S15 Drift Setup

[ShadowStrikerX]

Hey everyone, I have purchased a S15 and upped the HP to about 400BHP. I have trying been trying to tune it but have failed miserably. Has anyone got any basic tips to tune it? It spins out on every corner and can't really get grip.

I could drift pretty good on Prologue but now it's a whole differrent story

I race modded mine and it seemed to make it worse. Some tunes would be sweet.

I also have a 400hp s15 spec r...

I haven't played around with the racing susp. kit yet, but with just the height/damper-adjustable coilovers even in their standard setting I find the s15 very controllable while drifting...

Just make sure to do the regular adjustments for drifting:

- n1/n1 works well
- drop suspension height by 20-30mm (varies depending on track elevation changes/ripple-strip dimensions)
- stiffen spring rates in line with height drop
- stiffen damper rates in line with spring rate

This works well with my style (enter corner slightly faster than grip-driving line, use handbrake/dirt-drop/small feint to initiate drift, couple with a sharp blip of throttle to really have the car sitting at a nice angle, balance with counter+throttle modulation)

If you have problems with initiating (too understeery) then its time to mess around with spring rate/damper/LSD F/R ratios...

I was fiddling with this car today. It has the potential to be a nice drifter. I just have yet to find the right settings.

It would be nice to have some nice settings.
