  1. I'm gainning interest again. This last year with a job change and a divorce slowed me down a bit the car is on the ground and at my garage now. My garage is packed full of junk and my goal is to get it turned in to a workshop to finsh the car.

  2. The car will be bellypanned nose to tail. Besides the nose and windshield base there may not be any other really good high pressure zones?? Scoop or scoops would make it easy and more choices. I need to make cardboard fuel tank, radiator and ducting, to see were things will really fit the best.

  3. Seal the front end save for a 2X4 bottom breather opening above the front splitter, below the bumper line.

    Seal the bottom of the engine bay similar to the Z432 FRP Undertray, and at the rear near the differential duct all that air up through the floor over your radiator, and out your back window area.

     

    In land speed racing this would be what EVERYBODY would do if it wasn't specifically forbidden!

     

    There is nothing wrong with letting air into the engine bay, as long as you can vent it to an area of low pressure. That back hatch area is one big super sucker...

     

    Insulate your tunnel VERY well.

    Run synthetic oil, and a tranny/differential oil pump and cooler setup.

     

    That should do it!cool.gif

     

    Second alternative: Radical slant-nose treatment on the front end, and a pair of Small Car Radiators under the master vac and battery venting to the front fenderwells. Same sealing treatment under the engine, and at the firewall to force all air through the pair of radiators.

    Yea I thought about taking air from the bottom but was worried about road debri and grime. Agreed A very well insulated tunnel is A must.

    Here are some pics I have collected over the years. Clearly.. I've been planning this out lol. Hope it helps.

    Yes they do help, Great pics thanks, looks like a pair of 6" to 8" flex tubing might be all you need for inlet if it was in a good air stream and you had some neg. air on the outlet. Do you think the fans would be able to work good in stop and go traffic with 2 8" hoses? My core size will be apx. 450 sq. inch one 16" fan for sure 2 if needed. I do like the NACA ducts maybe a one behind each seat in the lexan hatch Hmmmm

  5. My obsessiveness sometimes gets the best of me. I couldn't help myself, the axel flanges had a few thousands (.003"-.004") face run out so I make this tooling to true them in the car. Also trued the wilwood hats (inside and out) to the rotor.
