View Full Version : Beau Yates - Toyota 86 Monster Build

Set to debut at the opening round of ADGP in Adelaide on October 5th 2013, Beau Yates will be putting his famous 3SGTE powered AE86 into retirement, and getting behind the behind the driver seat of a new Toyota 86.

With an estimated power output of 450kw at the wheels and the 86 only weighing 1 tonne, Yates will be more than competitive this year in the ADGP series.

Unlike the likes of Aasbo, Tuercks, Orido etc. Yates will retain the 2L boxer engine and rely on a a massive Garrett turbocharger to achieve the power he is after. The engine will be stripped down and a whole bunch of forged parts installed to handle the 25psi the Garret will force down its throat. If 25psi isn't enough boost, a shot of NOS will also be injected into the combustion chamber.

The gearbox will be a 6 speed sequential box supplied by Tractive in Sweeden. Haltech will sort out the digital dash display and will most likely take care of the engine management and NOS injection. The stock steering rack will be modified to achieve the extra lock required to gain perfect entries.

A bunch of overnight parts from Japan, off the shelf TRD Suspension and those ridiculously massive TRD brakes will ensure it stops on a dime. A unique roll cage supporting an 86 logo designed by GD racecars will keep the chassis stiff.

Interestingly according to Top Gear Australia, Yates was quoted as saying that he never considered another engine due to the 50/50 weight distribution of the car and that a dirty LS v8 engine, wasn't him.

The 2jz also wasn't considered as an option either and re-engineering the hard work of Tetsuya Tada.

With a build cost exceeding $100k and the natural driving talent of Yates, I'm sure this car will be baking sets of tyres in no time.

It'd be sad to see the ae86 retired, but this build looks to be pretty epic. I've been waiting for someone to have a proper look at the boxer and see what it is capable off. Beaus ae86 3sgte was over 300kw and I'm sure with the newer FA20 engine technology and the shot of nos he won't have any issues in getting 450kw outta it

I really wish someone would use a kit other than rocket bunny on these things...

Matt
3rd July 2013, 01:53 PM
With Top Gear quoting him as saying "a monster rear wing" my guess is a rocket bunny kit will be installed

But you are right, there are better 86 kits out there than the Rocket bunny one.

perfect in every way.

any news on who is sponsoring?

Wonder what happening to the old hachi

Matt

Wynns will be the major sponsor, TRD , haltech you would expect to be minor ones.

I'm not saying it's not a good looking kit, but every modified 86 I see on the net is exactly the same. Look at SEMA for example. I liked the (knock-off) D-Max kit on his old 86 because it's not something you normally see.

End rant.

I find it more interesting he mentions nitrous, given that its not able to be used in Australian competitions (adgp/wta/state comps)...

I think he might well have greater plans/aspirations for this car...

willa
3rd July 2013, 08:48 PM
$100k+??

Lol what about the little guys!!

I guess it's good that this sort of money is being invested into drifting in australia though, and if he heads abroad then at least he will be competitive and represent us well.

Do you know if this was built from a factory spec car matt?

Joel looks to me like it's placed there so the lever linkages can extend rearwards to the cylinder, much like nigel's on the ute

Surprising he didn't take his ae86 to round 1 adgp

Probably because adgp is a sub average event. Mallala layout was so bland

Maybe the FA20 engine exploded spectacularly on the dyno!

Matt
8th October 2013, 05:31 PM
Unlikely would have, but guess with the announcement the car is on the dyno, and no follow up posts it could have happened.

All will be revealed at WTAC.

SprinterTRD

To stop the Rumours, The engine is fine and made good HP

As Matt said, All will be revealed at WTAC where it will be obvious for the reasons for the delay!

matt99
9th October 2013, 10:02 PM
Oh, thought the reasons that it wasn't at ADGP were common knowledge? Whoops. Was a bit upset not to at least see him out in the AE86 last weekend. Might have been one AE86 that didnt blow up and actually did well unlike me in mine. Ha.

yeah nah, you mean big expensive -ve offset rims?

spacers are used regularly, and you can change them pretty easily if the need arises


even check daigo's fd car,

i'm sure he would find it pretty easy to get "properly" sized wheels yet doesn't

Matt

We all know that well manufactured wheel spacers are perfectly safe, yet for some reason the people making our road rules disagree.

I hate using spacers puts so much load on the wheel bearings.

