Is It Worth The Hype? Electronic Wastegate Control High Performance Academy 2023-12-10 | LS vs 351, Panhard vs watts link, electronic wastegate control magic and the surprising advantage a 1965 Ford Mustang has over many modern chassis are all discussed in this interview with Mike Dusold of Dusold Designs.------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------Most of us love the look of a classic car on the surface, but we've come a LONG way when it comes to the suspension geometry and engines hidden underneath. This particular setup uses a solid rear end with a watts link along with a 351 Ford Windsor-based V8 using twin Garret G-Series G35-900 turbochargers to produce 820hp at 8 psi, which is far from the ceiling but more than enough to start dialling in the car.What is there to dial in when you can simulate so much in software like Performance Trends and Fusion 360 before even touching a welder these days? Mike explains that while on paper, or in this case screen, you can get an ideal setup, driver preference and real-world conditions still play a vital role. For that reason, critical adjustments like the roll centre height are never fixed based on untested educated assumptions alone. Also touched on is how the software is only as powerful as the data you can feed it, and gathering that data correctly is a skill set in itself.The MoTeC-controlled 430 cubic inch 351 Windsor-based small block Ford V8 benefits from Trick Flow heads narrowing down the margins between it and the ever-popular LS V8 engine which Mike runs a variant of in his own Camaro. Having experience with both, a quick comparison is drawn between the two but as stated once you start getting over 1000hp you generally start running into similar problems on any engine, there is no perfect solution in every respect.Lastly, we discuss some of the surprises electronic wastegate control via Turbosmart eGates can deliver along with some of the wiring considerations that are not necessarily as bad as some might think once set up correctly.------------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Racing A Classic: Mike Dusold0:18 - Why A 65 Mustang?1:15 - The Problem With Old Chassis2:05 - Technology Improvements2:51 - Aftermarket Part Support3:34 - Advantage Of This Classic3:57 - Rear End Solid Axle4:24 - Negative Camber Components5:35 - Tyre Distortion Vs Camber6:12 - Panhard Rod Vs Watts Linkage7:34 - Roll Centre Height9:24 - Software Analysis10:03 - Hard Part Is Measuring/Data Collection10:33 - Data Validation11:42 - Without Data, It's Just Opinion12:18 - 351 Ford Windsor12:47 - 351 Weakness13:03 - 820whp at 8psi13:44 - GM Vs Ford Generalisations15:19 - Cylinder Head 10115:36 - Twin Turbo Setup15:55 - Turbosmart E-Gate Setup16:20 - Wastegate Control Stratagy16:52 - Exhaust Pressure Differential17:22 - Electronic Vs Pneumatic Wastegate18:27 - Electronic Wastegate Wiring Considerations20:16 - It's All A Learning Process21:05 - Thanks Mike!21:18 - BUILD.TUNE.DRIVE------------------------------------🏆 Win FREE ECUs, engine components, wiring tools, alignment setups and more.

Billet Block Engine Builds On The Street | Impossible, Or Just Different? High Performance Academy 2023-12-06 | We recently released a fantastic interview with Herman Urriola of Platinum Racing products, who discussed an upcoming aftermarket cast RB26 project with Crest CNC. Unfortunately, it caused some confusion and a few phone calls, so let's set things straight!------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------You can drive anything you want on the street (laws aside) to work any day of the week. A Le Mans prototype, 6-second 4-cylinder drag cars, a jet-engined sprint boat or a WRC spec rally car is possible if you have the budget. How many times, how far you get and how reliable any of those applications are on your commute to work over time compared to the likes of a stock Toyota Corolla will all be different. Different compromises and considerations just like a cast iron block vs billet aluminium has.In this quick #update done live before a members webinar lesson, Andre highlights when it comes to bearing clearance and cold start considerations, there are differences between the materials used between cast and billet engine blocks and some people are happy to work around that for street applications, where as others don't want to deal with that side of things as all as Herman stated is the case for many of his customers.After all if you are stretched to buy a billet block a considerable investment into a dry sump system on top of that might just be too much leaving an aftermarket cast option as an ideal alternative.Alternatively, if you have a high performance build you want to be able to drive on the street and a billet block is the answer for your requirements hands down, a dry sump system was probably something you planned to fit anyway noting the the context they are discussed in here is FAR from the only advantage they bring to the table.------------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Today At HPA0:11 - Aftermarket Cast Blocks0:40 - Billet & Street Applications1:32 - The Problem With Billet Material2:03 - 'Can't Turn Over Cold' Myth2:24 - Cold Starts2:56 - Cold Vs Hot Clearance Solution3:15 - The Downside: Low Oil Pressure3:30 - The Fix: Drysump3:41 - There Are Tradeoffs For BOTH Options4:11 - BUILD.TUNE.DRIVE------------------------------------🏆 Win FREE ECUs, engine components, wiring tools, alignment setups and more.

