Project race truck

[Mika]

Begins now.
Fiber body is home. Next have to find or build tube frame for it.

Goal is to keep it under 3000 lbs, and few seconds faster than my crew cab.

Mika i wish you were on this side of the pond so i would have a better chance to see some of your creations in person.

whats in the works for the motor?

I am not sure yet if I will make new engine for this or install Punisher´s engine in it. Calculators shows it should go 7´s with crew cabs engine.
But if I want to competite with it, it would be wise to have spare engine, so probably my recent engine goes to race truck, and I will build similar engine with milder cam and sticks to Punisher. I believe mid 10 second engine would be good enough to tow race truck in track :frog:

To race truck I have to build different turbos, because compounds are not allowed. I will use much more nitrous with parallel twins. Turbos will probably be HX60 or so. I like Holsets
I try to get race truck as smokeless as possible, because our national organization is willing to do some rule changes to allow me to drive in some class with gas/alcy, but they are worried of smoke.

Very cool.

I believe a 10 sec tow rig should be sufficient.

I put parts in scale, weight in kilos:

Front part(hood, fenders) 14 kg
door, each 6 kg
front bumper 3 kg
bed, side plate, each 7 kg
bed rear plate 3 kg
cab 20 kg

So all total is approx 66 kilos.
Have to say GTS Fiberglass work is awesome :thumb:
