The fastest car in the world (?) uses a Lysholm...

Tony

Hmm, i havent seen that link before. it looks as if that SC also goes by the name of Whipple 3300R (aka a LYSHOLM twinscrew)

I looked into one of those...More dipslacement /rev 3.3L vs 2.3L. I think i was appx 3/4-1" into the hood line of the car. I didnt want to mess with adding a hood scoup or bulge.
Hey, Mr Lockhart, you have room!

I didn't know that but it is not a surprise.

One of the fastest, if not the fastest production cars in the world uses a twin-screw. The ford GT has a 3.3sec 0-60. Car and Driver claims only the Enzo is faster. I guess that makes it the fastest car in the world for under half a million.

I think this is a good time to post the link to the Ford GT engine annimation again. CLick Here to see basically how my sytem works.

Black or Silver, I'm sure you will do it well Tony...
Thrilling piece of work you have put together Andy...
I think I would be most excellent to see a working rendition at SITM. So who will be sporting a Supermodel?? ...inquiring minds would like to know.
I'm sure Jeannie would be curious as to not be ousted from the throne... but can she compete with a Whipple?

Cool link Andy... love the Ford GT. How the heck can I save that locally w/o the plug in? Very cool rendering.

Every time you say that I go check your page... and...

j/k... I have a lot of projects with priority and frankly, it will be a year or so before I'm ready to pull the trigger. But I'm very interested, and will watch all developments with great interest.

Porken,
Sweeeet... TY

andy, will you be using these intercoolers on your 16v project?

Tony did you move the expansion tank? Not a lot of room there, and ... where is the fresh air coming from?

Dr_Wolfgang

Wow,
That thing looks like a JC Penny snowmower exhaust pipe. I think you should paint it bright red like the beautiful intake in another thread.

Jadz,
Thanks for the kind words. The SITM deal is top secret for now.

SharkSkin,
Sorry man, I can spend my time designing and delivering superchargers for the 928 or I can update my website.

drnick,
Yes I will be using those.

Dr Wolfgang,
I see that you have returned. Please keep your exclusive brand of constructive criticism to yourself. Should Tony paint his intake red I will have to reposses it.

I don't have the stock expansion tank anymore. I made a mock up out of hard board then had one fabricated at a radiator shop. I found a float gauge on line that keeps the coolant level warning system intact. All the hoses still attach at the same points and the new tank basically sits where the old one was, its just narrower. Its narrow enough for me to fit up to a 4" intake pipe behind it..

The air is drawn in from the right fender area, behind the wheel. You yank that big washer tank out of there and there is actually quite a bit of room. I made a card mock of a cone filter that would fit, then ordered the appropriate size. Before comitting to the "hard" aluminum tubing, I used flexible dryer pipe when trial fitting . For good measure I added a louver (a home depot HVAC grill) to the wheel well liner to get a better "gulp" of air.
It will be painted black soon enough.





Im going to add a small baffle behind this to eliminate any chance of water injestion. The air will make the turn, the water wont.

drnick

andy,

i guess you really are building a manifold for the 16 v cars, and you plan to keep the spider? i think there is more room in the vee than on the 32v cars, will you mount the blower lower down? cant wait to see a pic..

GoRideSno

Yes drnick,
I expect to be done w/ the first 16V manifold in a week or two. The majority of the actual fab work is being done by a machine shop.