This Isnt Possible, Is it? High Performance Academy 2023-12-02 | There’s a good chance there’s more you could be doing to get the most out of your car’s handling capabilities, and this week’s guest — industry legend Mike Kojima of @motoiq — is here to talk you through it.This is just ONE small clip from a FULL podcast episode jam packed with Mikes knowledge: hpacademy.com/blog/054-unlock-your-cars-full-handling-potential-podcastMotoIQ has long been a trusted source for technical knowledge covering a wide range of subjects, and although founder Mike Kojima is an automotive jack of all trades, it’s his vast knowledge of suspension tuning that we tap into for this episode.Mike first talks us through basic suspension set up rules to live by, the pitfalls of cheap parts, and points out where he sees enthusiasts going wrong time and time again — it turns out that it’s not all that hard to take a step backwards in handling performance when fitting new parts if you don’t know what you’re doing.The episode then dives pretty deep into the finer details of handling, focusing on tyre temps, front-wheel drive and drift-specific wheel alignment secrets, as well as super-common issues that could be fixed relatively easily with a few tweaks. Finishing up with a fascinating look into the world of Formula D suspension, wheel alignment, and tyre setups, this episode is required listening for anyone that likes to go fast.-------------------------------Check out our suspension and car setup courses here: http://hpcdmy.co/handleb-------------------------------TAGS:#highperformanceacademy #learntotune #carhandling #suspension #wheel alignment #datanerd #gofasterwithdata #drifting #formulad #motorsport
What It Takes To SMASH Records High Performance Academy 2023-12-01 | This is just one small clip form a full podcast episode with Feras Qartuomy on his success racing a 1300hp C6 Corvette that he also built!Find the podcast here: hpacademy.com/blog/094-what-makes-this-record-breaking-corvette-so-fast-podcast------------------EPISODE DESCRIPTiONThere’s no denying that the C6 Corvette is an excellent sports car platform, but it’s probably not the first option that many people reach for when looking to put together an ultra-competitive top-level time attack car. @ferasqartoumy clearly understands its potential, though. He’s not only built a competitive Corvette — he’s built an absolute monster that doesn’t just take podiums, it smashes plenty of outright lap records too.-------------------------------------Don’t forget, use “FERAS100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Track Day Package: hpcdmy.co/trackdayb-------------------------------------If you’ve been following time attack in the US at all, Feras Qartoumy is a name you’re probably already familiar with. Along with his trusty Corvette, Feras has set and reset many lap records on circuits around the US, consistently proving to be the man to beat.In this episode, Feras first talks us through how he built up the skills he uses to build and improve his rapid Corvette, before diving into his racing history that started with karts and pro-touring muscle cars.The sport of time attack is next on the table, as Feras breaks down the format, explaining how it all works and the differences between time attack in the US versus locations like Australia and Japan.The conversation next dives deep into Feras’ dominating twin-turbo C6 Corvette. All aspects of the car are broken down and explained, from the powerplant to the suspension, to the aerodynamics package, and much more. Feras goes into an excellent amount of detail in explaining why he made the decisions he did when putting this build together, and just why he thinks the car is as fast as it is. To be clear, although this definitely isn’t a super cheap build, it’s also not an open-chequebook project either, and there’s some great insight in this episode when it comes to getting the most speed out of your dollar.This conversation also covers the centrifugal blower vs turbo argument, building engines for time attack racing, motorsport traction control, how Feras fabricated his own aero package for the car, and a whole lot more.With the Corvette currently on its way to Sydney for this year’s World Time Attack Challenge, we’re looking forward to seeing just what this all-American record-breaking machine and its driver can accomplish on a world stage.Watch our SEMA 2022 interview with Feras here: youtu.be/xhcPXKrw1aw-------------------------------------Don’t forget, use “FERAS100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Track Day Package: hpcdmy.co/trackdayb-------------------------------------#C6corvette #timeattack #wtac #aerodynamics #twinturbo #highperformanceacademy #motorsport #circuitracing #motec #enginebuilding
105: Is Honda’s K-Series Really the Greatest 4-Cylinder Ever Made? [#PODCAST] High Performance Academy 2023-11-30 | Few people know more about ultra-high-performance engine building than this week’s guest, Terry Radbourne of @bournehpp. In this episode, we’re going to be discussing topics like creating engines for LMP1 and Mercedes’ F1 team, truly getting the absolute most out of Honda’s K series motor, as well as the odd controversial opinion that’s sure to get the comment section fired up.Use “BOURNEHPP100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Engine Building package:hpcdmy.co/enginepackagebTerry brings an intriguing mix of expertise and insider knowledge — straight out of school, he found himself working for Advanced Engine Research and quickly became involved in some seriously high-end race engine design and building work. After a few years spent honing his craft — including a stint creating engines for the Mercedes Formula 1 team, Terry went on to found his own company, Bourne High Performance Powertrains, or Bourne HPP for short.Bourne HPP specialises in designing and building seriously aggressive motors — most commonly of the Honda K-series variety in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. This allows us to dive very deep into the intricacies of four-cylinder engine building, and time is spent discussing intake port design, cylinder sleeves, compression ratio, and a whole lot more.We also get stuck into the K-series motor itself, and Terry spends time talking us through exactly why he thinks this is one of the best engines ever produced and how to get the most out of it. As Bourne HPP is something of a one-stop-shop that does everything from engine rebuilds, to NA and turbocharged crate engine packages, to dyno tuning with the use of Syvecs and Lyfe Racing ECUs, Terry has an absolute oversupply of knowledge that he’s (mostly) willing to share.If you want to get smarter, this episode with Terry Radbourne of Bourne HPP is not to be missed.As mentioned in the podcast, you can listen to our episode featuring Syvec’s Ryan Griffiths here: hpcdmy.co/SyvecsFollow Bourne HPP here:IG: @bourne_hppFB: Bourne HPPWWW: bournehpp.comDon’t forget, you can use “BOURNEHPP100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Engine Building package: hpcdmy.co/enginepackagebTimestamps:4:13 How did Terry get into the industry?7:23 Terry's experience at AER9:27 Designing a blank-sheet engine15:05 How important is modern virtual validation in engine design?20:49 Proving an engine concept with a single cylinder/engine efficiency28:42 Fuel air/ratio atomisation34:08 Cylinder head porting41:00 Le Mans lamba targets46:20 Choosing different maps and strategies48:00 How did Terry get a job at Mercedes F1?50:48 Energy recovery in F156:38 Managing energy into the tyre over the length of a race57:58 How did Terry start Bourne HPP?1:01:06 Life Racing ECUs1:15:00 Honda K201:18:35 Lightweight engine components1:19:50 Why is gear drive not used in production engines?1:21:32 Downfalls of the K20 for race applications1:27:05 NA compression ratios1:31:58 Why go away from V-TEC?1:42:18 ITBs vs Intake plenum1:46:51 How do we size ITBs?1:51:10 K20 port profiling1:53:11 Turbocharging the K202:02:45 Ductile iron sleeves2:06:28 Head gasket sealing with the turbo K20#bournehpp #hondakseries #k20 #k24 #highperformanceacademy #buildtunedrive #learndriveoptimise #motorsport #learntotune #enginebuilding101 #dontletthesmokeout #datanerd #gofasterwithdata #racecraft #auto #carmods #automotive #motorsports #racing #mercedesf1 #endurance #circuitracing #roadracing #boost #hondansx #hondacivic #hondacivictyper

