Okay boys and girls, it is time for some Engine 101. A gas engine creates power by igniting a mixture of gasoline and air inside the cylinder (a diesel combusts fuel by compressing the fuel/air mixture). The resulting explosion forces the piston down and turns the crankshaft. This spinning force is then sent through the transmission, to the drive wheels. If you want to create more power, you can feed a higher volume of air and fuel into the cylinder, which will cause a more powerful explosion. The air acts as a catalyst for the explosion, and to get more of it, you can use a forced induction system like a turbo or a supercharger. What’s the difference? Glad you asked…
Nissan’s Skyline is one of Japan’s greatest automotive achievements. It has become an icon and internationally recognizable even in regions where it was never sold.

Sadly, the Skyline GT-R is no longer in production, but it lives on as the GT-R in nearly every region of the world.
The Lamborghini Gallardo is one of the most popular platforms to make big power with. This Gallardo wasn’t exactly a slouch rolling out of the Lamborghini factory, but it’s truly amazing what can be achieved by attaching a few turbos to it. This first-generation Gallardo is making 1,800hp and put up a record-setting speed thanks to the work from OM Prestige and Heffner Performance.
