Hi there! It has been quite silent after the promised test run two weeks ago. The reason is that the engine broke down after just a few runs. At first we had no idea why this happened even if someone mentioned the reason already on the scene of tragedy as a possible fault. We didn’t want to tell anyone before we knew…
We tested the car more yesterday and also got it outside. We discovered our first problems and the guys are no fixing them so hopefully it will be done this weekend when we are gonna test drive it for real. The problems was a leaking exhaust seal and troubles with the wast gate we also got some…
The beast is alive! The engine, gearbox and powertrain is fitted and last night it finally was time for a start up. Everything worked and the team couldn’t hide their smiles. And boy does it sound good!
Now the engine has been fitted and now it’s time to start measuring and mounting the intake pipes and valves for the compressor.
Here is a pure sound video with clips from the 2011 black smoke racing season. Many have asked for a video with just engine sound so i hope you enjoy this.
