Updates for the new drift year:
Creepiest storage area at night ever:
Into the garage:
GKtech rear knuckle and lower arm for extra lows with traction and handling:
Fairly low but functional ride height with correct geometry and kinematics
The wheel wells are filled, but 40mm wheelspacer is used so next year I'll design a new setup from the ground up based on stock subframe mounting points:
Design stage:
Main advantage of going 5 link is anti-squat change during suspension travel. From static to 50mm compressed it only changes 6% compared to 60% of OEM 4 link.
Cleaned the interior and removed sound system, ECU placed under the stock radio location for ease of access, mounted with a 3D printed plate (should have taken pictures)
The OEM replacement clutch master cylinder wasn't cutting it as it couldn't hold pressure needed for ACT 6 puck clutch, kept sticking to the floor so I went with a Wilwood 0.62. Pedal is super firm now and not a single issue thus far. The connection is ghetto and needs to be cleaned up as I put together from parts from another project.
Had the engine tuned with the Ecumaster EMU now in charge of running the engine:
Made 307 hp/334 lb-ft torque at wheels so it should be 370 hp and 400 lb-ft at the crankshaft if transmission loss is 20%. Open loop boost control was used, but this should be remedied in the future as the boost response is not as good as before.
Tested the new setup:
Boost response was not as good as before as expected but extra 80 hp was sweet.
Pretty much ready for the season.
