IN MY HOT LITTLE HANDS

No sooner was the car home & the laptop was out. Those who know me will know that I cant leave anything std for long. I remember riding home my brand spanking new Honda Fireblade to a whole host of parts waiting to be installed. Yes I’m that bad, Im even straight barred from working on my wifes car (of course it NEEDS a Turbo luv, look at them hills). So onto the Dyno it goes, only to find that my lovely one owner/never thrashed car is a bit of a nugget. You know one of those Friday cars, it run low power in std & no matter how hard I tried I cant push it beyond 185Kw when similar cars still with std exhaust get close to 200 – bugger! Anyway off to the Drags we go for some baseline testing, managed a 12.8 @ 101 mph, not all bad so im slightly happy again.

WHY AN EVO...........

After tuning the badest Subaru’s for years, why an EVO? Good question, there were really 2 real reasons: After a 6 month stint Tuning in the US at SRM tuning (a predominately EVO shop in North California), I was astonished at the sheer amount of grunt we were able to push from the EVO’s with little or no Engine work. The fact that, at the request of more than one Mad American, we pushed these things to 30 Psi of boost on std donks, says their something of a special engine. I mean I’ve met some crazy Australians, but Americans beat us hands down for the number of guys ready to push their car to breaking point. Not to mention that the EVO gearbox & diff can handle a huge amount of punishment too! (Can you hears the sighs of the WRX owners). Yet the fun got even bigger when we built the engines, strokers, big Garrett turbo kits (fun, fun)..... This was number 1.

Pulse @ World Time Attack 2017

The boys at Sydney outfit Pulse Racing have been quietly beavering away at refining their EVO for World Time Attack 2017 at Sydney Motorsport Park. Pulse have been a regular competitor at World Time Attack, competing every single year since its inception as Superlap in 2008. “Rather than re-invent the wheel this year we worked to refine our current package in almost every area” said Pulse frontman Paul Fisher. We looked over the years of Data we had from the current 1:29 package & started the ‘list’. It pretty much looked like this: More grunt Enhancing mechanical grip Refining aero for balance & sensitivity So we looked to go for lowest hanging fruit in every area, & big horsepower EVOs are what we do here at Pulse, so this was the obvious first step” said Paul. As a testament to this the boys took the current combo to a recent Roll Racing event in full Time Attack spec & blitzed the whole field including several 9sec GTRs - (ye...

WHY AN EVO...........

Number 2 reason: After landing back in OZ I was inundated with people in need of a good Tuner. So as it was, Pulse Racing was born. One Customer in those early days was a rather unassuming Lady by the name of Angela, now Angela isn’t your every day housewife, no her ride of choice is a sweet black EVO 6.5 TME with large Trust Turbo kit & all the fruit. With a bit of Pulse Racing magic we got this thing to 315 Kw at the wheels, it was while road testing this crazy machine the deal was sealed, man is it a fun car. The speed, the sounds, I had to have one!
