Rafael 'Falito' Rivera....
 

For those who doesn't know the guy, he was the first rotary builder\driver to break the 7 seconds barrier a couple of years ago with his unusual setup:

Turbo + Weeber + NOS

With a best time of 7.6X

After some changes (EFI), he managed a 7.49@184mph Last night in Salinas, PR!

That is all the info I have (for now), but I am sure Crispeed and other might have better info on the subject :)

A turbo webber ? How does that work ? If it is already turbo how can it be a carby ?

please enlighten.

That's why he is a master at what he does ;)

aahaha... is there a website/link or pics i can see of his engine ?

Yep!
Falo has done it again. 7.48@184mph without nitrous and running on alcohol!. The 184mph shows some serious power out of that 13b.
His new setup is fuel injected. Knowing Falo that time is sure to drop in the near future.

i thought it was methanol ? anyway still a very good time. its good when i goto the shop judge ito tells me about this stuff. i don't even have to check the forums haha

only in Puerto Rico!!!

!Carajo! Ese tipo iba disparado por un canon

What the diffrence with running methanol or alcohol ?

what are the advantages for either fuels?

Blow through carb. We build alot of blow through carb turbo setups at Bi-State Customs. One of our most popular blow through carb setups is the Twin Turbo Lamborghini we did. We'll most likely do a similar setup on the Ferrari 348.
