Not a typo: 2329whp! This incredible Series 5 Lamborghini Huracan Performante was built by the team at T1 Race Development. And yes, it makes 2329whp and 1465 lb-ft thanks to the T1 Stage 5 package including a T1-spec 5.2L Stage 1 long block, T1 Race Turbo kit with Garrett G42 turbos, T1 air/water intercooler system, T1 front mount ice box, MoTeC M142 ECU package, T1/DSX billet intake manifold, and the T1 Complete Fuel Solution Kit with 20 port injectors (10 ID1050-XDS & 10 ID2600-XDS). All of that motivation is mated to a ShepTrans 1-7 gearset and Dodson ProMax clutch. Traction comes from a set of Mickey Thompson rear and M&H front tires on 18x8.5/18x12 Forgeline forged monoblock GS1R Beadlock wheels finished in Gloss Black with Illusion Royal beadlock rings and the Engraving Omit option!

The CSF Evo X was never in the cards. Not even in my wildest dreams did I think I’d ever build an Evo. Like most everyone else, I’ve been a fan of Evo’s for a long time. But I never really had the burning desire to own one myself… if that makes any sense. So to have one at all is a little crazy. And to have one built at this level – is totally nuts!

Here’s the backstory:

I was at GMG at the end of November in 2016… just after SEMA. I was dropping off my Porsche 996tt for it’s yearly maintenance. And being that I’m good friends with the guys who work over there, I was walking around the shop with the Allan Ward (the GM), looking at some of the cars stye had in house. In the back of the race car building, was this damaged Evo X roller sitting on top of rack. I was perplexed on why GMG, a motorsports and high-end Euro company, had this Evo X there in the first place, amongst a sea of Porsches, R8’s, McLarens, etc.

Turns out the car belonged to one of their customers, Barry Zigler (owner of Swisher Sweets). He had the desire to race an Evo X, so they obliged. He raced it in the Pirelli World Challenge… and crashed it at the Long Beach Grand Prix. They bought another shell straight from Mitsubishi Motorsports to build the car up again, but by that time, Barry had moved on & decided that he wanted to race something else.

Get Baited

So for 3 years – this car sat in the back of GMG, with about 3 warehouse-bins full or race car parts, OEM parts, and spares… all sitting there. They had recently cleaned it up a bit… hoping that somebody would notice it and get baited. Well it worked… because that someone was me! I made a deal with the owner, James Safronas, to take everything. That was more his deal, than mine lol. I couldn’t just take what I wanted… it was all or nothing, as James wanted everything to do with this car gone!

He Said $25k.

I said $20k.

I told him I needed to go to the PRI show & handle some business… and that I would think about it. I called my good friend, Alex from Sheepey Built, and told him the deal. He said it was a no-brainer at that price, and told me to go pick the thing up! He said that if I did, he’d help me build something “epic”. So I came home from PRI about 10 days later to pick up my Porsche, and the deal was done. We met in the middle at $22,500… for everything.

A crashed Pirelli World Challenge car with the cage already in it + high end race car parts + all the spares. Since I travel to Toronto quite often for work, Alex from Sheepey Built told me to go meet Marco from Magnus Motorsports. “Work your magic & get him to jump on board with this project and let’s get some of his components for this build”, he said.

So that’s how Marco got involved with the project haha. And it turns out – we’ve become good friends in the process.

SEMA

With the goal of presenting the car at SEMA 2017, I wanted to work with my SoCal industry friends. I needed to work with people I could trust to get the car done in time. People who understood not just the trends & high-quality work… but the real meat & bones of the aftermarket industry, its deadlines, and the importance of a trade show like SEMA. These companies, are regarded as the best in the business in their area of expertise: Rywire, LTMW, Sheepey Built, MotoIQ, ASC Speed Metal, etc.  

My goal for this build was to showcase the sum of what the best companies from SoCal could make – working together. Every company focusing on their own area of expertise, and being handed a blank canvas to showcase their work.

Logistically, the project became super-challenging for everyone involved. It really pushed everyone to the max… especially with the SEMA deadline as a critical component. I think it’s been one of the most challenging projects all the partners have ever been involved with, especially since not many of us actually work with Evo’s on a regular basis. It was challenging no doubt. But it’s also an extraordinary adrenaline/energy rush that a lot of us in the industry thrive on.

In the end, I think it’s been such a rewarding experience, and we’ve strengthened our friendships over the build. That’s something that I’m very proud. The cars will come and go, whether they’re Evos, Hondas, Porsches, or whatever… as will the trends. But the teamwork, friendships, camaraderie, and overall pulling-together really embodies what this tuning culture is all about!

