Summary

If you haven't heard of BBI, they make some of the fastest Porsches on Earth, from GT2s to Taycans and everything in between. They built the 1,400HP (!) engine for Ken Block's crazy PPIHC car -the Hoonipigasus- and were instrumental in the design, assembly, and management of that car. They've also built and managed racing and hill-climb programs for a number of other cars, including breaking Pikes Peak Time Attack record in 2019 by over 14 seconds. ⁠ ⁠ On this show we talk about building cars with 4-digit power; why Porsche oil changes can take 3 hours; the pink pig; and more! ⁠ Recorded December 20, 2022 Head to https://www.factor75.com/tire60 and use code tire60 to get 60% off your first box.

0:17.0

Right.

0:18.0

It doesn't need to be efficient.

0:19.0

I've full throttle.

0:20.0

What it needs to do is longevity, thermal management, you know, so that's what happens.

0:24.2

You're stopped, when you're cruising, it's actually circulating more of the water up front

0:28.0

in the radiators, keeping this batch of nice cool water and trickling in the cool water

to keep it at its operating range.

And there's four sensors, five sensors in that car, I believe, temp sensors, just to watch

what the temperature is doing throughout.
