Torque is horsepower. Horsepower is calculated by putting a torque value, and the rpm at which that toque value was made, into a formula.

 

Basically, you're always tuning for torque. Horsepower doesn't really exist, it's a mathematical equation off of torque. An engine produces torque.

At the basics, higher the torque and rpm, higher the horsepower. Hold torque for longer in the RPM, the horsepower will always continue to rise.

Horsepower = RPM X Torque / 5252

 

Anybody have picks with the wheels off to show suspension/brakes etc? I'd love to see what you track nuts are working with!

 

The car is on basically stock suspension (because I'm in TTB). The brakes are Girodisc 2 piece rotors paired with Raybesto ST43's, titanium shims, and 3" air ducting.

 

Not much to see here. Just some brownbo's, rotors, ohlins... Oh wait, what's that?!

 

Exactly. I wana see what everyone has behind the shiny bits. I love the nitty gritty shots. The behind the scenes if you will.

I'm making progress as well:

 

Man those rotors sure do look heavy

 

Yeah they do! The new girodisc is certainly on my short list.

 

Brownbo's, ball joint heatshields, and some sick stance coilovers . Rotors not pictured are racing brake directional vane one piece rotors. I'm not baller enough for 2 piece rotors.


These pics were taken before I had all the body work done after the wheel came off. Brand new ARP studs though

 

Hey Sean that pump sure looks heavy sticking out in the front there

 

I would like to relocate that some day. Have other stuff to do first though, like upgrade the rad, oil cooler, and oil pan...lol.

 

Fun stuff Whats the plan with the oil pan? Almost seems like unless you go dry sump there really isnt a great option. Guessing you're planning on fabbing up something yourself? I just picked up a Lincoln Power Mig 210MP but I have a ways go go until I'll actually be a competent welder...

 

How on earth is your car so dirty living in Vegas?

 

Duh rally car brooo!

 

Probably go with a racefab when the time comes that I can afford this round of upgrades. And MAP sells an oil cooler kit that use a Setrab cooler, so I'll go with the that. And likely a CBRD radiator.


It was from going at the bowl turbo at Streets of Willow when the wheel came off. It's no longer that dirty underneath...lol
