Duy's car is a beast! Supra slayer :D

[GTSLOW]

Now thats a supra motor put to good use.




That same engine in a supra would equal 10.0+ :gay

[CPonyGo]

wow- that is friggin awesome

[70challenger452]

is anyone else really not all that impressed by low 8's? I guess I've just been around drag racing too much too be in amazment by a time I've seen plenty of N/A cars run.

Edit: Yes, I'm a hater

[CPonyGo]

I guess since I haven't come close to those times..I kinda respect the amount of work that goes into any car that does well...and I have been hitting the track for 35 of my 50 years...lol

:rolf:rolf 8.1 @ 171mph yeah thats weak what was i thinking :goof

[70challenger452]

I'm just saying, 8's just isn't setting the world on fire like the import crowd makes it seem like

[CPonyGo]

oh I agree with that statement..take the same money and...you bet

[scaleracer]

That's one Bad import I wouldn't mind having! :headbang

[Flicktitty]

oh I agree with that statement..take the same money and...you bet

true, but christ if i had a doller for everytime i saw a 10 second mustang i would be able to buy that car.

No credit where it is do. to start with this Swap is still very odd and not many people have pulled it off. Let alone to be the fastest 95-98240sx in the US. this car was built RIGHT not some hackjob but it's ok i geuss some people are just stubborn?

[HY35F2T]

Not to mention to me looks like its got full interior not no dragster with a 300lb frame.Thing prolly weighs what 2900lbs.

im with you, i bet that thing is close to 2200 lbs, theres true street door cars with full interior and stock syle suspension going faster then that. then you got your dad going 6's in a door car :headbang plus the guy wants 35K for that, what a joke, you can go 8s for half that, maybe less

[Silver86]

wow!

[Cjburn]

They make over 1625 horsepower with only 209 cubic inches. That's ******* impressive, period.

[T-Bag]

So much supra hate. So you're taking an import motor and putting into...another import....which doesn't look nearly as cool as a supra imo.

Gay.

[twicks69]

Wow, all the shit talking in this thread.

Flick, nice find, it is a very impressive piece of engineering. Well worth the investment IMO -- I can understand what it takes on making big numbers out of small displacement motors, and then putting the power to the ground efficiently.

Each person is going to have their own opinion about the money being "well spent", but until the people who are bitching actually do it for themselves, and learn what the investment is really worth, then they will understand why the price is fair for the result.

It isn't a Mustang. It isn't a V8 -- it is well-put-together 3.4L V6 being done properly. Again, how many guys on here have built and funded a 8.1-second @ 171mph street car on here?

None. (edit -- 1 person)

Ask the guys that have gone the fastest on here, and how long it took them to get there, along with the money, and blood, sweat, and tears invested.

[CPonyGo]

like I said..haven't touched or come close to that but appreciate the time/investment..my engine builder campaigns a pro stock? firebird and is in the upper 10 of points and is pushing a 300 cu in through the traps NA in 8 secs at 12000 rpms...lol- wow

[UnderPSI]

Again, how many guys on here have built and funded a 8.1-second @ 171mph street car on here?


Bobby Grasch.....


That car seems like a gigantic waste of money. I guess if you had one of everything else it would be fun to have.

[Flicktitty]

FYI, that car STOCK weighs 2753. Now think, They took out the 2.4L 4cyl. And put in a 3.4L I6cyl. Took out the stock tiny rear end and put in a bigger skyline rearend. They car has a 8pt. Cage. a "lightweight" drivers seat and no passenger seat. That car has a BASIC off the shelf $1000 coilover on it.

I really don't understand how people can say it's Junk or dumb.

Idk, Maybe it's just me but a 7 second capable 170+mph car is pretty damn impressive when it still loooks like a street car.

And 35K? how much does a LOW eight HIGH seven second second street 1995+ Mustang,Camaro,Firebird?

[cool_kat]

That car looks amazing. I remember when it use to be a ka-t under that hood.

