Few updates...

Finnish winter is long and cold, better to stay in garage.

First we did gave body bit tidening up and makeover.
We made new front fenders (and offcourse moldings for those.) New RS model front end parts with few added OEM goodies. Lotīs of fitting and body straightening and new paintjob and graphix. Still missing RS front lip...











Engine:

First i changed ACL Race conrod bearings and ARP conrod bolts, checked pushrods and did basic maintenance.
Then bit redo on fuelsystem, E85 compatible foams to fuelcell, KMS 1210cc injectors. Holley HP series low pressure fuel pump, new filters and couple lines that werent meant with E85.
Then added oil cooler adapter palte and connected Accusump oil accumulator and Oil cooler.




Then offcourse a centrifugal supercharger Paxton Novi 2200SL,with ECS brackets. That pumps max. 1450cfm, 1000hp. Little less on my car. 600x300x100 chinese intercooler. And VAG 60mm electric throtle body used as blow-off. Other mechanical blow-of used as boost control...










Then bit off hazle with charger belts, with that throttle body. And with boost (was bit too much 0-7-0.8bar) and A1000 fuelpumpu met itīs limits.

Dynograph from first test, bit too much boost, bit too low on fuel and we did stop there, lots of power on reserve.





I changed fuelpump to Fuelab Prodigy 1500hp, did few upgrades and another try, on 0.5-0.6bar boost gave folloving, clutch or tyres did slip after 5500rpm, but it pulls on great to 6600rpm.





Season can begin

This time i donīt post on-season picīs and videos on forumīs, if interested follow my Autoviitala drifiting team group on facebook.

Very nice power numbers. I have to ask though, what part does having a supercharger and now even more power play in a drift competition? It appears you have plenty of power to keep the wheels spinning and as I understand it, it's more about follow the leader than get to the finish line first. So did you need more power or does it give you better advantage somehow?

Good luck this season!

Evolution of Camaro continues

I did re-design front suspension. Removed front springs that were between frame and lower control arm. Made new upper mounts for coil-overs. S13 coilies, modified lower end. Also changed upper controld arms to SPC adjustable ones, here comes Caster.





6-rib charger belts didnīt hold up that long last summer, changed over 10 of them during summer. So i did bought Summit SFI 8-rib balancer and changed 8-rib charger pulley and belt. Hope it helps... Gates belt align lazer was great help when aligning pulleys, good buy from Rockauto.




Re-made fuel lines from enginebay. With ebay cheapo AN fittings and Nylon-braided fuel line that should accept RE85, also Holley fuel rails had been allready changed after last posts.

Also changed original throtle body that had been modified from DBW to cable driven. It didnīt work properly and eated couple of TPS sensors during 4 summers. Ebay china-billet one seemed quite good for itīs price.



Also did made support bar to back of bonnet. It was quite restless in high speeds without additional rear center pins. Also should keep smells at engine out from cabin. Heater inlet is front of screen as usual.
