Tom and John
Thank you both for the info...sorry if I caused a stir. This is a little out of my expertise also, I have made some special parts for this customer. mostly centered around hydraulic mountings for steering and brackets and the like, all stainless of course. I was offered a ride, but I think I'll pass..160 + mph on water is not my thing, but if I get some photos of this stuff I might post it just for any interested parties, thats as close as I will get to a ride. According to my customer these motors were built by Mc Laren, and from the description he gave it sounds like a plumbers nightmare with the intercoolers and turbos being water cooled, fuel, management system wiring and whatever else...of course all this times two engines. The latest thing was to machine the new turbo housings (exhaust side) to mate up with the existing exhaust, of course to get more boost!...the whole affair seems to be custom built so for me its some nice work.
I will post some photos if I can get them.
Cheers
Phil
