Turbo rotary Fiat 600 project

Yes charge cooler rad is going up the front in the air dam/front spoiler , water pipes run through tunnel inside the car with the gear linkage bits etc . Engine rad goes up front as well and will be fed cold air through front spolier and then ducted out the bonnet . Should work ok .

[600gaz]

whats the weight target Gaz?

Under 700 kilos but as near 600 kilos as possible . It\'s only small so this helps , lol .

Whats the bhp/tonne figure your aiming at ? Going to be monumental !

[600gaz]

It should be somewhere around 800bhp per ton hopefully . Hard to say exactly yet as depends on final weight and power of course . 300bhp per ton is fast so it should be nippy , lol .

[Will66]

800bhp/tonne.  That\'ll be nippy.

[re japi]

lmao Thats gonna bee fast! If it gets all that power to tarmac

I have a proper designed anti-squat chassis with wheelie bars and the engine in the back on wide wheels . You can\'t get better than that so that\'s why i used this type of car (plus it weighes fooook all) . It will be quick , should run 9\'s on street rubber . :Thumbsup!

What class are you going to compete in?

[shaunwil]

The wheelie bar will get plenty of abuse too.

Can\'t wait to see this run down the drag strip, going to be awesome

Normal RWYB mostly or maybe enter the street eliminator for a laugh . Mainly for street use really as i like cruising about the most . :Giggle

Yes wheelie bar is essential in rear engine car and even in some powerfull front engine ones on drag slicks . They have to be exactly the right length or else they lever the car\'s rear wheels off the ground and make it bounce instead of wheeling (defeats the object) so not as simple as they look . Mine will be on a frame that i can unbolt for street use incase Plod takes a dim view of any old ladies tripping over them etc , lol .

How long will take that monster to be finished? I mean, we are coming to Rotorstock, I want to see that thing launch!

[shaunwil]

At what point do you need a parachute

Shaun

[Grant Monkhouse]

8s otlr quicker I think, or over 150mph iirc

[Will66]

150 mph terminal speed requires a Parachute under NHRA rules which is the American Governing Body.  I believe the FIA and MSA mirror these but I cannot find the specific regulations in either of their rule books.  I would fit one.
