I'd like to take some time to formally introduce FFTEC Motorsports to the community and share some of FFTEC Motorsports' accomplishments. We produce the Max! Performance Packages for the Mustang EB, VFF Single Turbo kit, VFF Flex Fuel kit and VFF In Line Fuel Pump kit for the BMW 335i, 135i and 1M, we also support and manufacture products for the Mustang EB, Porsche 996, 997, and Mitsubishi Evo 8, 9, X and Nissan GTR. FFTEC is now in it’s 11th year of business and we've grown from a 900 square foot shop with two staff members into a 8000 square foot facility with fourteen full time employees. Our goals are based around service and customer care. If our customers aren't happy, we're not happy. We choose to install only the highest quality products to ensure a high performing car that will out-perform as well as outlast the competition. We tailor our services specifically to the MustangEB, Nissan GTR, BMW, Mitsubishi and Porsche, so you know you're getting the best service possible.
We offer the following services:
-General Maintenance
-Troubleshooting and Diagnosis
-Major maintenance
-Engine Building and blueprinting
-Dyno Tuning
-Custom Fabrication
-Race Preperation
-Vehicle transportation
-Zhong Cheung. Daily driven Xtreme speed champion two years running.

Zhong strolled into FFTEC Motorsports looking for advice on his setup, and a tune. Although Zhong lives in the LA area he brings the car back to us every month or so and we spend some time going over his car, ensuring everything is mechanically sound. The results have been extremely impressive as Zhong's race car is also his daily driver, and competes with fully prepped race cars.

-Our Drag Evo has been running consistent 9 second passes for over 4 years on the same engine. Last year we lost a spark plug on a pass so we have a fresh engine in the car and ready for action in the coming months. We hope to continue to drop our times down by a few tenths this year. Our best run so far is a 9.264 at 151 MPH. This car is owned and driven by Pat B.
Here is the record 9.264 second pass.

-Sean O'Boyle/Josh Salvage. 5th and 2nd place finish at the SCCA National Auto X in an FFTEC Tuned Evo 9
Sean came to us in search of an updated tune. Due to his class specifications, we were unable to modify boost so we were a bit handicapped, but we ended up squeezing a few more ponies out of the car and cleaning up the midrange power delivery. The results came right away with impressive finishes.
In mid 2011 we were approached by Mark Arcenal of Fatlace to collaborate on building a Porsche 964. At first, we were unsure how this project would work out, but after seeing the pictures of the RWB kit that would be installed, we didn't hesitate as much. This was the first RWB Porsche to be built in the U.S. and is the fastest RWB car in the world. RWB is a German name for a Japanese company which means Rauh Welt Begriff (rough world) and the name conveys the owner Nakai's outlook of the world. Nakai has been building these cars by hand for years. Each car is built by him with no exceptions. Once we got the keys, we transformed the car to perform as well as it looks. We fabricated a custom single turbo kit, roll cage, AEM Series Two EMS, and fuel system designed to support E85 fuel. Since then, the car has become \ famous and was featured on Super Street's cover, as well as blogs such as Speedhunters.

She came in looking like this
And left like this.
She received a makeover this year, so she's a bit more understated. I'm actually a fan of the new color.

-FFTEC/Vishnu Single turbo kit (VFF600, VFF700, VFF900) for the N54 335i. The first successfully produced single turbo kit for the N54 based vehicles.
-The world's highest horsepower 335i.
-The world's fastest 335i 10.82 @132 MPH
-N54 engine and 335i 60-130mph world record holder.
-The BMW was also featured on Edmunds The Inside Line.
Just before SEMA 2011 we started the single turbo conversion on Shiv's 335i. The initial build and testing took a few months and have pushed the limits of the N54 since. After this kit was produced, we've also developed a Flex Fuel Conversion Kit and Fuel system upgrades with other products under development.
The record ten second pass.

Just for fun, here are some of our customers getting a ride in one of our Single Turbo 335i vehicles.

We also made our own video documenting the abuse the car took during that trip. Not only was it driven to Los Angeles for the test, but also to Las Vegas after the test with no mechanical issues during the entire trip. The turbo kit has since begun production and cars nationwide are shipped here on a regular basis while the turbo kit itself ships worldwide.

We also built and completed Evan's Lightning McQueen. The build of this car started because the plastic tires were worn out, and needed to be replaced. We looked into go kart rubber tires, and steel wheels. Before you know it we were cutting up the frame, welding an aluminum chassis together and converting to 24v batteries, upgraded speed controls, disc brake, and a custom front end with increased steering angle. We joked while building the car that this would be more famous than any car we've built in ten years. It's funny because that actually came true. Evan's Lighning McQueen has over 3 million views on You Tube, and has been featured on new stations world wide.
Take a look at the full build here

some photos of the car during construction.
More recently Captain Insano's 335i set a new World Horsepower Record and 60-130 record of 6.28 seconds! That's faster than a McLaren MP4-12C. This 335i is utilizing a prototype VFF 900 Twin Scroll Bottom Mount Single Turbo Kit and has proven itself producing 738 WHP and 538 LB/FT of torque. That lofty number wouldn't have been possible without the supporting modfications; Vishnu Procede Rev 3, Vishnu PWM Methanol Injection System and Quaife LSD to name a few. "The Captain" as he is known enjoys this vehicle as often as possible attending HPDE track events all over the state as well as Shift S3ctor's Air Strip Attack where in April he set the record as the fastest E92 vehicle at 163 MPH. Stay tuned as this car has more updates coming in the near future.

Mike's GTR came into the shop with 1300 miles on the clock and a trunk full of parts to install including Gotboost Intakes, HKS Legamax Exhaust, downpipes, y pipe, and SIR turbos to name a few. During a visit to the shop, Mike decided to go big. The motor was torn down and rebuilt with a set of rods and pistons from CP/Carillo and some new Kelford cams with matching valve springs were installed. Before the car was tuned and ready for track time, the transmission was sent to Jack's Transmissions for a rebuild and upgrade to handle the increased power and torque this car was sure deliver. On the FFTEC Motorsports Mustang Dyno, Mike's GTR spun the rollers to the tune of 761 AWHP and ran a 9.7 at 143 MPH.
