Nissan's MR16DDT 1.6L Direct Injection Turbo Engine

by Eric Hsu

Nissan's exciting new MR16DDT engine has all of the features and stats that you would want in a kick ass engine. It also sounds like it may have what it takes to be Nissan and/or Renault's entry as the GRE (global race engine). Imagine seeing this engine in the back of an F1 car...

Sierra Sierra EVO Update & BorgWarner EFR Turbos

by Eric Hsu

The last test at Buttonwillow was the straw that broke the camel's back both for the choice of turbocharger and the cylinder head sealing issues. You can see the despair (and my head scratching) in the picture above, but with any down there's always going to be an up. BorgWarner with their EFR turbo lineup and Cosworth with our turbo race engine experience are coming to the rescue.

Images of broken turbos, fire damage, and other cool stuff are just inside.

WRC B-series Honda CRX, Part 2

by Eric Hsu

Elmo makes some more progress on his bad ass CRX. AP Racing monobloc calipers, Recaro Kevlar buckets, and other goodies make this CRX probably the most baller CRX around.

BNR32 Skyline GT-R Stage 1, Part 2

by Eric Hsu

The Stage 1 build of my personal BNR32 Skyline GT-R is a 500+whp, pump gas, street car designed for good throttle response and mid range torque for smokin cars on the street and track alike. Anyhow, this is part 2 of the Stage 1 build where I will break down in detail why I chose the parts I did.

By Eric Hsu

A fun video Tyler put together for shits and giggles. Hopefully Cosworth doesn't make us take it down. Benny Hill is making a comeback.

by Eric Hsu

This is part one of a short series about my trip to Australia back in May. I've already covered the World Time Attack so in this series I attempt to minimize the amount of car stuff and cover more about my short stay in the wonderful city of Sydney and the new friends I made there.

WRC B-series Honda CRX

by Eric Hsu

Of course it really isn't a WRC Honda CRX, but it's the next best thing: a Honda CRX built by a WRC fabricator. It could very well be the world's cleanest and most functional CRX cage. Just several pics of a very nicely built CRX located in the UK.

by Eric Hsu

Inside is a video of this year's Time Attack class winner: Jeff Zwart in a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car. I'm not the world's biggest Porsche Cup Car fan, but this video is pretty cool. Notice the steering angle in the picture above. Cool shit, huh?
