Australian Belly Tank

[Dr Goggles]

I'm thinking it's probably in the nines comp wise,we could reconfigure it to run NA.....even if it made exactly the same power as the motor we have it would be bulletproof and we could rev the ring out of it, it's about doing work...........10k is a lot of work....

[Dr Goggles]

It's less than we have in the current motor.......

[Jon]

Which components are the rev limiting ones in the current build?

I would think the cheapest sure fix would be a set of pistons to up the compression ratio, dont up the rpm, just up the gear.
9 to 1 is a blower engine.

We're only at 9.6 static Sid.

Save your money, Doc.

I'm beginning to think what you have is a surer bet -

Correspondence with the owner of the engine, via E-bay -

Dear indy88,

What is the static compression ratio?
Do you have a dyno sheet from after the re-build?
Do you have clearances documented post rebuild?
Where were the last 4 hours run at, and in what?

Thank you.

Response -

Dear 4dflthed,

It was last run in 1996 at Disney Land Speedway IRL Indycar race in a Lola Indycar. We have no paper work or specs.
Thanks

4 hours in an Indy car is about the life expectancy of one of these engines.

Given the temperamental history of these things, I'm thinking it's likely pretty well used up.

2 would fit pretty easy

[Stainless1]

Jon, he would have to cover the wheels to put in 2

Would you rather mow 10 times a year, or harvest once?

I have no recipes for lawn clippings.

I have no recipes for lawn clippings.

I hear they are good in brownies, oh wait that was grass clippings and it would only be for those in Colorado and Washington State.

I just got home from taking my Mum to the supermarket
She's crashed her car and Father is too cheap to buy her a new one
When I got beck to Mum's place , she told me she had a family heirloom to give me
Something that had been in her house since she was young and the family thought I should have it

Grumm, what are the details, size, is it a model, a tether car, powered.

What's the underside look like?

Oh, I wouldn't let Goggles play with it if I were you.
