When discussing the spool-up and high-end flow characteristics of a given turbocharger, the term “wheel trim” may pop up. If you’re in the market for a turbocharger upgrade, comparing new units, or are...

The invasion of the 500hp all-wheel drive rallycross cars continues in the US. Following up on an exciting run at X-Games 16, rallycross hit the New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) for the first ever RallyCar Rallycross competition.
It still needs the accessories, head, turbo, and oil pan to be swapped over from our old engine. Needless to say, it didn’t drive to the Mitsubishi Owners Day 2010 show.
The fans and show attendees also came back this year stronger and deeper. With MOD scheduled to being at 9AM, we spied long lines of Mitsubishi owners sitting in their cars at 6:30AM, ready to enter the parking areas.
With 400hp and 450hp+ versions, factory and factory replacement intercoolers, intakes, and downpipes can be used to keep costs low and stealthy engine bays intact.
AMS claims 650whp out of the 35R-equipped 2.3-liter engine. Lots of parts and surely you couldn’t it again for the same price, but is this car worth $125,000?
Like a good set of tires, drivetrain is an often-overlooked area of car tuning. Many obsess over blowers, exhausts and wheels but when it comes time to get that project buttoned up, the cheapest clutch kit is usually shoved in.
Joining together members of the auto industry in a laidback and casual environment, which is one part networking and two parts driving, the day was a sold out success. The range of companies present ran the entire gamut of the industry, with employees present from corporate giant Honda down to small racing shops.
Similar in build level to our own Modified and Limited classes, the Open Class cars featured built engines, high horsepower, bolt-on aerodynamics, roll cages, and full track car qualifications.
The Pro Class is where the big dogs run. This is the category for all-out entries; the cars built with huge power, flared bodies, GT-style aerodynamics and full crews of mechanics.
Run at the former A1GP and V8 Supercars racetrack, the World Time Attack Challenge featured the appearance of the Tomei/Cusco Subaru WRX STI (JPN), Sierra Sierra Enterprises Evo 8 (USA), Panspeed Mazda RX-7 (JPN), Hi-Octane Racing R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R (AUS), R-Magic Mazda RX-7 (JPN), Cyber Evo (JPN), Mel Rose Racing V8 Supercar (AUS) and many others.

Headed up by Koyama-san, formerly of JUN Auto, Koyama Racing has built this Lancer Evo X as their first demo car. Features a custom turbocharger setup, custom intake manifold, aero work and full chassis prep. Has been used in time attack and other track events.
After sitting out the first day completely, the 700hp Cyber Evo hit the track hard. Setting a time of 1:30.899, the longtime time attack competitor re-asserted its place at the top of the sport.
For the new 2010 season, the Redline Time Attack series decided to re-invest and go bigger. Shaking off all notions of economic instability and hard times, Redline Time Attack introduced its own stimulus package.
In preparation for the new 2010 time attack season, many cars underwent transformations, upgrades and overhauls. Others still were retired in favor of new chassis or made their competition debut.
Having worked on their racecars during the off-season and barely two rounds into the 2010 season, NASA members made the short trip out in droves. They were greeted with clear skies, great air and one of NASCAR’s speedway stops.
Time attack is a simple game of car and clock. The rules are fairly open, most of the front running cars can outrun Speed World Challenge GT cars, and the fastest lap of the day counts towards competition.
After the last two time attack events at Willow Springs International Raceway, two things have been bothering us – how can we make Project Evo IX faster and how can we do it without spending a lot of cash? By optimizing the car as much as we could
With a line-up of tuning parts and experience in both rally and road racing, Works has become one of the most well known Mitsubishi aftermarket companies.
Toyo sells other tires for those purposes that are both quieter and longer lasting. The R1R is an r-compound racing tire disguised as a DOT street tire. But if you’re interested in putting every last bit of power down to the ground or autocross in the SCCA’s Street Touring class, then please read on.
