Scatter shields are only used on Pro drag cars for saftey regs on the NRA circuit in america. They basically cover the gearbox bellhousing area in case the engine/gearbox goes bang.

I dont think you gonna need one unless you are planning to run 1000bhp , methonal etc lol

erm, best get one then!

Every rotor on the strip in NZ must have one fitted as well. Don\'t think that you have to be making 1000bhp to have one!! I\'m surprised they aren\'t manatory in the U.K. actually.

So is it quite a common occurance Rotor Drag motors blowing up on the strip in NZ, must be quite scary with bits of metal flying around?

I suppose when a Piston engine blows and throws a rod through the crank case its more dangerous then a rotary engine

I have heard mega horror stories eg........

A flywheel broke up and cut through the bell housing and tunnel. It then cut the drivers legs off after that. Another guy dies when the clutch came apart and inbedded in his forehead. I will try and find the links for you



Anything that revs over 8K this is a must.


On the plus side. looking good son. When is the expected road debut

Its a very scary thought and judging by how far back the engine is the bell housing i would buy one.

Hope this helps

Just moved the thread into the correct section (left a redirect on also).

Wonderful project, can\'t wait to see and hear this thing in action.

NICE ONE!

That looks awesome.
Who owns it? or is it yours?
Will it be at Rotorstock 3 ??
How many more questions can i think of?  :rolleyes:
Ive never seen a Supercharger like that before, it looks like a turbo bolted on the front.  :confused:

it belongs to my cousin Dave,  he is not computer literate but is a wizz with anything metal.   We were both working on it but i havent been able to as i have been busy.  The whole lot has to come out now to put it all back properly now we know it fits.  This is where i come in, i have left it to him when it comes to all the ali work, but i get involved in re wiring and plumbing, plus the engine rebuilding. etc etc.

What do I say! Give it if it\'s due, She is looking out there man. I am also going for nice look too. I have about 4 pics of it with the dummy engine in. which means it did not look that good at the time. Although this was about 7 weeks ago. Pip does not want me release any pics at this time, as he intends to put all on the web when it\'s completed.

He is taking his time on this one cos he wants to as good as it gets. and as he doing the whole thing as a sponser, it\'s between jobs. but it\'s getting very close to the end so I am told.  :3gears-lh

If Pip wishes to keep it under wraps at the mo then you should deffo do that until its show time :2eek

Na, I recon this other one looks the nuts, I hope it turns out Ok. Good luck with it! As I say my thing should not be too far behind. What blower is it running ? I am also going for the big six pot brakes as those standard ones, as good as they are, just won\'t cut it in warp drive!

Doweled, ported, semi dry sump, work done on the rear axel, Water injection again, brakes, Rad, sump modified. Turbonetics  T72 blower, Multi plate clutch, gearbox shifted back around 5 inches. About 11lbs of boost. Should be around 550BHP at the rear end. Under bonnet re-spay, braided pips, polished plenum and alternator. I hope! Custom built manifold,   Everything balanced as well as he can get it.  :Thumbsup!
