i've got a mate who is a memeber of the pulsar group of australia website and he has just informed me about an n14 sss pulsar that is starting to come good in the drag curcuit here's his specs!
N14 SSS with Tomei Power!!
Hey guys and girls,

Well, I have been reading the forums here for a while and finally got a static email so I could sign up.

I got a Black 1993 N14 SSS Pulsar, with ABS & Elec' Sunroof
18" Zepter Ligare Spokes with 215/35 Hankook Ventus K104 Sports
NZ-R N1 15" Rim fitted with slicks for front(drag race only)
Slotted N14 Spec DBA Rotors
Lowered 2" on a mix-match of springs and shocks
Whiteline Strut Braces Front & Rear
Whiteline Swaybar Link & 'D' Bush Kits
Offset Lower Control Arm bushes on front (increase castor)
New Factory Black 2 Pak Acrylic Paint
C-West 'Rear Half' Wing - Meant for 180SX

Now comes the tastiest part:
SR20DE Engine Block
Oversized Forged Pistons
91mm Stroke TOMEI Full-counterweighted Crankshaft
Shot-peened SR20DET Conrods
12.47:1 Compression Ratio
Modified Block Skirts
Nismo Main & TOMEI Conrod Bearings
Light Chro-Moly Flywheel
Upgraded Exedy Clutch Assembly
Billet Alloy Engine Pulleys - Anodised Blue
SR16VE N1 Specification Cylinder Head
Custom ground camshafts to suit engine
Subtle Camshaft Timing Adjustment
Custom 4-2-1 Extractors
Tomei Quad-Throttle Body Kit
Custom Plenum made to adapt to factory Air-box
3" Metal Biscuit Catalytic Converter
3" Performance Free Flow Exhaust System
Walker Resonator + Rear muffler with dual 2.5" exit (sounds great!)

SR16VE N1 Gearbox with 'special' internals
Billet driveshafts as the standard ones break with slicks http://forum.pulsar.org.au/images/smilies/frown.gif

201Kw@the wheels, burning around 2L of BP Ultimate per minute
13.24s @ 103mph with a crap 60ft time, running 18" street tyres and without quad throttle body kit.
Naturally Aspirated ROCKS!!

I have spoken with the driver of the 12s Civic, EGK20A and he believes that with suspension and tyres sorted, I will be into the very low 12's

Yes, I am also the guy with the VET X-Trail.. Will add more here when I get it back from the workshop.

Reason for edit: Had to update work performed in the last few months.

just my opinion

Hey Yonas,
Based on the MSN conversation the other day, I was under the impression that EGK20A was still up and running. Thought you couldn't make it to Summernationals because of work commitments...

ANYWAY, I am the owner of this monster SSS and if you guys bothered to read old posts, I have posted the specs of this car MONTHS AGO. B16A Vs SR20 was the topic thread...
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29154&page=4&pp=12

Lets just say this N/A Nissan spins thru 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears with 18" Zepters and Hankook Ventus K104 Sport tyres.

The car was built for track work / hill climb events and from a 60Km/h rolling start I OWNED a a HSV Coupe 4.

The 2L per minute of fuel is based on: At 9,600rpm when 4x550cc injectors have reached maximum safe duty cycle, so about 2L per minute... Anyone disagree??

PS: DannyB, I would have prefered it if you asked for permission to post this info elsewhere, although it is already on this site. Thanks mate.

yes but everyone knows vtec+turbo=sex

and only reason ppl are dissin him is bcoz his friend is comparing it to an eg k20 with nowhere near as much done.

but i hav to give him credit for doin something noone does. so much more impressive than boosted nissan. N/A all the way!!

I can assure you all that my SR22VE cost less than a K20A motor conversion into a EG or DC2.

As far a N/A Nissan's go... what about the 200+Kw 350Z?!?! or 132Kw X-Trails?!?!

k20a + sr20xx = 4 cylinder

naa not talkin about price... its about wats done compared to the k20. we all kno k20 halfcuts are so overpriced coz of the demand

everthing u went through with ur engine it sounds tough, 201 kw is impressive but i believe the k20a will make that power with half of what you have done,egk20a had like 175 kw atw with basic mods nothing major

26-01-2006, 06:38 PM
Even though I realise the topic startic as this Nissan compared to a K20A power Honda, but isn't a B20A compared to an SR20DE a much more accurate comparison?

pillow
26-01-2006, 06:52 PM
B20A is a fair bit older than the SR20DE, also this dude has a neo vvl head (I think that's right) therefore they're totally different motors. A more realistic comparison may be a B20Z block with a VTEC head.

