 Petit
Le Mans 2003 saw the introduction of a Judd powered Lola B01/60.
The 2.0 liter AER/MG 4-cylinder turbo engine was replaced with a 3.4 liter
normally aspirated Judd V8. Both engines are similar in power and
torque characteristics with the Judd getting the nod for simplicity of
installation and maintenance and reliability of ancillaries. The
engine change required most of the mechanicals past the monocoque to be
modified with a new bellhousing and rear frame structure being some of
the more obvious differences. |

 The
Judd's engine inlet has moved from a position just over the driver's head
(between the supports for the primary roll over structure) to a position
over the driver's left shoulder. Also note the very odd inlet shape
as though the restrictor is missing a cover for the truncated form. |
 The turbo inlet for the MG/AER engine has a piggy back duct underneath the primary intake. |
 The
turbo inlet has a pair of interesting exit ducts along its trailing
edge which help extract/draw hot air away from the turbo area. |
 Here
we can see the extractor ducts are connected to tubing which is then
positioned to draw hot air away from the general area of the turbo. |
