Osh Minelian & Dream Machine Engineering Featured on NBC Show "WHIPNOTICS"
BMW RMS 'M5-Superfast' Delivers Blistering, Supercharged Acceleration to Preeminent Neurological Spine Surgeon Dr. Robert Bray
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Mario Solis' KNBC show WHIPNOTICS is dedicated to the "whips", or project cars, brought to life by the horse power addicts who dare to dream them up. Soon they will feature a unique story about a shared dream, and an unusual partnership, between a world class surgeon and a legendary tuner, Dr. Robert Bray of D.I.S.C. Spine & Sports Center and Osh Minelian, of Dream Machine Engineering.
The dream began three years ago, when Dr. Bray felt the need for supercharged speed, and decided the time was now for his creature to come to life. He read about the pioneering work of Osh Minelian and his DME team on BMW's and other European high performance engines. He and his son Garret approached Osh and they began to think outside the factory, imagining an M5 with revolutionary after-cooler, block and supercharger innovations that would support a staggering 2000 HP platform.
Osh began researching, designing and engineering DME's proprietary after-cooling system: a unique air to liquid cooler that is integrated into the manifold. This component was based on the groundbreaking design work first introduced by Osh in '94, and since copied and used by countless competitors. Given the awesome power being generated this system was crucial. For this monster it was only a piece in a special puzzle. Next came more DME specific innovations, like Osh's re-engineered block, using steel cylinder sleeves, another idea that has been attempted by others for these engines, but done successfully by no one before DME. Ultimately Osh's 'factory-correct' obsessive attention to detail and engineering innovation led to his special supercharger package, delivering serious power and speed to Dr. Bray's Monster E39 M5.
For his part, Dr. Bray delivered something no High Performance Tuner has ever had access to before: Advanced Scanning Technology. As a twenty year veteran of over nine thousand spinal surgeries, Dr. Bray has been instrumental in the development of countless tools and inserts now commonly used in microsurgical procedures. He was a part of the testing and design process in the powerful Zeiss Microscope development (the microscope that set the standard for microsurgery), and holds many patents of his own. He and Osh have taken their collaboration to another level, using this technology as well as the ultra-powerful Seimens Helical CT Scanner to examine design elements and parts. Dr. Bray suggested using both of these tools, as a means to subject the design parts to a microscopic examination, one able to detect any flaws or weaknesses at a level unheard of until this team proved it practical and extremely useful. Their collaboration led to the car that prowls the streets of Los Angeles today, an 850 HP, supercharged "Monster", that according to Dr. Bray "eats anything on the road alive".
According to Osh, Dr. Bray and his sons Spencer and Garret, "the goal always was to conceive and build the fastest BMW M5 on the streets of L.A." From our standpoint, given that L.A. is and always has been the beating heart of the performance car world, the Monster may be the fastest on the streets, anywhere.
So after hundreds of hours of manifold and engine design and engineering, thousands of hours of research, manufacture and testing, and countless innovations, the monster takes only seconds to make everyone who sees it go by in a blur realize..."IT'S ALIVE!"
