Gregg Hekimian, Hekimian Racing Engines built a new engine development for Mario Kleff: 1.680 hp on C16 for street use. Tootees, Pro Mod Specialist develops together Architect Mario Kleff, MD of the Wandeegroup (Thailand) and in cooperation with Thailand's Custom Hot Rod Shop two amazing street supercars. Unseen so far: dragster power for street use and legally. Mario Kleff's dragster, a 2nd street supercar - one of the world fastest or quickest street legal cars to date - but certainly the power plant for Thailand's roads. Several engines are on build for Mario Kleff by Gregg Hekimian, USA and by Big Daddy USA and by Hyperformance, USA. Carbon Fiber body Camaro 70.5 built for Mario Kleff - first with visible carbon core. Supercar Aluminum body built by Thailand Custom Hot Rod Shop. Mario Kleff also developes a 222 cubic inch pro street bike injected Nitrous Oxide based on 260 cubic inch engine parts. Randy Torgeson fabricates for Mario Kleff a super V2 motor with 222 cubic inch, nitrous powered and capable of producing over 400 bhp.
2008 (c) Engine designed by Mario Kleff
Pattaya's iconic architect Mario Kleff and his construction firm Wandeegroup operates business across Thailand and internationally.
Today, Mario Kleff is Pattaya's most famous architect and holds the record for the most real estate developments designs submitted
and approved by local Government and Pattaya City-Hall and several high-rise buildings on the drawing board in the same year.
Considered to be one of the most influential figures in architectural design in the Chonburi region, Mario Kleff is known for
continuously reinventing his design expressions and image and for retaining a high standard of autonomy within Pattaya's real estate sector.
He received Thai citizenship in 2009.
Always fascinated by extreme performance and technology,
Mario Kleff has also designed and built a range of ultra high speed cars and motorcycles, see below:
2009 (c) Engine built by Gregg Hekimian (Best in class and Quantum Physics Engineer)
This first engine was designed and developed for Mario Kleff's Pro Street Truck.
Old school V8 combined new blower technologies: clean, stunning, powerfull. A new engine development indeed.
Even thought the engine was good enough - 540ci to 1.700 hp level - it wouldn't provide the acceleration Mario tried to achieve.
A good setup could bring up this engine to a new street record and certainly to one of the fastest street legal cars to date.
In an 2.100 lbs car this can run 0 - 200 mph @ 7.2 sec. Fast enough on street but not on drag.
Engine run's c16 - dyno pull: 1.690 hp on C16 race gas.
The physical size of the Pro Stock carburetors is 13" x 9" to get you an idea of how big they are.
They flow at 1340 cfm each, and all internally set up for a boost reference for supercharger.
Fuel pump system: Magna ProStar 500 rated for hp 2,000+ at 28psi
Fuel consumption ca. 3-4 miles/1 gallon at 8,20USD imported to Thailand.
Lead fuel: C16, used in turbocharged engines, blown engines and nitrous applications with CRs up to 17:1.
Recommended by the top nitrous oxide companies. Spec Fuel for NHRA Comp Eliminator.
Engine designed by Mario Kleff, assembled by Gregg Hekimian - expert engine builder and quantum physic engineer.
Re-designed and modified by Tootees, dyno pull and final tune by Big Daddy USA.
Big Daddy actually has to re-built this motor new in order to run it safe on street and stable: today it use pump gas.
Engine passes another dyno pull and makes good power today with pump gas.
Mario Kleff's Pro Street Truck: all aluminum based Hummvee concept
Pattaya's architect Mario Kleff let build a all-out aluminum pro street truck...
Perfectly machined Williams rear axle along machined aluminum wheels... Rocker tires for daily use; drag slick tires for strip
104" inch pro stock wheelie bar, made of titanium alloy; it's really needed :-)
Above a first chassis dummy from mild steel: final version will be 4130 chromium molybdenum
Below new engine designed for Mario Kleff by:
Tootees (over 30 years successful in ProMod and Drag Racing,
and by Big Daddy's (A legend in Drag Race).
However
It takes torque to accelerate the car quick not horsepower, and less total weight:
A) Pushing more oxygen into the air fuel mixture would produce much greater horsepower and torque
B) Increasing engine level and cubic inch will prepare for more and greater torque - that's what Mario did...
C) Designing a car total weight below 2.100 lbs will speeds faster - that's what Mario did...
This 540 will be up in Mario's all-in-all aluminum pick up truck - a daily runner for visiting construction sites!

Below another car body built from handcrafted carbon fiber and sit on a custom Pro Stock 4130 Chrome Steel/Titanium Chassis, built by Tootees Racing.
