AJP - Proud Sponsor of Honda of America Racing Team

When Bryan Johnson of Honda of America Racing Team (HART) asked Doug Macmillan of Hondata for advice on boosting his 2006 Honda Civic Si race car, he was told “AJ Performance”. Over the last two months, Bryan and his team installed and tested the AJ Performance turbo kit.

Their target race was the Redline Time Attack, a series of races throughout the race season which pits cars against the clock, fastest lap wins the race. Points are awarded and the one with the most points at the end of the season wins.

HART made it to the last race of the season, held at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR). What happened stunned the field.

5th Place Finish for Honda of America Racing Team

Bryan Johnson drove the Honda of America Racing Team’s 2006 Honda Civic SI to 5th place out of 11 entrants in the Unlimited Class of the Redline Time Attack at Virginia International Raceway. Two more cars entered Day 2 after missing Day 1, both rear-wheel drive, keeping HART the only entrant in the front-wheel drive subclass.

We spoke with Bryan and he thinks that he would have been able to beat the other front wheel drives, had they shown up. He has some ideas to speed things up and dominate the front-wheel drive class next year.

The car has the following:

• Sleeved block K24
• forged pistons and rods
• unported TSX head
• 06 TSX intake cam
• RSX-S exhaust cam

Not only did the car finish with a great time, but it avoided the fate of several cars which dropped out of the race through collisions, mechanical failures, electrical failures and other nasty issues.

AJP Turbo Kit powers HART in Redline Time Attack

After Day 1 of the two-day Redline Time Attack competition at Virginia International Raceway this weekend, Honda of America Racing Team (HART) driver Bryan Johnson ran an overall 5th best time in the Unlimited Division out of nine cars.

Regrettably, Johnson is the only entrant in the Unlimited Front Wheel Drive subdivision, so he has no direct competition. However, he is faster than four out of the five Rear Wheel Drive cars.

In an earlier practice session, Johnson placed third overall in a field of 20 cars including both the Modified Division and Unlimited Division, beating out an All-Wheel Drive Subaru Imprezza WRX by a mere tenth of a second.

Bryan drives a white and red 2006 Honda Civic SI coupe with 464 hp, 346 ft-lb torque at 15 psi, powered by the AJP turbo kit and customized Hondata tuning. His goal is to make it through the race without blowing anything up. From the looks of it, he’s doing quite well.

Making Drive-by Videos

The stillness of a lonely, rural road in Port St. Lucie, FL was shattered by the sounds of an AJP turbo kit. The AJP shop car and a black SI belonging to Jorge (winner of our 2007 Dyno Day Forced Induction category) took turns driving up and down as I tried to frame their cars.

This was the shop car’s first real test of its rebuilt motor out on the streets. Ron reports that everything went perfectly, from his 75-minute drive up to Port St. Lucie to the drive-bys. No Check Engine Lights, hiccups or glitches.

Paint Left Peeling Off Shop Walls

If there was one common sound that AJ Performance personnel heard on Halloween, it was ringing. Not the ringing of doorbells by trick-or-treaters but the ringing in the ears caused by a Ligier SCCA Road Race car. Dominic, who lives in South Florida, was referred to AJ Performance by Hondata for the tuning of his Honda-powered car.

Can Ron look any more intense?

Ineptitude - If you can’t learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly

Ralph, of Fort Lauderdale, took these words to heart when he entered his 1996 Honda Civic EK Hatchback into the competition. Sporting stock internals, his car underperformed well enough to win the Least Horsepower award with a jaw-dropping 91 whp. He requested, and was granted, anonymity on this blog, though he has hung the plaque proudly on his office wall. Read the rest of this entry »

After your dyno session, head over to this wind tunnel

If you’re serious about racing, you know that aerodynamics is a big part of your car’s performance. A company called Windshear has invested $40 million dollars into a wind tunnel that allows you to run the car in place up to 180 mph. You can measure air flow around the car and the force the car exerts on the ground. For a cool $4,000 per hour. Not for the daily driver.

More dyno installation at AJ Performance

Here are more pictures taken on Saturday, June 30, 2007. This is the front of the dyno. The wall-mounted monitor on the left-hand side is where the readout will display. The little silver rails on the floor is for the dyno to move according to the length of the car. The adjustment is automatic - just punch in the length and the dyno moves accordingly. How cool is that?

Check out this Dynocom demo video (click here) of a 2006 Corvette Z06 spinning its wheels. Those sounds will soon reverberate quite loudly here at AJP. The dyno installation is almost complete. They’ll be working on it some more tonight.
