the importance of horsepower in achieving high speeds and the different components that can be used to maximize power output. The episode is a must-watch for any car enthusiast looking to learn more about engine building and horsepower.
