That is what I thought. Did he get out of miatas or something? I haven't heard anything about him in years.

Gordon took a sabbatical to focus on other things. Still has Mega AFAIK. 450whp C38-74 Rotrex with 275 Hoosiers and more aero than any other Miata on the planet. I should rent his car and bring it out of retirement.

Anxious to see what Moti can do in either of his projects once he installs some hp.

Blackbird

Not sure about this being the case..
Same here.
I need to decide which version of the few I have in mind I should go with.. Every single one of them that involves an easy button purchase feels half assed, and I'm not a fan of half assing things.

Blackbird

Didn't get a chance to post flat bottom pics with the ducting done, so here it is -

BTW, we already went ahead and put another mod on the car immediately after watching the vids from Super Lap -

Maybe that way I'll stop banging the rev limiter all the freaking time...

That undercarriage ducting is awesome! What are the ducts feeding exactly?

they are just feeding air into the center section to cool down the trans. tunnel/exhaust/diff.

Blackbird

Yep, it works very well too, 2 days of running @ BRP and the tunnel didn't even get warm...

Yes, yes you should, to the first point.

Morpheus hasn't even taken the red pill of horsepower yet, ironically...

astral

Very, very cool. Will be interesting to see the dramatic increase in cooling efficiency if/when power is added to the equation.

NASCAR v8......with turbos.

Scaxx

This is the only reasonable solution for Morpheus.

Also, cool to hear that the ducts kept the tunnel cool enough. You give me hope Moti!

Blackbird

Nah, F1 V10 is way more reasonable-er!

Pay attention to the way the heat shields were done, the specifics makes them more effective than more common setups.

But nascar v8s are actually "affordable"

I might have a solution for this problem of yours... Sending you a PM Facebook message.

Blackbird

Kidding aside, I'd love a high revving small displacement V8, but they are all oh-so expensive.

Hayabusa v8?

Blackbird

Sure, when was the last time you looked at the pricing of a Hartley V8 (based on Hayabusa)?
IIRC the prices are ~$35-40K, depending on displacement / HP.

Synergy V8 FTW

Yours for the "low, low price of $43K" (Starting price)

Scaxx

Destroked ls3, 4.8l crank, stock bore and run it to 8000. I'd do it, but no money, and especially no money for a dry sump set up to properly deal with the extra revs on track. Sigh, one day.

On second thought it's not that small of displacement, but whatever, still bad ***.
