[allntrlundrgrnd]

Wow. cant wait to see this build unfold.

[0100]

You mad man!

[s14>integra]

jeez that procharger is insane! i cant wait to hear it

[Z33dori]

"i got a boner"

[murda-c]

sounds slow.

teehee

[Nimso]

wow, yea keep us informed... this looks exciting :)

[jdm_emperor]

wow, cant wait:aw:

[SW20Racer]

does anyone else have a raging clue?
http://images.southparkstudios.com/media/images/1009/1009_hardly_boys_investigate.jpg

[DreamN]

^ damn that's a huge pic!


sick build for sure. bet this thing will be scary as hell to ride in.

[GSXRJJordan]

Hahaha that's ridiculous. In an FC, where 300whp feels out of control

GL, HF son.

[spacedog]

thats insane, can't wait for your project to get done!!!

[Pank]

So its not really an LS1 now, IS IT

normal v8 rx7's are goofy, i can only imagine how beastly this thing is going to be

[Future240]

I'd love to stick that engine into an 88 monte carlo:yum:

[mRclARK1]

That should be fun.

[g6civcx]

I am disappointed.

I was expecting quadruple digit but with NA.

[UfoZ8myCow]

Godspeed.

Like Jordan said... In a car where 300whp feels out of control, 1000hp is just gonna be nuts.

[azndoc]

Godspeed.

Like Jordan said... In a car where 300whp feels out of control, 1000hp is just gonna be nuts.

So wait are you building a car for drifting, drag, dd, or just time traveling?

Because time traveling sound more like it.

GL

[Antihero983]

someone's out to end themselves!

lol damn dude, that is gonna be psycho!

[17Green]

Sick stuff!!! I never thought RX7's could do 1000+ without the help of TriRotors. Good luck!

[bloodangels13]

what rearend do you plan on running? s5 diff would probly gernade everywhere! lol

[DOOK]

what rearend do you plan on running? s5 diff would probly gernade everywhere! lol

with that kind of power he'll have to go like ford 9 inch or maybe even like... Rockwell :fawkd:

[flip3d]

GL

He still needs a flux capacitor.

[blu808]

Ok guys. Thanks everyone for the response.

I guess I should spill the beans since it may actually help our effort.
I am building this car for Bonneville. I figure its finally time I put my efforts towards a goal besides drifting. Something that will make a difference and be remembered. As some of you know my Dad is a ex car designer. He has designed everything from a 4 rotor corvette for gm back in the 60s, parts of the 69 camaro, the cowl induction hood, all the way upto the Shadow can am car.
He is the one helping me design this cars aerodynamics and find a way to eliminate lift.

I know this is a big project, but when I put my mind to something I do it. I will have proposals going out next week. Hopefully we will get some support. Maybe Kodgnington could help out?

Anyways. Current companies supporting this car:

Manji parts manjiparts.com

Hinson Supercars hinsonsupercars.com

Canton Racing cantonracing.com

Accusump accusump.com

Torco oil torcooil.com

Sparco Sparcousa.com

Megan Racing meganracing.com

Rota wheeldude.com

We hope to gain additional support.
Thanks everyone, and let us know if you would like to be part of this undertaking.


For the rear end we are keeping the s5 rear, but using a custom spool, and cryo treating all parts. It should hold up if we treat it nice.

[DOOK]

For the rear end we are keeping the s5 rear, but using a custom spool, and cryo treating all parts. It should hold up if we treat it nice.

why not swap out the rear end for something like a 9 inch? It gives the advantage of having a dropable third member, and can have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, same as your current 5x114.3. Just wondering, it's drag proven with TONS of aftermarket support.

[blu808]

I see your point. I just want to keep it simple. The rx-7 rear end will work fine, and with an fd automatic 3.88 ratio it should be perfect for around 256mph.

[DOOK]

welp, the math sounds about right... at 256 any diff is gonna be getting pretty warm... ehhh, at least you've got options. i can't wait to see this.

[mRclARK1]

Make a build thread (Or is this going to be it?) I'll subscribe with the quickness.

Any hints on this surprise?

Your location fits perfectly with the building of this car. hahahaha... It's gonna be a rocketship.

[blu808]

Why the location? lol Can you explain?

[mRclARK1]

Well your location (on my screen at least) says "SPACE"

[blu808]

ohh. Yea. Thats about right.

[racepar1]

You are fucking INSANE!!!!!!!!!! And I love it! I'm pretty sure the car will be almost un-driveable when it is done though.

[Andrew Bohan]

si. space.

Update:
Got the rest of the engine bay stripped down to prepare for chassis gusseting, bracing, and seam welding.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/turboskeet/newcamera4007.jpg

Then we decided to test fit the engine just to check fitment of the blower.

Plenty of shrouding and ducting to come.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/turboskeet/newcamera4023.jpg

More updates tomorrow.

[GSXRJJordan]

Wow, looks like fitment will be tight.

God I love that motor, with a blower.

Hope your rad mounting works :)

[DOOK]

horny.... me.... getting....

