ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as backto back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club

Yeah, well, kinda. Most shows on youtube that are supposedly scientific basically don't tell you shit. Steph at least shows you the whole process of the build, which is great, but he doesn't show you the designs process, calculations, tuning, etc. The good thing is that this kind of content is understandable for everyone (even outsiders to tuning) and it's still nice to watch even if you're into tuning yourself. This is valuable content, I like it. But still I think he isn't sharing a lot of knowledge with us in terms of specific details. Why? Because I have seen how generously Russian youtubers share their knowledge. _"So I have ported the intake to 26mm diameter, at the valve guides it's 27mm, where the ports come together it's ported to 37mm, I only polished the top side because the bottom side has will have slow separation and therefore a rough surface is preferred"_

@@kiyoponnn It depends on your business model. And sharing info actually makes a ton of sense in quite some cases. If you are open and honest about your setup, then most people will think: _"hey, looks like you know what ya doing, can you tune my car"._ Such a honest approach and open attitude can bring in a lot of customers. In practise it's the charlatans and noobs who don't want anyone to see how they get their job done, because they're bad at it. And then there is the difference between knowing what should be done and actually having talent doing it. Telling someone how it should be done doesn't mean he will succeed. One great example of this in autosports is "Gocha", from the beginning of his career he has been sharing info about his setup _(including precise camber angles)_ with anyone that's interested, dozens of engineers from Europe and Japan have examined and photographed his car; and guess what: he became drifting world champion *again* in 2019.

Stereolithography. Been doing plastics like that since 1986. That was even more complex: The laser focus was fixed right above the pool of resin and a bed would break the surface and get lased wherever it needed a build up. then it would lower 2-3mm and rise up again (minus the height of 1 layer) with a fresh layer of resin on top of the last layer...lase that layer...on and on and the machine would have to wait for any waves to stop in the tank so it was an overnight process for a few inches but you could build a furnished doll house a layer at a time. Now they are doing it with aluminum powder. That is some one off stuff right there as the cost to 3D print a form for a custom AL casting would be cheaper and maybe just as fast if you had the production nearby waiting for the part.

Fun fact: I’m currently working on a project at my university that’s looking at speeding up the build time of those 3D printers by increasing the thickness of each layer. The only issue is that increasing the layer thickness could introduce porosity which would lead to mechanical deficiencies. It’s really cool and I’m really happy with the exposure this kind of printing has been getting recently.

@soaringvulture 4 жыл бұрын

The other issue is that increasing the layer thickness reduces your Z-axis resolution. It also slows down the process because you need to scan the laser more slowly to melt the increased volume.

It was by 1980 - I remember because I was working in the business hub of Toronto for a mining company that makes fine metal powders like nickel and cobalt for tech leaders like GE's jet engine division. In our office tower there was an architectural firm that was modeling proposed projects, i.e. those miniatures of office towers you'd see in lobbies. They had something that would lay a non-metallic powder and follow that with an adhesive to bond it where desired, then go up a level and repeat, etc. I thought it was a nutty way to make a model but who's to judge. That would be the grand daddy inception of powder deposition. Early 90's I paid $625 for a Creative Labs 3X speed CD writer to be able to tell customers we could burn CDs for them. Slow as molasses but the first on the block. I paid over $300 for my first DVD burner a few years later (~1995) and it wasn't even 5X write speed.

Did anyone else at first glance think why would they 3D printed the welds? Haha

@scottmcelhiney323 4 жыл бұрын

That was my question... since it was CAD designed, and printed in .002" layers, why are there obvious tig welded seams around it?

@inkno701 4 жыл бұрын

It was printed in separate pieces then welded together. Probably limited to size of printer or to guarantee perfect fitment.

Sometimes depending on the part, there are high internal stresses and parts can warp when taken off the build platform. Fantastic process, but more suited to complex form designed specifically for the application. Conformal cooling channels in tooling inserts are a good example.

Impressive! I once interviewed for a company in Michigan that build parts using ultrasonic welding. The base material was a metal tape, I forgot what alloy. Around 2007.

Layer by layer. Very interesting. I was picturing liquified aluminum being squirted from a single tip. Now I see how it can work.

Wow, I have huge respect for your knowledge and capabilities. You are right up my alley as far as the quest for engine building and design knowledge through all types of racing and all types of engines. 1000bhp is a very impressive number for a production based motor. The only itch I have is with the amount of money that is invested to obtain these results. I am sure that with the considerable resources put at your disposal, similar results could be had with a lot of other production based engines from different manufacturers which sort of takes away some of the glory that Toyota or BMW would like to earn as a result of this build. With that being said, I will continue watching your videos with great admiration. Thank you.
