Two Black Beauties in the stable.

This Friday and Saturday, Titan motorsports will be participating in the ADRL Summer Drags VI in Martin Michigan, looking to extend our “3 Seconds of Fame” throughout the rest of the season. We have been running consistently in the 3 second range for our last two races, and look to hurt a few more V8 egos with some more quick passes and maybe even snatch up another win. We have a few left over tickets to the race hanging around the shop, so if anyone is interested, stop by or shoot me an email at JonS@titanmotorsports.com and I’ll hook you up. Wanna watch 186 cubic inches beat up on the big boys? Join us in Martin. We’ll see you there!

After being inducted into the Mickey Thompson 3 Second Club in April after the Georgia Drags VI, Team Titan was looking to show the world that it wasn’t a fluke or isolated incident. After a little testing and tweaking, The Crew set out to Virginia Motorsports Park for the ADRL U.S .Drags III to continue the consistently low E.T.s and hopefully nail another 3 second pass or two.

On Friday’s qualifiers, Gary White and the Scion got to work quickly posting a solid 4.008@186.23mph and setting the pace for the rest of the competitors with the #1 qualifying position. In the second round of qualifying, Gary ran a slightly more conservative run and shut down early, yet still posted a respectable 4.053 Elapsed Time. During the third round The Scion had a breakage in the burn out box but the problem was quickly repaired in time for the final qualifying session, posting a career best 3.961@186.51mph, good enough for the 2nd qualifying position.

On Saturday’s first round of eliminations, Gary laid down another 3 second run, running a 3.999@185.51 mph to edge out competitor Dwayne Wolfe. In the second round the Titan Scion continued its consistency running a 4.003@186.38mph, good enough to advance past David Hance to the third round. In round three, Gary found himself up against the always competitive Jeff Naiser. Naiser threw down a quick 4.078, but it was Gary who advanced, posting another career best with a 3.956@187.05mph. In the fourth and final round Gary and the Titan Scion found themselves up against another member of the 3 second club, Todd Moyer. Moyer had edged out Gary and the Scion during the finals in Valdosta, so the tensions were high as Titan looked to strike back. Todd was looking good, posting a fast 4.030@194.55mph, but in the end it was Gary claiming the win with his best time yet, an impressive 3.952@186.74mph!

This was a great weekend for Titan and another consistent showing for The Team, posting the quickest E.T. every round of eliminations. The win this weekend has propelled Gary White to the #1 points position for the season. With the Scion running strong, Gary White at the wheel and 3’s to boot, look for Titan Motorsports to continue making noise in the upcoming ADRL races. We’ll see you at the races!

This weekend The Titan Race Team will be making its way up to Virginia for the ADRL Speedtech U.S. Drags III at Virginia Motorsports Park. This weekend we are hoping for another successful showing, and hope to chip off a few tenths off our previous 3 second pass. If you can’t make the race, ADRL has you covered.

Need to remove a litte weight form your Supra? Removing the rear seats is a good way to shed a few pounds. Now with the new TMS Rear Seat-Delete, removing the back seats has never looked so good.

Titan Motorsports will be racing in the ADRL Georgia Drags this weekend at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Cecil Georgia. To follow the action, check out ADRL’s website where they have a section to view Race Results, listen to Live Audio, and check out the Photo Gallery, all of which will be continually updated throughout the weekend.

One of our good customers, Ebrahim Kanoo, sent us this video of his Supra dynoing in Bahrain. Some of the go fast goodies include a Motec M800 ecu, Injector Dynamics ID2000 injectors, and a 3.4L Titan Motorsports motor and S4 head.

At Titan Motorsports, we never get tired of seeing people pushing the limits of possible performance and doing whatever it takes to figure out a winning combination. Sometimes that path is the path less traveled. Take for example Jaw’s Gear & Axle’s Toyota Supra powered Mustang:

Tired of the conventional Blue Oval power, Jeff Wilson of Jaw’s Gear chose to go with a single turbo 2JZ-GTE motor for its reliability, superior strength, and enormous power potential. Jeff will be running in the SCSN event in November and WCHRA in the LT5 class throughout the season, with Titan as a contributing sponsor. With the help of Titan’s high quality race proven parts, Enterprise Motorsport’s outstanding fabrication skills, Dave Engine’s race engine building, back to back championships, Black Sheep Racing technical knowledge, and world renowned tuner John Reed, Jaw’s is ready to sink its teeth into the competition. Best of luck Jeff!

Designed specifically for high boost/high cylinder pressure applications, the new CNC Billet 2JZ-GTE piston from Titan Motorsports is the pinnacle of piston manufacturing. These pistons feature an asymmetrical design which accommodates for higher side loads. The wide skirt area on the major thrust face increases bearing area to better handle side loads related to high RPM and/or long stroke crankshafts, and the narrow skirt on the minor thrust side helps to reduce friction. The wide skirt area also accommodates proper use of the oil squirter to effectively spray into the center void for proper piston cooling. The entire piston is machined from certified 2618-T6 aluminum bar stock that has been inspected several times prior to machining. The billet design is approximately 15-20 grams lighter than the forged version and is over 30 grams lighter than most other aftermarket pistons.

Features:

• CNC Billet Design
• Asymmetrical design (only asymmetrical piston available)
• Made specifically for high RPM/long stroke applications
• Shorter, upgraded wrist pin
• Double pin oilers, for increased lubrication of the wrist pin
• Accumulator groves to help to reduce pressure between the top and second ring, aiding top ring seal and minimizing ring flutter.
• As much as 30 grams of weight savings
• Additional top and skirt coating available

The TMS CNC Billet Pistons are available and in stock now.
