Podium & Heartbreak! Supercharged S2000s

Weekends like this sucks. On one hand, one car did really well and we should be happy, but on the other hand, the sister car was all sorts of messed up and wasted one of the best chances of the year after so much prep. We did our best, and leave Autobahn with our heads held high. 'Til next time, #GRIDLIFE!

Thanks for adding the pedal cam Jackie. I had asked about that a while back... i appreciate ya adding it like you said you would!! :D

[@Riknos]

So worth it to see JD's mad H&T skills and left foot braking! Driving god this guy

[@digi4780]

That was just, an amazing emotional rollercoaster. JD never disappoints

[@lavere]

I envy you two! Thanks for adding the pedal cam! I have an ap2 but honestly, don't have the courage to push nearly as hard as you do! Much respect to you

[@boostnboba7658]

Vibrant needs to hook you guys up with some v-bands couplers and put all these boost leak troubles to rest.

[@markbacani3762]

Damn, ever since the supercharger went on, that car has been pleading for its life. Definitely encourages me to stay N/A, but hope you get it all figured out man, we all need to see how fast you can go!

[@JackieDing86]

I wouldn’t say my car is PLEADING for its life, but it certainly has been a rough year...

[@krnt13]

It seems more like small mistakes here and there, most of them avoidable, most likely caused by the pressure and probably short amount of time to work in the car, good thing Jackie is strong and always keeps pushing forward.

[@TienTran-kw3il]

@@JackieDing86 upgraded pistons rods and valves time! Jk probably out of budjet

[@nickwild7]

When you go with forced induction that's not factory it turns into a lot of trial and error unless someone who's on a similar setup can help you shortcut past their mistakes as well.

[@Ryousure]

Yes and no. He just need a better tuner. That can work a strategy in the tune. Traction control, boost by gear or speed. So many options. Spinning ain't wining. No offense.

[@WishS2k1414]

Can't wait to see you race at road atlanta in a month and a half!

[@CubanDre]

The new car suspense is killin us softly!

[@JackieDing86]

Same

[@AJIMPORTS]

might be time to upgrade both cars with the Vibrant couplers. Weld them onto the throttle body and air to water intercooler. That should solve most of your blown coupler issues.

[@JackieDing86]

Might as well go Custom Air to Air Intercooler set up if we’re going that far...

[@AJIMPORTS]

@@JackieDing86 that's one opinion. I have two intercooler pipe on my build. Everything welded so less chance of failure.

[@TripSkyWalker]

Oh no not the wall! poor pika. You still got sec so its all good.

[@JackieDing86]

Thankfully damage is purely cosmetic and really pretty light....

[@TripSkyWalker]

Thats good. but still sucks

[@Ivart1985]

Spray hairspray on surfaces before installing silicone couplers, no problems then!

[@JackieDing86]

Will show off what we did next time, but it’s basically bulletproof at this point lol

[@Dethred1]

Or just use T-bolt clamps over bead rolled pipes. It'll hold just about anything.

[@SuperGlacierGirl]

Fiona, keep an eye on Jackie, I think he's purposely messing with your car as he's afraid you are going to beat his time. LOL!

[@JackieDing86]

I wish it was all my doing...

[@Ryousure]

For Fiona. She need stiffer motor mount. In order to not allow to much movement of the engine with the charger. So look in to vibrant metal coupler clamps

[@JackieDing86]

We already have Hasport for engine and Innovative for Trans mount on her car. This was simply caused by the BOV issue

[@joeynachanphasuk7002]

At 1.15 in the video , were you power shifting ?

[@Cegginz]

the good ole days, i know and u know u can do faster than 35 ;)

[@JackieDing86]

Yes the good old days when cars kept breaking lol

[@nickwild7]

Idk if you saw my comment from last time or someone else recommended them to you. But those hose clamps should hold a lot of boost no issues when seated right and clamped to the moon. Sucks fiona crashed but atleast she was a good sport about it and went back out

[@ItsJustCams]

It's all good bro, it's a rough slump. I'm more concerned about you dude. Get some more rest whenever you can. I focused on your reactions from the POV camera on your helmet and noticed it's VERY slight, but labored/tired looking. Like you've been up for 72 hours before you went racing. lol Do the most, just don't over cook it, ya know? Was it just the alternator that went? Because when you said that it wouldn't engage VTEC, whatever sound that was didn't sound too good at all. Hopefully everything will be fine, looking forward to running you all in Atlanta next month!

[@JackieDing86]

That week had been rough ha. The weekend before, we were tuning Fiona’s car, running around getting part, then drove through the night for the test day but her car broke again, add in school and her car breaking during the race too, I was running quite empty. Feeling pretty good now, batteries charged up, ready for what’s next.

[@djsonicc]

Great video. Hopefully just alternator went bad. Question: why don't you guys run some heavy duty T-bolt clamps on boost hoses?

[@JackieDing86]

I believe the reason was that the constant-torque clamps on the car was scientifically better and more suited for the job (don’t quote me on that), but we did end up replacing them with T-bolt clamps anyways .

