home made funny car

yeah, last vid doesn't work for me either. I imagine it'll take more than a few trial runs before we see this thing all out. I'd be afraid to run it at top speed at that location though.. those spaces in the concrete look BIG.

The 4th vid doesn't work. Are you running jet fuel,kerosene or something else? Just curious what that little turbine runs on.[/q the turbine runs on kerosine plus jet1 oil i dont know why the 4 video doesn't work but when you go to you tube it works there

if you go to you tube it will work and yes lessen to do my speed testing I've got permission to run on a real drag strip for the big cars so no problem just a lot of testing

 

[Lessen]

That's cool, cuz I'd be afraid those wide spaces in that concrete would destroy the car in no time.

 

[kenazzo2000]

lessen youve got a point there mate you're wright i could destroy it there

 

[Rolex]

Very impressive, seeing it start to roll out. I'm really looking forward to some high speed runs. Just don't rush it. Your down forces and aerodynamics will be critical.

 

[Lessen]

forces and aerodynamics will be critical.

Nevermind this guy. The only thing Rolex knows about forces and aerodynamics is that an airplane cannot take off from a treadmill... or so he thought..

 

[kenazzo2000]

ok lessen i like to ask and learn and when i can help as well thankyou

LMAO! Will I NEVER live that one down?

 

[kenazzo2000]

forums are nice you learn a lot of things

nope.

That thing is just way too cool! Can't wait to see it on the track.

 

[kenazzo2000]

thanks mate it should be soon first we have to fix some things here and there and then we will crank her up lol

Glad to see you are taking your time with the testing. Nice piece of engineering!

 

[kenazzo2000]

i try my best its my first car that i built hope to build more in future

 

[kenazzo2000]

hi i think I've found one of the problems i had a bad servo cable extension when i was pulling the brakes or turning the steering the ecu wasent getting enough current from the battrey so now i think I've got that part right hmm if its not raining tommorow ill go and give her another test

 

[kenazzo2000]

today i took the turbine off so that tommorrow ill take it to my friends house to open the engine and change what ever is needed heres the pictures i took

 

[kenazzo2000]

today my friend took the engine apart seem s nothings wrong now I'm buying some small parts for him to change hope we get it running soon

 

[Rolex]

Beautiful. Impellers and vanes, just like the real thing.

 

[kenazzo2000]

yes mate just like the real thing not alot of parts in a turbine

 

[Racer 1966]

Cool, can't tell alot from that view on the turbine, but the compressor looks like it's straight out of Garret T-3 series turbocharger.
