Fast RB20s

[JH32]

Are there ever any R32s that cut a 12 second quarter mile?

I only ever hear of GTRs and heavily modded R33s.

[Birty]

There was one on my HPI Vid, (HPI V.2 drift and drag special) although it's been stroked, I know it ran at least a 12. I'll check later.

[Birty]

Well there ya go, it's a Red Zone car, stroked to 2.4L, with a TO4r turbo, ran a 10.02.

There's also an S13 with a CA18 ran a 10.3, anything's possible.

[adam 32]

its definately possible jimi! but i would be questioning the cars driveability on the street

[GraemeWi]

There is a R32 GTS-4 that has been in the 11's, used to be a daily driver by Rob from WAR. Chock-o-block with HKS gear.

[meggala]

I know of an r31 in japan that can cut an 11

and yes 12's are very doable in an r32 rb 20.

ben gtr came pretty close with his gts4.

there is an r32 gtst with an rb26 i qld that runs a low 11's

the bigest thing holding people with rb/20's back is you need to take the big step to run 12's injecotrs big turbo and metal head gasket. the are some strong rb20's around jsut because you dont hear of them doesn't mean they dont exist.

btw there was another from pet in melb that ran a 12.9 or so with a top speed of 120 or so

I expect dr drift here to come close to a 12 if he continues his development program on his car.

as for me I'm happy with a mid 13 unless someone wants to pay me to run faster

[Clint32]

the JMS onveia rb20 powered silvia ran a 12.2 i think, it was running a std motor with big turbo etc, the silvia would weigh about 100kg less as it was stripped out.

Their cerifio rand a 12.9 i think and that has just got a hks 2530 turbo.

The rb20 just needs a good turbo with some good tuning.

[JH32]

So would a GT2540, GT2530 or GT2535 considerably help the R32 get into 12s?

Even if the car was quick down the quarter with one of these turbos, would it still be quick off the mark at the lights?

boostmeister would be the person you should consult with.. I can see you want to build a daily drivable thats capable of 12s on track..

You might want to visit:

http://www.amkread.co.jp/

and check out some of the records... there should be a HNR32 (GTS4) with RB20DET 2.4litre T88 that ran 9.8s... You won't see any RB20DET 2.0litre cars break into low 11s or 10s as in Japan they don't use full slick tyres.

[adam 32]

jimih you can follow my progress cos thats my aim! a 12.9:P

ive got a T04E and bosch 910 fuel pump so far (along with all the other crap like exhaust and filter)

am planning injectors and a remap/new ECU but i think thatll only be a low 13sec car.... the RWD is the killer!

[JH32]

heheh Adam now you see why I want the GTS4

12's is my aim!

[adam 32]

yeh but ill be having more fun with my lack of traction:D

you should be able to pull it off, will cost some $$$ though...

[JH32]

yeah I think we'll get there in the end

[BOOSTMEISTER]

I will tell you if it is possible after September 21st at Jamboree isn't that right Meggala:D

[NIZ30]

Mine should be able to (with some traction). Best so far is high 13's (bear with me here, i'm not kidding, it should do 12's). This was on standard, near bald crappy tyres. I also missed the change to second on this run.

I was going past the 1/8th mile mark with the wheels still spinning in third gear. Got traction in 4th. I did have the highest mph for the Street class. My mph was a consistent 110mph.

I think with some traction, should do a high 12.

I got Trust TD06-20G turbo, Trust intercooler, Trust tuned length exhaust manifold. Trust external wastegate. Extra injector. Upgraded fuel pump. Running up to 1.5 bar boost.

:burnout:

[RB20LagWagon]

perhaps learning to drag race will help your time?

Foot to fhe floor is not the best way to get best times?

You dont see top fuel drivers spinning their wheels through gears and they get pretty good times.

Try applying power gradually

Saying that "Yer she was spinning into 4th" may sound like your car is uber powerful etc... but it doesnt help your et's.

[locASH]

I dont suppose you have more info in the 11sec R31 Meggala? Do you have some specs or even pics?

Thanks!

[Guest TTZ32]

Hey NIZ30, if you have enough juice to run 110mph, then with traction you should easily run a mid 12.

A few guys down here have been using recap slicks from Bigtyre in Toowoomba, cost for 245/16 is around $140 ea, and they work really well. A mate ran 11.3 @ 120mph on them.

I originally meant in street trim, without slicks

slicks = cheating

set of bfg drag radial TA's are DOT and therefore not cheating, Niz30 with his mph has a low 11 potential with these sort of tyres and a Whiteline KCA349 diff kit (only $104).
