Formula-D USA, Hiroya Minowa placed 2nd @ St. Louis!

RSE/TOMEIUSA supported driver, JYR Hiroya Minowa, who is just 14 years old, and his teammate Kazuya Taguchi participated in the 5th Formula-D USA held at the Worldwide Technology Raceway in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, from Friday, July 19th to Saturday, July 20th, 2024.

 Together with teammate Kazuya Taguchi, he
is competing in the ZN6 body equipped with the TOMEIUSA/RSE VR41 stroker engine
with 274 camshafts, armed with an engine that offers outstanding torque, power,
and durability.

 Hiroya beat Dan Burkett with JZA80 Supra in
the Top 32, then won against Taylor Hull with Corvette C6 in the Top 16.
  In the great 8 Hiroya then beat Adam LZ with
BMW E36, then won a victory over three-time series champion Fredric Aasbo
withGR90 Supra in the Top 4.
  And was
finally defeated by James Deane with Mustang in the final. Still, Hiroya missed
his chance in a close battle to take second place on the podium! After five
races, he has risen to fourth place in the annual rankings.

 Get ready for the sixth race! The next race
will be held over two days, from August 9th (Friday) to 10th (Saturday), in
Seattle, Washington. It’s a chance for Hiroya to shine again!

You can watch the race live for free on the
Formula-D website, so grab some tacos and beer and come cheer him on! We also
look forward to his teammate Kazuya Taguchi’s great performance.

Thank you everyone for your attention and support.

HOW IS YOUR TIMING BELT?

OEM timing belts were never intended for use with tuned engines!

Replacing worn or stretched timing belt might just save your engine!

COMPARISON : TOMEI vs OEM

TOMEI TIMING BELT FEATURES

The Nissan and Subaru belts have matching marks similar to those on the OEM belts, allowing the user to check the position of the belt in relation to the cam pulley and crank pulley correctly when installing the belt.

Hiroya Minowa Finished in the final top 32 at Formula-D USA Round 2!
Looking forward to the next race! May 10th (Friday) – May 11th (Saturday), 2024

JYR Hiroya Minowa, a 14-year-old driver supported by TOMEIUSA/RSE, participated in the second round of Formula-D USA held at Michelin Raceway in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
TOMEIUSA/RSE VR41 kit equipped with 274 degree camsTogether with his teammate Kazuya Taguchi, JYR has two cars this year.  Both drivers are competing in an 86/FRS/BRZ chassis, equipped with a VR38-based VR41 stroker kit with 274 duration camshafts, making it an engine with outstanding torque and durability.The exhaust systems on both race cars are beautifully designed JYR’s original, made of full titanium material from TOMEIUSA/RSE, providing not only power but excellent sound.

Round 2 was an impressive Best 32 finishIn the first race, Hiroya finished an amazing 8th place, which gave him the right to advance to the finals in the second race!  Unfortunately, he had a tire bead break in the BEST32 final, and the race ended there, but his performance was so powerful that he surpassed other top drivers in terms of quality, speed, and angle.

The 3
rd race following is in Florida!  The race will be held over two days from May 31st (Friday) to June 1st (Saturday) on banked and angled circuit course at Orlando Speed World in Orlando, Florida, USA.Everyone can watch the race for free via live streaming on Formula-D website, so please grab your pizza and beer and show your support.  This will be Hiroya’s first attempt at a banked course, so we think it will be spectacular.Please look forward to the performance of Hiroya Minowa and his teammate Kazuya Taguchi.

ALL NEW 0.5mm OVERSIZED FORGED PISTONS

ALL NEW 0.5mm OVERSIZED FORGED PISTONS

All New
0.5mm OVERSIZED PISTONS!

Wide variety of applications
from overhaul to increasing displacement

We have recently added a new bore size to Tomei’s forged piston series, which has received very high praise from engine builders and engineers at tuning shops in Japan by RSE and around the world. The new bore size is oversized by 0.5mm. This is a smaller size compared to our current 1.0mm oversized lineup. For example, RB26’s standard bore size is 86.0mm, and Tomei’s current piston bore is 87.0mm. This time, we have added 86.5mm pistons, which are oversized by 0.5mm from stock. Due to the smaller bore, the displacement is slightly smaller at 2598.6cc for the 86.5mm model than the 87.0mm model’s 2628.7cc. Still, it is very difficult to obtain new cylinder blocks these days, so we have added 0.5mm oversized pistons for those who want to use the precious cylinder block with care and who wish to maintain block strength. Of course, those aiming for the ultimate power can still choose the larger bore of 87.0mmpistons. This time, Tomei would like to increase bore options and help engine builders realize the ultimate engine they are aiming for. At the same time as the piston kit, a new bore size has also been added to Tomei’s stroker kit. We hope that you will complete the ideal engine that suits your purpose and enjoy your car life further. 1