[Dr.Baby]

good luck! thats hell of a goal.

burt munro is my hero. (i know i know, he rode a motorcycle, but whatever)

[Andrew Bohan]

anyone who casts his own pistons and then makes tea with the water is a-ok in my book

[blu808]

Yea the radiator is just propped there for now. It will have everything fabbed up this week.

Its either this or a trunk mount radiator setup.



Baby: thanks man. I actually watched that movie the other night. Its one of my favs (worlds fastest Indian)

Drew : ^


Dook: If that turns you on just wait till you see the fuel system.

[blu808]

Change of plans. We are going partial tube frame on this FC with a front removable birdcage to hold the package tray (rad, intercooler, oil coolers, etc).

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/turboskeet/frontchop025.jpg

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/turboskeet/frontchop026.jpg

Then we removed the rear speaker buckets, so we can plate the shock towers.

[Andrew Bohan]

what the fuck is going on inside that black bimmer??

[projekt_s13]

what the fuck is going on inside that black bimmer??

Looks like a jungle gym.

[blu808]

Why dont you ask the guy driving.

Ohh wait it was you.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/turboskeet/frontchop020.jpg

The cage is tilted forward so we can weld the halo completely.

[sub9lulu]

madness
and i thought that previous turbo setup was crazy
i guess you are not planning on selling the turbo kit anymore ?

[blu808]

Turbo kit is in the final stages of jigging and almost ready to reproduce.

Luke

[Rick-95ZE]

:eek2:Very nice...

[s13dan]

your a mad man...

[KwKouki]

So wait are you building a car for drifting, drag, dd, or just time traveling?

Because time traveling sound more like it.

GL


werd, I have a feeling its gonna get to 88mph real quick

[shishcabobers]

oh man that's intense...

[SW20Racer]

im not even going to pretend i know the rules of bonneville but if you modified the body to be a super downforce machine (illustrated below)

i would imagine you could still run huh? sort of like a pass inspection then haul ass affair right?

either way, sick project and dont be stingy with the updates.

[murda-c]

Don't think increasing frontal area is a good idea for bonneville.

sry u dont need a "super downforce machine"

racing beat went up to 238mph with stock-body and some hub caps, they didnt even do a 1 piece fiberglass front or tape up the bumper surrounding area

http://www.racingbeat.com/Gallery/86Bonneville.jpg

Class: E/BGT - Racing Beat - Driver: Don Sherman - 1986.
238.442 MPH - This Land Speed Record is still held by Racing Beat.

How Are World Record Times Recorded?

The Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) is the organizing body that governs the events at the Bonneville Salt Flats. There are MANY classes that are listed in the SCTA rule book from stock classes to race-bred streamliners.

In order to establish a new world land speed record, a car is allowed to accelerate over a two mile stretch of the salt flats, then the next one-quarter (1/4) mile stretch is timed. If the car exceeds 175MPH in this one-quarter mile section it is considered a "long course" car and is allowed to continue through the next three miles of the course, for a total distance of five miles. Additional timing traps are set up at the end of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th mile sections.

To qualify for a record attempt, a vehicle must exceed the existing record by .001 MPH during a one way run. If the record is established during this run, then the car is impounded and a second run is attempted later that day. The second run is attempted and the average of these two runs determines a potential new land speed record.

well let's not get TOO confident

the thing that sucks is you can't be as low on the salt as you can on pavement

[luisgonz]

If you need someone to drive it and crash it(If it comes down to it,LOL) I can do it. Hahahahaha I know its not going to happen.

Nice build.:yum::yum:

[BOROSUN]

a nascar style roof flap would have prevented it being airborne.

[illvialuver]

so your going to get 100 mm over fenders and tub the rears? why dont you just make some crazy custom steam roller like tire for the rear like a crazy ass three wheeler?
im just joking, one thing is for sure drivingn that thing would be like bullriding godzilla

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/turboskeet/failengine044.jpg

Here we go again.


Also started working on the cage.

[Andrew Bohan]

so what's goin on with the engine now? gonna rebuild it?

[blu808]

Everything is cool. Just need a new piston set, re balance, honing, bearings, and put it together. We will also be using new 100 lb an hour injectors, 5 gallon methanol injection, liquid to air intercooler setup, and a big stuff 3 stand alone.

100lb/hr! Holy bejeezus. That's a lotta juice (esp when there's 8 of em).

Liquid to air is what all the big hp drag cars do... I hear it's the jam.

I'd like to see the gains you get off meth injection, I'm sure you'll squirt through that 5gals in a day with that much power.

[blu808]

I test fit the front body work today so we can start measuring for the tube frame and package tray.

Theres a ton of room up there.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

very very nice.

[blu808]

Threw the supercharged engine back in for more test fitting.

We are designing this to work with both the hinson turbo setup, and the procharger. That way we can change it in the future if we decide to.

http://www.blu808.com/Fc3sSpeedrecordcar/08-13.5-08/08-13.5-08%20005.JPG

Then we just decided to throw a rad in there and an intercooler to show how much room is available. We will be using a liquid to air intercooler.

Then we put the oil cooler, and PS cooler in the side vents.
The real setup will have proper ducting for the inlets and outlets of the coolers.
