EVO powered Formula car - Jim Russell Racing School

[johnmont250]

Chip Spankow is a total tool, and Emotive ruined Jim Russel Racing. Stupid motor for this open wheeler, turbo sucks on formula cars, thats why no one runs em.

[legsport1]

Is it 3000ccm v10 engine?? On the formula car?? (Lola B08/20) :)

[marlo916]

blahh... they shoulda used a K series...

use the downloader then watch it on your media player

[Patlabor44]

Hey just so you guys know and there isn't any confusion. The FJR 50 weights about 1235 pounds without a driver and about five gallons of fuel on the scales. We also use air restrictors on the turbo inlet to ensure equal power throughout the fleet of formula cars. During most school events the cars run around 250hp. Race trim is 300hp. These cars are faster around our track than any stock car or Indy Lights car. If we choose to use a softer compound tire we could be substantially faster.

What was up with the red GTO/3000GT at :41, electric hard top convertible? I've never seen one quite like that before. The top looks kinda simmular to the 300x 2+2 convertible concept/thingy.

[TheRevitalizedprince]

@c0c0asauce 3000gt Spyder.

[alwjmonster]

WOW... damn mitsubishi fair!! i swear im gona own an evo after 3years time

[cxbra]

@alwjmonster Me too, or an STi.

[monono954]

are you guys aware that f1 cars make about 200lb's of toque. I'm pretty sure that engine is making more than that so put that into context. that car is making more torque than your typical f1 car. Horsepower is just torque*rpm's/5252, so like i said you guys complaining about power are ridiculous.

[lejink]

@monono954 this is true, but f1 engines peak at around 20,000rpm. making torque at high rpm is more useful torque because you can use gearing.

200lbs of torque but a lot higher horsepower

[the26thhour]

@monono954

How dare u come on the armchair genius's platform to talk about something u actually have any education on! The comments box is solely intended for the ignorant to sling their monkey poo at each other, [or at least as far as 1 can tell], didn't u know that?!!

p.s. Interesting 8)

[p10gt]

guys, dont be stupid.. this "only" 200whp EVO formula is like 600whp EVO thanks to weight.

[eeeen321]

-205whp?

-9psi??

stock boost is low 20's tapering to high teens..

stock longblock 4g's have made how much power on limit pushing runs?

550whp-600+whp??

a properly built stock long block 4g63 can make a Reliable 400whp without thinking twice.

and there is a lot of proof that says they can reliably make much more.

205whp and 305whp on the race map?.... i understand its light, but come on.

can you imagine what would happen if they had an AMS build long block running a TAME! FPred on 20psi?!

[PseudoScienceb20]

There's alot more to it than pure horsepower when it comes to driver training formula cars. The FJR-50 car weighs 1023 lbs, with 300 hp giving a power to weight ratio of 3.41 lbs/hp.

The Evo 8 weighs 3200 lbs and even with 500 hp, it has a power to weight ratio of 6.4 lbs/hp.

(The Formula car is almost twice as fast while having 200 hp less.)

On the VT Formula SAE racecar that I'm working on, even 100 hp will prove to be more than sufficient due to the 450lbs weight.

[eeeen321]

Boooo!

Thats great that you decided to break it down like that "smart guy", unfortunately most of your comment is commonsense based, keyboard know-it-all-ism...

IF you would have read a little more carefully, you would have noticed I made ZERO reference to what chassis the engine was in (purposely).....

....I was strictly referring to the 4G63t engine and what IT is capable of, no matter what car it is in.

4g owns.....

[wowofallthepeople]

@eeeen321 what do you think about boxer engines, in the 4 cylinder segment, compared to the 4g

[eeeen321]

@wowofallthepeople -I think in higher HP applications, the Flat4 poops-out in regards to flowing in and out of the head. Heads just can't hang. Even EJ/Subi Gods talk about the 'dog leg' limiting flow, and its not curable.

-At crazy levels, I don't think F4's have piston rings that are able to seal like they can on an Inline engine.

-There are many pros to using Flat4 engines; but in regards to making a lot of AWHP, the EJ can't hang with the 4g63.

[eeeen321]

@eeeen321 If some company would RWD convert an Evo, with a tube-chassis, and tubbed the rear with MASSIVE rear slicks and a Ford 9" rear end, Than we would see Evos' hitting mid-low 7's, using less power than the low 8 sec awd Evos' run now.

But as it is, the top Evo drag racers in the world use oem unibodies matched to modified versions of the factory awd systems, and only in a couple cases do teams run huge rear diffs (APC, not STM)... but never tubbed RWD tube-chassis..

