You have a shot of your passenger side front? Looks like those radiator hoses would make it pretty hard to ride shotgun with you :p

Man thats pretty cool though. May take a little to warm her up but I like the idea of having over 3times as much coolant in the car.

Any way you could have ran the hoses underneath the car using large fasteners?
- first issue we ran into was clearing the gas tank, axles, diff, and most importantly the hot exhaust. - second issue was the size of the lines... being 1.7" in diameter + adding the thickness of clamps, having 2" hanging from the bottom of the car is very risky in drifting when you can bottom out and possibly damage the lines. -we looked at other professionally build drift cars such as Daigo Saito and Frederic Asbo (2Js with rear mounted setups), and both run same type of line through the car the exact way we did (we copied them :p)

I'm one month away from going to get it dyno tuned at Defined Autoworks and I'm super excited to see how much I was able to shift my torque curve from last year :nod:
- Reduced IC piping volume by about 50% - Significantly reduced exhaust back pressure by removing the restrictive muffler - Installed an HKS EVC VI boost controller (didn't run an EBC last year) Attachment 679790 |
Here is a silly video of my reving it with the new exhaust, 3 weeks away from dyno tuning with Defined Autoworks and first practice session :nod:
|
Any chance we will be seeing this at the Drift Cleveland Season Opener on the 21st?
|
The sound of that thing... GLORIOUS.

Love the build man! You may wanna cut the rear end out, and tilt the radiator, so it gets sufficient air.

Awesome.

Dyno tuning with Defined Autoworks tomorrow morning... keep fingers crossed, and will post updates with dyno chart and video this weekend! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous. :blush:
|
Awesome build, and good luck tomorrow!
Do you have more pics of the bar that replaced the heavy plastic bumper? |
Have you been driving it lightly? I've been driving mine around the block to try and help cut down on stuff that isn't secure or leaking before I hit the dyno. Save some$$$. So far i've fixed the turbo Oil drain twice, a turbo water feed line, my DP v-band wasn't tight enough, Motor mount was un-equally tightened, UIM wasn't evently tightened either....had a vac leak on the rear most fastener holding it to the lim. Radiator Fan wires weren't fixed so they were swinging around waiting to fail haha. I Think your car is rad...and Love the Rear mount Radiator. I'm sure the added coolant volume alone will help keep that beast cool. Looking forward to see progress!!

I've started the car every two weeks since we finished the new radiator setup... always let it fully warm up then rev it fully a few times to make sure everything is in order. I also just did a 30+ second burnout to heat cycle one of my rear sets, and everything seemed fine. We've checked for any leaks and made sure the wiring is in good order, etc. All I can do now is hope everything will hold up and there won't be any heating issues on the dyno. We also need to setup the new boost controller, so hopefully it will hold boost well. |
^Sweet!
My car isn't registered as a road car either...I non-Op'd it about 6 months ago. I do however have Insurance on it. But There are no headlights, or front bumper, and only my rear plate is visible. 4" straight pipes don't really help much either. hoping today I can get to the Gas station and back =-) |
Wow! very nice car u got there :)

Here is a photo of it on the dyno from last weekend. Sadly the dynopack were we tuned last year canceled our appointment the night before, so we were forced to do it on this dynojet... making comparing number almost useless. Attachment 673397 |
bummer but how'd it do?!!

442hp, 406tq @14psi :blush: Attachment 673341 I'll have a little video of the last pull in the near future. |
Still very impressive numbers! And good choice going with Achilles, only hear good stuff about them.. Keep it up!!
|
Very nice build man!!
|
Bro, why was I only looking at your car on the trailer and not sliding around Saturday? I was really wanting to see that thing dominate the event :( But at least we had an FC victory, even if it was non rotary :P

It was a very painful decision, but I had to stop and park the car for the entire event. I already pulled the diff out yesterday, and we decided we need to replace the entire unit as so much metal was inside. I think we will be taking a part an s4 clutch type turbo diff and welding that... only properly this time (can't afford a new 2 way LSD right now)! |
What a bummer.
