$5000 To Get A Gtr Into The 10`s ?

[ferni]

Nope, you'd need over 400rwkw... no way a stock clutch would launch that...

<10k and you could probably do it, but the engine probably wouldn't last the night

[R31Nismoid]

why has everyone gone for twins on a 'cheap' drag setup ?

go for a big single (garrett off the shelf). injectors, map sensor PFC, clutch, exhaust and ALOT of nos. i rekon you MIGHT just scrape in under 5K, with some second hand parts

Is that before or after you include the manifold you need, then custom dump/front pipe, custom piping/hosing oil/water lines etc etc etc etc etc.

[groper]

no, just bodgey big dump and thats it, no more zorst after that!

assuming you did the plumbing yourself etc

would gts manifold fit rb26?

anyone have proof of AWKW needed for 10.99 or better?

[mokompri]

point taken

cheapie manifolds off the shelf are cheap as chips these days, and add all those extra accessories on top would still be under the cost of an extra turbo me thinks ! but i could be wrong

[Roy]

Big squirt of gas. An ECU. open pipes and a cheap RB26 manifold with an XR6 turbo with some cheap injectors. If you can weld up the pipes yourself and get soem cheap 2nd hand slicks...then strip the hell uopt of it....maybe. But why woudl you bother when for 5k you could have a nice daily driver that runs flat 12s to high 11s ?

[Swiper the Fox]

I will say it can't be done...just because if i say that some bugger will try to do it.

ill be the 1st to shake the hand of somebody who can acomplish this feat.

after a few broken engines and gearboxes they will agree with me...it can't be done.

This is a a quality thread

Is the 'donor' car going to be a genuine low miles 89 R32 GTR as well?

[DJX]

It really not even worth trying. Even if you did everything yourself, even if you got all the parts you need under 5k, you'll be very lucky to get it off the line let alone make it down the quarter. Better to put in 10-15k if you can afford it and do it right rather than waste 5k doing it wrong.

LOL

Even less chance then to run a 10 as the A/C wont work

Well said.

If this goes ahead, its likely the car will be f**ked in the process and the cost of then repairing it and doing the nessesary work to bring the thing back up to scratch will be huge.

Try and cut corners putting together a GTR and it WILL bite you in the ass, mark my words

[shanef]

u guys are forgetting school hollidays are still on!

P.S i'd suggest you pay some criminal 5k to steal you all the necessary parts, then u'll make it nooo worries!

[Omurru]

It's one thing to talk about doing this to an XR6T which I presume is what is being discussed somewhere else and someone has said it can be easily done to a GTR. But there's one difference I think were all forgetting, A GTR is actually a good/rare car and ontop of that they aren't produced anymore, anyone who even thinks about butchering one just to prove a point is retarded. I'm happy for you to try it with an XR6T cos their becoming more popular than vl's and their still rolling of the production line, hell you could probably get most of the required parts at my local supermarket......

[NXTIME]

it will not

it will fail

TO4GTR has run an 11.2@121mph still using his original 210,000km+ engine with around 310rwkw. And he doesn't baby it at all Must be a freak engine.

I pesonally don't think it can be done for under 5k. Under 10k is very possible though.

[BU5TER]

I love all the expert replies from so many people that have ran 10's, according to my cousin all his mates cars run tens its easy

hahaha fools run the times consistantly then tell us how easy it is

No one said anything about running it consistently

[BU5TER]

[BU5TER]
