SLIDE-FX RACING TO EXPAND IN 2008

Slide-FX Pty Ltd CEO Glenn Campbell will be expanding operations in 2008 with the introduction of a fourth team car to compete in the Drift Australia series.

“With the success of the team during 2007, SFX Racing is in a position now to move forward with our expansion plans, we have been considering for a while that it would complete the team having a fourth car and our current sponsors are happy with the expansion, so everything is in place now to make it happen.” Commented an enthusiastic Glenn Campbell.

With what is already a big operation in the Drift Australia paddock SFX Racing will be seeking expressions of interest from the current driver ranks to fill the fourth drivers position in the team.

SFX Racing is seeking the services of a motivated individual with good industry contacts, and who is a team orientated player especially within the current framework of Slide-FX Pty Ltd. If you already have a vehicle and sponsors they will have to be interested/able in integrating with the SFX Racing structure. All applicants will have to prove previous success with sponsors and the relationships fostered, be happy to go above and beyond to keep the SFX Racing brand/sponsors in media focus and satisfied at all times. A complete turn-key vehicle package is on offer to the right applicant with the right budget. Previous top level DA experience is not essential.

The applicant will have to provide a proposal in writing to SFX Racing CEO Glenn Campbell no later than 22 September 2007 for immediate consideration.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a driver to have the backing of a major team and all its resources to compete in the 2008 season. SFX Racing will transport the successful applicants vehicle, spares to all events SFX Racing is involved with and provide mechanical support and development through out the year in a fantastic, cohesive team environment.

All applications will be treated as confidential and are to be sent to Glenn Campbell [email protected] or 5 Excellence Drive, Wangara, WA 6065.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
