Anyone outside of Clill like to guess where this set up will call home. Not a Camaro or at least not yet

NHRA Jr. Dragster -- Unlimited Class Tim Allen would approve.........

Ahyyyy Carumba!!

I'm guessing airplane or some kind of big tractor! :eek: Me Likey!

Is it on schedule to be on the road in June? ;)

My car?! :D

"SS" would be a good guess.

DjD, Yes it will be on the road in June, No it wont be in a dragster/airplane or in a SS, But then SS could be driving it in June though but then again so could TW. Oh it will be RED that you can take to the bank tongue.gif

Forgot DjD alrady knoew what it is being dropped into. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Kinda looks like my sprinkler control valves on the side of my house... ;)

Subaru WRX STI? (Mounted in the rear seat)

That's what I was referring to, "SS" the person, not a "SS" car.

What a collection. Must be nice.

If I did not have the most wonderful little boy and girl waiting at home for me, I would be jealous of that guys cars.

2003 Honda Civic?

57...?

Sorry, you're all incorrect. It's the new BrewMaster 2004. It'll make a keg of your favorite brew in 25.5 seconds. You just add hops and water. Got mine last week. graemlins/beers.gif

My guess is one of Steve Sandlins cars. Right??
(I've had no prior knowledge of this.) LOL ;)

As far as we know...this will be the first time this system has been tried [domestically]. Some European exotic car has a similar system, but we're in the test tube here trying it on an LS1. The guys at Banks Turbo say it'll work, but I'd be curious about Jody's prediction...LOL. Keith Roberts [Robert's Racing engines] will tune it on his out-of-chassis dyno, so keep fingers crossed that it's ready for the 7 days of Power-Tour.

Steve,

I hope it works! And I hope you have it ready for Power Tour. I love a guy who "dares to be different". The plumbing should be "exciting" to say the least. How far along are you or is that a current pic?

Jody

Ya know Steve, I think the heat here has finally gotten to you. tongue.gif

Man you gotta fill me in, I'd love to see this in person.

That picture was taken 2 days ago...LOL. It's about 45 days til Power Tour, so I pucker a little more with each passing day. The plumbing is an incredible feat, but I think we have it figured so we can close the hood. After-cool and ventilation system is no bargain either. I'll send you another pic in a couple weeks. Charley just called to give me some more skeptical remarks. When this '57 convertible goes around his Camaro, we'll see what he has to say... :eek:

I was thinking Steilows Chevelle.

Good luck Steve, will be cool when it's done.

" When this '57 convertible goes around his Camaro, we'll see what he has to say..."....Thems fightin words...... :mad:

That's a fight I want to see!

another shot of it pre-posed in the front of the 57

what are the specs on the turbos just out of curiosity? They look pretty small, but if you're basically just running 2 cylinders off each one I suppose they don't have to be that big.

Talk about quick spool up!

check out this little turbo! I'm thinking that when I build my next go-kart... one of these is going on it!

http://www.mjmturbos.com/images/SMALLEST.jpg

All I can say is that will be a tuning nightmare. Are the turbos running off two cylinders? I thought it would be, one cylinder, one turbo. That should be pretty cool though if you can get 'em all running the same.

I'd love to hear that run...it'll sound like a
C-5 Galaxy. You can never have enough hair dryers! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

sorry, need to get a new glasses prescription. Is that 8 turbos I see! Goodness, I should have looked closer before! I thought it was just 4!

Its will be running 8 in set in two banks of fours. One per hole.

That is crazy!! Any estimates on HP and TQ? I have no idea what to think lol. Hope it all works out in time for the power tour graemlins/thumbsup.gif Amazing..

I sent another picture to Jeff of the turbo manifold and the LS1 engine to post, since I don't know how to post pics on this board. We can only guess about HP and TQ until Robert's does the out-of-chassis dyno tune. My guess is 750HP and 650TQ will provide a decent fuel burn rate without things getting too hot. Turbo-lag should be minimal, but again...until dyno tune, we're guessing.

Need pics!!!!! LOL!!!!!! I can always post pics too in the future if you need. 750 HP sounds very doable to me. Has he picked a boost number yet?

I'm dying to see the intake plumbing! Will there be an intercooler? Does the radiator slide in front of the motor or ?


Jody

I asked LV for a overhead shot. As for the intercooler and radiator it will be a tight fit unless he mounts them on top of the car!!! graemlins/beers.gif Wait that wont work either its a convt. graemlins/waving.gif

Are you guys kidding about this or what?!?!?

Man, look at that thing!!! :eek:

NOPE not kidding at all, When you hear what sounds like a Lear Jet passing Queen Creek out on the highway, in the early morning, and see a red flash, just go back to sleep, its just LV going for a early morning ride

:D :D graemlins/thumbsup.gif

The HP and TQ forecast is just that...a "forecast". We won't know for sure until it's on the dyno at Robert's Racing. Depending on the turbo boost [somewhere between 15-20PSI], we could get more like 900HP. The pics of the intake plumbing will be another week, or two, and will be mind boggling. While we don't have an intercooler planned [it would interfere with the cosmetics/beauty of it all],we will be plumbing a 110V AC system and locate the evaporator cores in the fender well and use it as a pre-cooler for the induction air. The radiator will be on a tilt under the turbo manifolds and in front of the turbo exhaust outlets, however it will be covered with a shield/cowl and pretty much out of sight. Stay tuned boyz...it's gonna happen and be really sweet when it's all chromed and polished. More pics later next week... :D

Vroooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm
graemlins/thumbsup.gif
awesome LV hope to see ya on the Power Tour.

Please, please, please, record a sound clip when finished. Thas the only way my ears could hear such a beautiful sound. ;)

Might sound like THIS (http://fasttrackperformance.com/page5/Chow%20movie%20files/ChrisTTGN.wmv) previous post. :eek:

Click, Better bring a bunch of sticky letters along with you so you can stick LONG HAUL OR BUST on the back of that beast. That way someone will be able to read it when passed. Just kidding boys remember its a FUN RUN and not a street race.

All I'm gonna say is that somebody has too much time on their hands AND way too much money to play with!!

He, He!!

pdq67

LOL...I've never had too much $$$, and you wouldn't like following me around for a week looking for spare time. ;) :D

Steve-
If you have a free day, Chicane and I would LOVE to stop by the shop to check that bad bitch out in person. Nice job by the way. Call my cell-
245-6305
Tyler

Will do, Tyler. The car is at my buddy's shop in Wisconsin until completion of the turbo system, then it'll reside here in my LV shop [Arville/Russell Rd].

Holy crap! I just glanced at your web site pics...you have some major issues, yourself. LOL :eek:

very nice indeed. 900hp is quite a bit, but I would think with a setup like this, you could EASILY get much more than that. But I guess you dont really need anymore than that. Just curious to know if you are holding it back for some reason.

We're building it more for looks than power...more of a novelty thing for the show grounds, instead of the 1320. There's lots easier ways to make HP than this. We hope to print/video 1200HP on the dyno, then detune it for a more reliable setting.

yea thats what I was thinking. Just curious :D
