t1race@gmail.com — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Since the unveiling of FT-86 Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show in the Fall of 2009, we've watched the progress of this sports coupe move at what seemed like a snail's pace...from it's debut as merely a concept....to it's reintroduction as a ‘refined' concept...to being shelved due to a sluggish economy. Lucky for us car enthusiasts, the wait [...]

Although the Subaru WRX STi is globally renown as one of the best foundations to build-on for just about any form of motorsport, the fact remains that it still poses a handful of obstacles when it comes to generating substantial power with the flat-four boxer engine. One such obstacle is fuel delivery. From the factory, the 20 [...]

Race Wrap Up: T1 Takes TX2K12 By Storm

t1race@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100

In the world of high performance imports and exotics, very few events are as heavily anticipated as the TX2K12 meet that takes place every year in Houston. Since the event’s inception way back in the year 2000, hundreds (if not thousands) of heavily modified Supras have been descending on the South Coast to battle for supremacy on the road c [...]

Better, Faster, Stronger: PPG B-series Gear Sets Now Available

t1race@gmail.com — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Ask and you shall receive...sometimes at least. In this case, we got lucky. The PPG gear set has long been the best option for the Honda B series gearbox in drag applications. When introduced a few years ago the $8150 Australian retail cost wasn't too much of a blow to us in the US due to the exchange rate being very much in our favor [...]

GTR Drivetrain Upgrades Now Available From T1 and DSS

t1race@gmail.com — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Twin-turbo power, traction, and lightning quick shifts are all key parts of the R35’s seriously lethal arsenal. But as every GTR owner can attest, when the hammer drops…sometimes a violent launch isn’t all you get. As the car squats and weight transfers, the VDC does all it can to ensure efficient power delivery to all four wheels…but [...]

S2000 Runs 9.5s in 'Real Street' Trim

t1race@gmail.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

We see a trend forming here. While Civics & Integras fight to maintain their foothold for supremacy in the Honda tuning world...it seems like everywhere you turn there's another S2000 project rolling out that shatters the notions people have about this chassis. In the early years of tuning it was "No, you can't boost that motor...t [...]

Building your R35 just got alot easier: Manley Platinum Series Pistons and Turbo Tuff Rods

t1race@gmail.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Right out of the box, the VR38DETT that has propelled the R35 to world-domination has proven to be an absolute powerhouse, allowing skilled tuners to squeeze-out an additional three to four hundred horsepower with relative ease. However, as well-engineered as the VR may be, once you exceed the limitations of the factory connecting rods...you now have a very expen [...]

Konstant Design / T1 GTR Hoodies & T-shirts Now Available!

t1race@gmail.com — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Ever since Nissan pulled the covers off of the R35 GTR Concept in 2001, two very simple words seem to echo in my mind every time I see one of these beasts... ‘I WANT'. Unfortunately my bank account always seems reply with ‘CAN'T HAVE'. Working at T1 and seeing some of the fastest GTRs in the country being built on a daily basis means th [...]

T1 Race Development R35 GTR Build: From the Dyno to the Street to the Track

t1race@gmail.com — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

This past weekend cool weather and clear skies prevailed, which provided us with an opportunity to begin

dialing in Shin’s R35 GTR. After a long and somewhat bumpy upgrade path (thanks to some sub-standard work

done by a previous 'tuner' whose name we shall not mention) the project is finally nearing completion.

This proved to be true once again this past weekend as T1 Race Development hit the highway and headed down to our home-track...the Texas Motorplex in Ennis. After last weekend's first round defeat (.048 MOV) in the W [...]

To meet this need Walbro has introduced the 39/50 Dual-Channel Single-Stage fuel pump. The pump was designed around the 39mm armature that has been proven in O [...]

HTP Performance Breaks World Record Equipped with Injector Dynamics ID1000s

t1race@gmail.com — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100

Pop quiz: What happens when you strap a bottle-fed 1300 cc four-banger to an aluminum frame, attach a seat, handlebars, and a couple of wheels, then grab your 'sack' and head to the track? For most people...this would not end well. However, if you happen to be HTP Performance and Ryan Schnitz and you do this...records w [...]

t1race@gmail.com — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100

It's that time of year again. SEMA: where all of the latest greatest go-fast parts get shown off to the tuning world for the very first time by bikini clad babes (who will also be showing off their own set of goods). Some get to attend, while others are stuck dreaming about it. Either way, this is the equivalent of a candy store for car guys...and I'm get [...]

T1 Goes Testing at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis

t1race@gmail.com — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100

In preparation for the 16th annual World Cup Finals at Maryland International Raceway on November 5th and 6th, we took the T1 Outlaw Integra out to the Texas Motorplex in Ennis for a little test-n-tune. The objective was to test out a few new 'things' on the car, and gather some data with the Wastegate Position Sensor. Off the trailer, Integra was able to lay down successively faster passes throughout the night. After the initial shakedown, the car went 8.89 [...]

Wastegate Position Sensors - Why do I really need them?

t1race@gmail.com — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0100

I'm often asked the question "Why would I need to know the waste gate position if my boost control is doing what I want it to?" This is usually followed up with a comment such as "so long as the boost it what I want I don't care what the waste gate is doing" The reality is that the waste gate position can tell you many [...]

t1race@gmail.com — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0100

As any builder, driver, or tuner of a vehicle equipped with an Electronic Fuel Injection system knows... knowledge is power. Having the ability to understand the mechanisms, gather and interpret the data, and adjust the parameters to optimize the performance of their vehicle is what separates winners from those who don't...or can't.
