| Water Injection Newb Year: Diff Make: Many Different Model: Lots |
Hi I'm K. Albert and I haven't had a drink 2 days, wait, this isn't AA. LOL. I live in Mexico and I'm part owner of LAMP LLC which plays around with race cars and right now were building a proto-type off road turbo'd car which will be the 1st one in SCORE International off road racing. With Sal Fish blessings and the Tech inspectors approval be involved in a pilot test program to see how we perform. This car weighs 500 kg. and has 500+ HP. The suspension has been designed to allow the car to run in ground affects (very low) for hi-speed or high with long travel (28") for running threw the hoop de doo's. The car we'll be running against weigh 4,000 lbs so we'll be running with a avantage. Another little project going on is a Pro Modified Import drag car and our LSR salt racing car which were going to try to be the first to go 300 MPH in a door slammer on the salt flats. |

It's easier to go here and look then ask some questions. Mel Adjusted's Zoints Profile The one car we'll be running will have 5 bar boost. We ran a car at 5 bar years ago on toluene to qualify then cut it back to 2 bar to race without any problems. We figure running 5 bar with a intercooler, a prototype Zex Ejector Air Amplifier and W/A injection will keep the combustion temps down and under control. If needed we'll run propane instead of fuel in our nitrous system to help keep temps down. The desert racer is a animal. It will be running between .5 to 2.5 bar boost. controlable by the driver. Because of the conditions it will be running a W/A injection system seems the way to go to make it relibable. The engine in our drag car is a VH45 Infiniti Indy engine taken from 3.0L to 5.0L and the desert racer uses a EJ2.5 Subaru engine built by Cosworth. |