Drag Week’s Diamond — All Boost and All-Wheel-Drive

All kinds of people and machines are attracted to the challenge of HOT ROD Drag Week, powered by Dodge, presented by Gear Vendors, and Marybeth Kiczenski was raised just south of Detroit, Michigan. Her proximity to the motor city has left her with a passion for motorsport and given her the attitude needed to succeed. As a product representative for FCA she works the auto shows and smaller events throughout the year while wrenching on her own car when she’s not working. Although motorsport is thought of as being male dominated through the years, many professional female racers have rose to the top ranks of motorsport, proving that gender doesn’t matter if you have the attitude to push yourself to the top.

Back to its roots. The DSM (Diamond-Star Motors) cars are a product of Chrysler and Mitsubishi in the 90s.

Marybeth has been on Drag Week twice now, the first year as a passenger and the second time as a driver. However, her car finished the event both times. The car in question is a 1995 Eagle Talon TSi. The DSM is an all-wheel-drive, 4G63 turbocharged sport-compact that shares its roots with both Chrysler and Mitsubishi.

The beautiful bright blue paintwork covers the curves of the car, while the black trim and wheels leaves an understated and refined look to the DSM. Under the carbon fiber hood is an engine built by Boostin Performance. Inside the block are Manley rods with Wiseco pistons, which give the 4G63 a slightly higher-than-stock 9.1:1 compression ratio. The head was reworked and ported by Marybeth and received some Ferrera valves, Kiggly springs and retainers, while Forced Performance supplied the new cams. A larger turbo helps with the 29 psi of boost needed to make almost 450 through all four wheels. To help handle the power, a warmed-over five-speed and a ShepTrans transfer-case sends power to all fours wheels, and Driveshaft Shop rear axles withstand that turbo power without a sweat.

The legendary 4G63. This tiny power plant has become a legend in the import world and for good reason. Marybeths is a clean example with forged internals, a worked over head, and a host of goodies inside and out.

The car itself is largely built by her and her boyfriend — and fellow Drag Weeker — Jason Trotter (JT) with help from Kristin and Devin Schultz from Boostin Performance on the short block and tuning. Speaking of JT, he was the driver of the Talon when Marybeth rode the first time on Drag Week. After signing up his car, a Dodge Daytona Shelby Z, he broke the transmission a week before leaving and with nothing else to take Marybeth volunteered her car.

The black accents keep the Talon looking clean, and fast.

During her time as co-pilot she got the bug to do Drag Week on her own. Over the next few years she upgraded and prepared the car. She registered (along with JT in his own car) for 2016. In late 2015 she blew the head gasket and decided to upgrade the shortblock. She pulled the engine in April and while it was out she had the bay painted. While that was being done she decided to upgrade the fuel system. As we all know things snowball and time was running out. Bits and pieces got replaced and issues fixed with 2 days before the start the car was barely finished (had to pick up drag radials on the way) and they headed to National Trail to start Drag Week.

Owner, driver, mechanic.For Marybeth the week was a blast. and meeting new friends and seeing the countryside are just a few of the highlights for her. She remembers being broken on the side of the road, her car pouring oil out of it when suddenly the Roadkill crew was there. This threw her off because the appeared from nowhere. None of the #turbomoparmafia had seen them for the entire drive until something went wrong. As Marybeth says “it’s like they have spider sense for broken cars.”

She hopes to run some 10 second ETs with the car this year and claims it’s just her holding the Talon back from running her goal. The fun, adventure and purity of the competitors keep her wanting to return and she will be back again this year to push the car and hopefully get those 10s.

With 5 months until the start of Drag Week Marybeth had the engine out and the bay painted. This is how 95% of Drag Weeker cars look at that time.

They say it’s not easy being green. But it is easy to make big power, thanks to this incredible tuning package from T1 Race Development. Ricky’s 2017 Audi R8 is making 1475whp thanks to T1’s R8 turbo kit consisting of a Xona Rotor turbo upgrade, MoTeC M142 standalone engine management, and Injector Dynamics BPC-1100 fuel system. It sends this power through a ShepTrans & Dodson Motorsport transmission with a Promax clutch, Wavetrac rear differential, and Driveshaft Shop axles to Toyo Proxes R888R tires and 19x9.5/20x12 Forgeline one piece forged monoblock VX1R wheels finished in a custom matte bronze!
