i think hes trying to make a BBQ or something. That motor is made to be cooled at 300 some mph not hidden behind a cab at 70.

As far as fueling, the guy is probably better off leaving the intake open and running hydrogen on it.

I thought the video at the bottom of the same page was cool. A Rover with a v12 Rolls-Royce tank engine with 1650 HP and 1550 TQ. 150MPH at less than 2K RPM

Sorry for thread jack.

Well i did read few pages,, they all seem to say use a fan or two... a 12" fan just isnt the same as 300mph "fan". The engine was designed to be blasted with 300 mph winds so the fins are tiny.

It should run for a bit but it will be a tough ride lol.

water injection should help. the car will have cylinder head temp probes.

also since the original application had manual pilot controlled fuel and spark (I think?) the megasquirt should help.
