So as the title implies I figured I could add more about the engine featured in the most recent issue of PHR. As you can see in the first photo we had to get creative when we had to come up with a cost effective way to mount our air turbine to two Holley carburetors. I came up with the idea of a simple box with 3 holes in it, the boss supplied the tool box, and Joe my compadre made it all work. How did it work? I would have to say that it worked much better than it had any right to. Once that was mounted we were able to record and monitor a lot more data. Although the real important one was air/fuel ratio. As you can also see the engine was in full drag, wearing mufflers, the actual chassis style headers and ignition system.
In case you wondered our dyno cell is actually installed below ground level forcing us to route the exhaust system upwards then outwards. All told the length of the exhaust is considerable, terminating into no less than six large truck mufflers. Here's a little vid of one of the last tests before packing up and heading to Lima, Ohio. Enjoy and please feel free to comment and ask any questions. J.Rob