B20A and SR20 are both from the 80's I thought?

Anyway of course I didn't mean a stock B20A against this SR, but rather a B20 with B16 VTEC heads and similar mods.

I mean, 200+kw atw from an na 4 cylinder is quite impressive, and surely if an SR20 is newer than a B20A so it's an unfair comparison, then what about the K20A being so much newer than a SR20.

With a 91mm stroke, and 86mm bore what capacity is the engine now?

the "earlier" early 90's and 80's version of the sr20 was the CA18T(sorry if wrong ) and then the FJ20 before.

a very basic quide of displacement for 91mm bore and 86mm stroke = 2.1 litre

26-01-2006, 11:10 PM
The SR20DE's were first released in the N14 Puslars in 91. 86mm x 86mm, bore and stroke.

The closest comparison to imhappy46's motor would be the K20A.

Define basic? I find 175kw atw with basic mods very hard to believe. TODA suggest the following for 160kw:

High budget – best power delivery
#1 – Lightweight flywheel ( Or Hi-Power single clutch kit)
#2 – Heavy-duty clutch
#3 – Lower final drive
#4 – JDM Intake manifold + CAI only
#5 – Header + S2000 cat + cat-back system
#6 – Ported head / Spec C camshafts (or larger)/ valve springs/ Titanium retainers / adjustable cam gear - exhaust only / fuel pump / Forged pistons / Forged rods (For over 9000rpm) / injectors & fuel pressure regulator / ECU / dyno tuning / heavy duty engine mounts.
Nb: Additional head work that can/may need to be done includes shaving of rocker arms for cam clearance, re-shaping of valves, combustion chamber re-profiling.
Power output: 160+kw @ wheels (Dyno dynamics – shootout)
NB: Spec C camshafts, VTC function is retained.

26-01-2006, 11:31 PM
Here is list of our mods to the old egk20a :
JDM k20a type R , TWM itb , ORC clutch + flywheel , hondata kpro , 2.5 inch exhaust, DTR header.
thats it.
Dynoed + tuned by toda au

What power does the EGK20A put down anyway? In kw?

I mean, individual throttle bodies isn't really a "basic" mod...

And sure 86 X 86 is the same as a K20A but I was putting it into a year perspective. SR20 still has 10+ years over a K20A.

None the less, 13.2 quarter mile in the pulsar Vs 12.3 in the civic.
Take into account the weight difference, slicks Vs 18" Nankang tyres, and for sure the pulsar would have much taller gears than the civic. I mean just put those 18s on the civic and it would get a similar time anyway

I just don't see why people as so quick to be so defensive on Honda's behalf and demean Nissan so quickly. Honda's are great but Nissan pisses on Honda when it comes to straight line performance and I don't think you guys can handle that. I'm not saying all of you but I read some comments on Nissan being sh!t and I don't see how you guys can say that. I prefer Honda over Nissan as well, and with all honesty I am not a fan of Nissan and do think their cars are over rated but I would never put such comments down for the owner of this Nissan to read after he did such a great job.

I for one congratulate the effort of this Nissan owner and let him know I am extremely impressed with the car and respect his efforts.

Also who built the engine? Especially the cams etc?

well since it's a overall better car
that's why it's held it's value.

it's got better handling.
better creature comfort.
better in any ways well should i say except for the fuel consumption.

...
Also who built the engine? Especially the cams etc?

I have a Pulsar VZ-R SR16VE race box that was built for a JDM race car, the owner wrote the car off at the track prior to fitment and I picked it up really cheap. Changing gears at 9,600rpm and the next gear engages at 7200rpm.

