Anymore details?

 

i think j9 owns a 787

 

wow, ok thats news to me, i always thought it just ran straight premix with no MOP..



how'd you find this out?? also was it to do with rules at le-mans that they couldn't premix?

 

i looked at the pictures. it probably did have something to do with the rules though.

 

Yea, didnt that thing also run mechanical fuel injection?

 

nope its efi

 

with an electro-mechanical variable trumpet intake!

 

which moves as fast as the engine can rev!

 

.....for a full power run in second gear



It would never be able to keep up free reving in neutral.. still very impressive none the less..



I'm still friggen trying to design a circuit to work like this.. My thoughts so far are using the cas output to drive a PWM circuit.. easy.. BUT, how the hell do you tell it to 'move back' instead of extend? I'm now considering two motors, one to extend and one to draw it back, just need two differently design PWM circuits..



hehe might go ask some of the electrical engineer lecturers some more.. they'll know..



I think its a great idea, and the mechanics of it are quite simple, just the electronics will be a **** fight.

 

i think they used fc headlight motors, really. that car is FULL of stock parts. we spotted the gsl-se radiator cap, fc rear wiper arm, the trumpet motors, the taillight is some 70's car peice.
