Interesting Build - Quest For Mid 9 Second Streeter

[Martin Donnon]

Enough said.

Running in dyno pull at 20psi of boost pressure. Responding nicely

your dyno guy above is a splitting image of my brother - i shared this clip with my mates & we all had a laugh about it!

Enough said.

congratulations - 1430nm is absolutely massive!

my rb26/30 made 930nm on a dyno dynamics dyno - would it be accurate to say that your engine makes in the vicinity of 50% more torque? if so, i don't think i could even begin to imagine how this feels...

[domino_z]

not bad Martin, i was expecting the turbos to come on later in the rpm

do you feel that power loss below 3800 on the road? does it feel light switch through the midrange?

Domino, it shows to boost slower than it actually does as we needed to use a faster ramp rate on the dyno to keep full traction at all four.

In other words its not that much laggier than stock, with a massive seam of torque once its 'on'

Quite impressed with this combo actually

[Martin Donnon]

A fitting end to a superb project. Before heading back up to Northern Australia our 'Interesting Build' gets a going over by local detailing ace Hamish (Elite Finish)

Not bad considering the owner of the car told me it was goin down to you guys for a new set of spark plugs

[rooter]

expensive spark plugs! dont beleive everything he tells you. there has to be some mystery in life.

Saw this car on display on the weekend, looking good, cant wait too see it unleash down the strip! Let me know when its going to be down there Errol....

Cheers Cale

martin, as you know we have been moving and no time to drive this vehicle. have now had the extreme pleasure of driveing about 300 kilometers and the more i drive it the more impressed i am by the whole package that you have put together for us. the torque is awsome to say the least and it comes on incredibely fast and furious. i will run it in properly over the next couple of months before heading to the local drag strip. the amazing thing is that even with this package the vehicle is quite driveable. thanks for all your help in putting this all together.

[Martin Donnon]

Fantastic Errol...the car is absolutely phenomenal

[GT-R OZ]

What was the cost of the entire package? Not much change out of a 100k I would imagine.

[Martin Donnon]

You might be surprised, plenty of change to be had there....but I will let the owner chip in on this one if and when he feels like it

Make sure you let us know when it is going to the strip please errol

[domino_z]

bump

Has the owner had a chance to get some 1/4 mile results yet?

[rooter]

not yet domino as our strip is only used about every 2 months.

[domino_z]

mate do you mind putting together a list of all the components that went into your build, what brand etc more so the internals you chose

[rooter]

Martin, do you want to chip in on this one?

[Martin Donnon]

Sure will Errol. Domino, in short Rooters car is a built Trust 3.8 engine with ported heads equipped with a TD06 turbocharger kit, Syvecs management, and all the fruit to make it run good power on E85 (2000cc injectors etc.) If you want a detailed, detailed list then let me know. Its a nice tight combo, and the TD06 kit is one of our favourites, as not only does it work well, but its engineered for RHD GTRs unlike most anything from the USA (big consideration that one if you dont want to spend extra money fixing steering rack clearance issues)
