JMortensen Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Owner says he just got it running and is finishing up the rear wing. What he's got there looks pretty good. http://www.speedlab.se/wordpress/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Looks pretty cool, but also looks like the corvette I built on NFS Carbon. Lot of work done to that thing, gotta respect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Wow. Now that's getting air out of the engine compartment. Wonder what all the baffles around the carb are for? jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Wow. Now that's getting air out of the engine compartment. Wonder what all the baffles around the carb are for? I'm guessing there is a scoop that goes on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Maybe so, just not shown in the pics. Conventional thinking among the circle track guys is the air cleaner up in the windstream plays havoc with the pressure differentials in the carb. I'd like to see a pic of the footbox. With those ducts, it looks like the pedals would have a lot of offset, unless the driver is a midget. Those spindles are impressive, along with the rest of the fab work. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube80z Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Search for hemipanter on google and you'll find the designers home page. You can buy a book on how to create your own from him. I've been tempted just because I seem to collect books on one off racing cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 For comparison, here's a pic of Scott Murphy's ex-trans am vette, refitted to GT-1 specs, at a CMP track day. You can see the nice cowl induction airbox. Under the airbox is an ex nascar SB2.2 making a little over 900hp. Wow. The Hemipanter gives me a woody. That guy finances these projects building guitars?

JMortensen Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I think the scoop goes to the front, and the vanes try to direct the air all around the filter. You don't see exactly the same thing in Tune to Win, but it's not hard to apply the pictures in that book of airboxes and vanes to what is going here.