Do Wider Tyres RUIN Brake Performance? High Performance Academy 2023-11-21 | And does a 'slip ratio' actually measure how much your tyres is slipping or skidding along the road under braking etc, or something else?------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------In this module, just one of many taken from the HPA Brake System Design and Optimization course, you will explore the fundamental mechanisms behind how tires generate longitudinal force. The amount of longitudinal force a tire can generate while braking depends on various parameters, with the slip ratio being the primary influencer. Vertical load, slip angle, camber angle, temperature, inflation pressure, and vehicle speed also play important roles.For every set of conditions, there exists an optimal slip ratio that maximizes the generation of longitudinal force, also referred to as braking force. The slip ratio experienced by the tires is primarily determined by the driver's application of brake pedal force.Furthermore, we will discover how the coefficient of friction produced by the tires during braking is sensitive to the vertical load.Don't worry! All the basics like 'what even is vertical load and longitudinal force' are also covered before getting stuck into things!------------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Complexity & Parameters1:17 - Slip Ratio Visualisation1:55 - Under Braking Vs Free Wheeling2:04 - Example2:13 - Important Clarification2:37 - Force Vs Slip Ratio3:20 - Linear, Transitional and Friction Ranges4:07 - You Don't Want This4:58 - Vertical Load6:03 - Implications & Tyre Width6:59 - Rubber/Compound7:26 - Wider Vs Inflation Pressure8:02 - Non-linear8:16 - Road Racing8:40 - Tyre Data8:50 - Key Points9:37 - BUILD | TUNE | DRIVE------------------------------------🏆 Win FREE ECUs, engine components, wiring tools, alignment setups and more.