[Tekvicious]

@eeeen321 The RWD Outlaw 4g63 that Brent Rau drives makes 1400hp on Alky and runs6's. 4g63 was the best 4 cylinder engine for the better part of 15 years!

[wowofallthepeople]

@eeeen321 how about daily driving, personally I love the sound of the boxer

[eeeen321]

@wowofallthepeople A friend of mine just bought a 2011 wrx, and I had a friend w/ a 360awhp (mustang dyno) 04' wrx wagon, ON THE STOCK 2.0L; they are awesome cars.

But when compared at crazy lvls of power, the 4g has proven time and time again, its the boss man.

And No, I don't like the "boxer sound"; which is little more than exhaust gas flowing through an UNequal length header. Every heard a flat 4 w/ Equal-length headers, the STI spec C has oem. Does away w/ 95% of the "Boxer" sound.

[DavidMe9]

How many Lancer Evolution!! just amazing!! 5*

[007JackyJiang]

i think evo 8 loks better than the evo 10

[AkatsukiRei]

Imaging it at stock Boost levels, would be killer.

[koukiR32]

Whats the point of doing that just for driving school? I mean, if Mitsubishi haver their own Formula series like the Mazda does then that might do better in PR as well as marketing standpoint.

[justforever96]

Ahh, a Lancia Delta S4 would beat that off the start line. Probably not on a Formula track, but without the slicks or aero aids, the S4 would destroy. Not that I wouldn't love to own the Mitsu.:)

[TokyoXtremeDrifter]

fuck me sideways. EVO HEAVEN :D silver looks good any any car i swear XD

[richardklecka11]

ahahah!! at first i thought the ice cream man was in my neighborhood. damn.

[H22BB6]

They should've had footage of it in motion..that would have been nice

[chronodriver]

Do a search for "FJR-50" Lots of track footage of these cars in action :)

[drfiter1stcollege2nd]

i dnt like the new evos!!!!!!!!

[everlasting1832]

wtf is up with youtube..fuking laggin all the time

[TokyoXtremeDrifter]

and i thoguht it was my pc ;) fucking new beta bs or something XD

[zonda93]

@everlasting1832 No lag here? Maybe its your crap computer?

[plutocanhack]

@everlasting1832 get a mac ,windows sucks

[DRUNKCANADIAN]

That is pretty cheap for the sessions

[pballer2005]

stfu and drive the damn thing

[clos19851]

that thing needs an rb in it

[AutOtaku]

running on 9 psi of boost haha i wonder their outcome then ;o

[importjunky27]

I wounder how much the cost per unit of that thing is... And I Wounder if the EJ257 would of been a better motor for that application.. Lower COG and already setup with the intake mani on top and a rear drive style trans.

[subeefan]

thats what i said but w/e the choice is doesn't really matter to me

[ebw16256]

I WANT AN EVO DAMNIT

[AutOtaku]

i have one :D

[djderk]

he says " lancer eeeevolution"

[potsmoker5000]

Thats fucking sick.

[Mastecon21]

That would be so cool to buy as a kit car for the track.

[vtecboi18]

a vq35hr would of been better

[arabrockerman]

I love Nissan engines but this is much more compact and light one thing Nissan i4s aren't

niether are hondas mitsubishi blocks are light and compact which is part of the reason why they are so crappy but its perfect for this application.

[subeefan]

no i think a ej25 would have been the best out of all

[vtecboi18]

oh yeah those boxers engines are nice too, but id still would have to go with the vq.

[subeefan]

the only thing is that alot of the other engines being mentioned here are bigger than the 4G and obv that is why they chose it, it would be col if someone else could do a build similar to this :)

[vtecboi18]

yeah thats true

[e2emceesquared]

The ej wouldn't fit within the body constraints and the same with the vq35. When they build a formula car the engine is essentially part of the chassis as you saw in the video. So a flat four wouldn't provide the structural integrity and the v6 would be too big and heavy.

[420witchdoctor]

So it's a Formula 3 car. Sweet.

[XenoRacing]

Why an inline4? :|

[RotatedDC2]

that is not evo ten powered. it has a 4g63. not a 4b11. still an interesting car

[dragateli]

yeeee lmfao

[tzvety911]

what is imfao

?

?

?

[stussykim]

LAUGH MY FUKIN ASS OFF

MY FRD

[USConnexion]

lmfao  Laughing my fuckn' ass out
