does anyone have any new pics of the jotech race car from after they switched from the pwr barrel intercooler to the PTE intecooler.

thanks

dave

 

I have pics of the car at nhra atco, there is still a barrel type intercooler on it though.

 

Anyone know info on garys new suspension?

 

1) http://www.full-race.com/jotech/newjotech

2) yes, his new suspension works well, and there is no UCA

 

do you know who built it.....

 

Got damn thats sick to Tony1 and team jotech.Also is that battery big or is it just me?

 

nice work on the manifold. also, tony does some awesome aluminum welding.

Its just really big. Sure its more weight, but notice how its in front of the tires? Better weight transfer oWnZ

 

That's how big the 16v batteries are. It weighs 43lbs, but you get to remove the alternator and brackets. We mainly have it because the fuel pump puts out alot more fuel at 16v than at 12v. You wouldn't believe how much fuel it takes to make alot of power on methanol. Anyone notice how big the line into the pump is?

 

it's also a 16v battery

IM gonna guess -14?

 

what kind of suspension is on the car?

 

hey tony, i just noticed that you may want to try adding some helium to the argon, you get less of the white stuff. why dont you go to a mechanical pump?

 

We're already setup for the weldon and it's working for now. How do you mix helium with the argon? I heard there was a new tungsten (purple in think) that results in less white stuff on aluminum, have you heard of it? I've messed with the balance on the welder and it doesn't seem to change the white stuff (what's that called anyway?). I was wondering how to minimize it.

 

a 75/25 argon helium mix is the way to do it. The purple stuff is cool, but not necessary.

the white stuff is just oxidation/corrosion

Gosh damn thats a huge bitch.

 

hey Tony, why did you guys switch from the PWR barrel style cooler?
Also how many gallons is that water tank, it looks huge! And is that a 46mm waistgate and 50mm BOV, that too looks HUGE!!
Nice setup and I like how all the weight is setup.
Nice manifold Geoff!

 

PWR = Pressure Drop

That new Prescison setup is too tight, and I love how the weight is all in front of the axle-line...mad traction, y0.

i dont think it was pressure drop so much, but the fact that the intercooler was too short and wouldnt cool the intake charge enough. i think tony even mentioned something about the old spearco having better cooling than the new pwr they had on there for awhile. i dunno.


btw...the car is beatiful

edit- thanks for the link geoff. your pics are nice. got a laugh while looking too. "this manifold rules"

It was pressure drop and cooling. But more so the cooling because I think the pressure drop was something else wrong?

 

It was a combination of both, but mainly cooling abilities. Our air temps are about 40 degrees cooler now than they were with the pwr.

 

that thing must do 1's!

 

niiiice...
