JDDA final at 仙台 Sendai (sunday)

JDDA final at 仙台 Sendai

Here are some photo updates, first day we had alot of rain, so there was no action on the saturday (used as shakedown time) So back to Onsen (ryokan) that was about 15min drive from Sendai. Quick onsen then off to Sendai city (30min drive). Cameback, ate then went to the outside onsen (water heated by natural means) temp was around 45degrees, few of the guys from Escort and Promodet joined, few beers then of too sleep, here are the photos I took on saturday. (more tomorrow)

Yello car here was running a very serious engine, and was a consistant 9sec car

Tcraft R32 gtr is in the 8sec class, yet as far as I know have yet to run an 8sec pass...they always rev the engine hard at the start line, but always seem to bog off which put them in the high 9sec catagories, however its a very serious car, just need some more time in the seat.

Like the lip on this R32 GTR, its a 9sec class car, that is driven on the streets.

Nice to see a few of the older cars coming out to play, this 3.1ltr L series engine was turbocharged, and running in the 10sec class.

Promodet`s drag porsche. full pipe frame chassi, with 3.6ltr NA engine in the front!!! Had some issues on the day and was making uneven contact with the wheelie bars which was sending the car off slightly at launch. Should be good for high 8s, Owner / driver told me his previous car was 911 turbo that ran high 9s.

This GT-S was street / drag tuned. RB27 engine (stroked RB25)

Always had a thing for the GTI-R, and this car was running low 11s, even managed a dryhop without breaking the transmission, after I checked the video (i recorded at 600fps) I could see that the 4wd system was almost all at the front wheels, which I was surprised to see.

Bikes, I no nothing about them, I don`t even know how to change gear.....but what I do know is the below machine is very impressive, 250hp turbo...8sec street bike, not for the feint hearted, he told me he is only 65kg, so even with the low boost he is running, he doesnt have enough body weight to keep the front end down and he is loosing time, he said gaijins are better are drag bikes because they are heavier (when not using a wheelie bar) so can launch harder and run more power.

Feint remains of a sticker here on this proven 7sec drag cars bonnet.....

Grandslam option R32 GTR was running low 9sec passes.

Target 8sec GTR, had a new face (frp) and also running well in the 8sec class.



180sx from Garage Saurus was in 10sec class, still a far cry from Texmodify, which was one of the best cars on the day.

Very nice car,

Garage Ito R33 GT-S later gets some air, suspension is perfect on the car, launch is perfect and very consistant.



Below car is 10,000cc V8, had the best engine on the day, and was perhaps the cleanest car there. He had nos too, and around 1100hp under his right foot. It was also the loudest car on the day.

Duke R33 GTR, had a sticker for the headlight, not sure thr reason but looked pretty cool.





Also one of the loudest cars on the day, side exit muffler and the sound of a brigeported rotary hurt my ears.

update on Project carlo, lots of photos

Full head shots, head is now almost finished, copper valve guides are installed, combustion chamber room is processed, head water lines are processed and head is skimmed. extra 4cc capacity was gained from the head processing. COmbustion chamber was then polished.










Sugino san working on the head, enlarging the ports.



Brand new type super highflow HKS oil pump is going to be used, its larger than the Tomei oilpump, so we marked the bolts, took apart and inspected to make sure everything was ok. Then back in the bag and sealed up, will be on the engine very soon.



New N1 waterpump is installed



Bottom end with piston conrods and crank installed



Pistons are recessed to allow higher lift

Piston and conrods checked and balanced


Tomei semi counter crank sitting in nice

Project Carlo Begins

For the last 12months we we have been helping a customer with planning his new 2.8ltr RB26 engine 77.7mm stroke x 87mm bore setup. After many conversations what your about to see is the start of a full tune RB26 with tomei 2.8ltr engine base.

Today finally the Tomei parts arrived, we finally opend the box containing a brand new N1 block. The blocks 86mm bore means the 87mm are too large to fit, so they are sent away to be professionally fitted by our friends shop.

87mm pistons

H-beam conrods hold everything together, and they will be working pretty hard on this setup, as the engine when finished will be making OVER 800hp.



Tomei 77.7mm crankshaft photos, enjoy

R35 GTR ROM by Endless-R

We have released our ROM boost up ECU for the R35 GTR. Have a look at the commercial below, torque of the R35 GTR was simply amazing....Muffler was a cat back titanium system, not too noisy really compaired to some of the other systems available.

Endless-R Drag R32 GTR to be sold cheap...

Yes selling the beast, to fund a new circuit demo car called 悪魔-R....more about that later.

For now this is forsale. Have a look, and its a steal at Yen: 4,900,000 shipped

Car runs 1.7 to 2.0bar boost, has put down 800ps+ with wheel spin (RWD power check) Car weight is circa 1200kg, (lightest car we have ever built) T88-38gk can make 1050ps, so this car has that potential. Ran a shakedown time of 9.4 on low boost...(cold day no track bite) so almost certain it will pull an 8sec run right track and weather permitting and 2.0bar boost.

New look at Garrett Turbo Maps Vs Holset turbo maps

Sorry for the long delay in Updates, few things have happened since the last one.

*Gotou san won another GTR 9sec class battle, so well done Goto san (he ran 9.3 in a day that saw temps over 35degrees.
*Endless-R new 600R ECU map is released (600hp for R35 GTR) Price coming with more information and dyno sheet.
*We are waiting on the new manifold 36mm to arrive, then we will test and sales will start.

Few interesting images here, Holset compressor maps vs Garrett with RB26 data thrown in. Its all about matching a compressor to your requirements.

Endless-r have developed new brakes for R32/33/34

For the last 3 months, we have been developing a brake kit for the R32/33 and r34 GTR. Brake kit was tested for 3 hours in an R32 GTR weighing 1400kg, and running a boost up engine. Front we tested the 6potx355mm disc with normal street pads (race pads are available) and on the rear we use the 4 pot 330mm discs. 8pots are available with 380mm discs, they have been test fitted and cleared 18" TE37, but other wheels, we struggled to fit.
Braking was very srtong, and we couldnt make them catch fire at all (Sugino san was driving hard as he was pitted against Houdatchi in his new circuit Silvia. Power to weight of the cars was around the same, but Sugino san eventially took Houdatchi due to the ability of our braking him (Houdatchi running normal brakes)






I used photoshop to show the disc cooling after the last lap, you can see both the cooling properties at the outside of the disc.

Prices will be available online very soon, and customers can choose their own colour for the kits (any paint colour)

Sad day for the Tuning Industry in Japan

One of our close Tuning shop friends has passed away, I know a few of you will be familiar with the RH9 shop Fuji Dynamics. Today we were told sadly that Fuji San had passed away after a long battle with Cancer. May you rest in piece.

RB26 Dry carbon cam covers.

First glimpse of our dry carbon covered camcover set for the RB26. The dry carbon is added to the aluminum covers after cleaning, for thoes of you who are running top mounted turbos, its advised you heat wrap your manifold + add turbo jackets...failing that at least add a heat shield :) as the carbon is tested until 150degrees. Low mount turbo guys, no problem. These parts are a special cosmetic finish to thoes who are looking to complete their engine bay.


Prices are in 2 forms, if you send us your engine cover set, price is Yen: 145,000 posted back to you via EMS.
If you need to drive your car, and want to buy just a new set (so you will end up with 2 sets) the cost is Yen: 190,000 posted to you via EMS
