So I had my Lancia serviced at this shop.After talking with the shop owner multiple times I asked him whats in the other building,why is it locked.He looked at me and said that's where MY toys are.I said lets see it.
Well we walked in,couldnt see much just like5-6 cars at the end of restoration project.
He pointed out a fiat 2000,nice blood orange colored one.
He said this here is almost finished and is going back to italy.I didnt see anything special about it until he popped the hood.
Well there it was the tiny 4 banger.How could this possibly deliver over 400 hp??
The explanation is simple,according to him. gasoline+liquid oxygen+nitrogen
Liquid oxygen was in the engine bay,nitrogen tank in the trunk,had a 5 speed radiator fan as engine bay temperatures can reach 600 F,all the wiring was replaced with airplane wiring,no color codes,just numbered white wires.The engine looked like it was twin plugged??They were running extremely high voltage tens of thousands.
He was telling me about engine,cant remember much.Wanted to take a couple of pictures,but obviously couldnt.
Ill try it next time.
I taught it was an interesting story to share.
Any feedback welcomed
