The first plans for the LSR where to run a double heat exchanger using 21"wheels The avalibility of the 21"wheels were a problem. so we had to use 23" diameter wheels. there are only so many made each year. We have a fixed gear ratio so we are running at a slightly longer cutoff for the needed torque for the larger diameter tires. When we did some draw bar tests on the car it showed that it would be better to run the standard engine for the first runs as it showed that we could do the record with out the additional heat exchanger. The pressure will be at 2500psi for these tests and 2500rpm. of course the pressure will be increased as well as an additional heatexchanger at a later date.
Now about the dyno tests ...we run dyno tests for a lot of reasons not just to see how fast it will go...,. be patient... The last time I was pushed about this data on the dyno was on our MK2 engine. It as it was over 30% efficiency . Not much said after that. Chuk still needs your support there are still things to do plus the travel expences. Those of you that have seen the LSR car know that it is the real thing and can appreciate the effort that it takes. Don't just sit on the side lines and be judgemental , be part of the team.
