We have made a few changes to the car to try and get it to run a low 8 or maybe a high 7.

The engine has been fitted with a RB Motorsport dry sump kit so that we can rev it a bit more than 9000 revs.

Here are some photos of the dry sump pan

Here are a few photos of the dry sump tank.

The feed and return pipes are -16 with a -20 for the vent.

It has a drain in the bottom with two 110v heaters and it spilts in half to make it easy to clean.

Here are a few photos of the new light weight rear Wilwood brakes, the disc and bell are only 3.4lbs in weight.

That is a big saving over the std discs

Here are 2 photos of my new light weight Bogart 15" x 8" wheels they are just under 4kg each :shock:





They looked very bling so they are now matt black will have to take some more pics.

Awesome! My fave front bumper etc! Always wanted that one, and the drag rear wing like that.

Same colour I painted mine too

Hi Steve

wondered how long it would be before you spotted it lol

I got a 3" deep splitter made for it when the engine is back in the hole the carbon flat floor
will be 3" off the ground.

keithcowie

A few pics of the head, it is having a few very minor mods from last year, but nothing major as it seems to be working really well, unlike the cams which are getting completely replaced with a very different lift/duration.

Here are the photos from inside the dry sump tank,its a work of art.

Are you not temped to go icebox for charge cooling as it is a pure drag car?

keithcowie

Hi dumped

With the fuel that we run and the big turbo on the 1/4 mile the intercooler is still working well

By the time you have done your burnout with no airspeed I would guess the temp over the cooler is elevated by quite a margin. Of course you would not have this with the icebox and maybe not need such a large volume of heat exchanger. If you could then tune to the optimum of the icebox i guess you would have more power over the 1/4. What the hp to weight differences etc would be I dont have a clue. As you say you are getting on excellent with the fuel you use and dont know if you use NOS or not (not last time I checked) or how airated(sp) your fuel is but as you know, more air in is usually a good thing.

Ice box seems like a proper pain in the arse for prepping for runs though lol. Also maybe not convenient for topspeed runs at TOTB etc.

Proper dedication all the best keith

pictures of rear of sump. Very little room to play with, no room between crank and central area of sump due to increase in stroke, no room under sump due to steering rack, very little room at either side. sorry for quality, pics from phone.

keithcowie

Here is a photo of the -16 feed and return lines they are about 110" in length, they will hold 2L of oil lol



I also bought 15ft of -12 pipe and a single 1m pipe with -12 fittings.



The next lot of -12 fitting cost a bit :shock: :shock: :shock:

Sticky.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Can't wait to see the new 2008 car in action.

always wondered what you could do to a cosworth, if you had a cossie - what would you do to it and how much HP/torque do you rekon you could get out of it?

awesome car

big_wig_074

awesome but i cant help wondering about the brakes,if you have gone to all the effort of the light weight disks is there a reason you cant find some lighter calipers?regulations?as i would have thought you can get lighter still?
other than that i wish you luck in some awesome 1/4 mile times

keithcowie

Hi

The std R32 GTR rear 2 pot calipers are not that heavy, plus if we were to use another one we would have to make up a mounting bracket.

The front calipers are light weight

looking good keith

Are you going to mount the engine any lower now the sump is shallower, or are the driveshaft/prop angles not really suitable for allowing that?

Stavros

The lowest part of sump/diff is no shallower by looks of it

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Oh, fair enough, im not familiar enough with the RB sump to know, just know that on most engines you manage to drop them a bit further typically.
