Stupid SOB scamed me and now i guess i can have a project. Back to the FC. I guess I will try to turbo the car. But might have a little troble finding the parts I need. What I am trying to do is build a drift car. The starion was cool and all but has to go and the 86 deal might fall though so basically what I want to know is what kind of setup would I have to run in the drift circuit.

Here is what I was thinking:
1988 GTU
S5 turbo motor and drivetrain swap
street port
bridge port
1600cc injectors
big turbo
Some kind of standalone ECU either a haltec or a Wolf3d
9lbs Flywheel
centerforce clutch
Of course a good flowing exhaust
But I do not know if this setup is suitable for drifting. Any help would be appreciated

 

You're missing the most important thing, SUSPENSION! (Unless that's dealt with already)

 

well Before I thought i sold it I put all new suspension components under it. They were all stock but i iked the feel. Besides it appears to me that american drifting is about 3 things. 1.How a japanese car will never win 2.Excessive amounts of power lets you be a pro 3. one word side brake. LOL but yes suspension will be adressed do you have any sujestions.

 

It's all about skill.

 

big turbo no, fast spooling decent sized turbo ok, suspension is a must if youre going to compete, stand alone fine , but suspenion.... gah i dont care what you say no stock suspension

 

initial d stickers...

 

you relize that in the drift comps held in the USA, that a lot of the judges are japanese.

 

in case you didn't bother to read the thread entitled "drifters"

yeah i know that most of the judges are japanese but a single japanese car has not won a single event. Kinda funny right. But neways I know suspension is important but wo should i go with. I like my suspension to be a little loose its just the way i like it. but back to the point a turbo that spools well is a good idea. but what is a good brand. Also for the suspension I have been looking into a tein brand nebody have ne experince with this system
