 The
Nasamax DM139 began life as a Reynard 2KQLM LMP900, chassis #006.
Chassis and bodywork-wise it was an up-to-date box-stock 2KQLM. |
 This
car first appeared at Sebring in '03 and was then powered by an ethanol
fueled Cosworth Champ Car, turbo, 2.65L, V8. |
 The
entire engine installation was essentially removed from a Reynard Champ
Car and plopped into the Nasamax-Reynard chassis. Any of you
familiar with the Champ car installation will immediately recognize the
exhaust header bags |
 The
turbo is fed via the exhaust headers on the left and right hand sides of
the engine, the single turbo actually resides within
the bellhousing. The left and right hand exhaust banks meet to a
common join in the center of the bellhousing to spin the turbo.
In this image, the pipe coming out the center of
the side of the bellhousing is the exhaust proper. The pipe
leading out of the
top of the bellhousing comes off the turbo and feeds into the plenum on
top of the engine. |