I had the engine prep'd by a local, my Dad(an ex-bathurst driver and qualified mechanic) and I performed the original engine assembly. I was responsible for tuning it but was limited by factory AFM and the ECU I was using. 142Kw@treads was the 13.24second quarter. Since then, I have had some problems mechanically and also with my left ankle(broken) so not been to the track since. The engine has been freshened up with new billet cams to suit the engine and gearbox(best power between 7000 and 9600rpm), some other smal changes and a new ECU to run the ITB's. 201KW@treads is the new baseline and I am FULLY aware that there is more power in it, even with 98 octance pump fuel.


Sounds like a nice package, 103mph through the traps doesn't equate to 200kw to the wheels though. sorry but MPH means HP. Keep up the good work, we need more non Honda race cars out there. :thumbsup:

Check the first post: 13.24@103mph = 142Kw@treads

Everbody else:
91mm stroke x 86.5mm bore(oversize factory pistons) = 2124cc

The motor is running Nissan engine components except for Crank, big end bearings, camshafts and valve springs...

I have a video of the SSS doing a 0~180Km/h sprint which will show you what your all dealing with ;) Post a link up when it finishes uploading.

I guess every Honda owners excuse is that it has no turbo...
But in the end of the day both Nissan and Honda are a japanese car and are competitors. Why are people so quick to point out that Nissan is quicker because it has a turbo, but when an NA honda is quicker than another NA car, it means Honda is the best and any other car is sh!t? A lot of you guys, and I am not saying everyone, but a lot really have your mind made up and nothing can change it. Whatever helps you guys sleep with your Honda in the garage...

iamhappy46,
Who did the cams? Your dad as well? How did you guys figure out what spec cams are the best to put in? And how is the car around the city? When do the cams swap over from low to high?

Pillow,
Yeah, quad throttles are a bolt on mod but in almost all cases it needs a full standalone ECU, and quads aren't good for street driving. Surely it can be driven on the street but it's the kind of mod that is making the car closer to a race car. And if this nissan has quad TB's on top of it's 201kw atw it will be a monster! Not that it isn't already...



In the end of the day all I am trying to say is that there really is no need for people to diss iamhappy's car just because it's not a Honda

Surely it can be driven on the street but it's the kind of mod that is making the car closer to a race car. And if this nissan has quad TB's on top of it's 201kw atw it will be a monster! Not that it isn't already...



In the end of the day all I am trying to say is that there really is no need for people to diss iamhappy's car just because it's not a Honda


lol dude noone said honda was the best.. the reason ppl love honda is bcoz.. for wat they r, they are frieken quick. awesome built engines that put out good power and offer awesome fuel efficiency. that is all. u gotta rememeber ur on a honda forum so of course everyones gona stick up for honda so u puttin honda down doesnt get u anywhere

You're on a Honda forum Spetz...what the **** do you expect? Sure quads aren't really for street driving (they can be with an airbox enclosing them) but the car already had a 'standalone' ecu, so it's not a major omg mod such as new internals;) Side by side, look at which one has more work, and purely for that reason, the Pulsar will probably be quicker. Like someone else in thread has already said - Apples and Oranges my friend, the only things common to both these cars is 2L, FWD and No Turbo lol.

iamhappy46,
Who did the cams? Your dad as well? How did you guys figure out what spec cams are the best to put in? And how is the car around the city? When do the cams swap over from low to high?

In the end of the day all I am trying to say is that there really is no need for people to diss iamhappy's car just because it's not a Honda

I think the problem here is that Honda's have been at the top of the ALL MOTOR TREE for a long time and that to have a Nissan come along to take that glory is rathering... frightening? if that is the right word here?!?! I am even considering taking the ITB's off as the SR16VE N1 intake manifold was not much of a restriction with my old setup but rather the AFM killing flow.

I am not sure what the plans for BADHBT are but if the K20 needs to be cracked open to post times similiar times to what I will be in a few months, then will that make it fair??

Spetz: My step-brother works in Japan. He had a mate of his Tetsu, who works for a major Japanese performance house grind the cams. I gave him all my engine details, the power band I wanted and he sent these over for testing.
NEO VVL allows for independant changing of I&E camshafts, so the engine is smooth and tractable. Intake cam changes first followed by exhaust cam. Exact specs are a trade secret.

