Well it looks like Ken Scheepers has been busy upgrading the car in the off season.. New intake and plumbing looks nice!! It would be nice if he could make it to Atco in July

that looks nice..

 

I wonder why he switched his turbo manifold, turbo location, and went with an IC?

The word on the street is that Ken WILL BE at the Pan Ams

 

Looks ready to rock....... to me

 

Car looks great. I read that he won his class in the Texas Tuner Showdown. Ken's a cool guy, it would be great to see him at Atco.

I saw his car run at Texas Tuner S.D. and it sounded really good. He is a very cool person. Good luck to him and to his crew.

 

anyone know who made the intake ? I can't read the etching on top.........

 

I think "Gato"

 

Good Eyes !

 

yep EL GATO PERFORMANCE,now i dont know about the intercooler,a lot of the fast rotary powered cars dont run a intercooler setup,let see how it works for Ken,I talked to him one time at e-town or atco(cant remeber)and he was very nice

 

If I'm not mistaken he's running a air to water intercooler. I believe that's the set-up I saw on his car in Dallas, last week. Not that it matters but almost his whole crew are boricuas. Hi to Victor, Juan and the rest of his corillo.

 

yep i know Victor and Juan,that is what i tought a air to water cooler after i looked at the picture again

 

Sporty at one time.......... ran a water/air cooler

 

yep when he first got the car out with the P-port motor(not semmi)it ran but not that good( he got a lot of power out of the setup but it didnt work for them)lets see if Ken gets better results out of the setup,Best wishes to the Ken and the crew

 

Ken has a completely different setup from the guys thats don't run a IC... Most non IC cars have a CNC throttlebody with less than 2ft of piping from the turbo to the Hat.. I guess different strokes for different folks... Maybe for Ken's porting it made sense to run a conventional plenum vs the CNC TB and because of all that piping he added a IC to help cool down the intake temps..




*uneducated guess

 

What no towel over the engine bay? Oh yeah, I forgot only PR's do that.

Car looks great Ken. Good luck.

 

^ thats why Flaco put the black sheet metal over the Intake on the Rx3 and Chato blured out the Intake manifold on the pics of his sweet FD...

When you're amost the handful of guys making 1200 hp on a 13b then you're realise how important a blanket is
Besides its not that cold in Texas for Ken to cover up the engine with a blanket

 

That's fine and I can understand why they do it but that's also one big reason why the rotary drag community is so small. It's all hush hush. We should be putting our pride aside and helping out other rotary brothers/sisters and share our know's with others to help boost this amazing engine up and kick some piston ***!

 

you mean this ones.

 

At least he covers up with style.

 

and these.

 

I would never cover my engine, I dont understand why people do that, same rotary engine, I think it comes down to engine tuning, clutch and chasie adjustment.....

 

Here is my old race car engine bay for all of you who never seen it.....

 

This is how i looked before it was like this.

 

I dont even have those pics....lol
