Have a nice day

Nothing says drifting more than riding the wall, smashing your bumper off and riding away like nothing happened as well as having the urge to keep on ...

the working principles of diesel engines -video

This animation describes the working principles of diesel engines in the context of an inline-four engine that operates in a four-stroke mode. This kind of engine has four cylinders mounted in a straight line.

Unlike the typical Otto-cycle engine, a diesel engine takes in only air through the intake valves during the 1st stroke. 

During the 2nd stroke, the intake valves are closed and the air is compressed. As the air is highly compressed in the cylinder, the temperature of the air rises and reaches almost 1300 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the 3rd stroke, diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder. The fuel instantly ignites because of the high temperature of the air. The explosion pushes the piston down, which transfers power to the crankshaft.

The 4th stroke is the process where the spent fuel-air mixture exits through the open exhaust valves and the stroke cycle is repeated again.

A big advantage of diesel engines is that they typically deliver 25-30 % better fuel economy than similarly performing gasoline engines.

16v 4A-GE ...a legend!

Today we talk about an engine used on many popular cars (AE86 Sprinter Trueno ,Corolla Levin, AA63 Celica , AW11 MR2)

The A Series engines are a family of inline-four internal combustion engines with displacement from 1.3 L to 1.8 L produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. The series has cast iron engine blocks and aluminum cylinder heads.

In the picture bellow you can see a turbocharged 4A-GE (16-valve) engine. The reliability and performance of this engine has earned them a fair number of enthusiasts and a fan base as they are a popular choice for an engine swap into other Toyota cars such as the KE70 and KP61. Production of the various models of this version lasted for five generations, from May 1983 through 1991 for 16-valve versions and the 20-valve 4A-GE lasting through 1998.

Engine displacement: 1.6 L (1,587 cc)

Layout: DOHC Inline-4 (Straight-4)

Bore and Stroke: 81 mm × 77 mm

Dry Weight (with T50 gearbox): 154 kg (340 lb)

Valves: 16, 4 per each cylinder

Power: 115–128 hp (86–95 kW) at 6,600 rpm

Torque: 148 N·m (109 lb·ft) at 5,800 rpm

Redline: 7,600 rpm

Fuel Delivery System: MPFI

Downtown Los Angeles action!

"Fredric Aasbo is set to drop an attack on Downtown Los Angeles with his Scion tC! The video was shot a while back and we hear it will be released next week to the public. We cannot wait to see Aasbo drifting around Los Angeles in what we imagine will be a well put together video. We were lucky enough to score this leaked image from production of the film. We hear Aasbo takes on the LA River and the 6th Street Bridge."

Bmw straight six M50

  Today we talk about one of the most used BMW engine for drifting (In the pic below you can see a beetle with M50B25)

  The BMW M50 is a straight-6 DOHC piston engine which replaced the BMW M20 and was produced from 1990 to 1996.(M50Bxx -> xx means the size)

Compared with its M20 predecessor, the M50 features twin camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder. The   M50 uses an iron block with an alloy head.

In September 1992, the M50 was upgraded to the M50TU ("technical update"), which added variable valve timing (called VANOS by BMW)

  Also If you wonder what engine uses the M3 E36 ,here is the answer: S50

The S50 is higher performance version of the M50 which was used in the M3. Like the M50, it has an iron block and aluminum head with four valves per cylinder.

Upgrades over the M50 include:

Individual throttle plates for each cylinder

Continuously variable "Vanos" valve timing.

Lightweight pistons

Graphite-coated conrods

Larger inlet valves

Redesigned equal length exhaust manifolds

RB engines

  

The RB engine is a 2.0–3.0 L straight-6 four-stroke petrol/gasoline engine from Nissan produced from 1985-2004.

  Both SOHC and DOHC versions have an aluminium head. The SOHC versions have 2 valves per cylinder and the DOHC versions have 4 valves per cylinder; all cam lobes move only one valve. All RB engines have belt-driven cams and a cast iron block. Most turbo models have an intercooled turbo (the exceptions being the single cam RB20ET & RB30ET engines), and most have a recirculating factory blow off valve (the exceptions being when fitted to Laurels and Cefiros) to reduce compressor surge when the throttle quickly closes. The Nissan RB Engine is derived from the six cylinder Nissan L20A engine which has the same bore and stroke as the RB20. All RB engines were made in Yokohama, Japan where the new VR38DETT is now made. Some RB engines were rebuilt by Nissan's NISMO division at the Omori Factory in Tokyo as well. All Z-Tune Skylines were completely rebuilt at the Omori Factory.

