Rally Pat Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 It seems like this car is setting new records for itself every day. I have watched this car evolve all the way from 10.1 to 7.89, all on the SAME MOTOR. Its a Stock RB30DE block and crank, with an RB26DETT head, with a really big turbo. Just a plain awesome car. I suggest watching a lot of their other videos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 No kidding, it has 1400 something HP on the current setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Silly question: There's a gunshot-like sound right as the car launches. I've heard it in Supra videos as well. The only thing I can think it might be would be the wastegate dumping exhaust so the car can hook. Or am I off the mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Here is a little documentary thing about the car. Still has a full interior/glass/full street ability. Mind you, this was back when the car was just in the 9's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 No idea. Maybe someone like Kenny could answer this question... It's the tires. Seems as if there could still be a few tenths in that chassis. With the MPH it makes I would think it could ET a slight bit faster. Might be hard due to the short wheelbase, though. Car gets busy, fo sho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 God damn that is fucking sweet. I love RB engines and i love old z cars so, that is a total win in my book. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 am I the only one who doesn't care about cars like that.. I'd rather see something street-legal going that fast instead of some parachuted metal frame with two foot wide slicks. It's cool and all, but low on the wow factor to me. I don't know.. Did you miss the whole "Car is complete street legal, with a full interior and all steel panels and glass windows on street tires?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Did you miss the whole "Car is complete street legal, with a full interior and all steel panels and glass windows?" Street legal, and streetable are two completely different things. There are videos of Dan Millen's car being driven in the snow to Burger King, that doesn't make it a street car.

The only thing I can think it might be would be the wastegate dumping exhaust so the car can hook. Or am I off the mark? You may be referring to the two step. This is a spool up device for stick-shift cars that can't spool on a stall like auto cars can. The two step messes with the fuel and ignition timing and causes backfires, spooling up the turbo and allowing the car to leave in full boost (if I have my facts straight). Here's an example of it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two step messes with the fuel and ignition timing and causes backfires, spooling up the turbo and allowing the car to leave in full boost (if I have my facts straight). Here's an example of it: I'm clear on the basics of two-step. But there is a *single* gunshot sound when the car leaves. As Kenny said, it's the tires apparently. I thought it might be the wastegate because that's the only thing with enough pressure behind it that might be dumped at launch. At this level of boost I wasn't sure, so I figured there might be some fiddling with the WG and BOV to get a good launch. However, I was way off the mark, and it's the tires. I'm surprised at that. I guess turbos muffle the exhaust enough so you can hear it, which would explain why I've only heard it on various Supra vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's cool, not knocking it, I'll never own anything that fast, just saying I'd rather see a 7-second foxbody or something able to go down the street to mcdonalds and back. im with you. IMHO, thats as much of a 240z as this is a cobalt http://www.teamjegs.com/images/bio_john_img2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that level, the cars that run that fast and are driven on the street don't last very long. The guy that built the last Regal I had has since moved on from V6s to an SB2.2 94mm powered Regal that has been 7.77, it ran that for about a year, now he's moving a lot of weight out of the front to be competitive. In doing so, he's also ditching the radiator so it won't be able to make much of a drive on the street. The car will still have tags and insurance, but it won't be able to be driven as it used to be. That said, there is no such thing as a tame 7 second car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just turbo cars you can hear it on, I have an AWESOME video of a Mustang leaving hard as crap on my desktop I wish I could upload. I really need to grab that box of parts from my parents. If you think the sound is awesome from the outside of the car, you should hear/feel it from the inside - you know you're on your way to a good pass when you hear that.
