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.

Damn!! Unbelievable that a racing team would expose their problems and explain them to the public. I have even more respect for you and your team, and thanks for doing these videos! Cheers!

That's because it's just drifting where engines/tunes/turbo's aren't controlled/parity and they aren't looking for tenths of a second in engine performance.

I've seen multiple Russian drifting teams showing their problems, quite common there. But so far I haven't seen a racing team to film the teardown of their engine in a tutorial-like format. Evil Empire drifting team films their blown JZs teardown in a life-blog way. Btw, in drifting the control and handling is more important than power if you have the skill to use it. Gocha became world champion with just an SR20 and 500hp, and he can keep up with his friend's 1200hp gtr. But still the more power the better if it doesn't mess up throttle response and weight distribution of the car.

sasja de vries oh, for sure. I’m just impressed because they are a big-time Toyota team; they’re not exactly in the gamma delta iota fraternity (G*d Damned Independents) running an sr20 or a 2j, etc...they’re producing 250HP per cylinder! I think that has to be the exact definition of high-strung in mechanical terms.

I really don't think you cracked the porcelain. Is it more probable someone down the parts supply chain dropped it. That being said, I respect that you took yourself out of the equation for future plugs, with the gapping tool. Awesome vid

@gullreefclub 5 жыл бұрын

Obviously we can not say for certain who caused the porcelain to be damaged on the spark plug. However I have scene plugs damaged by the tap down method of gapping spark plugs. As a result of that I log ago stopped closing the gap on plugs that way and depending on the plug gap I either use a old style plug squeezer or an electrode bending tool additionally I have found that on conventional plugs a little careful work with a Dremel tool and a sanding drum cleaning up the profile of the ground strap can make a difference with help controlling detonation. After re-profiling the ground strap I make sure to throughly clean the plug before installing them in a engine.

@Ed-ty1kr 5 жыл бұрын

So you are saying the box, and cardboard sleeve didn't do their job? Actually the plugs he buys may even use a plastic sleeve. Dropping spark plugs usually cracks the nickel alloy electrodes inside the plug, sometimes I have even pulled the entire electrode out after this happens. The ceramic insulator is aluminum oxyde, but both if cracked instantly let you know at startup. And once they are cracked they are cracked, there is no in between. So he would immediately know at startup after he installed cracked plugs. And also there is obviously more than one there cracked. This indicates some other issue. Like excessive combustion chamber heat. Indicated by melted underside of the pistons.

@chickenfishhybrid44 5 жыл бұрын

Can't say that I've caused an issue by tapping plugs down for the last like 15 years. But I also have never installed plugs on something pushed quite as hard as that engine. A few 1000 hp plus drag cars but not running that high of boost or for prolonged runs like drift

@NickKautz 4 жыл бұрын

I don't think the porcelain broke before the failure. Detonation and excessive heat causes the electrode to expand and break the porcelain insulator. I think the tune was a bit aggressive and that cylinder was a cunt-hair hotter than the rest and/or the design of piston itself had a sharp edge that didn't get sanded down. Look where the detonation happened , right where there's an edge.

Dear PapadakisRacing, I am not sure if you will ever see this comment, but I hope the energy goes your way regardless. Thank you for being so forthcoming with your knowledge. As a young engine builder and fabricator, it is difficult to find people in the industry who are willing to share information if you don't work there and that can be discouraging. Thank you for the constant updates and full documents of teardowns and builds. I appreciate that you show when things don't go according to plan. I think few fans on KZfaq realize the balls it takes to not edit out things that look "bad" (ex. When the cam didn't come out of the Supra motor and you had to lean on it). I appreciate these things as it helps eliminate the illusion that when you become pro, or a pro team that life still doesn't throw you curve balls. I respect your honesty, as well as creativity. Keep up the good work, as you are one of the few people to "look up to" in the drift industry. Blessed and Safe Season for you and the Team at Papadakis, Adam. P.S. Thank you for not running LS 😊

Well done for putting this video up Stephanos, it is a credit to you. Most tuning houses, at least the known ones, would absolutely avoid doing that, as it does happen all the time. In general I like your work as it is a quality one. As I've seen comments on pre-ignition, pre-ignition does not happen because of the spark plug, it happens because of hot spots, and the mixture pre-ignites before the spark plug fires. The dings due to the porcelain part falling off can cause pre-ignition, but Stephanos theory of cracking the porcelain while gaping them it is not the case. The plug having the porcelain already lightly cracked, tiny hair crack, by dropping the case of the plugs i.e on the ground while shipping it from the manufacturer/merchant to the end user is more of the case, as it does happen. The porcelain, white part, of a spark plug can also crack and brake off if the spark plug is faulty by the manufacturer during normal operation without any detonation present, very high egts etc. Also pistons do not get burnt, they crank, chip and break. A piston is constantly into combustion with very high temps and cylinder pressures, what people see on the crown of a damaged piston/rings is burnt oil.
