Getting ready for Bonneville(rebuild)

[jl222]

Just a small list of things we need to do before we run next year.
1.  Take out tranny and install near overdrive gearing.
2.  Take out block and balance the internals again.
3.  New zoomies
4.  EGT/data logger?
5.  Rebuild heads(in progress)
6.  A piston or two
7.  Fix crack in water tank
8.  Put it back together
9.  More dyno time

if I forgot something JL222 will add to the list

  Water injection into front of Pro-charger

We have forgotten about the new rule, we need another head restraint system.  Does this mean we can remove the new 2 inch side to side padding we just installed?

We got one of these in the mail a little while back.

  Just reading by Christmas present ( The High Speed Internal Combustion Engine by Sir Harry Ricardo) and convinced now more than ever to go back to water injection. His research suggest injecting water into the impeller which gives the additional benefit of cooling the blower plus the air but also the benefit of steam as an anti-knock. Both water+methanol and steam were tested independently to assess separately its too functions.

  How about beer, and make the motor happy at the same time?

Where will the water tank go?  Possibly above the lower blower tube?

It's nice to see the wheels turning again for the Langlo's.

I'll be watching with interest.

Just be quiet & drive.....

  The intercooler water would be good but they want a sealed tank

I was just wondering if you are having a problem with detonation or a motor durability issue, or if its just the racers addiction of always wanting more power ?

I don't know all the ins and outs of your car and team of course but if it's not a detonation problem it appears to me that you will go alot faster than you have with the power you have once you sort through the few bugs that have stopped the car from ripping off a really stupendous number.
I'm not trying to sound like a know it all because I deff. am not. I'm just trying to be the voice of reason, I have a couple of good friends that always have to kick me back on the right track as I tend to get carried away with making more power and it must be worse in your case with the power production being the Sky's the limit.

 I hope that rambling made a little sense and that you get my drift.
Basically it just looks to me like you guys are gonna break some records with extreme prejudice with the current the current set up.

P.S.- I  your car is one of my favorites.