Jimmee1990
14th October 2013, 12:03 PM
The same could be said for wheels that would work out to be the same overall offset though, I would be using longer suspension links rather than big wheels to fill out bigger guards.

Matt
14th October 2013, 12:30 PM
I spoke to beau via facebook the other day and he said it was pretty hard to smash a car that hasn't left the dyno. Gotta give the guy credit where it is due and keeping us updated with the progress of his build.

100% this will be at WTAC , fingers x'd he has had time to iron out all the bugs first.

Matt
15th October 2013, 05:23 PM
Kinda reminds me a little of the castle hill turbo kit, being one of the first in Aus , it hit some issues. Give him time, I'm sure he will have a very reliable engine / car.

sundee
15th October 2013, 08:17 PM
I bet the motor doesn't last..
Both beau's 4a and 3s we're build by reputable engine builders.
West end performance for the 4a and Neil bates workshop built the 3sg. (From memory)

2 motors had zero issues mechanically ever!
Now we have CV performance and a snapped crank shaft..
Bet if the motor was stock it wouldn't snap a new crank..

Poor machine work and incorrect clearances and assembly I bet.

Jimmee1990
15th October 2013, 08:39 PM
Could be something simple that's been overlooked, although I have seen a "full house port & polish" smallport that was built there and every port was different... I'm sure there will be an explanation at some point anyway.

this motor is a new beast though, a 4a/3s you can literally google a troublefree and proven way to make power. someone has to push the boundaries and test what this motor is capable/incapable of.

unless of course you personally know of this workshop not being up to scratch

Yeah, apparntly no flags were put up when the ford spun or when he was doing burnouts in the middle of the track, or after when he drove on the apex instead of off the track.... stupid stuff :/

Well someone needs a good slap in the face. Fair enough the first time it happened but a 2nd time in as many years. Could of been avoided very easily.
BUT in saying that beau could of got off the gas and drove through a bit slower.

Always play it cautious when driving through tyre smoke it can save a lot of heart ache and pain.

Apparently old mate chasing beau was goi g off his head at dipshit in the falcon in the pit soon after

ae8zn6
18th October 2013, 11:44 PM
Well his car would have been munted pretty badly too. The big impact is between him and Beau.

As for easing off in tyresmoke, at that level an event I don't think you really could, there would be a lot of tyresmoke at pretty much every corner. I mean its drift, tyresmoke is a product of the sport. At any timed motorsport event you are of course right, and from the look of things the Falcon driver is used to timed motorsport and assumed that would be the case.

It is 100% the falcons fault, if you sat there and did a static or a doughnut on the race line at any drift practice or competition event I have ever been to you would have been thrown out on the first occurrence. Not only does it piss off the track owners who are already typically reluctant to let drifters out, but it leads to incidents like this.

And finally after he has sat there putting up a smoke screen it looks like he decides to rejoin the race line without waiting for it to dissipate a little and drives right into Beau's line.

Myles
18th October 2013, 11:44 PM
So he should, that guy in the ford should cop some type of punishment for that.....

sundee
19th October 2013, 12:48 AM
There are no marshals on that part of the track.. There was a side skirt left on the track to be smashed to pieces thru the drift shesh
Tonight, a smashed tail light and just shrapnel everywhere.. at one stage a heap of rocks.. Track never swept.

If there were no dick head falcon drivers and marshals doing there job it wouldn't have happened.

Here is a close up

Totally agree with robbo

BEAMS_86
19th October 2013, 08:00 AM
I do agree with you to a certain extent robbo, driving at that level you cant really "play it safe" and straight line just in the off chance that there is a car in the middle of the smoke but it was only a demo not comp situation. But you can clearly see by the amount of smoke in one spot some one has thought there at summernats and not at a drift comp and done a static.

im not saying it was beau's fault in any way it is 100% old mates fault for not just spinning and getting out of the way.

old mate falcon wont get any punishment, 90% of the reason I didnt go this year ( I have been every year ) is because the event is run like shit with crappy organization.

Mirko

Those guys could hit up the organisers liability insurance for sure. The crash was caused by negligence.

No yellow flags and that car had been spun out for quite some time

This crash at World Time Attack 2013 with Beau Yates and Anthony CeeCee should have been avoided.

Interestingly - Motec m150 ecu only using the port injection for now.

