The turbo4.com, Mitsubishi-powered dragster will be on display in the BorgWarner booth at the PRI Show. Stop by between December 1st and 3rd at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida to see this NHRA National Record holding, turbocharged, 4-cylinder dragster. While you’re there, don’t miss BorgWarner’s impressive line of performance turbochargers that make setting records possible!
This past weekend at the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove, we set the I/D National Record in the 1/8th mile! The record now stands at 4.56 at 155 MPH!
Here is a video of the run:

The US Nationals have come and gone, what an experience! We made a solid qualifying effort on Thursday running a best of 7.08 at 187 MPH. We went out Friday to try to improve on that time and move up the ladder but unfortunately had a sensor failure cause some serious engine damage. The whole crew worked hard late into the night to put in a fresh motor to make first round on Saturday morning. With only a few short minutes of run time on a fresh motor, we went up for first round. The car performed great, running a new best of 6.95 at 193 MPH! That time wasn’t enough to take down our first round opponent though so that put us out of the competition for the weekend. Overall it was a great experience and we couldn’t have done it without the support of some great companies. Thank you AEM, Airwerks Turbos by Borg Warner, DV/DT Fab, Extreme PSI, Fuel Injector Clinic, Kiggly Racing and SparkTech Ignitions.

14 hours of driving for 14 seconds on the track, but it was worth it! We’re on our way home from a hot but fun trip to New England Dragway. In qualifying on Saturday, we ran a new best ET and MPH at 7.08 at 187 in the 100 degree heat! Saturday we improved on that number again going 7.04 at 190! The Borg Warner turbo is really getting into it’s groove as we turn the boost up and our AEM systems are working great for an awesome tune. The Sparktech ignition didn’t miss a beat nor did the 12 massive FIC injectors. We couldn’t do this without Extreme PSI, DV/DVFab or Kiggly Racing either! Thanks for all of your continued support!
We also have to thank New England DSM! This was the first NHRA event we’ve been to with DSMers coming out to support us. You guys are awesome!
We got some great video footage at this event with a new GoPro location as well. Stay tuned for that video.