[oneslowcamino]

I must say that I like the car, I can't say that I have seen to many 240's with 2jz's in them and I am impressed with 1,625BHP out of a 3.4L. I would not spend 35k on it, but someone took a lot of time and money to make the car look nice and clean. When it comes to customizing cars/trucks my theory has been that you should build it the way you want and not for what other people want.

Tim, FYI its an Inline 6 just like the Cummins no V-6 :thumbsup

But, for anyone who thinks thats slow, the car has 7.9's in it, but no worth breaking parts to try and do it. To make a 171+ mph car with a Sub 4Liter motor is damn impressive. I dont care what it weighs, what it looks like, what kind of money it took ect Its a bad ass car.

the HP is impressiove for the displcement, but there is well over $35K into that car, theres Bone stock bottem ended Trans ams going 8s with maybe 4 grand into them..... I just cant see spening all that money when you can accomplish the same thing for way less.

[rally_scort]

i would have put the drivetrain in an escort wagon instead :drool:

i wanna see proof of that, any TA that i know's bottem end can take 600-500ish and that isnt enough to make it into the 8's???

I'm not saying the car is slow, it's faster than anything I own, not faster than everything I've driven but thats beside the point, I respect the amount of work and enginering that went into the car, I just don't see low 8's as all that impressive considering the amount of money that has gone into that car

I totally understand what your saying, and i agree to an extent. But with that being said, why would someone buy a Viper that is $60+k that only runs an 11? Hell i could of built 2 7second cars for that kinda money?

Or why would someone spend the money to twin turbo a C6 Z06 when with heads and cams it already goes 9's?


Because its different. Im not sure why everyone on forums these days (and i frequent about 9 so ive seen this on all of them) guys jump right too "but this is faster" or "that is a lot of wasted money" or whatever. I think guys are loseing sight in the fact we are all in this together. We Love cars/ We love racing/ We love going fast. Again, i dont care what it looks like, what color it is, if its still in primer, if its NA/Supercharged/Turboed/Sprayed, idc! If its going fast im a fan :headbang

it says how much hes got into it in his magazine article in car craft, and of that 4K or so, almost all is in chassis work

I know this, the car craft article is much shorter, they did a 2 page write up on it.

[70 cutlass 442]

lets not forget either guys, that supra motor has two power adders, if that was anyone on here you guys would flame him when ever they would post!!!

[LIZMO]

They spray that 240sx for .8 seconds .8 SECONDS Not even 1 damn second lol and your complaining about it.

And No offense anyone can build a Junkyard car (Trans am you posted) Like his thread stated "HOW LONG TILL IT GRENADES" :durr He built the car to go as fast as **** for long enough to make a few passes and some how the car still runs/ran. I mean throw XXpsi into any car or a XXXshot of nitrous into any car and it will run a number a few times. This car is pretty much bullet proof. NOTHING but the best and most money parts were put into this car. Not some Hillbilly that wanted to make a Trans am go fast.

Also, From the little i read in that thread it sounded like HE FABBED all this shit on that car = NO $$$$ Just alot of time.

after going 9.37@150! Best power number was 738 whp @ 25 psi and a 75 shot of NOS So this car goes 9.3 Not 8.1 Makes 1400WHP not 740WHP what 25PSI on the T/a where hte 240sx is what 40psi, And not to mention that T/a is still 21mph behind that 240sx. And last time i checked a 8.1 second car is a whole new monster compaired to a 9.3 car. Just my opinion though. You say it's a waste of money? Ok that's your point of veiw. But this car is bulletproof like i said you won't have to worry about much on this car. Or worst come to worst you want to go faster your $3,500 away from EASY 7's. Sell that GT47-88 and get a GT55-91 And there ya go. GOOD AS F'N GONE!

I geuss i just see this car as a complete package, not a ugly IMO mid early 90's T/a or a stripped out fox body with more nitrous then you know what to do with.

