Let's start with this Pfaff transformation for $\,a=\frac 14,b=\frac34,c=\frac23$ :
$$\tag{1}_2F_1\left(a,b\;;c\;;z\right)=(1-z)^{-a}\;_2F_1\left(a,c-b\;;c\;;\frac z{z-1}\right)$$
The 'Darboux evaluation' $(42)$ of Vidunas' "Transformations of algebraic Gauss hypergeometric functions" is :
$$\tag{2}_2F_1\left(\frac14,-\frac 1{12};\,\frac23;\,\frac {x(x+4)^3}{4(2x-1)^3}\right)=(1-2x)^{-1/4}$$
Solving $\,\displaystyle\frac {x(x+4)^3}{4(2x-1)^3}=\frac z{z-1}\,$ gives :
$$\tag{3}z=\frac{x(x+4)^3}{(x^2-10x-2)^2} $$
that we will use as :
$$\tag{4}z-1=\frac {4(2x-1)^3}{(x^2-10x-2)^2}$$
while $(1)$ and $(2)$ return :
$$_2F_1\left(\frac14,\frac34;\,\frac23;\,z\right)=\left[(z-1)(2x-1)\right]^{-1/4}$$
so that :
$$_2F_1\left(\frac14,\frac34;\,\frac23;\,z\right)=\left[\frac{4\,(2x-1)^4}{(x^2-10x-2)^2}\right]^{-1/4}$$
and (up to a minus sign) :
$$\tag{5}_2F_1\left(\frac14,\frac34;\,\frac23;\,z\right)^2=-\frac{x^2-10x-2}{2\,(2x-1)^2}$$
and indeed the substitution of $(z-1)$ and $_2F_1()^2$ with $(4)$ and $(5)$ in your formula gives :
$$27\,(z-1)^2\cdot{_2F_1}\left(\tfrac14,\tfrac34;\tfrac23;z\right)^8+18\,(z-1)\cdot{_2F_1}\left(\tfrac14,\tfrac34;\tfrac23;z\right)^4-8\cdot{_2F_1}\left(\tfrac14,\tfrac34;\tfrac23;z\right)^2=1$$
Many other formulae of this kind may be deduced using Vidunas' paper.
$$I:=\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln{(x)}}{\sqrt{x}\,\sqrt{x+1}\,\sqrt{2x+1}}\mathrm{d}x.$$
After first multiplying and dividing the integrand by 2, substitute $x=\frac{t}{2}$:
$$I=\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{2\ln{(x)}}{\sqrt{2x}\,\sqrt{2x+2}\,\sqrt{2x+1}}\mathrm{d}x=\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}}{\sqrt{t}\,\sqrt{t+2}\,\sqrt{t+1}}\mathrm{d}t.$$
Next, substituting $t=\frac{1}{u}$ yields:
$$\begin{align}
I
&=-\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln{(2u)}}{\sqrt{u}\sqrt{u+1}\sqrt{2u+1}}\mathrm{d}u\\
&=-\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln{(2)}}{\sqrt{u}\sqrt{u+1}\sqrt{2u+1}}\mathrm{d}u-\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln{(u)}}{\sqrt{u}\sqrt{u+1}\sqrt{2u+1}}\mathrm{d}u\\
&=-\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln{(2)}}{\sqrt{u}\sqrt{u+1}\sqrt{2u+1}}\mathrm{d}u-I\\
\implies I&=-\frac{\ln{(2)}}{2}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+1}\sqrt{2x+1}}.
\end{align}$$
Making the sequence of substitutions $x=\frac{u-1}{2}$, then $u=\frac{1}{t}$, and finally $t=\sqrt{w}$, puts this integral into the form of a beta function:
$$\begin{align}
\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+1}\sqrt{2x+1}}
&=\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\sqrt{u-1}\sqrt{u+1}\sqrt{u}}\\
&=\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\sqrt{u^2-1}\sqrt{u}}\\
&=\int_{1}^{0}\frac{t^{3/2}}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\frac{(-1)}{t^2}\mathrm{d}t\\
&=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\sqrt{t}\,\sqrt{1-t^2}}\\
&=\frac12\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\mathrm{d}w}{w^{3/4}\,\sqrt{1-w}}\\
&=\frac12\operatorname{B}{\left(\frac14,\frac12\right)}\\
&=\frac12\frac{\Gamma{\left(\frac12\right)}\Gamma{\left(\frac14\right)}}{\Gamma{\left(\frac34\right)}}\\
&=\frac{\pi^{3/2}}{2^{1/2}\Gamma^2{\left(\frac34\right)}}
\end{align}$$
Hence,
$$I=-\frac{\ln{(2)}}{2}\frac{\pi^{3/2}}{2^{1/2}\Gamma^2{\left(\frac34\right)}}=-\frac{\pi^{3/2}\,\ln{(2)}}{2^{3/2}\,\Gamma^2{\left(\frac34\right)}}.~~~\blacksquare$$
Possible Alternative: You could also derive the answer from the complete elliptic integral of the first kind instead of from the beta function by making the substitution $t=z^2$ instead of $t=\sqrt{w}$.
$$\begin{align}
\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+1}\sqrt{2x+1}}
&=\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\sqrt{u-1}\sqrt{u+1}\sqrt{u}}\\
&=\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\sqrt{u^2-1}\sqrt{u}}\\
&=\int_{1}^{0}\frac{t^{3/2}}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\frac{(-1)}{t^2}\mathrm{d}t\\
&=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\sqrt{t}\,\sqrt{1-t^2}}\\
&=2\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\sqrt{1-z^4}}\\
&=2\,K{(-1)}\\
&=\frac{\Gamma^2{\left(\frac14\right)}}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}\\
&=\frac{\pi^{3/2}}{2^{1/2}\Gamma^2{\left(\frac34\right)}}.
\end{align}$$

Using $$ K(ik) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+k^2}}K\left(\sqrt{\frac{k^2}{k^2+1}}\right) $$ and a substitution $t^2 = \frac{k^2}{1+k^2}$, rewrite the integral as $$ \int_0^\infty K(i k)^3\,dk = \int_0^1 K(t)^3\,dt. $$
There is a paper "Moments of elliptic integrals and critical L-values" by Rogers, Wan and Zucker (http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.2259; also one of the authors' earlier papers: http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.1132), and the authors, by relating this integral to an L-series of a modular form (their theorems 1 and 2), show that $$ \int_0^1 K(k)^3\,dk = \frac{3}{5}K(1/\sqrt{2})^4 = \frac{3\Gamma(\frac14)^8}{1280\pi^2}, $$ using $K(1/\sqrt{2}) = \frac14 \pi^{-1/2}\Gamma(\frac14)^2$.
