Cicioperformance doesn't lie to his customers either. The shop was formerly known as TSM and is known for making the best streetable gtr's in existence. His shop does crazy builds with ETS's kits but takes pride in their stock turbo fold kits that are above 1500whp now and spool damn near as fast as stock and are reliable with a billet crank and billet girdle on the stock block. Without slicks or a race weight below 3800lbs they are still hitting 2.83 seconds 60-130. Trick it out with some more weight savings (keep A/C, the full stereo, and a full interior - carbon seats/dash/console/body) hitting sub 3500lbs race weight and they will go 2.5 or better in the 60-130 on the street and be daily drivable. And no you won't have to change the oil every week because you're running methanol. You can get a 1000miles or more with pump e85 before needing to change the oil. That's the fastest streetable reliable car you can have.

Getting a bit spoilt by your interviews, but it is still cool watching some of the interviewees when they realise Andre is actually asking good questions and knows his subject. With the charge cooling still being used with methanol, way I figure it is like JR - regardless of the cooling down the line, the colder you start, the colder you finish - been a bone of contention with some turbo' chaps :-) Also good you got out of him the big end bearing problem that they have to monitor, maybe a bit more info' re' clearances and oil viscosity would have fitted well with your bearing clearance video? Would it be practical/possible to simply drop the sump and replace the bearings regularly or did ring* seal/blowby or component fatigue mean a full rebuild was needed as it was not too clear if the bottom end is fully replaced during the rebuild, the implication was that it was, or if the rods, crank' and maybe other parts had a longer service life - but if you have the money, why take chances? *unfiltered air can wreak havoc on that but valves and seats are made of much, much better materials nowadays, so unlikely to be affected as much.
@hpa1016 жыл бұрын
Coming from a methanol background myself, I always retained an intercooler. There is a school of thought that overcooling the inlet charge with a methanol engine can make it harder for the fuel to go through a phase change from liquid to vapour and hence hamper charge formation and combustion. JR seems to have done the back to back testing to prove that's inaccurate though.
@donmerrigan23624 жыл бұрын
I recall about 15 years ago the dsm turbo forums, and a few others, arguing about whether or not using a cold air intake in the fender well vs stock location in the engine bay actually made any difference at all. Some guys argued that it's going to get hot during compression anyways and then cooled in the ic so it wouldn't change a thing. While others said the colder you start the less there is to cool and the colder you'll finish. In the end some logging by a few of us showed that cooler air being fed to the turbo would result in an extra lb or 2 of air per minute in the intake manifold at the same boost levels.

Those little rod bearings must go thru hell with 2000+ hp. On my 500+ hp turbo builds I would notice the big end bearing wear a bit on the straight 6s I occasionally build. I would get a 3mm burr and elongate 3 oil supply hole points. The block outlet supplying the mains, the crank mains inlet hole to the bigends and the crank big ends outlet hole. For the Holden and Falcon straight 6s I did this on it did assist. The traditional chamfering the crank oil holes is not enough imo

Its def amazing the stock VR38DETT block with proper good supporting parts like turbo and upgraded fuel can produce easily 1000bhp. But running the 1000bhp daily while being reliable is another story altogether. if the tune is off and knock occurs. You will have a cracked block and the whole block will have to be junked. Or use the wrong type of oil and the bearings will be destroyed along with the crank. Interesting the R35 they are running is the 2007-2010 gen R35. I heard the 2013-2014 GTR are the best gen for tuning.

I'm currently building an sr20 ve with a bullet engineering billet block, in a 100% street driven s15, aiming for 700whp. Do you honestly think if the engine is built correctly that it will last a long time before bearing replacement is required? After watching your video on bearing hardness comparisons between oem and aftermarket it makes me think that I would be lucky to get 30,000kms out of this car before it requires a bearing freshen up
@hpa1016 жыл бұрын
It's a tough one to answer as there are so many variables. The SR20 actually has a pretty reasonable bearing size (compared to the VR38) and 700 whp is decent power but certainly not a stretch so building this to be reliable is certainly possible The point I'll make is that if the engine is street driven then it's usually pretty hard to push the engine consistently hard on the street and hence life expectancy is extended. If you're attending every Friday night drag meeting or regularly attending track days and beating on the engine 90% of the time then your life expectancy will be less.

Yeah technology has come a long way, and also failure analysis as a result due to the data we have on tap these days. One thing you will find with these builds is that they're not chasing a number, they're building an engine and it produces what it produces, which can still be an exciting number, but that number is a by-product of the work, not the goal. Some engine builders have customers walk into a shop with a number in mind and ignore all other good advice for the build vs the vehicle's application, so it's not always just a one way street with the builder at fault either - Taz.

@hpa1016 жыл бұрын
If you check around 7:45 JR gives the details on the boost at sea level vs Airstrip attack. Essentially no, the engine wasn't making anything like 2700 whp at airstrip attack but due to the low air density it's easier to push the car through the air. The net effect is ETS actually go faster with less power compared to an event at seal level. Airstrip attack seems to be a favourite location for setting records.

@Erik Britz power management is always a challenge with any car making this sort of power and for much of the run the engine will have more power available than the track will be able to hold. Managing the torque delivery as the car travels down the strip is the key to achieving results. Stepping up the boost as the car goes through the gears and matching the boost/torque to the available grip is a key aspect to tuning this sort of car for a particular track.

No, it's not just how you drive it, it's the components. As JR points out, you cannot run steel rods if you want reliability after a certain amount of power is reached, so you have to switch to aluminium rods.

Ah yep. This is the worlds fastest GTR on the 1/2 mile. I'll try make that a bit clearer in the description :) That said I think it was the fastest overall on the 1/2 mile at some stage last year, but not for a few months at least now - Taz.