Running - 30 series garret at 22-24psi on E85 and went for a dry sump again cos his 3sgte ran one.

Gearbox is - Tractive : rd906

SprinterTRD
21st October 2013, 04:58 PM
"Interestingly - Motec m150 ecu only using the port injection for now."

Thats because it was not used with the other ECU. Drive by wire was also taken off.

MoTeC have a software package for the M150 that will replace and run the GT86.

sundee
21st October 2013, 07:43 PM
Was devo to see, car has some history with beau so he wants to salvage it.
Fellas foot got Jammed between the throttle pedal and firewall... So she has a long way till it's back in any running state..
He does have the spare FT86 shell... So who knows.
Id really like to see the beams back in a Hachi shell better then ever.

Beau is hugely impressed with the Ft86, the traction and acceleration is apparently amazing, even when spinning the treads.

Matt

Im surprised haltech struggled, given at last years WTAC they had an 86 running with their ecu

Myles
21st October 2013, 08:27 PM
Yeah they had it running, but maybe they had problems trying to make big power with their ecu (the haltech ecu worked fine on a stock motor)

Possibly piggy backed onto the OEM ECU so it wasn't actually controlling everything.

yes, but they said lock exhaust and just run vvti on intake, its not the right way to do it, so they where given a deadline to make a solution they came up with basically a "splitter box" to make 2 outputs 4, by then a motec was getting wired in

Matt
23rd October 2013, 11:33 AM
NO Drive by wire either...

Jimmee1990
23rd October 2013, 11:42 AM
Getting rid of drive by wire has a purpose, as you will struggle to achieve to same throttle reaction electronically. Getting rid of the VVT is just plain stupid however.

Matt
23rd October 2013, 12:15 PM
^^ Agree.. Unless the cams are stupidly large and can't run with it, but even then in my experience you lose power across the board + allot of torque.

SprinterTRD
24th October 2013, 08:36 AM
Getting rid of drive by wire has a purpose, as you will struggle to achieve to same throttle reaction electronically

Not at all, While some OEM systems feel slow MoTeC DBW is not. There are many advantages to having DBW especially with sequential shift. Traction control, automatic throttle blipping on gearchange ect.

Fly by wire can be a very usefull when tuned right!

mu question is why not keep the standard ecu and use the ecutek crack? They are amazingly tunable. He could still run both injections and keep vvt!

Matt
24th October 2013, 10:52 AM
Given the relationship with previous relationship with Haltech I understand why he was keen to stick with them. His ae86 ran faultlessly for years.

And once you chop out allot of the factory loom, it would be a bitch to put it back in again.

How can they be dirty about it? They sell a product not designed to do the job it was required to do. Sponsorship or not it's pretty ordinary.

That said it's been known for sometime the haltechs will only control the inlet cam, so surprising they were involved to begin with unless they promised something they couldn't provide in time.

Either way this car has a far superior bit of gear now, give anyone the option between motec and haltech. Motec will get the nod every time!

Matt
26th October 2013, 04:33 PM
That's fair, plus you don't want a comp car running unproven code on the ecu either.

It was common knowledge about the haltech ecu being dumped but kept hush hush in the engine blowing up

No one wants to advertise their failures, especially at the power levels that the engine had. It would be bad PR for all involved, Toyota, engine builder, Engine tuner & MoTec.

Qualified first and skipped to final 16 that's all I know

Matt
9th December 2013, 12:02 AM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xWxJvofY78

Levi clarke knocked him out of the final 16... He also spun in front of him and levi made contact destroying the rear passenger side suspension.

ae8zn6
9th December 2013, 12:47 AM
Yeah, Levi didn't really knock him out as such...

Beau overcooked the transition into the last corner of the judged section which caused the car to spin, as he was the lead car he copped a hit in the rear 1/4 which well and truly knocked the car out of alignment. As such he wasn't able to get the car going again within 5 minutes and was forced to forfeit the second battle.

I had the chance to have a good conversation with Beau later this evening, it sounds like he has really been working his nut off to get this thing going and that, whilst certainly helping, the sponsors are hardly making this car for him. Apparently he has literally been sleeping on a mattress in the back of his hilux parked at the workshop. Sounds like his days have been getting up early to get to his job, working a 12 hour shift, driving back to the workshop where he continues on the car until 2 or 3 and then doing it all again...

