In this thrilling episode of Hagerty, Damon takes us on a wild ride to Papadakis Racing in Carson, California. There, they dive into the intricate world of rebuilding a 3L inline 6 engine for none other than Ryan Tuerck's GR Supra. The team faces a setback when a poorly built part causes the engine to break, highlighting the critical importance of precision in construction. With meticulous blueprinting and careful attention to clearances, they assemble the engine using heavier bolts and rods for added strength on the track.
Modifications to the oil pan are made to accommodate rack and pinion clearance, showcasing the team's dedication to perfection in every detail. The use of a copper head gasket to seal oil and water ports, along with a copper alloy fire ring for combustion, demonstrates the team's commitment to top-notch craftsmanship. As the mechanical heart of the engine comes together, from camshafts to crankshaft, the anticipation for the finished product grows.
The team's innovative approach includes 3D printing runners for the turbocharger, allowing for intricate bends and collectors that push the boundaries of what's possible. The episode culminates in a heart-pounding track session, where the new power plant's performance shines through, impressing all involved. With the added cylinders and increased horsepower, the car's capabilities are expanded, promising even more speed and excitement on the horizon. Hagerty's journey with Papadakis Racing is a testament to the relentless pursuit of automotive excellence and the thrill of pushing the limits in the world of high-performance engines.