Have you been adjusting your suspension the wrong way? #short High Performance Academy 2023-11-20 | One of the reasons for fitting coil over suspension is to allow for accurate changes to ride height, but there’s lots of misinformation as to how to make these ride height changes - Should you use the spring perch or the lower damper mount?A common myth is that if we adjust the ride height via the spring perch then we’re changing the effective spring rate (which simply isn’t the case for a linear rate spring). There’s various arguments as to how this will adversely affect the suspension’s operation and the car’s handling. Those who believe this myth will make ride height changes at the lower mount, but this can compromise the suspension performance, or be outright dangerous.Setting up coil over suspension is a balancing act - We’re trying to get our desired ride height, while also achieving sufficient bump and rebound travel, and most importantly, ensuring the wheel can’t contact the chassis at full bump travel.The first priority is to ensure that the wheel can’t contact the chassis and this is done with the spring removed so we can jack the suspension to the full bump position. At this point the lower mount should be adjusted to ensure clearance to the chassis.We can then check the total amount of suspension travel at the wheel. A good rule of thumb is that 2/3 of the available travel should be in bump, while the remaining 1/3 should be in rebound from your target ride height. Since the maximum bump travel position, and total travel are now known, we now have a guide as to what the ride height should be in order to meet our rule of thumb.Of course the rule of thumb is just that and we may choose to compromise bump travel in order to run the car lower. But the point of the post is that the lower mount is there to control our bump/rebound ratio and prevent wheel contact, while the spring perch is there to adjust the ride height.#highperformanceacademy #buildtunedrive #learndriveoptimise #motorsport #learntotune #auto #carmods #automotive #motorsports #racing #dragracing #endurance #circuitracing #roadracing
Is Fusion 360 Any Good? High Performance Academy 2023-11-19 | Autodesk Fusion 360 is still a 'new player' comparatively in the CAD/CAM software world, yet it is already more popular than man options that have been around for decades. ------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------During SEMA, Josh Reader of Autodesk gave us a quick run-through on some of the features that have helped Fusion 360 become so popular so quickly and helped us understand what some of the terms and workflows for CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) and CAD (computer-aided design) projects.Some great key points for you here include clearing up misunderstandings on generative design and manufacturing, why simulation is used before running a project on a machine and the advantage of having software that is almost 'all in one' when it comes to iterative changes between you and your chosen machinist.What is Fusion 360? Briefly, Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD/CAM solution for product (in our case, race car parts) development. It combines industrial and mechanical design, simulation, collaboration, and machining in a single package. It's an excellent option for makers who want to create their own designs or prototype parts with greater speed and efficiency. Although it may seem intimidating when people like Josh emphasize the importance of knowing what you're doing, remember that everyone starts from scratch. Even learning just one thing about CAD/CAM today is a valuable addition to your knowledge, which can be further expanded upon tomorrow. Over time, these incremental learnings accumulate to form a vast breadth of knowledge and experience. Remember, it all begins somewhere (and for 3D modelling that somewhere might be the HPA CAD course 😉).------------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Autodesk Fusion 3600:47 - What Is Fusion 360?1:46 - Use One Design File2:38 - How Generative Design Works3:28 - Generative Design Manufacturing3:47 - What Is CAM? 4:43 - KEY POINT!4:54 - Design Process Workflow5:30 - Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing etc)6:49 - What Is Slicing?7:05 - Laser Cutting, Routing, Milling etc7:58 - Machine Setup In Fustion 3608:49 - Why Use Simulation?9:18 - Creating A Tool Path10:30 - Post Processing11:09 - What Is G-Code?