Most parts on this vehicle are custom designed by Mario and fabriacte including axles, suspension, carbon/carbon brakes and 104" Titanium wheelie bar.
This car body is the world's first built Camaro 70.5 100% visible carbon core!! proofed.
Cynergycomposites are simple the best and only team for such a body and present on Top Racing Class.
Engine on plan is a 900+ cubic inch injected methanol with the best PSI blower.
Project has started up in the USA and should be completed end of 2010/early 2011.
Budget for this car project: ca. 280.000 USD (9.500.000 THB)
State 09-01-2010 Prepare for Pro Stock Chassis
#############################################
Mario Kleff's 3rd Supercar will be powered with a 900+ cubic inch (15.000 cc or 15 Liter) engine run pump gas psi blower.
All-in-all Aluminum version: custom Aluminum motor and custom Aluminum body. It also got nice carbon/ceramic brakes.
Either car designed not for visual enhancement, but aerodynamics will come into effect at high speeds and over 150 mph.
Mario Kleff's 3rd Supercar got a very special and adjustable Carbon Wing, and a 104" Titanium wheelie bar by Tootees.
Engine basically runs on pump gas and meet so all street legal requirements. Est. power: 1.580 - 1.650 torque, ca. 2.000+ hp
Thailands Custom Hot Rod Shop (German Management, aka Bubi) specializes in handcrafted aluminum chassis and body works, so they are contracted on this project.
Other parts made from aluminum or Chrome Steel can ordered CNC machined.
Budget for this car project: ca. 350.000 USD (11.900.000 THB)
Images (C) shows a published concept engine 700+ cubic inch was developed to deliever 2.000+ hp.
Mario's new engine (ca. 940 cubic inch) able to hold both pump gas and methanol (Setup Methanol would be more like Funny Car / Doorslammer)
will be one of the most powerful street engines ever built - developed to run without often maintenance and long life!!
Biggest challange so far: cooling - this car will need a huge cooling system on the back of the car ... project completed Oct. 2010
Top speed: [?] Acceleration: [Goal Pump Gas 230+ mph @ higher 6 sec. ### Goal Methanol 250+ mph @ lower 6 sec]
DON'T MISTAKE: these numbers are planned for street use not drag race - on drag such a engine with methanol fuel will run lower 5 sec.!
Watch 0-230 mph overdistance 400 meters. Sample shows a good built 700+ cubic inch motor not yet 900+ cubic inch!
This very pro street car is exceptional outstanding... based 1972 Lamborghini.
Mario Kleff modified this concept into a long version powered with a ultra torque V8 engine 936 cubic inch...
Large screen panels with high-speed cameras will help to drive it... More soon on this page!
Team of Thailands Custom Hot Rod Shop get on with the aluminum body for Mario's Street Supercar.
Below a custom fabricate carbon wing by MaCarbon for this car. It's huge and perfectly finished.
Many other parts are custom built for Mario Kleff.
Below the only one gauges displaying 450 km/h, and perfect working and smooth seats made in Italy and Germany.
Also can see a custom Williams rear axle, custom carbon steering wheel etc. Even here all parts made from the best in class! Mario designed CAD/3D.
#############################################
Mario Kleff's V8 superbike on plan: 598 cubic inch (9.900 cc or 9.9 Liter)
This motorcycle will present just everything it really needs: engine, wheels and brakes...
Engine shown below with 2 1/2" - 2 3/4" Pro Stock Headers tailored made by FAB for Mario's motor.
Even this engine in a light weight car eventually will spot any Ferrari or Lamborghini on street.
But for certain Mario Kleff's 800hp motorcycle will do. 1st test transmission system is on the way to Thailand (February 2010)
Actual developing cost ca. $ 80.000 USD (2.800.000 THB)
What makes this motorcycle so special, not only is the 10 Liter engine, but it's hubless wheels and radical style.
Architect Mario Kleff has his own design and let it build right this time.
Of course this is indiviual feel but for Mario Kleff sounds nothing better then a rootblown big V8 motor drag styled or V2:-)
So after this motorcycle has been approved, perhaps he'll improve this 598 ci engine with another super charger...LOL
#############################################
Below Mario Kleff's Pro Street Bike.
Also a kind: flat, fast and loud. Shows a 360 rear tire.
Currently (February 2010) powered by 1.200cc Buell engine and pump gas.
Concept: minimalist
New paint: try to get a feel for the "right" green...
First paint: wasn't right...
Final concept and re-design this year 2010:
Architect Mario Kleff will need completed works on engineering/performance/character within April/Mai.
Current Buell will be replaced with a custom built 222 cubic inch engine.
