Cool cool, that's what I like to hear.

Next week should have me posting a ton of updates, especially as far as the exterior of the car is concerned.

I've been commissioned on a couple projects which should provide for a nice injection of discretionary funds for both cars.

If anyone needs a tune or design, please let me know! I want to get the race car ready to go for this season, put away some cash for the remaining tech certification stuff, and then FINALLY get down to the hotside fabrication on one of the L15As I got laying around.

 

Quick test fitting:

 

Pulse dampener for the turbine drive pressure sensor came in from Tony @ T1R

 

Damn dsm ur build is comin along since last time I was in the forum man

 

This car is bringing back older than old memories. Good luck with build

 

Trying to get things wrapped up so I can get a lot of seat time this year!

How's that? Did you compete in LSR?

 

So some of the more dramatic exterior stuff should be getting sorted out this week.. trying to find a way to keep pressure under the back of the car low and keep the cover from getting ripped off by a few hundred pounds of aero drag at speed

So in addition to a couple multi-port diffusers put into the cover we are latching it with metal studs off the chassis at the top and the bottom:




And on the front we are trying to massage the cover to fit the big ass intercooler:






Don't mind the surge tank hanging low, the cradle is sitting at the bottom of its adjustment while we move things around. Ground clearance is not an issue.

 

Wooo


Yes I have to Fix that rust spot. The whole car is getting touched up after its running and I am having the underbody sprayed with rhino-liner.

 

Third meth nozzle is now in the pre-turbo pipe

 

All meth lines run

 

i like that single bang next to urs :)

 

Mounting the drive pressure sensor and damper, then fitting a stainless line coil

 

I like where this is going...

 

That thing is hopefully going to accompany me to a couple local events this year.

Big cam + SC61 turbo in a tin can.. should put it down through a 24.5" slick for some single digits once all the bugs are worked out!

 

soo nais man. sub'd!!

 

Thank you Gents, I'm hoping the next couple weeks of updates should deliver some entertainment as we nail down the last nuts and bolts!

 

These fittings are so big they make the gap between the radiator and t-stat housing look tiny.. like we zoomed way in on some -6 hose ends

 

-10 for fuel (which by all standards is a big fucking fuel line) next to a -16 for radiator hose:


And they go all the way up to -32 (2")

 

This lower radiator hose situation with everything else that's in the way is proving to be tricky.. heres what we got now:

 

Hell bent on getting this headlight replacing pre-turbo ram air scoop sorted out.


Even more interested to see how this plays with turbine efficiency with and without the scoop on.. measuring that by comparing boost to turbine drive pressure and pre vs post turbine exhaust gas temps and airflow/power production!

On a turbo this size and at the speeds I am aiming for it should make for a noticeable bump in power.
