Toyota GR86 compared to the previous generation of the biggest upgrade, on the heart, FA24 engine to bring the power of the increase, directly hit the pain points of old car owners, if not the difference is a little large, it is estimated that now more people change cars.
However, in the drift field, the torque increase brought by fa24 is completely insufficient, in order to keep up with the opponent's footsteps, but also in order to make a more exaggerated drift posture, transplanting the engine is essential.
In terms of inertial thinking, both to participate in the drift race and a Toyota car, the torque-rich Toyota Machine like the 2JZ should be the first choice. However, the owner of the car likes to take the sword to the side, his big brother Toyota Supra can get on the BMW B58 engine, my little brother GR86 also to use why not?
The B58 engine is used in the Supra and many BMW models, such as the M340i, Z4, etc., which have performed well in overseas races over the years, the potential is quite high, the accessories are easy to find, and it is also the main reason why the owner chooses to transplant the B58.
Exhaust manifold and intake manifold are simulated on the computer, manufactured by 3D printing, the work to do a good job must first be sharp, equipment, technology are in place, in order to improve the performance more scientifically.
Even the rubber bushing that fixes the intercooler is also 3D printed, and the data is customized by itself, so there is no need to worry about the problem of not being suitable for buying.
In order to withstand the damage of the B58 engine and continuous traverse, the entire rear subframe was also directly removed for modification. The new differential, reinforced swing arms, bushings, etc., the clean state is really a work of art, and the natural beauty of the machinery is very addictive.
The modification process of gr86 is changed from the inside out after disassembling, so the next step is to weld some anti-roll frames that meet the competition rules, and then compare the Rocket Bunny wide-body kit to determine the need for a wide-gauge wide tire before putting on the wide-body kit, which is logically quite reasonable.
Then arrange the intercooled, oil-cooled, water tank moved back, get the cooling system, assemble the chassis, pure racing GR86 can finally land, first on a horsepower machine debugging, just hear the suction sound after the turbine pressure up, it is already very hot and boiling.
In the lower part of the spring, it can be seen that the GR86 uses the STOP TECH brake set, and there is an additional caliper for hydraulic handbrake on the rear disc. On the outermost edge is a set of ADVAN TC-4 spinning rims, which were scratched shortly after being installed, which is what a combat model should look like.
Finally, with the blessing of rocket Bunny's wide-body kit, the overall sense of combat has also improved a lot, summing up that this is a GR86 with GERMAN blood on the outside but German blood flowing on the inside, which is very Toyota.
