while Phase 7 is still in progress, it's time to start another Phase:

Phase 8: Turbocharging The Rear Engine

the twin-engine concept has proven itself with standard engines,
so now it's time to start adding power, with help of booooosssstttt .


the first part of the Phase 8 story is all about acquiring the most important parts:



and getting custom bits and pieces made too!

Wicked!!!!!

[cybernck]

well the front engine has traction problems as it is, so we need to get that sorted out first .

[stef]

I thought that turbo would be next stage You should visit http://www.streetracing.pl and introduce you project at “Projekty i ich rezultaty” (about project) or “Forum in English”. I think much more people will be impressed.

just a little explanation, as the story makes it look like we're
doing a whole turbo conversion in just a weeks time - Phase 8
updates are not "in real time", we've been doing preparations and
gathering parts for a few months but i've decided that it's best
to present it all logically grouped and arranged step by step,
at the same time as actually doing the conversion .

thanks.

[cybernck]

the fourth part of the Phase 8 story!


in this update - turbo mounted, exhaust made and chargecooler installed:



it was time to start it up and go for a drive as it was a race with time
to get in time on a race (402SR event) , which starts tomorrow!


you can find the 4th part of the story (with 32 pics) on THIS PAGE.

Incredible... What's next? 2*Mi16turbo? ;] Or maybe third one

[cybernck]

when we finish the turbo conversion on this engine, we'll replicate everything
on the front one. and then lower the C/R and increase boost on both .
