Heffner TT Install at Miller Motorsports Park

[Heffner Performance]

We got a bit of a late start today due to a delayed flight but thankfully Roger Miller and Scott from TDC Motorsports were able to get the car on the lift and get the wheels off to save us a bit of time.

Upon arrival at MMP I have to say that I was simply amazed at the scale of this facility. There is a Kart track, a supercross track, an off road course, a road course that in it's full length is 4.5 miles long, clubhouses, garages, racing schools and tons more cool stuff that I will remember tomorrow.





I'll get some more of the track when we get the cars out.

First we get the rear bumper and exhaust removed.







All of the turbo system parts are laid out, inventoried and inspected prior to installation.



There are a few odds and ends to do prior to installation of the turbos, mid pipes and down pipes. Even with a late start we were able to get the turbos hung.



Tomorrow Dave from PPI should be here to get going on the suspension, brakes and body kit. I will be sure to get some good pictures. Thanks for reading.

Awesome.

Now this is what makes a R8 come alive without destroying the true essence of the car.

Heffner + Audi R8 owners = win

The more of these installs I see, the more I can't wait for mine!

These are serious evil looking turbo plumbing....

Subscribed for sure! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks guys. We just started it up and everything sounds great. Mitch Clark from PPI North America showed up this afternoon with both of his PPI body kitted R8's and I can't put into words how amazing these cars look. His technician has been working on fitting the body kit and the new suspension is on as well. I will work on getting some pictures uploaded tonight.

Is that a mini / tuna can/ muffler in the final exhaust tubing? Mine has nothing....what's the difference... if any
Thanks Jason.....it's a beast.....The GT Guy's.... (unsolicited plug) sure know their stuff.

Looks like business with pleasures. Everything looks fantastic. Enjoy your time there Jason.

Hey I want to apologize for not being able to welcome you to MMP and to help show you around the place. My car is still down in Nevada, and I am completely buried within a project for a couple of more weeks. MMP is normally my summer and fall home track. As you have become aware, MMP is a wonderful, world class facility. Im sure you will be having great fun along with your work this week.

I also want to compliment you and your staff for going the extra distance in doing everything possible to perfect your Turbo system. Serious hi performance track endurance testing shows some serious extra effort and real product risk that is rare to see. But I believe completely that it is an essential and proper part for all serious engine upgrades of this kind. You certainly seem to be doing it right in developing the products that you represent.

My kudos to you.

krpman,

Those mufflers are manufactured bu Burns Stainless and are quite effective. Your car has them as well. I hope you are enjoying it.

Vincent,

If you think this is cool, wait until you see next weeks pictures of the full engine build process that we are wrapping up now.

We got a lot done yesterday. We installed the heat exchanger for the intercooler system.


The water pump and reservoir for the intercooler system were installed as well as the larger MAF housings and air inlet plumbing.


We also got the intercooler, air discharge piping and diverter valves installed.




As you can see, this build is shaping up nicely. We got the car running and warmed up before we left last night. Everything sounds good and we should have the car ready for a suspension alignment this afternoon.