RB20 - 2.0 L (1998 cc, bore: 78.0 mm, stroke: 69.7 mm)

RB24 - 2.4 L (2428 cc, bore: 86.0 mm, stroke: 69.7 mm)

RB25 - 2.5 L (2498 cc, bore: 86.0 mm, stroke: 71.7 mm)

RB26 - 2.6 L (2568 cc, bore: 86.0 mm, stroke: 73.7 mm)

RB30 - 3.0 L (2962 cc, bore: 86.0 mm, stroke: 85.0 mm)

"D" indicates a dual overhead cam as opposed to a single overhead cam

"E" indicates the individual engine ports are electronically fuel-injected

Gabi Imre and his turbocharge V8 beast!

 Today I have something amazing for you guys! This is a turbocharged V8 BMW E30! It's very modified and the dirver is an amazing guy ,Gabi Imre . He started to drift in 2011 .After only one year he managed to finish 4th . In 2013 he upgraded the car with a turbo.
 Gaby says his main goal is to improve an aggressive driving style and another project! another turbocharged Bmw (this time an track day E36)

Børning ,the best racing movie in 2014 comes from norway

 One of the best car movies this is year is from Norway, and it's named "Børning" . it's a comedy in the old style of "The cannonball Run" (1981) ,which means an illegal race through the length of Norway. The cars are amazing, and we can also see some drifting with a toyota GT86 and a BMW M3 E92. Enjoy ! And I hope you can see the movie with english subtitles (or maybe in you main language,why not? :D)

IMDB rating :6,8

"Roy is mad about cars, and runs Stallion Parts while attending to his yellow Mustang, far away from his daughter, which comes on holiday, while he is to attend a race. Soon he is challenged in a illegal race through the length of Norway."

How to build a drift cat -part 2 (budget)

  "Now dealing with your budget is the second most important factor in buying your car. Budget is secondary to taste only because we're in America and you can finance just about anything here. So get the car you want, but here's the trick, budget gets even more important after you purchase your vehicle.
  Picture this scenario: You've gathered your life savings, borrowed from your mom, sold your comic book collection on Ebay, and told the plasma donor center to suck you dry. Now, with your $15,000 you're finally able to purchase the drift car of your dreams, a 1997 Lexus SC300. So you get the car, you get home, and you call up your favorite tuning shop Drifters R Us to order some parts. Too bad you didn't do enough research into parts and balancing your budget. With the $350 you earn each week, it's going to take you about 4 months to buy the 19 inch Speed Star Racing wheels that you want. And that's only if you save every single penny after your regular living expenses. This is kind of an extreme example, but you see what we mean. When budgeting for a drift car purchase, you have to look into:

1. The cost of the vehicle. Can you afford the vehicle with your current income and will you be able to still afford the car should anything happen to affect your income?

2. Cost of insurance / registration. Newer vehicles are going to cost more to insure / register. But older cars may have the added expense of repairing for smog inspection (depending on location).


3. The cst and availability of aftermarket parts support. Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86) 4AGE engines enjoy wide aftermarket support. You'll find lots of parts available, and lots of people knowledgeable about the 4AGE because the engine is, and always was, available in America. If you choose a rare car, you'll have a significantly more difficult time to find the parts you need or you'll have to pay a premium for them. Before buying a drift car, start building up a wish list for parts you'd like for your prospective vehicle and find out how much they cost. Once you've determined your wish list and prioritized the list, you can see if your income can support the purchase and installation of aftermarket parts on your prospective vehicle. In other words, if you can't afford 19 inch tires on a regular basis, you'd better stick with smaller vehicles that can look good with smaller wheels.

4. The cost / availability of general upkeep and maintenance. Example: having a 240sx with an SR20 motor swap is cool, but your local Napa Auto Parts doesn't carry SR20 DET head gaskets. This could be a major or minor problem, depending on where you live and what kind of connections you have. Depending on how old your car is, and how frequently you plan on drifting, you should start building up a contingency budget for repairs, emergencies, etc. for your vehicle. If you start keeping repair money on the side for a rainy day, you'll be glad when you need that expensive part so you can get to work on Monday."
