We Look Inside Fredric Aasbo’s Papadakis Racing Toyota Corolla iM Drift Machine

,

Even though the Full Race exhaust manifold is exceptionally strong, the manifold is still solidly supported to the chassis by this stay.
 

The car uses a KRC power steering pump, mounted low in the chassis to get it away from heat and to develop a good pressure head on the suction side. The short belt runs to the pump should keep it reliable. All of the front drive stuff is clean and simple. Drift cars have violent rpm changes and can easily pitch belts if the drive is not considered carefully. 
 

Dual AEM 380 LPH pumps feed Ignite Red ethanol fuel to the thirsty Injector Dynamics 2000cc injectors through an AEM 25-201 fuel filter. An AEM fuel pressure regulator with an adjustable return bleed keeps the fuel pressure under control and with a large bleed will not be overrun at idle even with massive pump capacity.  
 

Managment of the engine's electrical system is handled by two Motec PDM 15's. One unit handles the power needs of the rear of the car, the other the front. PDM's are wonderful greatly simplifying the wire harness and taking the place of boards full of relays. 

This is the front PDM that lives under the dash. Having two PDM's in the areas of high power demand shortens the length and amount of high current line needed to feed the PDM making things simpler and more reliable. 

 

The AEM Infinity ECU also lives under the dash right next to the front PDM.
