Well, Last night there was this competition between Subaru and Nissan at the track that started at 5:00Pm. At 3:00pm I go to get VP for the competition. Just getting there, I test the car in gear 3 and everything feels ok BUT after that I don’t hear the turbo anymore!I stop and pop the hood to find the turbine is missing parts of the teethes and it won’t turn! F**ck. We return home and my mechanic gets my brothers RB25 (project in the works) Turbo, that it’s smaller than mine but fits. We change everything in record time and tune the car a little on the way to the track. Results:
First pass: (awful start) (my first time with MT ET Street tires) 2.2 60ft. / 12.6 ET@119mphSecond pass: (great start) 1.9 60ft. / 12.2 et@113mph.
In that second pass, the car felt odd. It got off the line great, but kind of died halfway. Results :…I F**cked my brother’s turbo too! It damaged a bearing. We’ll check the lubricating system to see if that the problem. Anyways I am glad with the results.
