Flycut porsche 944 piston2/26/2023 Not long after this I had a change of jobs and had to move interstate and the car was left in limbo up until 1995 when work was started again, with more money and ideas. That engine was eventually sold and a 1995 3.5L Rover V8 engine was purchased. The motor went in for a rebuild and at the same time it was decided to offset grind the crank and take the motor out to some 4.8Litres. The conversion however was unfinished and the motor was in desperate need of a set of bearings. The car was purchased in 1988 with a 4.4Litre Leyland V8 conversion and a shortened Valiant Charger LSD diff. Bear with me as there is a lot of photos and details and hopefully some of it is interesting. I'm sure I'll have plenty of my own.įor my first proper post I thought I'd start at the beginning. The majority of the work is panelling but I'm no expert so that's isn't as easy it sounds. will have large rear wing and rear diffuser. I may also try a full front windscreen and roof depending on how it goes. One for straight line speed events such as standing km, where the rear wing will be deleted, and the diffuser reduced. rear diffuser with cut outs behind rear tyres to reduce pressure cabin will be enclosed except for drivers position, this includes behind driver/passenger. the windscreen will be replaced by a small lexan one Of course this is all simulated but changing the cd does have the right effect and less power dies make such speeds unattainable. Even fiddling with a 2.5 rear it will go 200mph. It's a brick, but it has a small frontal area. Using a cd of 0.4 and the normal frontal area cartest shows it should do 190mph. It's a running a 9" with a 2.75 rear and 18" wheels and a gearbox with a 1:1 fifth. The car is running a turbo 4l rover and we saw 630hp on the dyno and masses of torque. I won't go into any details here as I do need to do a proper build page, but the car was largely finished some years ago so I have basic info. I've used some software called cartest 2000 to simulate how fast my mgb will go when finished. I have oodles of photos an details, but I'm on holiday right now so can only share the attached photos. The car was largely finished a decade ago, but money and other constraints stopped work. After owning my 1964 mgb roadster for 25 years I'm going to try and get it finished by end of next year before I turn 50.
