You can see from this pic the extended size of the inter cooler housing and the below this it extends to the end of box hence it sits a way behind rear wheels
Hence the rear clam is longer than ours

That's not the transverse layout in discussion.
You need to have a look at the OP's picture which has been shoehorned into a standard un-modified chassis.

also worth mentioning this picture is a modified noble done in the UK, its not a Rossion... or the car/package the OP is discussing.

The Rossion runs a traverse ford V6 and the ford gearbox the same as the Noble hence the engine bay remained identical.... if the car Skip was talking about had an inline engine and box and thus a stretched chassis then it wasn't a stock Rossion.

Interesting. How are you using the solidworks simulations in this case? I have'nt done any fluid flow simulations but would be very interested to see how accurate and essential this has been in your development.

The simulation is only as acurate as the flow model you setup. We have found that it is fairly accurate.

Following with extreme interest, i love a v8 m12.

I can make sure that happens

Thanks for the reply.

I agree I have done a bit of FEA and results can vary wildly based on the accuracy of input vales.

What parameters are you running a simulation against? What are you aiming to find out?

I would also be interested to know the workflow on this. You model the potential scenario, run the sim using parameters you can physically measure later, fine tune, record a datum result then manufacture from here and re-check against the sim?

gafernandez were are you mounting the muffler? Looks like it's going in the gearbox area of the car rather the towards the rear. Is that correct? What the reasoning for this?

[gafernandez]

They go in the back corners in the diffuser area. There is a large expansion chamber before the mufflers.

looking good where are you going to put the power steering pump, not much room there especially with the exhaust manifold and heat issues, have you thought about an electric pump? a Citroen pump from their electro hydraulic system might fit.

There was a company at the recent NEC Classic Car Show which supplied electric steering systems that bolted directly to the steering column under the dash. A bit pricey though.

Great ideas, I did a lot of research on the electric power steering pump and found it is very loud if it is not controlled by the ECU.

The electric water pump is an option but not very reliable from my research.

The water pump and power steering pump reside in there original location so i did not have to design brackets to attach them. Once all the brackets are finished i will show the actual assyembly

An alternative engine is the same one fitted to the Ginetta G60

they used to run the 3.0 v6 and upgraded to the 3.5 and 3.7

use the same box and atb we use

Rob, been there done that on mine, cost about £350.00

Blimey! The guy was asking a few £thou - they were bespoke though.

I have been quite because there is a lot going on but it does not look li much here is a few pic's. Motor is on the motor mounts and ready to start in two weeks, waiting on parts to arrive. ECU upgrades 1) throttle by wire 2) E85 sensor 3) speed sensor 4) A/C controlled by ECU 5) Fans controlled by ECU 6) alternator controlled by ECU. What this all means is that engine will not stumble when they all come on at one time

Another good blog to follow!

This is one that may interest some of you too, just for how it's going to sound!