Barbs really is a terrible track to be having a full speed shakedown of the car, because when things like this happen they happen at super high speed. Give the man some seat time and I think he will dominate the podium

Matt

Adgp won't ever be best Australian comp.

Drifting is getting bigger and bigger. 5 years it'll be massive

it has been around properly since 2004 so almost 10 years....and its not changed much, more people having a go for sure,

but bigger? maybe in QLD? it used to be bigger in SA when it was 'new' and people were curious about it

mallala used to have packed stands and now half full at best

maybe because there is twice as many events and it is over saturated

I am not sure, but it struggles to be taken seriously which is why major sponsorship maybe harder? (it is for all motorsport events)

Im not at all anti drift - doing skids with your mates is awesome

but to me competition drift will always be to motorsport what

20/20 is to test cricket, UFC is to boxing - maybe more popular, but ultimately over glorified, and lacking all the elements and in turn the respect of the traditional format and tailored to appeal to younger audiences.

So to me, Beau, with his talent, a car of that level seems wasted on drift.

Skylar
10th December 2013, 02:29 AM
I haven't read a single thing about the build since, well, I don't really have much of an interest in cars. But I sorta walked past the car through the pits on sunday and had a quick look hoping to see it later at some 86 dudes meet up. Car is built real good. No complaints from me which is unusual because I complain about everything. It moves well but drives like a typical 86 and the suspension needs work to make it less snappy on the switchbacks. After seeing it drive, was very surprised that he managed to get TQ with an untested car, first time out in a comp.

Was way cool hanging out with Beau and talking about his (new) 86 and 86's in general after the event. Super nice guy and very passionate. I'm very appreciative of him to come and spend 3 hours or so, in the cold, with the 86 club here. Thanks Beau!

I could not agree more, I feel as if it is still seen to most as young people 'having fun' as opposed to an actual serious motor sport, it does deserve more recognition but like you said, very overglorified

Matt
11th December 2013, 09:12 AM
Part of my issue with it is the subjective judging , traditional sports you have a clear winner. The big $$$ are in 20/20 so I can see the same happening in drift. Just need someone with renewed passion to run it

AJPS
11th December 2013, 03:27 PM
that raises another point - 20/20 cricket has been used to discover some talented test crickets - or those that show enough potential/talent can adapt,

perhaps drift could be used for people to get noticed and then get wild card entries in the the '5 day event' a rally, test crickets equivalent....

although the wide flat tracks of australia are a far cry from conditions you would encounter in a forest etc

for me... the thing that makes Drift comp rubbish in AU is the judging/commentary.

The judging of each run takes decades!
The commentators suck balls! they are bland and lack any enthusiasm.
Ever been to nitro circus? OR just ever watched D1 japan?

if you cant see the difference there is something wrong with you.

i love drift to death, i think it can support itself and be recognised in AU, but every time i watch a comp, i wanna go home because as i said:
1. the commentary bores me to death - they don't do there job, which is generating excitement and getting the crowd pumped.
2. the judging of each run takes a decade!!!
3. number 2 means there is at-least 5 mins between each run
4. number 2 + 3 = are you fucking serious?!, im getting some food!

Delazy
11th December 2013, 09:59 PM
Drifting for me has peaked...crowds within the Tassie scene peaked 3 years ago and steady decline since then...it's much the same in Adelaide to my knowledge...

I'm guessing that they wanted it thick enough that the top of the shock won't foul on the chassis if they adjust it all the way out. You have to remember that even in the last photo it is still just a test fit, so there is nothing sticking up from the rosejoint.

It's hard to guess with j motors. Wouldn't be surprised if they want 500-600 hp.
Hypertune make some really nice parts

wondering if/why Toyota would let him do that... I kinda figured a good part of the reason they sponsored him and brought him along to events was because the car had the original power plant in it

The contract stated he had to retain the factory engine for the first year. Engine has been sold.

Unfortunately Beau was absent from this weekends ADGP round in SA because the car wasn't ready. It was a rather ambitious engine swap with a very tight time frame. You have got to Beau credit for being in the crowd cheering on his fellow mates.

Got to feel for the guys at hypertune who put together this amazing engine bay , there work is second to none. Mitch and the boys should hold their head high as many many hours have been put into this thing.

I like the asymmetric design on the piston skirts that JE is doing now, be interesting to see what sort of life they're getting out of them.

Is Beau still using the electric steering rack or is he using a custom hydraulic rack?
