Daigo joins ASD and takes JTP's Mustang? or they build him a new one? It could happen.

Im pretty sure diagos brian crower stroked 3.4 has been the same engine for the whole season. Not bad for 1138 whpComment

Same with Robbies engine but he isn't making as much power, only ~ 850 whp
Must be that neo synthetic sizzurp
I still think v8's have the advantage if you can afFORD it.
Now that the seasons over I think it would be cool to see Daigo in an american car. I mean what better way than to compete with the other drivers with similar cars.Last edited by vvtisupra; 10-15-2012, 08:59 AM.Comment

No way. Tell him to bring over that IS340 from FD Asia. I would say the JZX100 but that just wouldn't be fair competition.

or how about a 2jz 1200 hp rocket bunny frs haha.
its kinda of cool that its been 4 years since the last winner of Formula D did not have a V8Comment

hahah running a 235 tire wouldn't work very well daigo would probably have so much wheel speed the tires wouldn't last more than one pass.Originally posted by my 1 88 u View PostComment

I'm not sure what I hate more - too many people still sweating the 2JZ or too many people running V8's.
Can I pick choice C) Neither?Comment

id like to see him come out and win it in a 400rwhp anything. then we can have the "you need big hp to drift" problem solved for new drivers.
(400 is still big I think, but in the pro's, its the bottom of the barrel)Comment

Tell that to the likes of some of todays drifters, the grassroots ones stay traditional where as others go for a more more cylinders, look at vaugh, frosberg, dai, and a few others that do driftin. The are all v8 @chapinnnn, there others that do either the 7m, 1jz, 2jz, rb20, rb25, 2b26, 13b, 20b, ca18 sr20 and even 4afe and the ka. Hence I WIN!

Lets put it this way. If you're lazy, broke as *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* and you're chasing power with Pennies. V8. If you're humble, willing to pay the cost to be a boss, want a unique sounding car, want to be able to Drift more than red necks can and be more universal Whist getting the attention of girls, noobs and have a sausage fest every time you pop your hood. 2JZ IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE

The size of a motor has nothing to do with drifting, how is this even a question?
therealnap0le0n about 17 hours ago
@lilwreck1 yea because lsx motor swaps are cheap, oh that is right they also don't make power either..... oh damn a vh45 with itb is super affordable too. 1UZ-FE motor swaps aren't sexy either? 2jz #dickrider

lilwreck1 about 16 hours ago
@therealnap0le0n then ride it then, VH, VK, Y (Nissan), UR, UZ, V (Toyota), 8A8 (Mitsu), M60, M62, S62 (BMW), M119, M113 (Merc) Aren't being used and when they are they gain respect as seen fit. So don't talk out ya *Censored**Censored**Censored* lil Hommie. Crappy *Censored**Censored**Censored* LS motors and a few fresh out the crate alongside 5.0 engines are what's being swapped. *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* there's a car that's running a junkyard find Tahoe V8 with about 85k on it that was just swap and go to keep cost low so I know what I'm saying. And when it comes to power V8s are pretty much maxed on what they can do, boosted motors can handle way more than what they start out with stock. #JustSaying @synster @a33_max thx.
lilwreck1 about 16 hours ago
@tytydelz then next year he shouldn't crash then. Common sense should've told him to stay alert on that transition. I mean it was only taking hostages....... Lemmi see...... ALL NIGHT! Watch all Daigo's runs carefully and you'll see he was very cautious when approaching that section of the track

@lilwreck1 I was pertaining to the fact JR has a v8 yet he was still doing very well in his car before he crashed and the v8 would have won formula drift
lilwreck1 about 12 hours ago
Oh yeah. I give you that. But in all honesty I don't count JTP, and JR. Mustangs come V8 factory. So they get a G pass.

Hello,
Though I'd jump in here since we were the ones that built Robbie's 2j and know a little first hand info on Daigo's set-up... Both motor are similar and have made it through the season without any major issues. Robbie's motor last time on the dyno made @ 850 whp and 780 tq @ 30lbs without NOS. We use a small amount of NOS during the events to help with spool-up.
JTP's and JR's motors are from Roush Yates making close to the same power the main difference here is cost. The cost to build a 2j to make this kind of power can range but a fair estimate is roughly 15k - 20k the cost for JTP's motor is more like 80k. You can find these motors in off-road and GT road racing and are race proven.
Most of the LS platform motors in the field are in the @ 500 whp with a few like Tyler's and Dai's making more
and cost in the area of 15k -25k.
Bottom line it takes more then just a motor to get the job done. This sport is great because it's a balance of power, traction, and driver. Whatever motor you plan on running the most important thing is longevity.
CheersComment
