SCHEDULE TL BNT V8s CLASS TWO TECHNICAL REGULATIONS

Transcription

1 PREAMBLE SCHEDULE TL BNT V8s CLASS TWO TECHNICAL REGULATIONS The BNT V8s Championship is MotorSport New Zealand s Premier Championship category. Introduced in 1995 this Holden versus Ford V8 race series was granted Championship status in the 1996/97 season slowly evolving as the production variants of both Marques have changed season by season. From the outset the philosophy was to create a tightly controlled technical specification that would provide for close and competitive racing combined with an arena for developing driver and race team skills. On an annual basis MotorSport New Zealand together with the Class Technical Committee study these regulations and discuss proposals submitted by the race teams in order to maintain parity, up-spec safety requirements and to ensure that the future and viability of BNT V8 Car racing is assured, whilst overall maintaining the running costs within the bounds of the category philosophy. The 2013 season saw the introduction of the New Generation NZV8 Car, which will lead the MotorSport New Zealand Premier Championship Race Series into future seasons of competitive and exciting racing. The technical regulations for the New Generation BNT V8s are published under their own schedule being Schedule TC1.

Then seal the flat plate to the head gasket face of the cylinder, with the same grease. Fill the piston cavity from the burette to establish volume. An allowance of 1cc (=1000 cubic mm), for volume above top ring is to be added to the calculation of piston volume. Cylinder Head gasket volume calculated from the compressed thickness. B x B x x gasket thickness 4 = volume Where B = The internal diameter of the fire ring of the head gasket in mm.

Stroke Using a dial indicator on top of the piston, bring the piston to TDC and then measure the deck height using a depth micrometer or vernier. Using a dial indicator or vernier, take the piston to BDC and measure the piston to deck height. Calculate the stroke dimension using the difference between the deck height at TDC and the deck height at BDC Bore Measure the diameter of the bore well down in the cylinder to avoid any piston ring wear or ridge. Calculations: SV + CV = Total Volume (TV), then TV CV = Compression Ratio Where SV = Bore x Bore x π x Stroke 4 and CV = Head Gasket Volume + Piston Volume + Cylinder Head Volume The grout is to help eliminate cylinder bore cracking. 4.

94 FORD MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS FRONT Remove the original radiator support panel, the bonnet and the front guards. The BA front outer guards will bolt straight on to the existing rear mounting holes when aligned with the door shut line. This will now identify the new position of the radiator support panel. The original inner guards will need to be trimmed back using the temp plate supplied, as the new radiator support panel sits slightly further back. The front mudguard bolt holes should now line up. The radiator support panel can now be either welded or bolted into position onto the chassis rail and inner guards. The guard raising fillets can now be welded onto the top of the inner guards in so doing filling the gap created by the higher positioning of the new outer guards. Two riv nuts have to be installed into existing mudguard holes. The original bonnet hinges must be repositioned inwards to accommodate the new BA model bonnet. This is achieved either by fitting 8 mm riv nuts, or welding in a plate with threaded holes. To find the correct position bolt hinges to new bonnet and align to achieve guard shut line. Mark new hinge position holes. If the wiper mechanism is in its original position it will need to be raised up as the holes will be right on the fold. Remove the original roof panel outer skin by unstitching the spot welds. The earlier model AU will have a double skin above the rear windscreen, which will also need to be removed. The metalwork above the front roof pillars will need to be cut slightly and reshaped for clearance. Position the new roof skin in place. The rear of the roof panel should be lined up on the cross brace as the front is slightly different. REAR Remove the original rear quarter panels (rear guards) and cut as follows: Cut original (AU) guard off at 140mm measured from the back corner of the rear wheel arch and centre of swage line. Cut the new (BA) guard at 100mm measured from the rear of the wheel arch and 40mm downwards of the swage line. This will provide for an overlap, which can then be cut through the centre of both layers providing for a perfect line for a butt weld joint. Alternatively: Fit a BA ¼ panel with the following modifications; Using the template cut out the sheet metal not required and fold the lip inwards and bend into the original lip. Make a small filler piece to adapt the folded edge to the original AU inner wheel arch and seal. Template available from Championship Coordinator. The original parcel try is fabricated in two pieces. Remove (unstitch) only the rear section. The new rear parcel shelf will fit in and line up with the existing oval and round holes. Once the shelf is in position it will give a guideline for the position of the water channels that run along the top length of the rear guards. Some additional reshaping is required at the joint of the channels and the parcel shelf. The boot lid comes complete with the new (BA) hinges. The additional part (Part D) needs to be centred and butt welded to the top of the original boot rubber lower mounting lip (just behind the striker plate and between the rear tail light panels). The inner rear taillight closing panels may need to be slightly modified to fit as the manufacturer in this area provides different fitments. A lip needs to be welded on the bottom and then trimmed to fit the crash panel and a filler patch fabricated to match Part D. When the new rear quarter panels are installed, the Part Cs are provided to attach the rear quarters to the existing floor. These parts should initially be tacked in place in order to ensure that all lines up correctly with the rear quarter panels. To fit these parts on the left and right side of the boot floor, where they start to curve outwards mark a line and cut them straight. Then weld a 15mm lip on the RH side and the same on the LH side, and due to the hump in the boot floor a larger patch will need to be fabricated. 15mm can be measured on the front and rear of the fabricated patch Schedule TL Page 94 of 116
