Appreciate these videos, you must be busy with work and family but still find time to entertain us and share knowledge and skills….. nice one for all the hard work 💪🏼
AMAZING. Love it so much. Such attention to detail and functionality. So well explained, never satisfied and always tinkering and perfecting Thank You for the in depth look at this BEAST.
I am actually building an S14 with one of these engines. (3B currently) Started many years ago like you, lol. Absolutely love your build, great inspiration to get mine finished! Love seeing the progression on this though, Great work dude!
Don't apologise for the gearbox mount. It took design and engineering to make it work and most people would be glad to have such a amazing setup. I personally love listening to you talking about the development of certain parts and the direction that you are willing to push things outside of the box. You are truly the definition of if you never try you never learn. Onwards and upwards Darren 👏
Everyone else has their dream build in their head, but you've put it into action. There must be some quare stuff in the water in that part of Cork with these kinds of builds 🤔
I would have to find the original order for the cams to give you specs and it was a long time ago... Basically it was the largest cam for a forced induction engine that cat cams made
I personally agree with sticking to the Audi 5 pot , kinda makes it more authentic even though it’s not yet making the power you want . Agree with the EGT sensors too and for what they cost it far outweighs an engine catastrophe. Maybe try mounting your alternator off the back of the gearbox or rear diff , quite a few race cars do that and maybe reduce the rpm of the alternator too . The colour scheme and graphics suit it very well . Just a quick technical question on drift regs .. I’m building an E36 GTR for racing but may do a drift spec one too , do the regs permit double wishbone conversion on the front , instead of Mcphearson struts? ( shock mounting on the bottom arm and original inner wing location ) . Cheers D .
Thank you, Unfortunately we spend a lot of time idling between runs so a drivetrain mounted alternator i dont think is a great idea for us as i like to see that solid 14v all the time 99% of drift series do not allow you to change the original suspension design
My favourite car was meant to get a spin but the next day the rain came and no wipers I don't like Audis but this one I do it's the only one I like what a car
we need to see more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from Group D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will try

Quite difficult to get time to do vids but thank you for appreciating them

Glad you liked it! More to come

Do it! the 5 cylinder sounds so good. I have a 3B also incase i need another head

Thank you so much. We will be lowering the engine and gearbox at some point so the gearbox mount will be reworked then
@@Group-D I look forward to seeing your progress as you go. Keep killing it 💪
Amazing content as always dude love the fact you share you thinking and knowledge.
Thank you very much. Always hope people like it
Have to love the sick detail
More to come
One my dream car....Just epic
Keep up the good work n amazing builds!!!!
thank you
WOW Thats some TASTY engineering skills there If Im late for Mass on Sunday Morning can I borrow it 😆
Dont go to mass they will uneducate you
Great video Darren. Love seeing an informative tech video 👌
That has been the plan show what we can do

Ya it was a long road but we got her done finally
Class stuff
Thank you
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
It's a shame there isn't more 5 cyl drift cars, such an iconic sound!
Ya but that in itself makes them desirable as they are so rare. If they were common then it wouldnt be the same
Nice of you to share what you have created. Just wondering what cam profiles you are currently running?

oh hell yeah, didn't know you had a channel.
You do now
the stuff of schoolboy dreams!
Yes but maybe a bit later than schoolboy for me
Some car lad tnx for video
Thank you
Without you explaining the buold people would not realize how much work goes into a build of this caliber.....
Ya i guess a lot goes into them. Almost every area has been modified
I’d love to take the Quattro for a spin what build and fleet you have keep it up🫶👏
Im the only one who gets to drive this one lol
@@Group-D i don’t blame you lol, builds are definitely inspiring🫶
do you not worry about rubber blocking the rad without any shroud?
No its not an issue. Every now and then you make run your hand across the rad to brush some rubber off but its a lot less than you think
My favourite car was meant to get a spin but the next day the rain came and no wipers I don't like Audis but this one I do it's the only one I like what a car
Some day we will get you a spin in it
