Money. No matter how much we have, no one likes to or wants to waste it. A motorsport application will cost precisely the amount you budget for it, plus some more. In this interview, some tips are discussed on how to trade a bit of your time to make better decisions for your build and your wallet, even if you don't intend to do all the physical work yourself.
Running Nitto 2.2L stroker kit, Kelfod Cams, and ARP head studs to make around 500kw at 2.2 bar (670hp, 32psi), this RevZone built 4g63 powered EVO 7 Open Class Time Attack build is a constant work in progress for Darren Bishop, but not just in the way most people immediately think when it comes to simply adding more and more power.
At the World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC), Darren shared valuable insights into developing his time attack EVO. The knowledge base build to undertake this project has included using High Performance Academy (HPA) course materials, engaging in practical work, and consulting with specialists on their own level.
Using quality electronics like the EMtron KV8 ECU, MoTeC C127 dash, and Power Distribution Module (PDM), alongside a comprehensive array of engine and chassis sensors, Darren, with the help of Benchmark Solutions trackside dial in the car from multiple angles over the race weekend. This process involves adapting to the specific demands of each race weekend, including track layout (working to perfect every braking zone and corner), weather conditions (temperatures heavily influence tyre pressure, engine settings and traction control), and the unique preferences of both the car and driver discovered only by plenty of seat time, ensuring a solid performance between Darren's driving capabilities and the vehicle's technical setup.
Darren narrowly got squeezed out of the top 5, finishing with a respectable 6th place in the Open Class with a 1:30.3870 only JUSTTT off the pace of the 1:29.9110 set by the 5th place finisher.

It's your entry into the corner thats letting you down 👏 Stop thinking corner, think radias

[@shane49520]

that engine bay photo @3:23 is so immaculate, i dream of getting my evo 7 engine bay to look like that

[@user-gm6fv3uk9b]

Great vid Gents. Interesting hearing how the 4wd is controlled and how they operate it similer to how Nissan ATESSA works. I also wasnt aware evos drove the front predominantly. Learn something every day!

[@TotoGeenen]

Pretty modest on the boost level. 33-34 pounds 💀💀 It's crazy how far ICEs have come

[@dhrida5518]

The springs seem to be too stiff or maybe rebound is too slow, amazing to know what can be tuned and to what extent, with all that data he could even have active aero, amazing car!

[@TheJensss]

If more people had started using open source electronics in their car like the RusEFI, the open source options would have been much better and the cost way lower. Lower cost on components means that more people can afford racing and building cars. Personally I also hope AI can be helpful with tasks like tuning in the future for better and easier tuning which results in saving reducing even more cost.

[@AshLongie]

Makes me wanna do it lol or be part of someone doing would love to give it a go

[@Trinibadman96]

After watching Andre with Evos for over a decade I would be looking at him giddy just like that in an interview with my evo that he literally helped me build lol

[@mingscustoms]

This is a great video

[@hpa101]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the comment - Taz.

[@thexpression27]

Would love to hear more details about this great car. You sadly cant find any additional info on the build on his insta...

[@hpa101]

Pop some questions up and Darren might spot your comment at some stage 😎 - Taz.

[@MrDriftaX]

That bloke borrowed a radiator and fan setup from me back yrs ago Smashed it up and never replaced the loaned parts

[@thexpression27]

sorry to hear that he seems like a very kind guy maybe it was a misunderstanding:D

[@wrighty338]

He was just waiting to finish HPA's motorsport design and fabrication course so he can knock you up a replacement at last ey😀

[@MrDriftaX]

This was back in his drifting days We both where sponsored by the same guy with engine builds

[@Dr_Xyzt]

The gears in that gearbox had an interesting appearance. Was that display piece decorated, or was it some sort of surface treatment?

[@neversettle7666]

It looks like shot peening, possibly WPC treatment. I'm sure if you emailed Hollinger they would divulge details 👍

[@Dr_Xyzt]

@@neversettle7666 I think you're right. Probably with ceramic beads. I've been having parts vapor blasted pretty often these days, and Saint Gobain, where I get my blast media, has wet peening media available.

[@giacatollo]

5:35 HP Academy needs a course on selecting correct hose clamps. Those tails looks angry.

[@kynanlol]

if it works it works

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Get T-bolts. Thank me later.
