Automotive Modifications Can Take Regular Vehicles to Extraordinary Power Levels. An Enthusiast Decided to Push the Limits by Installing 17 Turbos in His Truck, Resulting in an Amazing 38,000 Horsepower, a Feat That Impresses the Automotive World.
A resident of the U.S. state of Indiana decided to take an automotive experiment to the extreme. Cody Detwiler, known online as WhistlinDiesel, installed 17 turbos in his truck to achieve an absurd power of 38,000 horsepower.
The outcome, however, was predictable. Everything was documented in a video that is available on YouTube with audio in Portuguese.
The Radical Experiment
Cody is famous for conducting extreme tests on vehicles. Before the modification, the truck was tested with 397 horsepower.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

With a 1.0 engine producing 75 hp and costing less than R$ 70,000, Fiat’s car returns to the podium as the cheapest in the country; a temporary promotion for the 2026 Like version reduces the price of the Fiat Mobi.
-
With a mild hybrid system of 48 V, 176 hp and a price of R$ 175,990 in the Sahara version, the new Jeep Renegade changes mostly on the inside, improves slightly in fuel consumption, and remains almost the same car.

With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.
The team expected either an impressive power gain or a mechanical disaster.
This time, he designated his team for the task, as he was unable to participate directly. The goal? “To Reach 1 Trillion Horsepower“, joked Cody himself.
The team worked to turn the truck into something that defied logic.
Visually Absurd Result
The addition of the 17 turbos resulted in an impressive outcome. The vehicle caused astonishment, leading even a commentator to claim it looked like something generated by artificial intelligence.
With the turbos activated, the truck instantly reached 15 pounds per square inch of boost. However, not everything went as planned.
Functionality Issues
Right at the beginning of the tests, the truck began to emit thick smoke. Visibility was compromised, making driving dangerous.
Amid the chaos, the brake line was accidentally cut, a problem that seems to be recurring in WhistlinDiesel’s experiments.
Despite this, the team still considered the test a success, as the vehicle remained operational for some time.
Unexpected Fire?
The truck eventually caught fire. But, considering Cody’s experiment history, few were surprised.
The test ended in a predictable manner, confirming the risks of extreme modifications to vehicles.
Even after this outcome, the team still had time to hold a competition between the smallest and largest truck in the group. The unusual challenge was yet another highlight of the experiment.
The case reinforces the limits of automotive engineering and the risks of extreme projects. For many, the true result was already anticipated from the beginning.
