New 60X finnish ST
New 60X finnish ST
Parallel identical turbos fed by three cylinders each. One external wastegate operating both turbos. Oil sump and hence no oil pan. Instead of oil pan an A/W intercooler. Turbos in series with supercharger and supercharger operates all the time. Combined max pressure about 5bar. Additional A/W cooler in the intake manifold.
Engine will also be mounted really back (~40cm) in the chassis and I'd bet that's why valve cover has been made lower
that is one crazy engine to be sure! Someone will certainly be having some fun.

Dang - there must be something in the water in Finland.
I've seen some very interesting work come out of that country.
Beers,
Matt - part Finn and proud of it.
It looks to me that this would be a full on drag race engine only, you'd have to put an IC for any other use. Anyone know what IP they're using? I can't tell where the lines go after they dissapear down beside the intake.
AAhh yes, now I notice the two REALLY BIG BLUE fittings on either end of the intake....

HoleshotHolset They might be using water injection. A great many purpose-built diesel drag racers and pullers run without an IC of any kind and just spray a ton of water down the intake under boost.

Wow - one gallon sounds like a lot. I know people that go through a quart or two in a 1/4-mile pass or a single sled pull. My Dad's truck will empty the reservoir (2-quart) in two or three good pulls on the highway...he's running the two biggest nozzles that come with the kit and it's still not quenching. (link)

Yes it is a lot, but this guy is running 100psi compounds and revving his 5.9 to 4000rpm.
4000rpm is pretty good for a common-rail, or VP44 ISB, but that's old hat for a 12-valve B-series. Folks commonly let the clutch out at 6500rpm with those during competitive events. :twisted:

Looking at the first picture in this thread, it looks to me like they are set up with some kind of aftermarket clutch setup, unless that is something they are just using to attach to a dyno.
The reason I'm asking is that some day I will be in need of a flywheel which is NOT made of cast iron. I'm hoping to find someone who makes either steel or aluminum flywheels.
Thanks for the tips on the clutches and pressure plates. I have seen the "Spec" units. They look like they would get the job done.

bgkast What's with the supercharger sound? It changes its whine with no change in engine RPMs in the first video.

Look at the clutch in the second picture. Its so tiny, they must be pushing past the 7000rpm+ range the drag engines have been doing. I'd love to see what transmission/transaxle they will use.