I guess the strip is the only place to settle this when I post a low 12 second quarter. Feel free to show up at WSID for Summernationals ;)

ITBs are great for street driving/low rpm performance. just cos they're good for high rpm doesnt mean they're not good for low rpm.
only prob would be the noise but from what i see/hear thats not an issue for most ppl driving modified cars.
but anyway, very impressive to get such power from an NA SR20, although perhaps overly confidant. not to say you wont post low 12's( cos you prob will) but wait till its done b4 saying it and before the "glory" is already claimed;)
as far as the top of the FWD NA tree goes..... until something other than a honda starts touching the times seen in the states......

But isn't that just a popularity contest? I mean, look at this Pulsar, had to have custom cams made from japan... which basically goes to show how much effort it would take to get a quick NA Nissan, in comparison to just ticking a checklist to get a quick NA Honda.
And in the end of the day Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota have all just chosen a different route for making power, and all manufacturers offer a VTEC type of alternative but there simply is no aftermarket for them. Put simply, you want a quick Civc, you put a VTEC with mods in it, turbo maybe etc, you want a quick Pulsar, you put and SR20DET, you want a quick Lancer, you put a 4G63T. But for sure if you want a quick NA car, you buy a Honda.

All I am trying to say is that a lot of people could show more respect to cars other than Honda. And a few of you said this is a Honda forum, what do I expect, well I've been on other car manufacturer forums and it's nowhere near this bad.
Although Nissan boys are up themselves I guess :D

27-01-2006, 06:10 PM
I respect any fast N/A cars, Honda's and Mazda's tend to be the ones noticed the most though. Although in NZ we had a Nissan NXcoupe in street trim run 12.1 @ 112mph with a slightly worked SR20DE it is being tube chassised at the moment, i'm talking to the engineers on the wheelie bars and rear suspension for it at the track on sunday.. They aim to run 10's in it so its gonna be a good machine..

If I really wanted a quick FWD I would probably go for a Misti Atsi coupe and install a 4G63T in it, if guys can make 1000whp from them thats a damn good starting base..

man the good ol Honda VS Nissan debate. a very funny read...

"nissans NA are crap, honda NA rules"
yeah i agree that nissan should stick to what they good at which is boost, but the fact that a nissan driver has put this much work into his car so he can compete with some of the top honda NA's is impressive. IMO its good to see all motor competitors that arent honda even if he's done all that work. he's up there nonetheless.
i am a honda lover like 99.9% of ppl on this site and honda will IMO always dominate the all motor class, i mean look at the comparison the EGK20A's internals were untouched. at the end of the day all i want to say is honda keep that VTEC coming and nissan... stick to your hair driers

28-01-2006, 06:10 PM
Non Vtec, there are some 4G63's making 2000whp as well in drag dedicated cars.
But yeah, in a FWD application a 4G63 could make huge power on stock internals. An asti is just a lancer by the way.


j-specaccord,
I think you have to also take into account that honda engines were designed for NA use and therefore have internals to match. Put simply, a stock Honda engine can't handle much boost at all, where as a stock nissan engine could handle way more boost. So the engines were designed for different uses, and one does one thing better than the other. And a K20A comes in a "sport" Honda. Realistically, besides the NSX and S2000, the ITR is Honda's best car. I read and think that a K20A is better than the F series, so this is the BEST 4 cylinder Honda has to offer, in the 3rd best car Honda has to offer, against an SR20DE, in a pulsar, and this pulsar came with this engine, not a 10 year old light chassis with a brand new engine conversion

u hav really wierd ways of comparing things i mean its only in the pulsar bcoz both the engine and car are 10yrs old.

The 9 second DC5, how much did it weigh though? Probably less than a gutted EG hatch.

And it just brings back on my other post that the K20A was built with NA power intentions, SR20 wasn't.
Realistically, this Pulsar doesn't have THAT much work done to it. It has a lot but things were replaced on that engine because Nissan never intended it to be a monster of an NA engine. They after all used turbo for power. Honda's were built for NA and don't need as many things replaced

You don't seem to have a great grasp on what this engine is about. The sr**ve engines are a fairly new design only produced in the late 90s. What difference does it matter anyway, lots of people put b and k engines into older honda chasis. From what I understand the block is a DE with the VE n1 head on top with custom oil lines for the neovvl (vtec) activation. You make yourself look silly when you post about stuff that you have no idea about. My fairly stock sr20ve engine makes about 118wkw but needs better tuning. The only power adders really are the ecu and exhaust.