11,000RPM Judd V10 — Not as Good as You’d Think? [#PODCAST 104] High Performance Academy 2023-11-16 | Sideways legend @RyanTuerck joins us this week to sit down and discuss the many different aspects of his life — from finding competitive setups in an extremely cut-throat Formula D championship, to an in-depth look at some of his most incredible internet-breaking builds, to a frank discussion on the complete metamorphosis of the sport of drifting in the two-plus decades Ryan has been involved, and much more.Use “TUERCK100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Motorsport Fabrication course: hpcdmy.co/fabpackagebWith a career spanning two decades, Ryan Tuerck has more insight than nearly anyone else out there when it comes to top-level drifting, the business of motorsport, and building some of the raddest Japanese cars the world has ever seen.Ryan got into the sport after transitioning away from motocross as a teenager, and in this episode, he discusses those very early days and the cars he was building to try and compete on a national stage. This was also the time he began learning about the business side of the sport — Ryan spends some time in this conversation dropping plenty of knowledge and truth bombs about making it in professional motorsport, discussing sponsorships, budgets, results, and more.Aside from his success in Formula D, Ryan is probably best known for his insane custom builds, and thankfully, we’re able to spend time running through the best of the best, from his competition GR Corolla to his Ferrari-powered 86, his insane Judd V10-powered GR Supra, and his latest Toyota Stout. Having so much experience in taking on massive projects like these, Ryan has some great advice to give about build planning, setting expectations, and recruiting the right people to get it all done.This episode has broad appeal and will suit anyone with any type of interest in motorsport, drifting, project builds, and much more.

Youve Been Installing Main Studs Wrong! #shorts High Performance Academy 2023-11-15 | While you might be able to get away with a little sloppiness when building an engine for a street car, that’s not going to fly when it comes to dedicated race engines. In this episode, we sit down with Tom Hughes from @hughesraceengineering5262 to discuss exactly why that is, how we can ensure we’re building our engines right, what makes a great naturally aspirated race engine build, and much more.-----------------------------------------Use “HUGHES50” to get 50% off our HPA Practical Engine Building Course here: hpcdmy.co/practicalengineb-----------------------------------------The conversation this week kicks off with Tom’s background and journey towards owning and operating his own high-end engine building business. Tom went through the apprenticeship route, first starting out learning the trade at a reputable race engine builder, before pivoting towards rocketry of all things.After a few years spent building engines for @RocketLabNZ Tom decided to put the house up for sale and bet it all on what would become Hughes Race Engineering, which focuses on high-end race engine builds. While the business spends plenty of time building monster RB26s, 3S-GEs, and even GR Yaris G16E-GTSs, Tom’s speciality is Toyota’s venerable 1UZ-FE quad cam V8. These four-litre alloy V8s have long been used in the popular speedway scene in New Zealand, and Tom is a wizard when it comes to squeezing big power out of them, all while sticking within the restrictive Super Stock class rules.These engines are covered in great detail in this conversation, as is a wider discussion around what needs to be done in order to build dependable, high-revving, naturally aspirated engines that can’t hide any shortcomings behind a wall of boost. There’s also plenty of talk in this episode around tolerances, flow numbers, when to outsource parts of your process, and much more — so if you’re even remotely interested in engine building or starting a business in the industry, this one is well worth your time.#hughesraceengineering #speedway #superstock #1uz #1uzfe #highperformanceacademy #motorsport #enginebuilding #rb26 #learntotune #enginebuilding101

Turbo Response Is Better Than Big Power! #shorts High Performance Academy 2023-11-14 | More engine capacity, bigger turbos, wider rubber. As enthusiasts, we’re almost hard-wired to want more of everything. In the motorsport world, however, bigger often isn’t better and it sometimes takes experience — often gained through painful lessons — to properly understand that and to build a car right. No one knows this better than this week’s guest, Jimmy Assaad of @evolutionracingsparesoffic1187 ., aka 'Jimmy EVO'. --------------------------------------Use “ERS100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Track Day Package here: hpcdmy.co/trackdayb--------------------------------------Jimmy started off his automotive life like many Sydney kids of the era — with a love for Mazda rotaries. That all changed the day he lined up for a friendly race with a mate that owned a Mitsubishi Evo. After seeing what that platform could do against the RX-7 he owned at the time, Jimmy pivoted away from rotary life and dove headfirst into the world of fast Mitsubishis.From that point on, he’s built a string of rapid Evos, running quick times at the dragstrip before deciding to try his hand at circuit racing by building a monster Evo VI RS, set up to take on the fiercely-contested Clubsprint class at World Time Attack Challenge. In this episode, Jimmy breaks down his championship-winning Evo, discussing the lessons learnt in the car’s development, as well as his decision to change up the build with a less-is-more ethos as the main driving force.Besides building rapid Mitsubishis, Jimmy also decided to leave his profession as a plumber nearly a decade ago in order to turn his passion into a living, starting Evolution Racing Spares. What started as a side hustle finding and dismantling Evos for resale to like-minded people has become a thriving business that employs numerous staff wrecking a range of different performance vehicles, as well as full workshop services and aftermarket parts sales. Jimmy is able to provide a really interesting look into the high-performance vehicle dismantling business — something that we’ve never really discussed on this podcast before.There are plenty of great chats in this episode about all things Evo, covering all generations as well as all the great Mitsubishi acronyms — #MIVEC, #ACD, #AYC — and much, much more.--------------------------------------Don't forget, you can use “ERS100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Track Day Package here: hpcdmy.co/trackdayb--------------------------------------#podcast #highperformanceacademy #ersevo #wtac #evovi #motorsport #learntotune #4g63 #mitsubishievo #hks #timeattack #tunedin #

