The Devil JZ86

[pole drift]

are you gonna check the weight of d car wen its a bare shell or wen its fully built???

600hp in an 86 wont be much use to drift as you wont get grip!!!
Alan couldnt run his at 400 and had it turned down due to not being able to lay the power down!

Power to weight is measured on finished article so it'll be weighed on the dock road when its copletely finished. Must source som nice Bride's next...

This is savage. Some nice work going on. Would you not say that the power your aiming for is a bit of overkill? Youd need tyres at least twice as wide to put it on the ground!

Was thinking about that however I'm send the front wheels back to Image to increase them from 7.5" to 11" for the rear. I'll answer the power thing in reply to Mick.

I'll be running a Motec and will have two maps on the engine and no better man than Robbie to give me a max power map and a track suitable map, I'm building the car to suit myself fella so as I said its very early days yet, standard engine / turbo should be good for 400bhp but mine will be heavier than Alan's more than likely. Must ask him what weight his came in at actually...

Good call with the rear wheels! Id say the only way to make this car epic is to sit the engine right in beside you in the cabin, get as much weight on the back end as possible. What turbo are you thinking of running? Will lag not be an issue?

[Mick K]

Just I'd imagine it'll be very nose heavy and with the lack of weight in an 86 up the back I still doubt even 11j will keep enough contact with the tar!

That is the plan, I hav seen tuners use NOS to compensate for laggy builds to as to get it to the power band quicker and thats the only reason I'm including it along with running anti-lag the issue will hopefully be sorted...

Aye fella but its all trial and error with this build, believe me, can of worms is an understatement but the easy route wouldn't be half as much fun

Dont get me wrong,Following your wacky projects for years,
and I LOVE this one!
Just would hate for it to be overkill,Genuinely hope it works as its gonna blow any 86 in the world out of the water!