Why is there such negativity about a nissan making good power. Why is there so much animosity between members of this site and nissans. When I read about egk20a i thought, wow thats awesome ill go check it out. There are plenty of people in the states making over 160wkw with n1 cams on stock sr20ve engines with much fewer mods, its not hard to believe guys.

Im sure chuck had many doubters and people asking him whether it was worthwhile to put the k20 into his old civic.

Maybe wait till its run, then you can have your say, but i wouldnt be so quick to judge.

i was running 101mph with 122kW and was running a stock crank, stock rods, OEM camshafts, stock block, OEM flywheel, OEM intake manifold, OEMN plenum, OEM gearbox with no LSD,

so a Nissan with all that work to the engine should be able to nail some pretty decent MPH...

with a claimed 200kW ATW you would expect very low 12's if the driver can drive...

iamhappy46
31-01-2006, 10:21 AM
GaryD is right, the VE motors are much better than their DE counterparts. The Tomei crank is used to give higher rpm, increased torque + capacity over the DE/VE items. I used DET rods which can safely support 400Hp because I did not have any DE rods that were straight ;)
Basically the rest of the motor is only mildly modified. Would a K20A make the sort of power my SR is making with a 2124cc bottom end, increased compression and camshafts?

As spetz said in post #94, the SR16VE makes 147Kw@fly from the factory. With compression, capacity, revs and cams improved upon, the power potential is there!

I can definitely drive and I already have a video of a 0~200Km/h run(on 18's + street tyres) along a local 'private road' that would put EGK20A to shame.

SR20VET - 276hp AWD Turbo 2002-Present

How much power does the VE have?
SR16VE - 173hp @ 7800rpm / 119lb torque @ 7200rpm
SR16VE N1 - 197hp @ 7800rpm / 134lb torque @ 7600rpm
SR20VE - 187hp @ 7000rpm / 145lb torque @ 6000rpm
SR20VET - 276hp @ 6400rpm / 228lb torque @ 3200rpm

-----------
The sentras never had a ve standard... It would be a 2.5l engine or sr20de. Or if it could have a VE swapped in.

Have a look at the BMI n1 vs ctr, then n1 vs spoon ctr (i think its a spoon car). Probably not the greatest race ever because its raining and they are fooling around

He didn't post this here to start with. He's building quite the respectable SR20 by Nissan terms, and the easiest comparison he can make with another engine of closest similarity is with the EGK20A. I'm sure he didn't intend to start a shitfight.

I'm not. I drive a Nissan.

Not everyone is bias - granted, some/probably most drivers are. But wouldn't you like to try and ignore such bias and get down to some healthy competition? It's pretty amazing what can be learnt from people who have knowledge in other car manufacturers way of doing things - when your not trying to tear their head off.


but wat ur tryna say is n/a nissan has overtaken honda right??
From what I can gather, thats not the point at all. The 'point' (for lack of a better word) is that a pulsar driver has an SR20 that rivals some VTEC engines.
By Nissan standards, this is pretty impressive. By your standards, maybe not so impressive. Perhaps if some users here saw past their Honda-Nissan bias, they would have realised that.

It was just to show what potential the SR20VE had 3 years ago. My car is lighter, more power, purpose built gearbox and the motor has plenty of power left in it.

I got stock Nissan rods and pistons. If I had a SR20VE crank, I would have used that and kept it all Nissan but I got a good deal on the Tomei item.

I dont see what the stock k20 vs modded sr20 has to do with this argument. Thats like saying I bet a stock rb26dett is going to make more power than a stock k20 engine. In the end its irrelevant, its the whole package that counts. How he makes the power and runs the times matters not, I dont think any of us have said sr20 is a better n/a engine than a k20. So why is everyone becoming so defensive? Making a car go fast costs money, it doesnt matter what sort, theyre all expensive. My point is, the modded sr20 is probably similar in price to a stockish k20a. Like you can buy a ferrari or modify a gtr to be as fast, the GTR will still probably end up much cheaper. If you dont care about the image what does it matter?

