Yeah at least I care
Ari Yallon is one of the baddest and craziest rotary specialists out there, that sucks that he hasn't updated his website as far as his mods and future plans for the car.
I miss watching him race here in So-Cal.

DSMonster

this past nopi evebt he went 9.1 i think and 9.5 thats pretty quick so i was wonder if he has a new set up

Dan Schechter

Rotary is updating thier website with a newer racing section coming soon. It is being built from an inhouse website specialist at the moment (the same guy who redesigned their website). It will have newer updates on Aris car, my car and Ken's modified Rx-8. Keep an eye out for it soon!

Dan Schechter

No new setup. Just able to make more power. He is holding back on running full out too often because he is mytseriously cracking output shafts (not really sure the exact details about it), so he is being more conservative until the problem is solved. Breaking output shafts adds up after a while.

RTS3GEN

glad to see I'm not the only one breaking output shafts!!!!!! Go ARI!

3 output shafts and counting

Dan Schechter

nice!!

Dan Schechter

Nice!!!

DSMonster

how much power is he making i heard some where around 550-600

c00lduke

A little higher then that from what i remember.

Dan Schechter

More than that but its not my place to say. I don't know if he wants people to know or not, BUT... I can tell you that its definitely more than 550-600.

mmonaco

Hes in the 700 with high 8s at his home track. Hes coming for the supra guys

i've got a turbo mag from '00 I belive that says he was making roughly 550whp, all turbo, and 650whp on the bottle.

Dan Schechter

Hint: Never believe what the magazines tell you, it's not allways true.

fdracer

back then it probably was true. i'm sure he picked up a few hp in the past 5 years.

Dan Schechter

A few.

Mark'sMazda

that's why i made sure to include the year of the mag, and the word roughly.

Can Ari use a 20b in the street tire class?

kabooski

Nopi has 2 street divisions

the Pro street tire
and Turbo 6

Ari is doing very good
in Turbo 6 where rules are more fair
no aftermarket Trannys(like chevy automatics)

In the other street class
Its all supras (boring) few cars

Turbo 6 is the Hot Ticket
plenty on cars of diffrent makes and models
theres a jetta VR6 running 10.0

I hope to have my car running in Turbo 6
for the Tampa Nopi race even tho I'll get my *** kicked
it still would be fun to be in the Mix

Dan Schechter

No. Regulations won't allow it. But even if they did, I don't think Ari would do it, because it takes a lot more time and money, and Chris and Ari don't want to send out the message that "you need a three rotor to beat a Supra". Even though it would be fun .

Sorry have you been keeping up with the times that those six cylinders are doing? You do need a 20B to beat those sixes I hate to admit it but a 20B isn't even beating those sixes. http://ndra.nopi.com/eqraces/dsp_ere...0Street%20Tire hell look at the difference in times and in trap speed it's huge.

Dan Schechter

Yeah, I've seen the times that the supras are putting down. Matter of fact I've got my butt kicked by some of them and beat some of them. The only reason that the Supras are dominating the class is because the rules aren't even towards rotaries as compared to the higher horspower 6 cyl. Chris and Ari fought with the sancioning bodies years ago, but got no cooperation, and didn't want to send the message of needing a 20B to beat a six as a general rule to the public even though it may be necesary to beat those few extremely high horsepower cars. Most of the public wouldn't look at it that way. The only reason the trap speeds are so different (other than the difference in times) is because the way the cars launch. The Supra is not nearly as fast off the line, but makes up for it in top end, hence the higher mph. And the Rx7 is quicker off the line, but slower in top speed towards the traps which results in lower mph.
Ex: My car is running a 10.17@ 135mph. If it was a supra with the same time, the trap speed would be more near 150mph.

the rules are more than fair in sport rwd, we get a 900lb. weight break, what more do you want. regardless it's a sportsman class anyway, so the cars will have to stay close to their oem weight give or take a couple hundred pounds. the nhra has been more than fair to the non 6cyl cars by outlawing the gm transmissions that most of the sport rwd supras ran, effectively banning all but a couple of the supras. ari wouldn't even bother to come out this year had the nhra not banned all the quick supras.

Dan Schechter

First of all, Sport RWD is not the class I was referring to in the last thread. Before jumping down my throat, if you look the link that was given to me in the previous thread was the BFG Pro Street tire class, which is the class being that's mostly dominated by supras. Not to say a 2 rotor can't keep up with the competition. I thought about building a faster car to run in that class, but decided not to because of the expenses involved. I never said the rules weren't fair, and I not saying that it isn't possible. It's just that the expenses involved in building or running a 13B car to be competative with that much power is not so simple and cost effective to maintain and compete. But the last sentence you stated is absolutely true, thats the way that Ari works, if it costs the shop too much money to race with no reimbursement, theres not much of a logical reason to compete other than the fun of it.

asianstirfry

We go to the NOPI races with Ari and he is running low 9's consistently. He is actually making LESS power than before in the 600 range but going faster. He ran a 9.1 a few weeks back in Phoenix or Maryland....
