The
Nasamax DM139 began life as a Reynard 2KQLM LMP900, chassis #006. |
This
car first appeared at Sebring in '03 and was then powered by a ethanol
fueled Champ Car Cosworth turbo V8. |
The
entire engine installation was essentially removed from a Reynard Champ
Car and plopped into the Nasamax-Reynard chassis. |
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.
At the lower left of the above image you can see the left hand side exhaust
running into the bell housing. The pipe coming out the center 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. |