I think the problem here is that Honda's have been at the top of the ALL MOTOR TREE for a long time and that to have a Nissan come along to take that glory is rathering... frightening? if that is the right word here?!?! I am even considering taking the ITB's off as the SR16VE N1 intake manifold was not much of a restriction with my old setup but rather the AFM killing flow.

hey that would be pretty sweet running a crate sr20 tomei engine, congrats to getting it and im sure it would be a lethal engine.

Unfortunatly i dont agree about saying that the sr20 tomei engine and the k20a engine is a fair match. The K20A has alot of r&d by honda to create a powerful n/a engine but when it comes to modifying the engine, alot of the principals of the r&d from honda are thrown out the window because of the fact that there are aftermarket parts being matched with OEM parts.

A tomei crate motor on the other hand is an sr20 from nissan that is carefully scrutinised using even more r&d to further make a better engine. Tomei would be able to carefully design aftermarket parts that would excel further then oem parts but everything is changed in the entire engine so that everything works in harmony.

In a nutshell any sort of crate motors arent normally modified too much because of this balance and how everything works so well due to the r&d of the company and the amount of cash invested.

So thats why a sr20 crate motor from tomei isnt a fair competitor to a "street" tuned K20 engine. just like a home made plane wouldnt fly as well as a plane that has gone through extensive r&d.

Hope that gives some scope.

Tomei only make SR20DE or SR22DE crate motors.

My engine is a SR22VE and was built in Australia, using the Tomei crank, main bearings and thin head gasket + the recent addition of the Tomei ITB's. Japanese designed and built camshafts as nobody in Australia had the ability to make one for a VE head.

If the cardomain logo was not in the way, you would notice that the SR20DE Derive Stage 3 makes over 250Hp@7000rpm! With the SR22VE making peak power@9600rpm, is my power output still in doubt?

well i pulled a 15.24 with just i/h/e and hav suprised alot of vtec hondas. i found that pretty impressive for a b18b2... gary's pulsar? wat.. is it a sss? well ive never been beaten by an n/a one with equal mods to my car (they couldve been bad drivers) so i doubt his would beat mine unless hes got some worked engine

lol i was just referring the the sr20de wen i said stick to turbo.. but surely the sr20ve and sr16ve are great engines. im impressed :thumbsup: just like wen the sportivo corolla came out :thumbsup: awesome engine, awesome car

im in no way dissin nissan, like i said theres alot of nissans i would love to own over alot of other hondas (my favorite being the 350z).. just annoyed at the fact that u n garyd r tryna compare ur car to a stock internal k20 n u back up ur statement by sayin it cost less

Yes, there will be a test & tune where she will be running the 18's and a full interior. The gremlins being sorted out was discussed on the Pulsar forum plus allow her to get rid of the nerves so she can see how the car handles on a grippier surface than roadbase hotmix.

I don't know why everyone's still going on about this, untill there are some dyno charts or slips posted of this 'new' motor, there isn't much to say other than the bickering that's already going on lol.

Correct on both accounts. Howevr, it took Nissan 2 years to BEAT 108hp/L. It took another 3 years for Honda to MATCH Nissan's 123hp/L.


From what I've read the SR16VE and SR20VE variants were released in 1997, whereas the B16A was released in 1989, thats a good 8-9 years it took for Nissan to get near Honda;) With the F20C being released in 1999, I don't know of any otrher 4 cylinder motor that has won as many awards as it has? Please correct me if these are wrong.

I'm not taking anything away from Nissan and their NEO motors, I wouldn't mind one in say a datto 1600 or 1200 ute:D

You two are so Honda biased it's not even funny. At least I can appreciate the B16A and B18C (Type R) for the great motors that they are.

Weq comes onto PGA, and I've never seen him get knocked. The Nissan bashing on this forum WAY exceeds the Honda bashing on PGA.

umm dude.. honda is the most "bashed" car manufacturer ive ever heard about. i can prove it but im too lazy to post up links. from the forums ive been on honda is dissed by holden drivers, ford drivers, nissan drivers, bmw drivers, euro car drivers, mazda drivers etc etc.. too much to write down and just bcoz nissan is bashed a lil bit on this forum u wanna cry about it?

i mean ask one person around the streets whos not a honda fan. and theyll say "honda is rice"

and wen they actually see a honda pulling crazy times they then say "its bcoz theyre so light" but the main hondas are designed to be lightweight from the factory :rolleyes:

Well, I have been trying to get the SSS video's uploaded. My mate sent me them from his Nokia Mobile Phone in a .3gp format and I am not sure if WIN-XP can view this, as WIN95 does not http://forum.pulsar.org.au/images/smilies/frown.gif

I am getting my XP machine on Monday next week, so upload some pics and record some mpeg vids for you all to check out.

