Power - JCB WFT Fastrac, the World's Fastest Tractor

This episode covers the 'power' element of the project to build The World's Fastest Tractor - JCB's Guinness World Records Fastrac #JCBWFT.

We increased the power of the Fastrac’s 6 cylinder, 284hp engine by fitting a JCB 672 engine with over 1,016hp and over 2,500Nm of torque, creating the extra performance we needed.

- It has a hybrid boost system with a 350% increase in airflow, larger turbo and electrically driven supercharger
- Water injection was used to cool combustion and aid piston cooling
- We gave it a 230% increase in boost pressure and 165% increase in engine speed to 3,300rpm
- A massive 2500 bar fuel pump, bigger inlet manifolds and an ice water charged air cooler were also added
