096 - Power and Speed - Wild Bill Devine of Bullseye Turbochargers

Author: Readington Digital February 13, 2017 Duration: 1:19:12

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio.

Another week, and more research.  This really is the most important part of building a car, the planning process.  Mike has been obsessed with learning every aspect of this and he is non stop both on and off the air.  Just ask Tom, he ignores him all day.  

Now no one could ever say cars don't go fast without turbochargers.  There are plenty of very fast cars out there running around without them and turbos are by no means a requirement for going fast.  BUT, if you are trying to make something that can essentially go from mild to wild, you can't go wrong with turbocharging.

Wild Bill Devine of Bullseye Turbo Charging is tonights guest.  Bill has been in this game a long time, and there is really no need to go over the history of his racing involvement.  Bill sets Mike straight on expectations, sizing, and behavior he can expect from properly sized and specd turbos.  Ball bearing, inducer/impeller size, compressor housing, and exhaust turbine all play into getting the right units for the job.  Listen in as the guys hash through this with Bill, he's always a great guest and he is welcome back on whenever he wants.

Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com.  Call in number 908 751 0211.  Live callers welcome, and this will be the line for giveaways.

Hosted by Mike, Tom, and Tad, The Power and Speed Podcast digs into the raw, unfiltered world of automotive performance, where those two concepts reign supreme. This isn't a polished studio show; it's a garage conversation that roams wherever the scent of racing fuel leads. One week, the discussion might dissect the engineering behind blistering runs at the Texas Mile, and the next, it could drop you into the gritty, spontaneous atmosphere of local street and grudge racing scenes. The podcast regularly features voices from across the racing spectrum, from top-tier professional drivers to the master builders behind the engines and chassis that make extreme performance possible. You'll hear technical debates, personal stories from the track, and passionate explorations of whatever racing subject has the hosts' attention that week. Brought to you by Readington Digital, each episode is built for those who understand that in the pursuit of going faster, the details-and the people-are everything. Tune in for a genuine, wide-ranging take on the culture and mechanics of speed.
