2006 Pontiac Solstice | Tony & Theresa

This is not my 2006 Bullrun Solstice. This car has been a featured SEMAcar 2 years in a row and was just recently cast on the television show"Bullrun" reality tv on the speed channel. The car was also on the setof the Fast and the Furious 4 as a background shot vehicle.

Thecar was originally built by Rick Bottom motorsports for Eclipse audioand was featured in their booth at SEMA 2006. It then was purchased byHahn Racecraft for their turbo system product development and currentlyholds the record for the fastest ecotec powered solstice boasting over440 hp and a 1/4 mile capable of an et of 11.90.

The car featuresa Hahn Racecraft Stage IV turbo system with 20G turbo. The valve trainhas been upgraded with stiffer springs and retainers to handle the 20+psi of boost on the stock 10.5:1 bottom end.

These ecotec engines have proven to handle double power gains over stock on the stock bottom end.

Thecar features 19inch Konig Privat wheels with Dunlop SP9000 rubber. Ithas 2inch drop eibach sportline springs with matching eibach upgradedsway bars. A stage IV custom clutch setup gets power planted to therear wheels and SSB Big Brakes kit boosts the stopping power.

I love these little cars. Wish we had them here instead of the S2000 and MX5. Very impressive power too. Looks like it has some very strong variable valve timing?

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
