    I hope so, however to do 200mph I'll need to add another 2 gears to the box

    No idea how this is achieved, can you not just get a custom final drive like a 3.1?

    I'll just send the box to SQS and have the extra gears installed, easy done.

    The most important part, the electronics, and some wiring products, full car loom will be mil-spec.



    44 rolls of Raychem spec-44 cable



    And this monstrous shiny thing is the charge cooler, ice water/dry ice reservoir and 2 huge Bell cores inside, looks like I won't be having a passenger then.

    Thats a hell of a lot of wire! looks like you've got everything planned out well already, is there any part of the car not figured out yet?

    Erm, I suppose just putting it all together, got most of the parts just not sure how or where anything is going to be positioned.
    Once the shell is home I'll do a dry build, I think I'll install a spare engine and see if I can get it up and running myself on the MoTec, it's something I want to learn anyway.

    Whoa totally blown away by this - will the engine be dry sump lubricated?

    Default The fastest Nova in the world

    It is seriously good stuff, DR-25 heat shrink, ridiculously priced, as is anything mil spec to be fair.
    Yes I've got Pace dry sump kit but possibly changing for a Peterson system, I'm having a one off billet sump pan made which will
    Incorporate a bottom end girdle for the engine, a bit more strength won't harm.
    I'm also after a different style of dry sump pump, one which allows an auxiliary pump to be driven off the rear.



    I'm using a mechanical fuel pump from Aeromotive to keep up with fuel demand and also to minimise electrical circuits.



    Here you can see the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, a 100 micron filter for pre pump and a 40 micron filter for pre rail

    Although I have just bought a 10 micron System One filter which I'll probably use pre fuel rails instead



    Fuel lines are Teflon coated and I'm using the following sizes
    -12an from tank to pre pump filter
    -12an from pre filter to pump
    -10an from pump to post filter
    -10an from post filter to fuel rail
    -10an from rail to reg
    -10an from reg to tank
    May seem a bit big but those are specs from Aeromotive to prevent cavitation on the pump.

    Fuel injectors I have 2 sets of ID2000 and a set of ID1000, I think initially I'll use 4x1000 & 4x2000's, as long as these cope with the quantity of ethanol , there's always the option of adding a 9th injector pre throttle body or pre turbo.