[@PhilJue]

Hey Jackie, How do you mount your pedal cam? I have been looking to find a way to mount something in my footwell

[@JackieDing86]

I do a GoPro sticky mount right on the steering column panel, reinforced with duct tape ha

[@PhilJue]

@@JackieDing86 Duct tape and zip ties my man! Appreciate it! Just getting into time trials with SCCA and i'm loving every bit of it. Watching your videos is enlightening and helpful for apexes and etc

[@jonathanromero9026]

You had the ac on!!

[@JackieDing86]

Not AC, I had the heater on full blast trying to help with cooling

[@reashaunfarley4993]

What does he work doing ?

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

Can you do a episode of driving line?

[@JackieDing86]

That driving line driver battle? They’d need to invite me lol

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

@@JackieDing86 yes lol looks like it would be fun a track day no traffic and nt01's. No you leave a comment or contact on social media they always say at end of video

[@slidin86]

Did you ever dial out the high speed push? or do you just deal with it? Seems like its a constant characteristic of your car, but you balance it out so easily (at least on video) with throttle it makes me curious on what the actual "fix" would be... maybe less aggressive Jackie is the answer! JK, another great job hustling those S2s from both you and Fiona

[@JackieDing86]

I’m actually kinda happy with a little bit of high speed understeer. The S2K is already inherently a twitchy chassis, having the aero balance set up like this really helps generate confidence charging into those high speed corners and carrying momentum. Actual fix would be to add more front downforce, but we’re a little limited on that front, so what I did from Gingerman was to reduce the rear wing angle. It was a lot better here for sure, maybe I can still go a click or two less rear wing.

[@slidin86]

@@JackieDing86 I prefer slight inherent understeer myself as unsexy as that sounds so I see what you mean with carrying the speed, that makes sense. Doesn't look like you can sacrifice more rear lol, twitchy is an understatement but I'm comparing this to my FC with no rear bar since it keeps snapping end links

[@Kakeyoro]

Good job, Jackie. What did the power failure turn out to be?

[@JackieDing86]

I believe dead alternator, lead to dead battery then DBW throttle packed up and ECU was having trouble staying functional.

[@Kakeyoro]

That's amazing, literally watching a systematic failure. Started with the ABS then full send to entropy!!

[@TienTran-kw3il]

Is the new car jdm?

[@JackieDing86]

Can’t say ha

[@NIKECIRCA]

Whats ur gopro setup? And what mount do u use?

[@JackieDing86]

GoPro Hatclip Mount with session, onto helmet visor

[@kjduff22]

Do you wear driving shoes? What kind?

[@JackieDing86]

I used to but then I got lazy, also my racing shoes are quite a few years old by now ha

[@518135]

You need to weld a lip on the aftercooler like Rain H8R did so that it cant slip off. www.s2ki.com/g/picture/6356745

[@getlaidgatorade8165]

You guys should install the vibrant boost pipe clamps litteraly deminishes boost leak problems

100 degree F is normal in Malaysia lol

[@JackieDing86]

True

[@corradoracervwvrt8276]

well not really the same i can tell you. Temp might read the same but over here it's the humidity is so intense. Believe me. It's like...let's say one is heat coming from a firecamp and the other is like a heat coming from an oven!!

[@ahmadsalman5121]

@@corradoracervwvrt8276 yeah i know your point. i felt summer in japan humidity is low

[@truth4reel]

Why is this car so 'oversteery'. It surely would be faster if it was more planted.

[@JackieDing86]

I felt no problems with rear grip to be honest. It’s just a very sensitive car to drive and if you get things wrong it’ll be upset and oversteer.

[@frederickcook87]

I kinda thought the same thing, I love what Jackie is doing but it seems he’s always fighting the car. It’s as if his driving style and the S2000 don’t mix. Either way keep pushing forward young Man 👍🏾

[@NSX.R]

There are nothing wrong with the car or Jackie's driving style. The S2K has been well known for its sensitivity/snappiness requiring a very attentive driver, even in normal daily operations. With Jackie driving it on the limit practically every turn, of course it appears to slide everywhere. For the average joe, he would've crashed 50 times already. As for it being in the rain, it is 100 times scarier, even in day to day driving on the streets, hence I tend to stay away from the rain with mine. Go watch Jackie's other video racing in the rain, he's the only one I've seen that could control the S2K so amazingly on wet surface. Even Fiona couldn't avoid a crash after freshly completed the drift course.

[@Nishaan24]

What’s the spring rates on this?

[@pswmetalmonkey]

Whole new car? really? after all the dev work and knowledge gained with the S2K, just throw it away?, you would think you just spend some money and work on aero and better reliability. Unless of course i take it you have rich parents and money isnt an issue.

[@colecampagna6302]

Screw drifting videos!

[@JackieDing86]

ok

[@colecampagna6302]

Jackie Ding (thank you for not drifting)

[@JackieDing86]

Apologies in advance because we’ll do some more drifting soon lol, it’s great practice

[@colecampagna6302]

Jackie Ding haha well if that makes you a better driver on track than I support it! I just find grip driving much more interesting than drifting personally.
