Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 31 Monster-level event talent

"I learned about the partial-time ignition system on the Internet."

Chen Xiangbei casually replied that it was a good thing that there was the Internet to take the blame, as people could just throw the blame on it for anything that couldn't be explained clearly.

Facing Chen Xiangbei's answer, Liang Chi looked at him meaningfully.

Talent can be innate, but a lot of knowledge and habits need to be learned.

Can Chen Xiangbei really learn so much just by relying on the Internet?
However, he didn't have time to delve into where Chen Xiangbei learned this from. Instead, he pointed at the auto parts on the ground and continued to explain the functions and performance changes of their modifications.

"I've told you before that the overly long exhaust manifold on this EJ20 engine will cause turbo lag. It might not be noticeable when you and Qin Lianjie are racing downhill, but on a racetrack, and your opponent is Han Han, one of the top drivers in China, the acceleration out of the corners will be huge."

"I plan to change the layout of the turbines inside the engine compartment so that the exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold can enter the turbocharger faster. At the same time, I plan to use the extra space to strengthen the engine intercooler so that it can withstand the high-intensity driving on the track."

After saying this, Liang Chi pointed to the shock absorbers on the ground and said, "The roll is very large when cornering at high speed on the track. The compression stroke of ordinary springs is too long, so short springs must be replaced to maintain the stability of the car body."

"This is a TEIN SF coilover suspension system brought from Japan, and paired with electronically adjustable damping, it will greatly improve the adaptability to the terrain."

Chen Xiangbei participated in rally competitions in his previous life and is familiar with some rally modification brands.

The word TEIN is translated into Chinese as "天御", which is considered to be a big brand of Japanese suspension, and is famous for its durability and flexibility in adjustment.

The main reason Liang Chi took into consideration that Chen Xiangbei's ambition was not touring car racing, which meant that this Subaru Impreza might not have many opportunities to go on the track, so there was no need to completely modify it towards a hardcore racing suspension.

The applicability of electronically adjustable damping is wider. Even if you don’t race on the track, it is more suitable for daily commuting or driving on the streets.

"The only thing left is the enhanced clutch, AP Racing racing calipers, Apexi air intake, etc."

"And remember, kid, tuning the car is a long process. If you want to tune it well and catch up with the race against Han Han, you must participate in the test drive throughout the next period of time!"

There is a similar plot introduction in the movie "Initial D". If you want to adjust a car with perfect balance in all aspects, a hidden master like Fujiwara Bunta, who is at the level of a sweeping monk, will need to spend at least a month.

And Ryosuke Takahashi, played by Edison Chen, even said that he would need half a year.

In addition, Fujiwara Bunta’s own car is the fifth-generation Subaru Impreza!

In his previous life, Chen Xiangbei was a karting formula racer, so to be honest, he is not very familiar with street car modification.

But the concept of racing car tuning is universal, which is nothing more than making the car faster and making the driver more comfortable.

If the driver doesn't try it himself, then how can he adjust it according to the ghost's driving style?
"I see."

"Since you understand everything, let's get started."

Liang Chi didn't waste any time talking. His old friend from Donghai had already offered his help and arranged for Han Han to run a race with Chen Xiangbei at the Haizhu International Circuit.

There is less than a month left to modify the car, but the vehicle he has to compete against is a true racing-level vehicle. Chen Xiangbei must demonstrate amazing talent and adaptability to have a slim chance of victory.

At least from Liang Chi's perspective, he couldn't imagine how Chen Xiangbei, a high school student, could win the national touring car championship on the track.

But soon Liang Chi began to doubt his previous thoughts and cognition.

No, it should be that he is beginning to doubt his life.

For the next period of time, Chen Xiangbei came to the repair shop almost every day to modify and test drive the car. The learning ability and talent he displayed were almost like a "monster".

Liang Chi is not a man who has never seen the world. When he worked at Huasai Sports, he came into contact with China's top Formula One drivers, including Cheng Congfu, who was known as the "Chinese racing genius."

However, Chen Xiangbei's test drive speed at night has achieved the smoothness of speeding on the track.

Furthermore, Liang Chi could clearly sense that, due to the constraints of street safety driving, Chen Xiangbei hadn't completely let go during the test drive, meaning his control and speed could be improved! To verify his idea, Liang Chi specially chose a quiet time at night and asked Chen Xiangbei to run a trip to Nanyun Mountain to test his speed, and secretly turned on the timer on his phone.

He wanted to see how long it would take Chen Xiangbei to run at full speed up Nanyun Mountain.

This time, Liang Chi took a motion sickness pill in advance, for fear that Chen Xiangbei would do something fancy and make him ignore his control and speed.

In the end, Liang Chi still vomited...

But before he vomited, he finally saw clearly Chen Xiangbei's skills that were comparable to, and even surpassed, those of professional drivers.

For example, the ultimate line routing, silky drift, perfect coordination between gas and clutch, precise shifting, and control of the APEX point (center of the bend), etc.

More importantly, after Liang Chi got off the car, he glanced at the stopwatch on his phone.

4 minutes 53 seconds 79!

You have to know that this Subaru Impreza is only a semi-finished product, and going downhill is not so important for horsepower, but more for the driver's control skills.

It’s just like the saying goes, going fast on the curve is the real fast, and who doesn’t know how to step on the accelerator on the straight?
If Chen Xiangbei drives the modified Subaru Impreza, he can run the Nanyun Mountain Road in under 4 minutes and 50 seconds!
I'm afraid that if this record gets out, the entire Guangzhou and Shenzhen street racing world will go crazy.

The title of Nanyunshan's God of Cars will never change hands again!

No wonder Qin Lianjie lost so sincerely. I guess he felt that he could never catch up with Chen Xiangbei, so he didn't have the slightest desire to win.

Of course, Chen Xiangbei didn’t know what Liang Chi was thinking. He just felt sad that this old man was taking the express train for the second time, so why did he still vomit?

……

Time passed day by day, and it was November.

Chen Xiangbei had a very "fulfilling" life in the past half month. On the one hand, he had to cooperate with Liang Chi to modify and test the car, on the other hand, he had to prepare for the school's monthly exam, and finally, he had to insist on physical training. It can be said that he squeezed every bit of energy out of his body.

However, this feeling of overdraft made him feel as if he was back in his previous life when he was driving a Formula One car, and he was giving it his all back then just like he is now.

At the same time, with the end of the monthly exam, the head teacher also decided to "relax the benefits", that is, Han Han will come to the school to give lectures tomorrow, and has also prepared hundreds of autographed books.

The news naturally caused a cheer in the class. Fatty Wang came over and asked softly, "Xiangbei, will Han Han really run a race with you?"

"Uncle Liang said he's done it. That old pervert shouldn't be so frivolous as to fool around with such things."

When it comes to serious matters, Chen Xiangbei still trusts Liang Chi more.

"Then can you really outrun Han Han?"

Wang Yidonggang knew that Chen Xiangbei had been frantically modifying and testing the car recently. Although he had outperformed Qin Lianjie on the Nanyun Mountain Road, it had already proved this kid's strength.

But when Wang Yidong thought about racing with the champion driver on TV, he always felt a sense of unreality. It seemed like he was with Chen Xiangbei every day. Since when did he become so awesome?

"can."

Chen Xiangbei will never give an ambiguous answer to the question of winning or losing a race. Drivers must have this absolute confidence.

Fearing your opponent is equivalent to losing.

At the same time, just like the famous saying of the racing god Senna, no driver races for second place, victory is the only goal to pursue!
