    moving the fans back from the rad to pull air from both the oil cooler and the rad/intercooler space at the same time is going to cause the fans to pull air from the path of least resistance, and whichever heat exchanger has a higher resistance to airflow isn't going to get much airflow at all.
    your going to want to test those areas with an airflow meter and watch your temps under load to ensure it works 100% for ya.

    • @joeykeegan6909
      @joeykeegan6909 21 день назад +3

      Great point, wouldn’t even have ri thought about that. He did mention the radiator is extremely dense and can cool very well so I have a feeling it would not pull much air through that as opposed to the oil coolers.

    • @RedBatRacing
      @RedBatRacing 20 дней назад

      When at speed the fan does nothing, it's the frontal area the determines where the air goes. Fans can even reduce flow. In race cars they often don't have any but rely on blowers when they come into the pits. But for a car like this they will need a fan just for any standing time.

    • @damonkaufman
      @damonkaufman 20 дней назад +1

      @@RedBatRacing true, but pikes peak does have tecnical turns that require slowing down, and as you climb the mountain air density drops, and so does your cooling efficiancy.
      Pushing 1000whp at a high altitude puts a lot of strain on the cooling system.

    • @RedBatRacing
      @RedBatRacing 20 дней назад +2

      @@damonkaufman it would be interesting to do the maths or more importantly a practical test with this car to see at what speed the air flow exceeds the fans. Anecdotally around 35mph is considered a cross over. You would only be doing under that for a few seconds at tight corners then well exceeding it. As for altitude, the fan will be pumping the same thin air so I expect the maths to be similar. It's having a radiator that's spec'd for the highest altitude that matters. I don't have a shroud for my fan so air can flow around it when on the track. But I've never run at high altitude, so wouldn't know what other pitfalls would be.

    • @scotty305
      @scotty305 20 дней назад +1

      ​@@RedBatRacing Anecdotally, I can see the coolant temperature get colder when I turn the Air Conditioner on (which activates the radiator fan) when cruising at 75mph in my FD RX7. If it were me, I might try for slightly smaller coolers, a very well-ducted puller fan for each, and a good path behind the fan that avoids the weird airflow effects of the tires.

    Rob, I love what you’re doing with the rotary scene, you’re the bomb! Just wanted to knowledge share some stuff:
    Steel/Steel alloys have strength under tension, and are weak under compression. When a sideways force is applied to a pipe, one side of the pipe is under tension, the other side is under compression. Typically the side under compression fails first and the pipe will bend (instead of tear)

    Rob, if you don’t have space for headlight buckets, use just covers to plug openings and just push top part in, a little bit. So it creates narrow slit for led strip up, not down and it won’t interfere with ducting. I think no one has that. Semi closed is cool looking, but this might be more aero friendly and also iconic looking

    Rob, it would be sick if someday you somehow made the suspension on the FD like an Indy car has. Like how the one kid and his dad built that Trans Am Indy car with Vibrant. It wouldn’t just have good suspension for high speed but slow corners as well. Which is exactly what you need for Pikes Peak. PLEASSSEEE for the love of god, at the very least, spray the entire chassis with Steel-It. After you’ve done this years Pikes and you have proof of concept, would you ever consider putting this car on a chassis table to do even more crazy fab work.
