John, hopefully you are asking about test firing the car and not the fire system... I hope to never find out if the fire system is effective, but it should be based on volume of agent vs volume of space .
I need the ECU wiring which is in work at Engine Management Systems to fire up the motor... I hope to have the car on the dyno by mid July. Yep, still plenty to do... got to smear some color on the white paint at some point.
Fire system... About 15.5 lbs of Halon... in the first pic the 10 lb on the left has one single nozzle in the drivers area and 2 multi hole nozzles in the motor compartment. This is the first bottle to be used. That silver cap on the bottle is the driver nozzle, the hose goes to hard line, through the firewall.
On the right is the 5 lb drivers bottle with one nozzle. You can see we welded up the top (and you can't see the bottom) nozzle. That was recommended by Jim Diest based on volume of the car. That bottle would be used if there was still fire to ensure the driver was protected the longest time.
The second picture is the engine compartment. In the background on the firewall is one on the multi hole nozzles, the other is attached to the bracket on the motor in the foreground. The theory is the one on the firewall will fog the entire compartment, the other one is in the header and oil pan area, but will also fog the entire area.
I also placed 2 fire doors on the right side of the engine, one front and one back as well as 1 door on the left side near the mid to back of the motor.