N/A vs turbo and car handling #shorts High Performance Academy 2023-11-13 | You might not know the name, but you’ve probably seen @SamAlbertRally 's WRX online. Powered by a 4.3-litre Ferrari V8, Sam’s flame-spitting AWD rally car is fast, it’s cool, and it sounds amazing … But why go to all that trouble when Subaru’s own EJ drivetrain — the one that this car uses from the factory — has proven itself a capable championship-winning setup since the late eighties?----------------------------------------Use “SAMALBERT50” to get 50% OFF our HPA Race Driving Fundamentals course: hpcdmy.co/driverb----------------------------------------This episode (092) of Tuned In kicks off with a look into Sam’s history with cars and rallying — something he first competed in back in 2010. He’s also spent time as a driving instructor for DirtFish, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to discuss driving techniques like weight transfer, left-foot braking, handbrake turns, and much more. Sam also gives us some key tips on how someone new to the sport of rally is best to get into it and start building their first race car.We then get to the meat and potatoes of the episode, as Sam gives us a full rundown of his incredible Ferrari-powered NA-AWD class build. This conversation covers all aspects — starting with why he decided to go down this route — with a car he bought off the lot brand new, no less — in the first place. Sam then discusses what led him to the Ferrari V8, how he worked around the rule book to build something unique, as well as the many challenges that came with fitting a motor like this into his Subaru shell.It’s important to note that Sam doesn’t actually work in the automotive industry as a professional but instead learnt how to do things himself, including using HPA’s courses to learn how to wire his car. He’s also learning 3D modelling in order to design one-off parts for the Subaru — something that comes in handy for a one-off project like this.With some informative conversations covering tuning around inlet restrictors, the pros and cons of other engines that were also considered, as well as a great explanation of what the car is like to drive and what gives it an edge, there’s a whole lot of interesting topics to dive into in this episode.----------------------------------------Use “SAMALBERT50” to get 50% OFF our HPA Race Driving Fundamentals course: hpcdmy.co/driverb----------------------------------------#subaruwrx #rally #engineswap #ferrariv8 #highperformanceacademy #motorsport #wrx #subaru #rallyofamerica #tuning #motorsportwiring

Does an aftermarket ductile iron cast block bridge the gap for those in the middle who want to produce some serious power without the cost or complications of a billet block on a Nissan RB26-powered car that sees both street and track/race use?Herman Urriola of @prp-platinumracingproducts7915 thinks so, and we'd agree.In this interview, Herman and Andre run through some of the main flaws the Nissan and Nissan Heritage factory cast RB26 blocks have by discussing how PRP's ductile iron replacement via Crest CNC has addressed them. This includes superior material in the form of ductile iron giving greater rigidity, a 4 bolt main, 8mm bore thickness instead of the 3.5mm low that some Nissan RB26 blocks have, 14mm deck, improved serviceability and capacity options via sleeves, better oiling and head stud/main stud options to suit a range of built levels & demands.Also touched on is why horsepower won't kill your OEM cast block, but rather cylinder pressure does (a topic we've discussed many times before) and why a billet aluminium alloy block simply doesn't suit 99% of those wanting to drive their car on the street.We look forward to seeing this go into production, and Herman also gives some insight into what that process looks like in this day and age for aftermarket manufacturing companies like PRP. Executed well, this aftermarket RB26 casting can handle high cylinder pressure. However, for applications where it becomes too heavy, a billet block will be the alternative so it's certainly not the end of them. Like many parts, it's simply not a matter of 'this vs that,' but rather finding the right fit for the different use cases and accepting the tradeoffs.PS: While we just focused on the block, PRP is also working on an RB26 cylinder head.-----------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Bucking The Trend0:18 - RB26 Factory Cast Block Cracking1:40 - Modified Engine Issue Only?2:24 - RB26 Horsepower Reliability3:01 - Horsepower Doesn't Kill Blocks4:04 - What Is 'Wrong' Billet?5:22 - Billet On A Street Car6:12 - Billet Thermal Expansion6:56 - Aftermarket Cast Block8:15 - Serviceability8:47 - Sleeves9:03 - Deck & Headstud Upgrades10:37 - Proof Of Concept And Development12:02 - Finite Element Analysis (FEA)/Simulation13:15 - Pricing Options14:38 - Billet Is For A Different Use Case15:06 - Thanks Herman!15:55 - Exciting Times!16:05 - BUILD | TUNE | DRIVE------------------------------------🏆 Win an ECU, engine components, wiring tools, alignment setups or more.

