Pushing for excellence....

Our K20C program pushes on with our attention moved now on packaging , fitment and most important efficiency of the cooling system.

There are a ton of radiators on the market some good , some not so good ...same with oil cooler kits! Our original prototype worked exceptionally well even testing it over in Australia it performed even better than expected however you our customers said you wanted another option that didn't involve modification to the brake duct or bumper.
We listened and to achieve what we think is the perfect combo is an integrated oil cooler on to the radiator , high spec cores and direct fit.

We are also working on an add on to the package for the serious track focused customers for an additional fan set-up on the driver's side with twin 9inch fans controlled by a simple Honda OEM thermal switch. Combined with our OEM billet oil cooler delete should see you not running into any thermal issues again.

TPD is proud to be working with Skeleton welding on this FL5 radiator package! Keeping the focus on NZ made and unmatched quality ❤️

Cheers 🥂

BACK THE CREW 🏁🔥

Yesterday was a tough one.
Things didn’t quite go to plan on track — but that’s motorsport.

What doesn’t change?
The team always has Dan’s back.

Fence line stacked. Heads up. Still repping the Dan Smith Drift and Thirsty Liquor & Black Bull colours loud and proud 💨

Win or lose, we roll together.
Thanks to all our sponsors friends and family that back us through the good and the bad!

We made a little joke story about it ..but in all seriousness this was a huge smash and what makes it worse is the IA motorsport BMW had a passenger on board.

Over 160kph sideways into effectively a stationary car, straight into the B-pillar of the BMW and rear quarter of the Silvia. We aren't going to comment on any of the circumstances around the crash however we do want to point out that all the safety equipment fitted to the car and on the occupants did their job and everyone walked away!

Thank you to the awesome medical crew at the track who took care of everyone and did an amazing job also.

We would like to stress the importance of not only buying the right gear but employing the right people to do things like roll cages on motorsport vehicles because if you don't you might not be so lucky.

TPD strongly recommends if you find yourself in ANY type of accident at the track to - check and replace your harnesses/seat, check and inspect your rollcage , inspect and replace your helmet and get your chassis inspected..don't leave it to chance it's not worth it over a few hundred bucks.

The group A is a clean simple look consisting of a front , sides and rear end caps for that OEM+ look....or go all in and grab the wing to match !

Enhance the new kit with a TPD OEM Bosch ECM calibration that will see you up another 20kw and 70-80nm at the wheels for some go to match the new show 🥵

After joining the I.A motorsport family originally just for tuning support and now moving into a more technical based role for the team ..either with the engine or now car setup , Issac is always charging forward and really starting to get some results with the BMW!

It has come to our attention that this individual is informing potential buyers on market place that Torque Performance Developments built this engine.

This information is incorrect and we have no records for this customer or this engine build / program.

We would like anyone who is purchasing anything like this that is claimed to be from TPD to call the shop for information as this type of sales pitch seems to be happening quite frequently to other businesses also.

Thanks
