It's a page from Brasil, and it's in Portuguese, not French or Dutch. That engine is running ethanol at 21 psi on stock pistons, a stock valvetrain and 56 lb / hour injectors.

nice to know that the oem pistons in the 3.0 can handle 20+psi properly tuned

E85 is 105 octane. E100 is 110 or so. That gives you some fudge room.

also has intercooling abilities

theres a little more to the story here...

hes only squeezing 0.4 bar, which is about 6 PSI

which makes sense because boosted 3.0's pop head gaskets religiously at 19 PSI or so, and theres no way those hypereutectic pistons would handle real twin turbo squeeze without venting.

seems like kind of a waste of twin turbos to me...
