In the video, he got 160ps from his Charmant which is around 158hp. Not sure which 4A-GE he used but one pic i found on the net showed what could be his engine. If it was, then he was using a 16v 4A-GE since the distributor's positioned on the side, probably big port from the way the plug wiring goes and he put independent throttle bodies on it. Hmmm.. 158hp is not that difficult to reach. I better save up some cash to upgrade the engine.
Great find Edgar! I've known Ryoji long ago but never seen video of him drifting, awesome find! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis guy needs more exposure.
ReplyDeleteRyoji also built a 930 drift machine prior to the 2005 D1GP season, he was on his way to a circuit to test the 930 out when an accident occurred on the highway. His tow-truck was hit by a truck with no plate and to avoid further damage, he made a opposite turn and slammed into the barriers, because of the impact, the 930 flew out and crushed him to death. Rest easy Takada-san.