The company has been in the high-performance engine game for a long time now, having supplied engines for the Formula One, NASCAR, and Indycar series.In this conversation, DeWayne and Tuned In host Andre Simon wade deep into the weeds of high-end race engine development, touching on many different aspects that go into creating something like Ilmor’s 700+hp, 2.2-litre, twin-turbo Indycar V6. Sure, that power figure’s not anything we haven’t seen before, but keep in mind that these engines need to produce that power reliably for hours on end at wide-open throttle in a race situation, and do it for far longer in testing. DeWayne spends time really breaking down some of the key considerations of engine operation and development, like the relationship between compression ratio, fuel octane, and boost pressure, as well as how to go about selecting the correct compression ratio for a given engine.Knock, detonation, pre-ignition, and super knock are also broken down and explained, allowing us to fully understand exactly what these conditions are and how they affect the operation of our engine and its durability.There’s a whole lot of high-protein engine development knowledge to chew on in this episode!#highperformanceacademy #f1 #formula1 #ilmor #indycar #engines #nascar #build #engineer

Check out Tuned In podcast episode "034: Why K-Swapping a Ferrari Makes Perfect Sense." With very little stock Ferrari left, this 640hp at 14psi (1000hp capable future proofing included too 👌) could be expected to face some massive teething issues and hours upon hours of adjustments before a major motorsport event, but that is not how Mike Burroughs of StanceWorks rolls, nor does he need to after putting the hard yards into to logical and quality fabrication work over the last few years.With a quick pad change to counter some brake bias issues, Mike was setting lap times out the gate, also thanks to time spent on the simulator pre event. This left the team free to make methodical, iterative changes over the weekend so Mike could chase his personal goal of continuous improvement remembering he is an expert fabricator, not Logan Sargent (which is a good thing in a way since it meant he didn't crash).Mike and the crew did have some gearbox issues a while after this interview.

Some comparisons around this and the VR38 in the R35 platform are discussed along with when a billet block might be considered down the line.Also touched on is the importance of the @MoTeCAustralia traction control setup for helping launch the car, ideally without wheeling which this platform is inherently prone to doing, along with the chassis, tyre and JRZ suspension setup vs just dumping more and more power into the equation in the quest for faster passes. Drag racing with a dual clutch transmission (DCT) is also a topic we get into again drawing some comparisons to the R35 platform with a nod to John Reed Racings polished development in this area.The goal for Jordan and the team are to get into the 6's with this platform, and we have no reason to believe they won't reach this goal and beyond.------------------------------------🏆 Win an ECU, engine components, wiring tools, alignment setups or more.

103: EV Racing. Its Not What You Think [#PODCAST] High Performance Academy 2023-11-02 | Despite how quickly the world is changing, race cars, track days, and the world of motorsport at large aren’t going anywhere. In this episode, we sit down with two pioneers who are leading the charge towards the inevitable adoption of viable EV platforms in amateur-level racing with their startup @scalarperformance. ----------------------------------------Use “SCALAR100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Track Day Package: hpcdmy.co/trackdayb----------------------------------------Joel Fallaise and Brian Bourne have walked very different paths getting to where they are today, with Joel having a background in the performance aftermarket and motorsport scene, and Brian coming from the IT world. Once they met and started collaborating on a few different projects, they realised they shared a common goal — being pioneers in racing and not just looking towards the future, but committing their effort, time, and funds to take serious, carefully considered steps to get there.The result is the Scalar SCR1, a 460hp race car that uses Toyota’s current GR86 platform as its base. Unlike factory-built sport-focused EVs out there, this machine is able to run endurance race laps at GT4 class speeds without complaint — and that’s no easy feat.This episode is a deep dive into the complexities of developing a viable EV race car, from choosing the components, to designing battery packs and electrical systems, to managing the extreme cooling solutions needed for a project like this.

