Well, here is one to rack your brain Denny, sorry if it been shown before but tough, not enough time to read through all the forum. Ive been looking for body ideas for my project.

that car has to much to look at.

You need a bat suit to drive that car.

 

well i have found one thing. the space between the radiator and the air hole in the body needs shielding, closes the gap in front of the tray we use for the coils and pump etc, and I also am moving the return a/w hose away from the alternator.

Here is the logged data after my reroute/shielding job per posts 3195 and 3196 of this thread.

This afternoon at 95 degrees ambient temperature my intake temperature after the blower were in between 114 and 122 degrees depending on how hard I drove the car. AC was at full blast and not spraying methanol at all.

I just got back from driving this evening at 84 degrees ambient temperature. My intake temperatures after the blower were in between 109 and 111 degrees depending on how hard I drove the car. AC was on and after spraying methanol I got the temps down to 94 degrees.

I’m not sure what it will do to other SC cars but in my case it brought my intake temperatures 10~20 degrees lower than before. I also noticed that compared to other SCs my engine runs a bit hotter and I think is due in part to my MSD ignition coils and NGK 10.5 leading/11.5 trailing spark plugs.

I’m waiting for my new oil temperature sensor gauge so I can start monitoring my oil temperatures as well.

The attached logs are from this evening run.

 

you can get the temps down a little more Juan if you like too--pm Dr Cool
You will find that the oil temps will be very close to the coolant temp. Until you track her--then they will be a little higher.
W/M = good

what are the thoughts on heat shielding the compressor--would it be worthwhile in doing? I am not sure.

I can model something up that is form fitted then print it in PolyCarbonate... We use that material for all of our heat jackets on our field items its great stuff and heat resistant...

 

sweet-example?and i wonder if it is something we need?

If you think we do just let me know and I'll get on it... now back to sketching out Moons project, its gonna be so badass,,,,

 

Sorry Bastage, I wrecked your car.

 

ha lol,, good stuff...

 

looks like the convertible project is underway!!!!

beers

 

that is what i call weight reduction

WTF happened to that car? That doesn't look survivable.

 

Belive it that the driver and passenger survived. The clutch pedal looks like it tagged the guys nuts. The front steel housing on the engine was broken and the tranny was broken in half. Not sure exactly what the details of the accident were though. From the looks of it, it seems they had to cut off the roof to get them out. Got to learn alot about how everything was put together though. There must be 10 miles of wire in our cars.

 

if it had water / meth it would have survived.

 

/\ true dat LOL

 

lol +2

 

Secret RX .5 project?

 

What the ...

That was funny.

 

for all the Florida guys and any one really there is a DE event at Roebling Road in Savannah Georgia with Darkside driving for $250 for the w/e! you can even purchase track insurance. Looks like you would have a lot of track time.It sounds like it would be really good.
It is in October and the weather is usually beatiful and COOL. Look it up on Google.
It would be a great time for us Pettit and non Pettit folks to get together.
Anyone interested?

Hmmm, sounds like a good time and a deadline
