Project Speed Racer: Billet Oil Pump Gear

Engine oil is considered as the blood of our engine. Therefore the Oil Pump can be considered as the heart that pumps the "blood" to every other vital 'organs'. Broken oil pumps can result to catastrophic failure to your otherwise bulletproof Forged bottom end.

All components are checked, inspected, measured to ensure reliability.

The weakest chain in our 4g93T oil pump system is the OEM powdered metal gerotor gears. This gear were made  with cost as the main factor, not performance. So although they can last the entire lifetime of a street -driven engine, it would not last that long for a drag or track oriented GSR turbo. The proper solution for a drag car would be a properly design "dry sump system". but that will cost us an arm & a leg :(  .. We result to a more feasible solution. Duratech's billet oil pump gear for 4G9x series oil pumps.

This gears follow the exact dimension of OEM gears.. But due to variatiations in Mitsubishi casting dimensions, the gear are manufactured with a small margin in thickness. What this means is it can provide increase flow to the engine

Made from high grade forged billet steel that are a lot stronger than the factory gears to withstand the High-Revs nature of our performance customers.. This enable a p&p solution for most high Hi-revving/boosted gsr. But like every other Performance parts, they are only as good as the installation process !!

Gear fitting process.

So we ported & polished both the pump's inlet/outlet to increase flow to the engine. And we clearenced & blueprinted the Oil Pump assembly up to our own spec.

ported & polished casing.

Once the pump assembly has been completed, the gerotor gears are generously filled with Lucas Oil's Assembly Lube.We use Lucas Assbly Lube for all Engine rebuilding, bearings, cams etc to prevent premature wear on initial start-up.

Project Speed Racer: From Wasted To Direct?

From Wasted-Spark To Direct-Fire CDI System.

The ignition system on Mitsubishi 4g93, 4g63 are proven to be reliable from the factory. It is a well known fact that the twin-post coils on 4g93 can be counted on hi-boost, hi-revving engines. But that doesn't mean it can't be improved...

Factory Mitsu 4G9x series twin post coil packs.

Under normal power levels and conditions, the coils would operate without problem in providing the spark required under boost. Some drag cars even choose to retain the OEM coil packs for ease.
Most of the Mitsu 4g9x coil pack on our cars are more than 10-15 years old. They are mostly worn up thanks to years of high heat life under the hood. The combo of Dumb twin-post coil + power TR + plug cables made them unreliable. Most of the OEM factory plug cables would start causing problems once their insulating covers are worn. The ignition leads inside would touch the rocker cover causing the spark to "jump". Even aftermarket plug cables are prone to this failure experience...

Mitsubishi Igniter or as we know "power TR"

The next weakest link on the factory ignition system is the "power TR". The wire & even connectors going inside usually can be easily broken as they are old. Once the igniters fail it can cause many other problems.. Even i have personally face this problem many times.

AEM CDI Pencil Coil-On-Plug  Kit

We are converting Speed Racer's system from a "Wasted spark twin-post coils with igniter" to a Newer reliable coil-on-plug ignition. We use AEM's pencil coils as they have been used on many high rev high HP drag cars. The coil can be used either with 4-channel igniters (wasted spark) or with CDI module.
This eliminates the long & unreliable plug cables permanently.

Easy to wire the Coils to The CDI module. No more plug cables!!

As we are using Haltech PS1000 stand alone ECU, we have adequate channels to run the coils as a Direct fire sequential  ignition. To further improve the spark at both high Rpms and at high boost levels we wire them up to AEM Twin-Fire CDI Module. This provide a short high intensity spark across all Rpm range.

Advantages of AEM Twin-Fire CDI + AEM Pencil COP.
* 540v primary/54,000v secondary voltage energy
* 189mJ spark energy per capacitor
* Multi-Strike capability of up to 10 sparks per ignition trigger (20 degrees)
* Etc.

AEM+Haltech = Sequential direct-Fire COP system

Project SpeedART MUSC Drag Machine: The Begining

Its been a while since we participated in MUSC Drag Battle. The last time was on Feb 2011/2nd round. It was disastrous with our ALS & launch control system went haywire...

Our old setup's Personal Best or PB was 10.89sec.. It was okay during the early 2010 season when most of the 1.8 turbo participants consists of 100% daily driven chassis 4g93T gsr. Then the competition when fierce once they started litening their chassis. From experience, we decided to try a new setup for the new season.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

1. Ignition system upgrade
2. Electronics re-wire
3. Cylinder head breathing upgrade
4. Transmission sys upgrade
5. Turbo upgrade

In order for us to be competitive, we have to focus more on the competitiveness of the car . The "speed ricer", as we call it will become our Speed ARt's official demo & race-car. She will still be street registered but would spend most of her time at the strip..

Our ultimate goal would be to bring her to the maximum potential and start competing on a more serious level such as in Sepang Drag Battle events.

SpeedRicer's Intake System

Whenever you are designing an engine, it is important to set the objectives to achieve. In our case, SpeedRicer's 4g93t would only be race in quartermile-sprint events. We plan to rev our engine up to 9000-10000rpm range. It is important to choose the right intake manifold that would support our targeted Rpm range.
Quite a few options exists in the market for 4g93t gsr engine but most of them are immitations (skunk2, jun style,etc..) leaves us with 2 options namely Edelbrock's VictorX & Velocity's custom drag manif.

  

As we are decided not to fiddle with gearing ratios and such.. it is crucial for us to be able to rev higher in return shift gear later.