🤑 4 Brake Caliper Considerations That Save Time & Money High Performance Academy 2023-11-01 | Bigger brakes ALWAYS mean better braking performance. WRONG! ------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------Fitting brake calipers that have a bigger piston area for more clamping force or brake torque seems like it would be the no-brainer way to improve braking performance, but we're missing some vital considerations with this commonly believed myth that makes it untrue.Explained here are some of the other factors you must consider, which include master cylinder sizing, pedal travel, brake bias and physical restrictions, which all play critical roles in your brake packaging options and performance.Why would even fit bigger discs, calipers and better pads but retain the same amount of brake torque yet still improve brake performance in compliance (movement), thermal management, weight and brake pad compound range options.Also discussed is what might happen if you stray too far from what your OEM ABS system is expecting regarding front vs rear brake bias and how it can be relatively simple to stay within this window but still improve your vehicle's braking performance.------------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - What Brake Calipers Do0:34 - Why Upgrade?0:55 - Master Cylinder Pressure1:35 - Brake Torque2:10 - Piston Area Increase3:22 - Front Upgrade Only3:40 - Upgrade While Maintaining Balance?4:15 - Tyre Grip Considerations4:32 - COG Considerations4:48 - Brigger Brake Physical Constraints5:22 - Allow For Flex & Expansion5:42 - Caliper Mounting6:07 - Caliper Brackets6:41 - Caliper Positioning7:35 - Supplier Recommendations8:16 - Directional Calipers8:26 - Brake Bleeding8:51 - Key Points!8:58 - 1.)

Aftermarket ABS can shave SECONDS off your lap! #shorts High Performance Academy 2023-10-30 | ABS comes standard in a lot of modern cars, however Bosch's Motorsport ABS seems to be the first choice for many drivers and its clear to see why!------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------Click the link if you would like to learn more: hpacademy.com/blog/22-x-track-records-1-x-1300hp-corvette-c6With 780hp at 8psi low boost and 1300hp at 20psi high boost (that's 969kW at 1.38 Bar) options on tap via 2 externally-ish mounted Garrett G35-900 turbochargers and an LME-built, 430ci LSX, Feras Qartoumy's C6 Z06 Chevrolet Corvette is no stranger to a trophy or two as discussed at SEMA.The LSX is a 2000hp spec build using an RHS block, Callies crank, rods, Diamond pistons, Brodix head, a custom-ground camshaft from Comp Cams, and an MSD Atomic Airforce intake manifold. Part of building up to this level over the years involved using a lot of aftermarket parts that would support the required power levels, but were more suited for drag racing and dyno queen runs (no offence intended!), leading to some unexpected development requirements all for the better.The car uses a MoTeC traction control system via the M150 ECU to help keep the full boost from 3500rpm under control, and a Bosch Motorsport ABS system at the other end of the straights which has had the biggest impact on car confidence so far. So what next? One of the biggest future goals is to reduce weight. To get where it is at 2950lbs (1228kg) other than general parts stripping, the car has shed 40lbs thanks to carbon fibre body panels from Anderson Composites and a whopping 60lbs from the removal of the stock wiring harness some years ago. Adding a paddle shift setup to the PPG 6-speed sequential is also high on the list along with suspension data solutions and some tidying up of the impressive Verus Engineering & Feras developed aero package.At the time of filming the car holds at least 22 track records.------------------------------------🏆 Win an ECU, engine components, wiring tools, alignment setups or more.

Too much BOOST for your engine block? This MIGHT be a solution. High Performance Academy 2023-10-29 | The factory design of engine blocks did not anticipate the extreme boost pressures we see today, often struggling to even handle 15 psi let alone 100 psi or more which many are pushing down the drag strip. Fortunately, there are aftermarket modifications available that allow us to push the limits without the risk of splitting our engine blocks in half.------------------------------------🙋♂️ Take $25 USD off ANY HPA course with coupon code: YOUTUBE25Enrol now: hpcdmy.co/25offyt------------------------------------Modern engine builds now achieve power levels that were unimaginable not long ago, especially in small 4-cylinder applications, with boost pressures exceeding 100 psi.
