Fatty's Car.

[VWTurbo66]

I've been reading the forced induction forum for a few days now. Interesting that the Wolf engine management is being used on quite a few cars out there. It's become quite the popular engine management.

I noticed that Fatty hadn't posted pics of his car yet, so I figured i'd help out by hosting the images.

Check em out! Excuse some of the pics didn't come out, but you can sort of make out the flamed air brush work in the dark photo's.

With any luck, it will be running THIS weekend.

Cheers,

Whilst I would suggest it has built in turbo lag I would have to say it looks absolutely sensational.

Nice way of bringing the exhaust up thru the skirt.

Damn...
Now thats an interesting engine bay

Nice work and very original plumbing, keep us posted with the results. Agree with Zuffen about the lag but the holden bay is way tight.

Also are u using the original hydraulic fan pump for oil supply to the turbos?? cant see an oil cooler if u are. Its got me thinking as i will be bolting some hair dryers on soon.

Very creative.... Nice work... keep us posted

 

[Zuffen]

MaxPower,

That is a great idea using the fan pump to feed the turbo's on a closed loop oil system and a cooler to keep it all together. The Soarer cooler would be way too small.

It will be interesting to see if the intake temps are ever less than 80degC

 

[Lextreme II]

Speaking of intake temperature. I will be taking multiple sites for temperature changes in different locations of the inlet path. I will run my car for about 30 minutes, measure the enviromental temperature along with a infrared temperature gun and get Turbine, compressor, compressor outlet, intercooler inlet, intercooler outlet and intake temp.

This would be a great collection of data we can share.

Hi all,

I stopped by Fatty's workshop this evening and had a chat about the car again. He's was doing all the wiring of the little electronic toys that make it kick just a little more ass.

I thought you all might want to know the specs of the setup, so here it is before I forget it all.

The turbo's are a T3/T4 hybrid rated at 650hp each. The compressor housings are 0.5's, i'm not sure about the turbines but they are pretty small. There are twin 50mm wastegates with 6lb springs in each.

Boost is controlled with a turbosmart boost controller using the twin port approach which holds the wastegate shut at the low end of the boost range to bring boost on fast. It also has the ability to stage boost or have three preset levels depending on inputs. The engine will achieve 20lb boost before 3000 RPM.

About air intake temps, the intercooler is a massive 4" core. The same core is in use on another local guys sr20det nissan, and its average air temp during the day is around the 25-30 degree mark. At night with the help of a little due, the air temp drops to around 4 degrees. Fatty's car will have a CO2 spray bar system on the intercooler as well. This will help keep the air temp seriously low even when the boost is high. The two pod air intakes draw air from outside of the bonnet, but inside the air scoop that fits over the top of it. Its actually a standard group A scoop.

The fuel system is pretty extreme too. An 11 litre surge tank in the boot is filled from the main tank, then two 600 HP pumps in parallel deliver fuel via filters to the front of of the car. Fuel returns to the main tank via a fuel cooler that is mounted under the car.

About other coolers, there is a custom aluminium radiator that is based on a v8 supercar core going in behind the intercooler with a massive thermo fan on it. There is also additional coolers for transmission fluid and oil.

The dash was going together when I was there. At this stage he had in the 11,000 RPM autometer tacho, airfuel meter, water temp, turbosmart gauge, and something else... didn't see closely enough. All the gauges are the autometer silver ultralite stuff.

The Engine management is wolf 3d v4, injectors are 550cc each.

All in all it should make 800hp without too much problem. Then Fatty started talking about boost spiking to 50psi. I think that will be happening after a lot of other upgrades, but you get the general idea of where the car is heading.

Did I mentioned this is all street legal?

Cheers,

Ian.

 

[Lextreme II]

Tell us more about the engine? Stock? Modified?

 

[LEXUSV8NZ]

Just tell us more about everything

Logan

 

[1UZ-MX83]

50PSI???

(Hope no-one kills themselves in it... )

 

[The Flea]

Was he planning for space travel or just driving. This is one bad machine.

 

[VWTurbo66]

ITS ALIVE!!! We finally got it running this afternoon. Still a lot of tuning to do but it sounds awesome and it gets revs VERY quickly. Anthony reckons he can hear the wastegates opening when its free reved, but personally I couldn't hear **** cause the 3" exhaust is blowing straight thru with no muffler at the moment.

I've taken some video of it running which I'll convert to AVI and upload monday when I'm back at work.

For starters we've configured the eboost controller to 6lb till the car gets some chassis dyno time. Free reving the engine has it hitting that 6lb boost easily at around the 5000 RPM mark. I say around becuase it gets to 7000 rpm that quickly its hard to say exactly what RPM its doing when the boost comes on. When its on the road driving I think it will be virtually lag free.

If it does this with no load, it will most likely hit full boost easily by around 2800 RPM.

If anyone has an idea on how to correctly wire up the factory alternator and can email me the info or post a link it would be appreciated. For the moment we've been runing the car by jump starting it from another vehicle...

Cheers all,

Ian.

Cant wait till the videos up, and until its been tuned and running sweet
(Maybe some more videos;-))
