Helicopter Turbine Powered Roadster (Not a turbo miata!)

[Poopy]

jesus. that's nuts.

Love the fab work.

This is crazyness

[godzillus]

intakes?

Those are exhaust pipes.

The way the air moves through this thing is really convoluted. Air enters through the rear, gets compressed, moves through the longitudinal tubes to the combustor, were it is introduced to fuel and burned, moves through gas producer turbines, and finally goes through the power turbine and exits out the middle of the turbine.

Well shoot.

[Oxer]

i love the idea of putting the turbine in and all but i hope to see some sort of stance on this build in the future

LOL


dont worry about the quarter mil turbine powering it, aslong as its hellaomgflushstance!

intakes?

[godzillus]

And then this happened...

[ryanjblajda]

this is mad!

[godzillus]

We are also powder coating most of the brackets, handles etc. in "almost chrome" which is very close to the wheel finish.

We built a new firewall. I wasn't keen on the aluminum one and just went with this simple cone shape in steel. This hopefully gives next year's engineers space for a transmission.



We are sending the body off for paint tomorrow if all goes well!
