Yokohama Australia just released the video of Tarzan's fastest lap at the World Time Attack Challenge 2011 this past August at Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney, Australia. Video of Tarzan's record setting lap after the jump.

Lately I have been searching for information about "water to air intercoolers." I have seen these in some of your articles but not much information is mentioned.

Now that the dust has settled from WTAC 2011 itself and the thrashing to prepare in the weeks prior to the event, I'm going to attempt to do an overview of the 10 fastest cars @ WTAC 2011. It seems there was plenty of coverage of the event and the cars on sites, blogs, picture hosting sites, etc. but nowhere could I find a summary of the 10 fastest cars in one place. Looking to build or bring a car to the WTAC 2012 Pro class? Look no further because this is your guide to your competition.

The Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) 2011 was a massive success for the promoters, competitors, fans, sponsors, and vendors alike. Ian, Nathan, Kyle, the announcers, and the volunteers who all make up the World Time Attack Challenge and Superlap Australia successfully put on the best damn Time Attack event anywhere in the world to date! But there were some controversies and I attempt to clear them up here.

The World Time Attack Challenge is coming up pretty fast next week on August 5 and 6. There have been some changes made to the EVO since winning the 2010 Source Interlink Superlap Battle final at Buttonwillow, but we've been pretty quiet about updates mostly because we've all been pretty busy concentrating on other things. Mike, Jet, Richard, and Ron have been able to squeeze in some work between the Ferrari races and I've been able to get up to Sierra Sierra a couple times for some engine testing in between my 900 other tasks and travels. The results are pretty cool I think considering what little time we've been able to spend on the EVO. Will the changes be enough to fend off the new domestic Australian and Japanese competitors? I sure as hell hope so. Pictures are inside after the jump.

The USA's biggest meet of Mitsubishi cars in North America was this past Saturday. There were plenty of vendors, plenty of people, and of course Mitsubishis galore. The good thing about MOD 2011 is that there were plenty of modified cars which I thought resulted in the best MOD to date. Compared to say for example, MOD 2007, there were far less rows of stock Mitsubishis. Pictures inside.

When we last left our project we had just installed some Cosworth M2 cams and had tuned around that with excellent results. Some time ago we had installed an AEM water injection system and warning monitor system and had been running the water, mostly just for thermal control when running hard. We knew to get best results we would have to tune our ECU to take advantage of the detonation suppression capabilities of water and to nullify the water's quenching properties which reduce power.

For our next round of tweaks, we obtained a set of Cosworth M2 cams for the MIVEC variable cam timing version of the 4G63 found in our EVO IX. Camshaft design is very tricky with many of the aftermarket offerings not being engineered to control spring surge induced valve float.

We had to back up a little and relaunch our engine series getting help from our friend Naji Dahi and his company Looney Tuning. We have known Naji many years from road racing as Naji is an avid racer. Although Naji races Nissans he has gained a good reputation as a tuner for EVOs and WRX/STIs.

Over the past few months in-between other projects we have been tinkering around with AEM’s water methanol injection kit on our in-house Evo IX project car. You can read about the kit here. A few weeks ago we installed AEM’s new injection monitoring system which you can read about here.
