RNS-11Z Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Do you think its possible to build an r33 gtr that will do 10sec 1/4mile @ 140mph on pump fuel? Im trying to get some info for a friend whose looking at building a new car that will go 10sec or quicker yet run 140mph or close to it all on 98 pump gas. So far he is looking at the 2.8l stroker, usual mods, head work cams, proper fuel set up. Turbo he is looking at the new turbonetics GTK1000. I know its abit of a hows it going question but any information would be help full. Those who have run 10sec passes could you list your mods and times and mph.

craked Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) i will be trying it in the next couple of weeks at wsid with r33 gtst Edited May 26, 2008 by craked Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3895834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFENSV Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 sure he doesnt want to run a 9 with 140 mph?? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3895836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T04GTR Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 yeah. i think russ, aka giant runs a 10 pump fuel i think. 450rwkw~ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3896064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblitz Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 My car ran a 10.5 on race fuel at 440awkw, its running on 344awkw on pump fuel at the moment, might take it for another skirt and see if i can get into the 10's on pump fuel. (Full street trim as well). Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3896111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTR Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) A 10 in a GTR on pump should be a walk in the park. Giants is a good example of a 400+ track car doing a 10 on it.

unique1 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 i reckon 10s on pump would be easy, i dunno about 140mph though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3896269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Why limit yourself to pump fuel? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3896278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNS-11Z Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Why limit yourself to pump fuel? he hasnt got much aCCess to c16 or so. I know tens in a GTR is doable how ever, what about say hi 9s at 140mph? for some reason his goal is to hit 140mph down the 1/4 on pump fuel at what ever quickest time.

GTR1993 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) How do you not have access to race fuel but have access to a drag strip? I see the good points to pump fuel, but a good fuel will really unlock HEAPS of power.

RNS-11Z Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 gtr1993: if i were to explain it all, you still wouldnt understand. race fuel will be and is much better then pump fuel. its a proven fact. some people like to play with hand granades and push things to the limit such as on 98.

monga Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Bobbo here in WA ran 10.2 at 122mph with T76. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3896906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brockas Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Bobbo here in WA ran 10.2 at 122mph with T76. The low MPH is because he missed 5th gear and coasted across the line. The car had 672rwhp and was running a T88-34D with a HKS 2.8L and HKS H-Pattern Dog Box (pump fuel, no NOS).

Swiper the Fox Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) he hasnt got much aCCess to c16 or so. I know tens in a GTR is doable how ever, what about say hi 9s at 140mph? for some reason his goal is to hit 140mph down the 1/4 on pump fuel at what ever quickest time. i run high 9's on Sunoco fuel @ 139.6MPH...but im holding the car in 3rd gear so i dont MPH quicker, 9100rpm in 3rd = 139 MPH this not only affects MPH but obviously the ET as well. reason for this is i have no parachute and dont wish to be logged by ANDRA stewards for breaking 140 Cars engine is so efficient it only produces 30 more KW on Sunoco than with BP98..so the statement that "race fuel unlocks HEAPS more power" is not correct, it depends how efficient or inefficient the engine is. A less efficient engine will see more of an increase with race fuel. Race fuel in more efficient engines is generally run for safety and a bit of tuning "headroom" (this is the only reason we run sunoco). so with parachute fitted and pulling 4th gear with pump fuel id say its more than possible to run 9's @ 140 on pump.

GTR1993 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) How much more ignition timing do you run from BP to sunoco? when i tried BP to Elf turbo max i could easily run 15 degrees more. As you would know simply switching to race fuel does nothing, but gives you the opportunity gain the extra power.

As you would know simply switching to race fuel does nothing, but gives you the opportunity gain the extra power. wont quote our timing figures but only ever run up to 6 deg more on race fuel. we still make massive power and run the numbers at the track for the set-up we have. Also have only ever broken 1 engine (oil pump failure) and that was due to over revving and ignition cut rev limiter....not tuning Edited May 27, 2008 by DiRTgarage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220953-10sec-14-mile-140mph-r33-gtr/#findComment-3898764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
