A purpose built street car

And it's not even a cabrio - what was I thinking 
Jyrki

Its not to late,its easy to swap the body still,you want me to find a donor and yellow for you and send it over,I think I have a slightly scratched one still
On a more serious note,are you making the inner front fender area from steel as well? I read a build thread on the Red victor3 FIA Pro mod car and they did it as the rules for them required it,I am thinking of doing it as it looks like it offers alot more protection to your feet if the worse happens

The SFI 25.4 requires 0.6mm steel floor only under the driver, so I cut all other pieces out of 0.8mm aluminum. There are quite a few bars around the driver, but what you're saying makes sense and I will reconsider.

Hi Jyrki,

Missed your build up till now
Very impressive, look forward to seeing it out
Cheers
Kev

[AntLockyer]

Yes! Looking great.

[valtteri]

Wow, that thing looks awesome! :0

[Fasterbrit]

Very, very

Will this race at SCC?

I am not too optimistic about racing at SCC this year. I have a lot of things still on the ToDo-list. Also, the Finnish FHRA tech div visited the garage two days ago, and they suggested a couple of changes to the car to make it safer.

Yesterday I picked up the last parts of the body from the paint shop:

Awesome work but knowing you personally for long time, it's sort of something to expect

just loving this build

Jyrki,
looks beautifull,what will you do to allow for engine expansion trying to pull the intake apart?as it is will it expand a similar amount? or will you have some sort of connectors to allow for this movement?

cheers richie

Beautiful build Jyrki! And refreshing to see the use of a real tube chassis and still sticking to the street car title... safety first.
But looking at that engine, I get the feeling that the streets are really short in Finland? Or how do you solve the cooling?

This build is so 'Luftsick' 
I'm loving it!!

Hi,

The manifold is not done yet, it's not even fully welded yet. My initial idea was to cut the other side runners, and use silicone hoses and clamps to allow movement. Just like in every previous turbo engine. However, I might take the risk and install it as is; the sidewalls of the plenum allow some movement, and the temp/growth of the long block vs. intake is unknown. If needed, it is VERY EASY to cut it later (unless I brake something first  ). The watercooled Subaru has a 1-piece intake.
So, not decided yet.

There will be electric fans, and fuel is gonna be E85. Not sure if the fans are gonna do their job. Back in 2009 I had this engine in N/A setup (11.8:1 compression) on E85, and with type 1 cooling, fan rpm slowed 40% from original, I could not get the heads above 120C. At WOT you cannot keep it cool no matter what you do, but that is just X seconds at time. In the street (city, not highway) and pits it's just cruising at idle. We'll see (there will be oil and cylinder head temp sensors).

Keep the comments coming - it's easier to solve possible issues now.

ive been using wigins clamps on the inlet side of things, they allow a lot of movment and are so easy to break the joint for servicing etc.

I find they work great always seal up and can be used on air or liquids. from memory you can have about 5mm in expantion and 10 DEG of movment.

I use them all the time, i find buying the clamps and sealing ring from ebay and then i machine the ferrals myself ( i make them for some chassis shops)


Hope it helps.

Cracking Build by the way

[bang]

martin i found sime clamp that work better than them you show.

try vibrant performance they are stronger, but they only go down to 2,5" diameter. i use the on pressure side of turbo.



But Nice build jyrki

[Martin]

just looked them up, very nice

the main reason i used the wiggins ones is that there used on aircraft, so i kind of figured they would hold togther lol

[Marty]

Absolutely STUNNING!

Just AWSOME!

Never seen a thing like that before.......thanks to exist.

[Jyrki]

Some progress..

Got the plumbing done

[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

and the intake welded and anodized

[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Then it was time to assemble the engine

[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Next tasks: weld a few more brackets, finish welding the charge pipes, clean all tanks, hoses etc, assemble and check for leaks.
The biggest single task ahead is wiring (quite a few sensors around the car). Then another million little things...

keep it up

Tomi borrowed scales from Mika (THANKS!) and we weighted the cars. The new car is 752kg with driver and all tanks full, but still missing the full steel body, windows, wheeliebars, chute and probably something else too. Weight race-ready estimated to be around 880kg + possible new ballast (now the ballast consists of only the 31kg battery tray in front of front axle and 12kg of lead next to the fuel cell).
The weight distribution is estimated to be appr. 57% rear – 43% front thanks to the location of a number of heavy components: IC, tanks, batteries, turbo etc.

Tanks and hoses cleaned and tested for leaks (had to fix a transmission oil leak), all fluids are in, pushrods and rockers installed. Next: bleed brakes and clutch, wiring harness…

Excellent
so three weeks today we will see it loaded on the trailer heading for norway?

Making good progress

Nice! Just found your thread. Great work. This is going to be one bad a$$ car.
