Tuomas FIN

Intercooler

oh, i see. is the car for drag racing only?

Tuomas FIN

No drag racing. Built for street and standing mile. Also these days looks more half mile events and comes more popular . Also 1000 meters common in Europe.

so the intercooler works on the "street" like that? i assume fan has to be running all the time.

W2A IC is ”little” oversized. 3pcs of Garrett cores.
Dual rear radiators. IAT on mile pull ~25C/40F

The hits just keep on coming.

A build like this takes time. Especially with the attention to detail you have.

This weekend we’ll go again to Sweden some half mile racing. Just on way to ferry.
Very interested to see how suspension mods and MH street radials change the game.
Target is break current Scandinavian record 206mph. Lets see what happens.

Best of luck to you. What is your fastest MPH in the half?

Tuomas FIN

Thank you! 202mph best so far.

Few big plans for the future.
More I think this, more I wanna make it reality.

So, I want make she hybrid and add hub mounted direct drive EV motors to fronts.
It requires 800V system with 8-10kWh battery system, but at same could take everything accessories off except oil scavenge pump.
Electric power steering, alternator, AC etc.

Motec offers M-series EV units and these days are available light weight 15-20kg motors for Motorsport use no need gear, runs needed ~3000rpm and gives ~200-250kW per wheel.

Maybe 100kg extra weight, but who cares😁

AWD C6 with ”stealth mode”😁

If you have the means, Go for it.

we would happily participate in this endeavor as we have a car here we would like to do it to.

I have been thinking about this too. And noticing that the technology is there to do it. Basically replacing the wheel bearing and or brakes inside the front wheels. And mounting a battery in the trunk that can get charged up for a few spirited runs. Even if the charge only lasted for ten or fifteen runs, that would be enough to have some fun.

@GSpeed
Track/race or street car? Motec already?

Tuomas FIN

Its not so simple.
Below few things quickly came mind need to solve, depending of use.

-front suspension coilover/ shock relocation.
-control arms: handling torq/
-spindle desing accepts EV motor/ handling torq
-driveability/ handling
-front suspension weight/ balance
-traction control
-lauch control
-ABS system
-aero/shifting in high speeds
-battery cooling
-12v battery charging
-battery location: I would put them inside bumber
-custom designed EV motors: Ehelix example make these.
-800v(?) battery size enough small: common units low voltage
-controller works as wanted
-charge mode
-EV only drive mode
-ECU: in my case this easy, just Motec M130 EV next to M150 together. As ”stand alone” system with factory electrics probably impossible.

Use of car: my case its ”easy” because just driving straight fast as possibe or street but if track car example, things go much harder.

I have damn disaster at day job now, economy in contruction business and many other industry due to Ukraine war has caused many problems and high rate of interest.
Year 2024 probably goes just focusing work.

But at same started looking for salvage title complete car/ chassis/ frame fab new better more light weight setup for new plans.
