Death Machine

[RebelGT]

I was thinking about this a bit this morning...

Yes, the runners are short, but that doesn't mean this isn't a good design. The open box design allows for runner length tuneability, cleaning, and most critical, chipmunk removeal. Plus, it just looks hella sweet.

Also, from the looks of it, torque doesn't dissappear, it just moves the torque band up, and makes it more linear. One of the hard parts in drifting is keeping the engine from bogging out when the tires are trying to grip, this is all happening around 4000-6000 rpm (in the 240 i drift right now it works that way that is.) To fix this problem we kick the clutch as needed to provide the extra torque uptop to break the tires free, but with more all out power uptop, i'd think this wouldn't be nescessary, making for a smoother drift.

I refuse to be retarded on this one. Yeah, you don't care about low end but I think kicking it to the ground and stepping on its head isn't a sound way to go about making your death machine.

I also wanted to note, this isn't a w-body, its a >1400lb car, i'll take 200'lb between 5000-6500 over 180'lbs at 4000-5000 any day.

was just messing around this morning...

Not bad but the box would definetly be bigger. I wish I could draw something. I just tried and yeah, it doesn't look like anything at all. I want the velocity stack to be one piece with the plenum bottom. The adjustable part is nice for testing but you would need different tuning for all the variations. We can do this of course but it will take longer to do. Would you need to vary the powerband like that for different events?

[RebelGT]

that would definitly be awesome being able to change up the power band depending on the track. This really wouldn't be critical for drift, but on a race track it would be. So yeah, its not critical, but it would be ubsordly awesome.

[RebelGT]

yes, its true, i'm bored at work.

I was just playing around with graphics for the hood of the car., heh heh.

[RebelGT]

holy cow, didn't think i could get this bored,

ignore the lack of nose cone, rear body etc, i don't have the WHOLE day to screw around at my job

[RebelGT]

Big Update today.

Most of the finished welding of the chassis is done, shifter extension done, trans tunnel done.

[RebelGT]

dddd

[RebelGT]

found the nose cone i'm going to order today or tomorow....
Its the only nose cone around with a chin spoiler, and I think the NACA duct will work nice for an air intake for the engine

[SappySE107]

I can get NACA duct stuff, and carbon fiber versions as well. Not cheap but then again, I dunno what that kind of stuff normally sells for. I have a catalogue here from the supplier I get my brake lines from.

Looking good!

[RebelGT]

SCORE!
friend found me a FREE radiator, came out of a V8 car, so it should work pretty ok The size looks like it should fit in the tiny nose to

[SappySE107]

Awesome. I have the intake design now. Lets just say I had some inspiration after a stressful day Its a lot like franz's setup only I have larger plenums and a much larger equalization tube setup. Im thinking it might be possible to use the pulses from different cylinders to "supercharge" another. Ill need some help on which cylinders to line across for each tube if it can work this way. Ill try find what I drew so I can take a picture of it.

[RebelGT]

find it yet?
