TINGY Posted 21December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 21December, 2016 Slow progress but the car should be running this afternoon then the car will be safely tuned and the engine will be run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 21December, 2016 Report Share Posted 21December, 2016 TingyNice project!any issues with the turbo that close to the motor? Do you wrap the turbo in a blanket or fit a heat shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 21December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 21December, 2016 There was talk of wrapping the hot side or making a sock or whatever so we will see, my son told me everything else has heat shield wrap on it so may as well do the turbo as well i think, i can't wait to see this thing run, it's been a loooong time coming.

TINGY Posted 9January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 9January, 2017 The "whale" has just gone on the dyno and made 400 rwkw (535hp) on 98 octane with 13lb of boost. The plan is to now run the engine in properly and then it will be tuned properly on ethanol and run about 38lb boost and see what happens, the concensus is over 1000hp.

TINGY Posted 9January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 9January, 2017 Almost, but not quite, more than one needs...This is a crazy stupid engine build that will only end up in one place, on the drag strip at Eastern Creek. Absolutely Rob the power will be too much for a street car and the electronic mods being done to it are a bit of an eye opener and nothing that i would have thought of but there are some clever dudes working on this car. I have had quite a few....discussions i suppose you could call them (arguments) with my son regarding this car, he doesn't drink or smoke and hates drugs, so all i can do is support him with this project. The engine had over 500hp before this build and used to push your body back in the car seat like i have never felt before it had so much torque.

TINGY Posted 12February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 12February, 2017 The "Whale" is on the road and running ok.Finally, after a long time coming and lots of fine tuning, no major setbacks yet so fingers crossed for a good run until the final tune after the run in period.

MFX Posted 14March, 2017 Report Share Posted 14March, 2017 I saw he was holding the cruise control switch at the end. Is that connected to the boost control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 15March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 Cruise control button has been adapted through the Motec ECU to operate the Trans Brake now, pull on the switch and it engages the trans brake, it works the same as a drag car basically, let it go and it launches the car.

brian in buddina Posted 18January, 2018 Report Share Posted 18January, 2018 30 psi where do you figure is the weakest link in the chain? What do you think is going to break first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9fan Posted 18January, 2018 Report Share Posted 18January, 2018 That thing is going to pull a hell of a road train with that tow bar, but I suspect it is there to make it look a road standard family car ! As with any car grip\acceleration is limited by tyre grip so what size wheels and tyres will it run - road and strip ? Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
