In this thrilling episode of Adam LZ, the man himself takes on the challenge of testing an E36 with over 1,000 horsepower for the very first time. The focus? The impact of turbo size on a drift car's performance. Drawing from past experiences with a giant turbo on a 3-liter engine, Adam delves into the nuances of firing off from a handbrake and getting the car in boost to avoid bogging. As the car's sound undergoes a surprising transformation, Adam finds the new power manageable, gearing up for some adrenaline-pumping drift action.
Navigating the fine line between dyno results and real-life performance, Adam notices a slight delay in the turbo's response but appreciates the car's drivability and quick power band engagement during his test runs. With a keen eye on the car's adaptability to tight layouts like the compound, Adam sheds light on their decision to steer clear of nitrous due to reliability concerns. Amidst the testing, the team encounters challenges with the car's belt tensioner and clutch kicker bracket, prompting them to work on adjustments for optimal performance.
Beyond the adrenaline-fueled test runs, Adam shifts gears to announce an exciting birthday sale and giveaway on his channel, engaging fans in the celebration. As the team tackles issues with the belt tensioner and clutch kicker bracket, Adam's meticulous attention to detail shines through, setting the stage for some fine-tuning on his R32 GTR and sedan. From upgrading seats to planning engine enhancements for the Porsche, Adam's passion for perfection and performance drives the narrative forward, promising an exhilarating journey ahead for fans and enthusiasts alike.