That is 3.650cc motor!
Tootees Racing Cars will deliever custom built Titanium Exhaust for this powerful super bike.
Tootees also will deliver custom built and CNC machined parts for air-shift drag transmission and open primary belt drive monster width of 6 inches.
Finishing: minimalist pro street or drag style # only one handle, no gauges or other instruments, no turn lights, no mirrors, no fenders,
no chrome, only CNC machined/polished billet aluminum and titanium parts, otherwise flat black powder coat. Color: dark green flake paint mixed candy green(s).
5" - 6" wide open primary belt (hardcore style) and drag transmission built by Tootees Racing Cars, free running stainless chain, and the always good looking 360 rear tire.
Basically not much changes on the current shape/form, only "a bit stronger" and ca. 30cm increase of all-over lenght.
Some would think this is dangerous and a crazy idea on street, but some certainly will like it and feel along :-)
Thailands Custom Hot Rod Shop care custom billet fuel cell, billet rear fender and aluminum chassis.
*****
Information on the new engine setup:
The crank pins are finished with a hex end that indexes into EDM cut hex recesses on the inside surface of the wheels so the inside area of the wheels is totally smooth,
allowing sufficient space for the CNC billet steel rods to run side-by-side, while keeping the whole assembly very compact.
Both sides of the crank ride in massive double tapered Timken bearings, creating a virtually indestructible bottom end to handle enormous horsepower at extreme RPMs.
They manufactures bolt on fin sections to turn the extreme Pro racing heads into extreme Pro heads for the street and strip.
These billet blocks and heads are simply the best for such applications available on the planet!
Only 3 engines ever were built for street - normally used on professional and nitromethane drag bikes.
Architect Mario Kleff from Pattaya is one of only four people in the world own such one off-hand made engine, and he's the only one owns this style 222 cubic inch ProMotor.
Other guys are Radical Cycles with first built and only 190 ci and later 260 ci
Doc Hopkins with first built and only 205 ci
*****
222 cubic inch engine for Mario Kleff - first built and the only one world-wide - sort of state of the art engine!
Here a comment from Randy Torgeson, HYPERFORMANCE
" Mario, this is a unique system because of the application, no one has ever done one with this much torque on the street before
so I'm moving very cautiously..." Randy Torgeson stated 10th March 2010.
A 222 cubic inch engine will be machined for Mario Kleff.
This off-hand made engine based on a 260 cubic inch engine and capable to turn his bike in a real street monster produce 290/300 hp/lbs. torque.
The best team around to build the best engines available for Mario is HYPERFORMANCE: Randy Torgeson, Paul Matyka and Reggie Ronzello.
Designer and Architect Mario Kleff on this one calls only the best into service can ensure his bike will set new standards not only in Thailand.
Tootees Racing team will ensure everything works perfect and matches together. This team has over 30 years racing records in drag and pro mod class.
Budget for Mario's Pro Street Bike: estimate 3.600.000 THB ($ 105.000+ USD)
"Some cannot pay this bike", said Mario Kleff - "it's not for sale". "They needs to include project management and all design fees, and even so...
Watch just this block and cylinder heads - minimalist perfectionism and CNC style.
Mario Kleff's new pro street engine based on 260 cubic inch design.
Also images of parts and processing: see differences of block size 1.340cc Harley Davidson and this new 260 cubic inch (4.250cc) block!
Perhaps Mario may consider use of harness while riding this bike to construction sites :-)
Seriously, this new project ( "Thailand Dragon" ) will run very quick, less maintance is expected :: power of over 300 hp/torque sound's good :-)
Architect Mario Kleff will show Pattaya new hot rods and drag bike. Unique in everything it presents. Not even to compare with Radical Cycles 190 Predator.
Mario Kleff's "Thailand Dragon" will be a awesome performance pro street dragster with serious power.
As an further bonus this motor will have a 3-stage nitrous system to push it's basic performance of 300 hp up to incredible acceleration and speeds.
Not yet clear what power this motor can produce, but because of it's huge basic torque it easily should rich 400 hp level.
Enough to speeds on both drag strip and street!
2010 is proving ground for Tootees and Randy's HYPERFORMANCE teams: built the fastest drag bike for Pattaya's streets.
Here a video of another of Tootees jet projects.
Car on video calls "Detroit Dragon", woman driven, runs 0-310mph over distance of 400 meters.
Here a video of the Radical Cycles 190 ci Predator running and 260 ci built by HYPERFORMANCE
2010 also is proving ground for the Wandeegroup on many levels: first pro car is up and bike will be within 2010
Mario Kleff and Wandeegroup yet set new records in 2010.
