So I ended up blowing my T28 because of heavy use and drifting at 0.9 bar boost. Here it is after the smoke cleared from the burning oil on it's last drift night:

Then bought a nice new Garrett GT2871R:
Image

And fitted with some temporary piping setup until I get a different intercooler setup which will be either a FMIC or V-Mount Intercooler setup:
Image
Image

Now I am on the hunt for a good priced Nistune system so that I can map the car and go drifting again!

Ok so I was asked last minute to get my car on display for womans day at killarney so we worked till 3am (same day of event) to get the kit presentable:

Not perfect but presentable enough (It is going to get redone properly):
Image
Image
Image

Then at the show (hadn't been mapped so I limped it to the track and back):
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

After the day I decided that the colour scheme it has now is how it is going to be when it get's the full make over! The flat black suits the wheels and sign writing so well!

Oh and the Nistune is fitted and mapped :D
Image

Such an awesome system. When I am comfortable with mapping it then I will offer mapping and supply of Nistune in SA.

So car is tuned with a rough map at 0.8 bar and is running so much better. More power than the 1 bar I was running with the standard turbo. Next is 740cc injectors, FMIC and Z32 AFM. With 1.5 BAR I should be looking at 400BHP which is ideal and where I need to be.

I knuckled down recently and decided that's it, I'm now going to take my drifting to the next level and really go out and achieve what I wanted. So I put a proposal together and sent it out to a few companies.....

I am excited to say that I am now sponsored by Liqui-Moly:
Image
Image

You will see me up north competing in Super Drift next year for sure, just need a tyre sponsor now!

And here is our first outing with Liqui-Moly at Sunday's Killarney SA Hot Rod Day:
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

The car with it's extra power allowed me to link the entire oval in 3rd over and over again, which made me smile as I am deffinately going in the right direction!

I am also now doing drift exhibitions with Drift Squad, its good to entertain crowds in drifting as that is what makes the sport!

I would like to thank all that have helped me get this far, and will help me get to Super Drift next year! These are in no particular order Liqui-Moly, GT Graphics, Dragon Customs, Redline Racing & ROTA SA.
