turbo with port injection on methanol

[steve anderson]

Hi Steve, most interesting car! Have you don't anything to help keep the block attached to the crankcase?

What do people in America make of the car? I was pondering that the other day as I have been watching lots of Roadkill Garage and other shows of that type. All those massive engines producing huge amounts of power and torque. I don't know much about Bonneville so maybe a car like yours isn't so odd?

Also I think that's the shorted spark plug lead I have ever seen on your number 4 cylinder there!

Head studs ,  washers  (flat )  and nuts (12 point) are from ARP . no stretch like grade 5  , washers are maybe ground flat so no squish there . When I tighten the head  nuts they don't become loose later . All the threads in engine are replaced with US thread inserts , no problems so far .. The head sealing is my main concern so far , I use English std. head gasket , with Copper Coat spray sealer .  With the turbo pressure ( 5# boost initally) I will watch head more ..  The car generates a lot of interest from some  , they are amazed that I would use a engine this old and small , (060 overbore) .. There probably is not another in USA .. Certainly not doing this !!   Roadkill one of my favorites , Yes Bigger is the mind set here mostly ..  I inspect cars at B ville for safety  , the variety of vehicles is amazing ..  All sizes and  configurations .. Ignition is Electromotive dead fire set up , signal comes from flywheel setup .. Plug wires are the best ..

Hi Steve,
The whole project looks great,
Will you need to cut back on valve over lap and compression ratio with going to a turbo,
What figures have you been achieving on a two way run with the current set up
Also what are the HP and Torque figures now and what are you hoping to achieve in the future

Great to see out side the Box thinking

Keep it up