The SSS is not at Summernationals as the driver had urgent family commitments despite pulling a 12.64@110.7Mph on street tyres on Tuesday.Hope to be at a WSID Wed Night street meet in the next few weeks...

without a time slip, no one really cares.

yeah i wouldnt go by gtech times. they're very optimistic. gyro sytems which can actually measure to such accuracies cost far more than what a gtech costs. they also require constant callibration.
its like relying on the public airpump at your local servo to give you an accurate measurement of your tyre pressure
i know it sounds like we're all hating but such big calls require hard evidence to be backed up with and i've never seen a gtech time considered an official time.
very keen to see the end result though:thumbsup:

Thanks tinkerbell. Hoping to get some good news in the next few days if chemo works.

I used the MoTec M800 data log to calculate the acceleration rate/wheelspin/time/speed, etc and the data adds up to a theoretical 12.64 with a terminal velocity of 110.7Mph. The G-Tech was quicker than this figure but I doubt the MoTec can fudge numbers with the data it controls/reads.

Of course, we all would know that getting that sort of time on a drag strip, where all sorts of variables(temp,grip,nerves) can occur is why I want her to post a legitimate time(which I wanted to do at WSID)

I see no reason why a sub 13 pass is not feasible on street tyres. If slicks can get 60ft times down to a <1.9, a low 12 is possible with my 50Kg girlfriend driving.

I should be in Newcastle/Sid-o-knee on the 17th/18th of April in my Nissan X-Trail GT, if any Honda people want a look. Should be in the Sydney CBD or something on the night of the 17th. Probably with a lot of PGA members...

For the first video:
It was taking off in second gear(as engine mounts were already broken, in first gear the box lifts and knocks it back into neutral), grabbed third(where you see the 120Km/h at around the 12s mark) and then wind it out in 4th gear to around 160 before backing off and slowing down.

I think everyone on here knows how much effort, development work and trial/error went into EGK20A. It was a really quick car for a mildly modified K20A.

In reality, it is not about the SSS beating any FWD Civic/Integra/Excel but about pulling the numbers to 'help' backup the power claim, right? With over 270Nm of torque@crankshaft available, it has the potential to pull some very fast times/trap speeds for a N/A FWD.

Hopefully, it will spur on the N/A FWD drag racing scene in Australia, which all of you would agree is a GOOD THING.

No more negative posts until Compak Attak, OK? Feel free to flame me afterwards if we only get a 13.0001! Will let Yonas know asap about being the pilot, talk to you on msn mate.

What is the weight of this so called weapon Nissan I want to work out what mph it should run with the claimed power output.Was there ever a dyno sheet posted up for everyone to see the claimed power output of that egk20a because I still remember it running at a street meet with a std intake manifold on it and they claimed 140 something kw then when it ran the 12.3 it was only a couple of mph faster but they claimed 170+kw then which is outrageous as it would have gone 8 to 12mph faster with that sort of power output.The only difference I seen was it was running slicks & the quad throttle body setup when it ran 12.3 and I think it had drag radials on it at the street meet where it ran 12.8.Please dont get this wrong as I think the times the Civic ran where great and it was a great thing that the JDM yard guys did but the plain truth of it all is mph comes from KW's.

Dude what does that link have to do with the weight of your car?.With the 900kg car and your claimed power you should run 116 mph + guess we will see at the Compak Attack how much of this is bullshit and how much is real.

With that power you claim and 900kgs on slicks 11.9@116mph if you know how to set a FWD chassis up, if it does not run this with your so called special gearing I will torch you with a flame thrower after the Compak Attack.
This power is more than a FACTORY built 2lt Super Tourer engine was making in the late 90's and yes I was the Team Engineer for 3 different brands of these things for 10 years so I do know what they where making.Funny how Online's CRX car comes out and runs 10.98@118.something MPH and yet NO ONE knows or will ever know what power it makes as the ET and MPH speak for themself's.And if you would care to pull your head out of your arse ALLMTR is a ANDRA Sport Compact class and has been one of the best supported class's at the Sport Compact Meetings this last season so dont think that your Nissan streetcar will suddenly spur eveyone on to come racing.

sorry... but no, not possible with an na 2.0l.

