Speed academy blew up their evo engine and, now hp. These Youtube builds are tough in 2020. Fingers crossed for Rob Dahm. I hope these guys get this figured out. This is my favorite build to follow at the moment.

Yes, it was fully built and then some. They think the head lifted, so the boost pressurized the coolant system, which is why it was shooting from the overflow tank. I don’t know if this is a failure to torque down the head enough, or a limitation with the design like maybe they needed to drill and tap for larger bolts or something.

I think Rob Dahm already blew his up last year. Had a ton Al shaving everywhere but seems to have everything worked out now. Dustin Williams took his BRZ drifting with a used turbo kit, random misfires, no oil cooler and running 0w20 and blew it up after two track days.lol BUT I think that one was for the views. |

IDK who Dustin Williams is but I am certainly not interested in watching his stuff if he is that dumb. It is very easy to see who is out there for likes and who is out there to teach. Thats why HPA is awesome.

Been following Rob before he even had a YT channel, back when he was just on RX7club.com
Rob's build had a dumb dumb moment. Aluminum shavings in the intercooler from cutting. No biggy. (thankfully) That's one of the things I love about his channel. He doesn't shy away from showing his mistakes. Replaced the seals in the engine and now the car is making 1200+hp Can't wait to see that thing race. The interior is finally going in. Looking forward to the stupid 6 rotor project. Bad Obsession Motorsport is another good one. |

Rob Damn has admitted that he gets more views when he makes mistakes, so he is incentivized to be transparent.

I also find him to be refreshingly creative. It is clear that he hasn't been in motorsport for very long so all of his ideas are just from his head. He isn't copying anyone else or buying parts from a catalog. Not like he could buy off the shelf parts anyway, but just saying. He doesn't care how or what anyone else is doing. He is building his car the way he wants for him.

The thing that sucks is this could have been avoided if they connected up the EGT system, but they ran out of time. Expensive mistake “if only”.

HPA is awesome, but damn his aussie accent is strong! It took me a while to figure out what a "heed gesket" was.