[flyin_blue_egg]

couldn't have said it better....this thread right here proves that a lot of V8 guys are afraid of getting their asses waxed by a V or I6.

Anyone noticed that in the videos on ebay, who ever is driving that thing sits at the light for up to 5-6 seconds.


If I was racing him in the first video with my low 13 second car I would have beat him across the line!


$hitty drive IMO :D

You do have several good points, however, what i am trying to say is you can get so much more bang for your buck with doing a different setup, i never once said that 1400 HP is not respectable, that is a huge ammount of power out of a small motor. All i am saying is unless you have some fetish with thoes cars, or thoes motors, the ammount of money payed to make that car go that speed is way more then a traditional 8 cyl


couldn't have said it better....this thread right here proves that a lot of V8 guys are afraid of getting their asses waxed by a V or I6.

not at all, and if i do loose to a built 4 or 6 cyl ill just know they have probably 3x the money or more into their car then mine

[Berettaspeed]

i know alot will hate me for this but auto=gayness for a race car.

otherwise it would be nice with regular tires!

[T-Bag]

I wouldn't use the word bulletproof for anything putting out that kind of power. If your definition of bulletproof is completing a "season" of passes...then maybe.

There is obviously a lot of hard work put into this car, and it is very respectable....however I'd rather have that motor in a Supra.

[zerepdivad]

They should have left that motor in the supra...

2JZ powerd and #2000 with driver sounds like a blast :wooo

[WilliamZ]

It's a decent car, Id rather have a Supra over a 240 though.

[LIZMO]

You do have a point about building a V8 to do it cheaper but differant strokes for differant folks.

[Russ Jerome]

You do have a point about building a V8 to do it cheaper but differant strokes for differant folks.

Building a 8 or 9 second v-8 is VERY expensive. Hell building a
decent runner out of my 94 Impalla SS or or Trans Am was
expensive for slow cars. I spent $3000 on heads alone for
my Pontiac, more than I will have in my whole present project.

One look at a rusty old Corrola even at our tracks, an e-bay
turbo and used Isuzu truck intercoolers running 8's. Nomatter
if its Flavio's 8 second ElNino or one of those Chicago guys
there is noway they have 10g's in the whole project unless
they paid someone to build them (including car purchase).

Riiiiiiiiight cuz all anybody has to do is slap some parts together and go fast.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[70challenger452]

Going 8's can be done so much easier, I think well all agree on that

[70 cutlass 442]

i know alot will hate me for this but auto=gayness for a race car.

um, how many different non auto transmissions will hold up to that power? and when you are doing actual competition racing, while at any given point the pot may be 15 grand or more, do you really want to rely on hitting all 4 or 5 gears consistantly and accurately? you look at many high HP strip cars and you will see most are an auto.

[flyin_blue_egg]

They should have left that motor in the supra...

why the supra would prob. be a least 1/2 to 1 sec slower becasue of the weight of the car

[CobraSnake]

why the supra would prob. be a least 1/2 to 1 sec slower becasue of the weight of the car

well your bias. Plus the supra looks so much more badass.

[zerepdivad]

who cares? i'd rather have a supra than an econobox with a supra motor.

[flyin_blue_egg]

but to take a motor that doesn't belong in a car and putting it in the car is cool to me....look at i think it;s slo joe with the saturn.......he put a shit ton of work into making a saturn RWD and putting i think an LSX in it.....you can't tell me thats not cool

[jbiscuit]

its a cool car and its fast no doubt about it. Looks to have been built well...not hacked. I agree with Williamz though, I'd RATHER have this set-up in a Supra but thats just me.

Props for the find though for sure!

[WhatsADSM]

Wow give some credit where it is due...

I like how on the internet running 8s (almost 7s) is easy... yet if you glance at the top 50 BCM times there are only 2 people doing it, and I'm sure they have some serious cash in their cars.

In my book that car is bad ass. Period.