Not possible... yeah, probably not possible for a 2.0L but seeing as this not a 2.0L, it is possible.
Tomei SR22DE power/torque graph, 250+Nm@crankshaft here (http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/e038_sr20de.html) The VE head is a much better design than the DE head so more torque can be generated with the right tuning/CR/camshafts.

ALLMTR996: The SR20VE thread was relevant to those who question the power potential of any SRxxVE engine. Internally standard SR20VE has 150Kw@wheels.
Also, the SR16VE N1 motor in Japan can easily get 150Kw@wheels with extractors, exhaust, 12.7:1 CR, camshafts, ECU and other support mods. Not bad for a 1.6L!

DynoDave: The SR20DE Touring car engines are nice(with head reversed so the inlet manifold on the front, exhaust on the back right?) but they were limited to a stock crank and 2045cc capacity(from memory)
I am sure that you would agree that if torque could be increased via a longer stroke and using the VE head to optimise a low lobe rpm cam for street duties and hi lobes for higher rpm, that the power output is attainable.
The car will be in Sydney a few days before Compak Attak, your welcome to get your own power/torque figures out of the car, then flame the car then and there if you like.

Also my 'gearing' is not the 'special' part of my gearbox :zip:

I think this sounds like a grand idea, dave :)

we run 106mph with 140ish kw
So I was right 106mph with 140kw and 109mph with 170+kw that you guys where claiming :confused:, there is something very wrong there maybe the quads where not worth 30kw after all or maybe people will come to terms there is alot of bullshit involved with people's setups and claims and that the old MPH at the drag strip is the best way to workout who makes what power.

Another thing...

The US SR20VE link that I posted on the last page, does anyone care to calculate how much torque it is making in 'Nm' @ the wheels??

Factor in a 20% drivetrain loss and I believe 250+Nm is available@crankshaft from this US engine. Is 270Nm so hard to believe now?

Seeing as: Power = (Torque x rpm)/constant

Take the 208Hp@7800rpm, then assuming the same amount of torque at 9600rpm, the power output would be 256Hp@wheels...

Factor in the stroker crankshaft and you can see that 270+Hp@wheels is not impossible.

Anyone disagree with this?

oh boy.

well mate, if your car runs the numbers, i dips me lid. if it doesn't, i'll laugh at ya along with everyone else.

g'luck to you buddy. :)

the truth is, do not trust anyone, some dyno tuners can be sneaky as shit.

i seriously do not think we have 170kw, im telling what the dyno plot shows.

TOOOO MUCH TALK !
save every one the trouble and get a dyno and a time slip

The Pulsar has a lot of new parts since its last weigh in, I have no idea what it would weigh these days. Some new parts are lighter than the ones they replaced, other work has made the car heavier. Also had the interior stripped from the B pillars back. I would hazard a guess and say around 2000Lbs(900+Kg) including driver.

For reference, this (http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=150324) is a thread on a 200+Hp@wheels SR20VE in the USA.


900kgs wooaaahh INCLUDING DRIVER impressive!

is the car made out of carbon fibre or paper???????

Because the people who have seen my car/know my car will have a massive laugh at this thread. Obviously, some people on this site are not prepared to learn about something non-Honda related. It is an engine, use the laws of physics and try to prove that these numbers cannot exist!

I also never said 900Kg, the post read 900+Kgs or >900Kg. I am not sure of the exact weight but when my N14 SSS has a factory 'wet' weight(inc full tank of fuel) of 1040Kg and I have removed atleast 100Kg worth of weight to make it race ready. So I would expect around 960Kg or roughly what I stated on a previous page somewhere.

Personally, I am happy to answer questions cause I will be backing it all up shortly. Feel free to doubt my car/power output but I expect a pat on the back and a sincere apology from everyone who has a case of tall poppy syndrome.

Zilli: Obviously an intellectual answer there... yet no answer as to why this power is impossible. If you cannot handle the theory, stay out of this thread. Your comments are not impressing anyone except yourself.
