Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has had any real difficulties drifting their stock cefiro?

Mine has everything else setup eg mech diff, coilovers, adj suspension links, clutch etc however ive run into some cash problems and cant afford any major power mods for a while. i dont wanna waste time and money taking it out to a practice day for it to be uncompetitive and a handful to drift, but also i dont want it to really sit around while i save up for mods.

engine mods so far only include a cat back exhaust and hybrid front mount. rest is stock. how much boost can the stock turbo handle and for how long under drift conditions?

cheers

Aden.

yeah what softy said, you don't need that much power to drift if you've got a nice suspension setup and diff, stock RB20DET's should give you enough oomph. The only gripe I have with ceffy's is their boat like swaying. Make sure its got a low center of gravity and rigid suspension and you'll be fine.

In any case you should give it a go. It'll give you a feel for the car, and you can then tweak the suspension till it handles the way you want it to. A lot of guys bleet on about "teh ultimate drift machine" which they're building up, but have never seen a second of track time.

cheers guys for the responses, ill definately be out at a practice soon to give it a go as soon as i can source some tyres. anyone interested in some 235/45/17s i got, or willing to swap for some 16 inch rubber?

any ideas also about how much boost thru stock turbo?

Stock rb20 in the cefiro would probably be your SAFEST bet.

Just wind the boost to say 10psi and go for a dyno run to make sure it isn't r+r'ing or running lean.

Shhh.. tell noone.

go for it mate, youll luv it, if i were you though id go on a quiet search for a r32 rb20 turbs(slightly bigger) or even a rb25 turbs, as someone mentioned above though youll have lean out issues though untill you get it tuned but i would suggest 10-12 psi and go n buy a dump/front pipe :D (rb's sound great with screamer pipes :D )

i have no turbo and auto and i still make it drift, seriously drifting isn't about how much power you have or suspension it's about the heart you have n how much you can stick it to the MAAAAON

They drift really nicely with standard power if you have a good set of coilovers and a 2 way, and a set of pineapples help too.

After some mods and a few gearboxes later I had mine running 195rwkw and it drifted really well it was an animal. RB20s sound really nice with a 3" exhaust with no cat or muffler :D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
