Am I misunderstanding this? Your running four bar boost or is that fuel pressure?

since 4 bar = 58.02 psi
4 bar fuel pressure When i do my full build its going to be crazy . Im just wanting 350+ whp right now lol i underestimate so when i get on the dyno i wont be disappointed.

Seeing the under tray work I was reminded of Sasha's old S14. Saw the motions thread on ziptied, things look awesome.

Love the fab work on the car. Also fond of your manifolds after seeing one on a friend's MR2. Best looking collector I've EVER seen. The engineering work you guys do on your manifolds is also top notch.

But where are your brake ducts hiding?

so we managed to snag 2nd place in AWD!! this is one of the most grueling events that can be run and unfortunately the auto-x at 690whp blew out the stock GTR rear diff. It is a clutch type diff, but at this power level, it just let go. For the rest of the event we were running a blown rear LSD so it was just not handling right. In the future i will either be using an ATS or OS Giken LSD.

got some CRAZY vids and pics coming soon

the website is way out of date, we are not installing the R14 kits any longer. However we are wrapping up development on the DIY kit and will be selling the kits for wayyy less than before

Happy I could be there to help with the tuning end of track support.

So many people came together to make this happen not to mention the MANY long hard sleepless nights put in by Geoff. GREAT WORK to everyone involved, can't wait to be a part of the next upcoming R14 track event.

I'm sure we will be waist deep in photos, vids and write ups very soon

some video of our final lap of the day (fast lap) and the cooldown lap:

You can hear the exhaust break around 1min 25secs, and thats when things start to get scary..

the culprit: exhaust failed, ruptered high pressure p/s lineand p/s fluid ignited. We used a 22" long stainless DP, followed by the long aluminum exhuast. We used header wrap at the front of the exh, to protect the p/s hoses from heat, and this likely shortened the exhaust's life.. This aluminum exh has seen a lot of abuse, many hours of dynoing, street driving and practice sessions. The heavy loads during the time attack event were just too much and it gave up

fortunately it was an easy cleanup, the car is already back to blingin! needs a little work this weekend, but will be 100% by monday.

I cried when I heard about this last week.

Glad everyone was OK, and I hope to see it all back together and running soon :fistpumping:
