getting back to the air con type cooler setup...i have been bench racing this idea for a few years and i believe it to be a very worthy setup....the way i originally wantd to set it up was to have the a/c gas passing through what would have been the water passages of a liquid to air cooler but despite the cooler being on the low pressure side of the a/c system(after the TX valve) the system "equallizes" when turned off so the pressures would be too high for the average ally cooler...so round two which i believe would work a treat....
run a a/c system basically as intended..only instead of the heat exchanger being under the dash to provide cool air to occupants it would be housed in a sealed container filled with coolant which when mixed right stays liquid down to -30 degrees!!!!!!!!! then use a small electric pump to circulate this super cold coolant through a liquid to air cooler
oh and for those saying what about the power drain of a/c..........................
the beauty of this system over air to air is this system gets colder the longer the engine is run....meaning say at the drags you get the system cold in the lanes and burnout and when approaching the line the a/c pump can be turned off........if you think you can create enough heat in under 15 seconds to take the chill off -30 degree coolant then good luck with what your doing.......remember that air to air cops massive heatsoak from the radiator the longer it sits and is only JUUUST becoming effective near the traps
my switching idea for the a/c pump would be via a relay triggered by the brake light switch......think about it......very effective during a hillclimb run where braking would also see the engine being retarded by the hp drain of the a/c pump and would take a lil temp out at the same time........

if anyone sees any probs with this or has suggestions PLEASE seriously get in touch as im trying to perfect this system BEFORE i build it for my project twin turbo V6 UC

All interesting thoughts revmaniac! I'll mull that one over in my head a bit more!

The only downside i can see sofar is the extra weight to be carried by a drag car by all the good gear!

Cheers!

The MRMAD torana was built by Joe after he sold the old red joeblo lj which he had a psi blown small block in which he said to daniel with the cal400 torana. He then got the twin turboed engine from Ed Thorton in the states. He has a twin turboed 57 chev that runs mid 6's in PSCA. There was a pic of the car in street machine with the psi blown small bock in it.

I got to see this run twice at the winternationals on the weekend a 7.18 at 200ish mph from memory but with 3 wheels on the ground was a wild ride. Must say its an awesome site to stand there and watch.

Daniel-Cal400 has always been the same car, not the ex-red Joe Blo Car, Cal400 was red with a alcohol 308, then it was flat black with a blown 308, it was then sent to a chassis shop for more work then sold-it then became GOTAGO-street machine cover a few years back, then Daniel bought it back.

Did you see the wheels come up for the second time around the 330' mark??

Holeeeee Farrrrkkk.. He needs twin wheelie bars ( ive never liked the single bar...) and set em a bit tighter! Cant steer if those front runners arent touching the ground all pass!!

Another question... I notice the flames out the pipes on the start line.. that's some kind of anti-lag no doubt.. Can anyone explain how they do it? Is it as simple as a fuel injector firing straight into the exhaust turbine?

Cheers!

I think the way anti-lag works is it dumps extra fuel and timing into the engine and turbo's during staging which in turn spools the turbos up before the revs get going-as in the turbo's are working as if they're under load but the car aint moving!, and yes very insane pass, maybe he was using the force to drive?

MrMad is once tough car. if your going to cut a bathurst xu1 at least it was done well and its absolutely mad. i cant believe how loose it gets through the 1/4 mile. thats insane. i read in street machine that he was transpanting the engine into something else. not 100% on that though. tough car

I'd have to guess it would be something with a much longer wheelbase and probably a more aerodynamic body... My GUESS.... a doorslammer/funny car...

I think MR MAD should be re-name CRAZY BASTARD.

Can't get over the single wheelie bar either. You would think 2 would be a must with a car that picks the fronts up mid track.

he isnt transplanting taht donk, I belive he is doing the same sort of setup, but with a Big Block! and its going into a longer wheelbased full chassis car.......

the reason it blows flames out the pipes when its staging is because
his foot is flat on the throttle with the rev limiter on , thats unburnt fuel
igniting every second or third revolution :spoton:

Dave: I dont think thats quite right, I think it is an anti lag system used to spool the turbos up on the start line!

I have no doubt his foot IS flat to the boards being held on a trans brake, but i think the fuel is more from the anti lag than just "overly rich"

Cheers mate

Defintiely right there dave! I'd like to know more about the anti lag and engine management myself!!

I think anyone who straps themselves into a missile that has its front wheels off teh ground around HALF TRACK has gotto have cannonBALLS!!

Gotto see thing thing run in the flesh one of these days!! the videos are amazing!!

CAL400 was painted flat black last time I saw it & was going to be used as a burnout car.You never know it might come back to race.

MRMAD is great to watch when I saw it at the street drags,driver just doesn't back off at all,crazy.

I'm reasonably sure it's a manual so if he takes his foot of the gas the g/box will neutralise.

Air shifted lenco from memory,I kind of remember seeing Ben Bray there helping them sort it out last year although I haven't seen the car in a couple of months.
