TAMING THE BEAST: Tuning the Team Orange Laurel

April 14, 2011 1:32 am Published by

Kumakubo was out again today on Higashi Course at Ebisu Circuit. He was doing some more testing to the engine settings of the nitrous-assisted RB26 in the new Team Orange Laurel.

Just because the sound of it is fantastic, here’s a video that I shot today!

    Top motor, looking and sounding awesome. My 10 year old and I were watching on the webcams this morning. I told him who Nobishige Kumakubo is, all about Ebisu, the new car and shakedown runs.
    Apparentley there wasn’t enough smoke…. Kids, eh ?

    What is the liquid that appears to be pouring out of the right rear fender as the car goes around the left hand turn?

    How awesome must it be to build a car and have your own track to test it on!

    can’t say I’m a huge fan of the blow off sound but with an engine note like that who cares!

  • GrandFX says:

    Don’t know for sure but the whistle sound is the waste gate, but I love the sound.

  • Dirtytwo says:

    Damn this thing sounds so horn.. makes me want to take my new twins straight off my 26 and throw a single on!

    The ‘blow off’ sound is not a valve, it’s just the result of having no bov & the air coming back through the compressor blades.
