Exclamation Twin Turbo J32 w00t!

I was reading the new edition ( May 2007 ) of Honda Tuning today and I came across something kinda interesting...

Honda R&D made a drift Element to compete in the '07 Formula D Championship, and with this, they used the J32 with TT for their power house.

It essentiall is a stock J32 VTEC V6, bottom end has Crower I-beam rods and CP 8.0:1 pistons, heads remain stock internally, it has a prototype intake manifold with integrated liquid-to-air intercooler, which draws chilled H20 from a converted ATL spare tire "Well Cell." The combination manifold/heat exchanger gets charged from twin Garrett GT28RS Disco Potato turbos, and Siemens injectors and a Keihin-tuned stock ECU.

They are using stock TL rotors and calipers with plans to switch completely over to the TL braking system... has TL-S transaxle case...

So far with minimal tuning, they are seeing 500WHP

The Element is ugly as all hell, but I was really surprised how much they were getting out of the J32 and it more or less being stock with TT. Just some interesting reading if you can pick up the magazine!
