Car is fully built and will be going for the 230 mph record for the class at Bonnevile.
Finally got more time to work on this.
Turbo got here a few weeks ago. Just a little guy
Started by moving the engine around in the bay to get the manifold in behind.
Fought a little but got it into place nicely.
When I went to fit the turbo on, it wouldn't fit through the top, up from the bottom or any other way. I knew I needed to modify the firewall to get the turbo to fit so I thought I might as well modify it properly. I cut it out and will make a new patch recessed back to give the turbo lots of room. Brake lines will be rebent to go lower as well.
Exhaust/Intake are not oriented the way I need it so will rotate it tomorrow. Also going to mount the air-water intercooler inside the firewall to help it stay cool.
Made the mounts for the fuel cell and also drilled the hole for the parachute mount though the rear facia. It will be a round tube coming through mounting to a plate on the trunk floor and a removable plate on the back so the chute can be removed, a license plate installed and the hole is hidden.
