Exactly

Fair play Darren, keep pushing the bar, drift world has gotten to comfortable with their JZ's, nice to see something completely mad and out there.

[@Busta-mb8kw]

“Its been great revving you but your fucked” epic line, you certainly tried with that dart block, loving the evolution of the car and vids, appreciate you making them in your hectic schedule 👍🏻

[@Group-D]

Thank you. Will try to keep the updates coming

[@thomasdaly7193]

This is pretty cool! Can't wait to see everything all paxkaged together! Look forward to the updates to come! Thanks!!

[@Group-D]

Us too!

[@meenishal]

….a sniff of boost…. Love it. 😂

[@Group-D]

Ya a sniff will make 1000hp

[@Kevin_Lehane]

Every great idea stems from a stupid one. I Love it!! Keep up the good content.

[@Group-D]

Very true

[@joegallagher5885]

The symmetric turbos are so good. Love it 👍🏼

[@Group-D]

They have to be symmetrical

[@upurkilt7246]

"A sniff of boost".....mare like a waft of wind 😂......love whete this is going lad 👍

up to 10psi is a sniff lol

Roof scoop similar to Keski-Korpis car has ? seems to be working quite nicely for him.

[@Group-D]

Cant say im familiar with his. most of my inspiration comes from Group B

[@TuomoLahtinen]

If you get that thing to work on drifting with that much lag, is a win in itself

[@Group-D]

I dont think we will have that much lag...

[@eamonngeary8256]

Can't wait to see her in action. Isn't lauri heinonens car NA?

[@florian_montuzet]

It was yes. Since 2023 it's supercharged.

[@Group-D]

Thank you. Lauri's car is supercharged and that kinda coincides with his competitiveness

[@KaasariKeijo]

@@florian_montuzet That Vortech supercharger works quite nicely with R5P7 revving 9000 rpm 😎

[@texaspowerman]

They developed a world class tire, so you develop a world class engine package to take advantage of it.

[@Group-D]

That is the plan

[@darrenlsagts996]

Can’t wait to see looks mad but when you going too do video on that white M3 that’s always in the back round really want too see it 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Group-D]

Thanks, Wont be doing a vid on the M3 its a customer car

[@GH-vq7ig]

you're a wizard!!

[@Group-D]

Like wizards sleeve...

[@GH-vq7ig]

@@Group-DNo 😂 😂...mechanical/engineering

[@texaspowerman]

Mental doesn’t even do it justice. Too bad you can’t use a bit of nitrous to get it into boost quicker. It might be worth while to plumb it in for times when it’s available. Just a 50 shot to get it to spool.

[@Group-D]

By the time this is fully developed then i will be happy with the boost threshold. There should be no need for NOS

[@texaspowerman]

@@Group-D we used a used Porsche variable turbo with good success. It adjusted down to spool quickly then opened up to provide the volume we needed. Overly complicated for track use though.

[@StavTech]

Mint ❤ It’s like the stupid mid and rear mount turbo V8 Mercedes’ I’ve built over the years, just with actual money spent on it. Love it!

[@Group-D]

Similar but different lol

[@justdave100]

Always loved this car. Excited to see the next evolution of it.

[@Group-D]

Thank you we are excited also

[@JKRmsrt]

I cannot wait to hear the judges go wtf is that...

Unreal Darren 👌

[@cedricmunoz9686]

There the french Champion pilot, Alex François who run a rear mounted turbo on his gt86. The piping was made by Pepinox, a french fabricator. Alex was not succesfull in drifmaster but he never complain about the added turbo lag.

[@Group-D]

Does he have the turbo in the front now?

[@conorkelly8]

Great video Darren. Keep them coming 👌

Thanks will try

[@711motorsport6]

Love how you constantly push the boundaries of what's possible. If anyone can pull off this setup it's definitely you. Can't wait to hear this thing scream. ❤

[@Group-D]

Thank you very much. Gonna be an interesting one

[@patchlife2003]

Having seen the car on Monday Darren it's amazing machine you have created. 10/10 top level can't wait to see it completed

[@Group-D]

Thanks 👍hopefully comes together quickly

[@eoinkelleher5151]

Fair play Darren. Pushing the boundaries of everyone’s imagination and evolving drifting as always. Best of luck, can’t wait to see it Finnish.

[@Group-D]

Thank you very much

[@FrankFlatOut]

Love this. Excited to see the finished product. Keep pumping out these videos.

Thanks! Will do!

[@chriswatkins323]

Love it Darren it sounds so so nuts keep going amazing 👍

[@Group-D]

Thanks! Will do!

[@cornishmafia4]

Also... could you feed the waste gates through the lower tailgate onto a rear valence... as much downforce to you need to keep the ass end squatting??

[@Group-D]

The wastegates are under the turbos and dump before the subframe. It impossible to generate under car downforce on these cars as the rear is just a tube fame with no panels behind the rear wheels. If you did panel the rear they would be ripped off in no time and make the quick servicing of the car a pain. Also the cars run at too much angle to try to work the floor aero wise

[@cornishmafia4]

Fair one, I get what you're saying about the easy access bit etc, I can relate to your driving style! What about a simple set up like an old car spoiler upside down or a bit of sheet metal with some swages for strength and bolted across the rear underneath. Or fixed to any lower tubes frame. Your one of the og Irish drifters and a falken driver in fd, I've done bangers, rods and grass roots drifting so don't know f**k all but always try and think outside of the rules box!! Can't wait to see her on track again, your builds are next level. Do you want to finish my nova?! Time attack with all your imagination would look epic!

[@cornishmafia4]

Did you check out max racing with Dave and Josh? (Drift games) their comp cars got a rear defuser under the rear. Funny, that's exactly what I was talking about.

[@Group-D]

@@cornishmafia4 Yes i seen the diffuser not sue if its just for aesthetics

Bat $h!t crazy, I love it

Thank you

[@jamiethompson5288]

Just when you through it couldn’t get much better. Can’t wait to see it evolve again, your old block would look great as a coffee table in my living room😉

[@Group-D]

Would be one dear coffee table....

[@leefarrell8734]

Savage, after chatting to you and having a good look around when this was freshly built with the 2j I didn’t think there was much more you could have done! Ohh how wrong was I! 😂 Can’t wait for a snoop around this thing and see all the little details! Mega build!

[@Group-D]

Thank you. She has had a lot of changes since the 2J days

[@florian_montuzet]

Does the new weight distribution will make it better ? Can't wait to see it in action.

[@Group-D]

We will be aiming for more nose weight for the very grippy tyres as rear grip is much easier to make with the tyre
