Warlock Camaro

[pgfpro]

Got some much-needed time this weekend on the Camaro. 1st pic is race ride height. 2nd pic is for FE and daily driving. Trying to get the Cd around 0.210 Going add some of the "HRM SPL Camaro" ideas to this project.

Did a new YouTube video intro on my 71Camaro with my Pre-Chamber and lean burn. On the next video I'll talk about ecomodder and drop a link here. I also did some new testing where my V3 version doesn't use the spark from the plug at high boost to start combustion.

The self-contained turbo oil system might be quite interesting for long-term reliability.

I agree 100%

My thoughts are because the engine will be at 70psi and the first stage turbo will be seeing this extreme high pressure and the way all turbos are designed is to bleed of a small amount of pressure to the center cartridge between the two bearings. This in turn does add pressure to the crankcase pressure and with the high amount of boost I will be adding will even make it worse. High crankcase pressure can unseat the piston rings, kill engine efficiency and blow gaskets out.

The other part is turbos add heat to the oil in the engine due to the heat they create. Since I have two it will make this even more of a problem.

My design has a pump, oil tank and a cooler. It will also be vented.

The air provided for cooler for the turbo self-contain oil system will come from passenger side turn indicator that will no longer be used. My head lights will be upgraded to a halogen type that has the turn indicator inside of the headlights. I will need some advice from the aero folks here where to exhaust the warm air from the turbo cooler and transmission cooler?

I wasn't even considering crankcase pressure, but it makes a lot of sense. The issues I had in mind were cooling of the turbos and preventing oil starvation to the center shaft of the turbocharged when the engine is turned off.

Interesting. This setup could be useful even if someone tries to turbocharge a 2-stroke engine. That would be quite tempting... On a sidenote, some Biagio turbochargers now feature their own oil sump, even though they don't have a separate oiling system at all.

It will also be vented.

Where will the vents be directed to? Intake just like a regular PCV or directly to the atmosphere?

I agree the oil cooling and oil starvation are the two killers of turbos.

On a two stroke it would be a great setup for sure.

It will be vented to atmosphere. The oil tank for the turbos will have a vent on top with a valve cover filter. The oil tank will be located just behind the two turbos in front of the fire wall.

Due to the temperature, what about an oil fumes catch can as a safety measure to prevent fire?

You bring up a very good point. I think I have an extra oil catch can that I'll put to good use.

This is the FE ride height. The top of roof is 47" from the ground. lol

Starting on the cage now and installing the floor.

That engine looks quite big, even though the Camaro was originally meant to fit larger engines.
