If you’re interested...

First of all I am starting to think the 264 intake 272 exhaust camshaft combinations is not a good combo for a smaller turbine like the gt30R. It would find its home better for making power with a stage 5, p or otrim t4 or a gt35r/40r turbine wheel.

with that in mind the car ran a [email protected] with a mishift into 4th gear at the last 200 ft (not sure if it really effected the time). 2.0 seconds on the 60 ft was exacerbated by the car falling out of boost in a rich spot that was made worse with the overwhelming overlap with the 272 cam not quite complimenting the 264 intake cam.

The car was running 16 psi with a very rich tune as I just switched back to larger injectors (850cc) and was tuning run by run with crappy results.

Both cars had different types of grip oriented suspension not the best for drag racing which exacerbated the 60ft woes. However 1.8's felt very possible even on the very conservative street radial MT tires that were swapped on for better launches. Both cars also had pretty rough street tunes and I am confident with some dyno times HP can be increased on both cars at the same boost levels on the order of 40-50whp.

The no.1 topic of the day was however how Luke's car hit a 12.9 then a 12.8 then a 12.7 dropping a tenth each time all day. If he had hooked up a 1.8 in the 60ft he could have hit an easy 12.5 also.

Overall it was a great weekend, we drove there and back, these are street cars on the verge of becoming race cars but to hit these times in 100 degree heat on pump gas without dyno tuning only street tuning by myself, while running road racing style suspensions and rear diffs/gear boxes is definitely a testament to good tuning and work and development on the sr20det by myself.

Next time Luke should be running easy 11s with boost at the 22 psi range and race fuel and I should be in the same area.

I will be trying out going back to the 264 step 2 combination for now and will let you guys know what I think (I might try the brian crowers this time).


It's kind of a rush because this week I will head out to Willow Springs big track to shake down the car for the very first time on a real road course. A 11-12 second car that can run a good time around the twisty course? we shall see.

I should have the bc or hks 264 on both sides in before wsir and will see what happens to the power band.

FYI the 264 step2 is the way to go for almost anything larger thana t28 imo. Great pair for the 48-54 trims style wheels.

rushing the night before to install even larger SARD style injectors.

our friend vatche ran a [email protected] mph range with only 7-8 psi on a stock sr20det redtop with a t28 and road racing setup on suspension!

Stay tuned for more SR20DET development and tuning info that may help your own power choices and parts decisions as well as this July 5ths private track event (road racing) with more pics and feed back, cheers.

You the man mr. shadows! you inspired me too ditch my gt35r for a 3076r! It should be here sometime this week and i myself am running the hks 264 in/ex step 2 combo so im hoping for some nice response!

yeah well apparently the 50trim is the best over all of them lol.

I guess I should follow my own advice.

the 272 is not liking the 3076 or the tuning is just not spot-on at all yet(more likely), not VE for the wheels.

Dont go over 264-266 duration

I hear that! any thing over 264 is drag car/dyno status:-/ any way how are you likeing the 3076r? do you feel that is driftable/road coarse-able? all of my buddies hate me for getting rid of my 35r but i think i did the right thing.

yeah, youll be happy :)

I want to run a 35r eventually on another motor that will have larger disp and twin scroll but that might not be until next spring.

3076 is a great turbo with the right cams and tuning. Balance is everything.

I do miss the top end of the t61 wheel but the usable power band makes the car feel even faster and its a GREAT in exit acceleration compared to pretty much everything else iver driven even the t3/t4 40-50trim smaller turbos.

ps. what is up with FA? I cant get to the forums today, can you? Pm me

update...motor ate another throttle body while on the way to the dyno and this time engine wasnt so lucky.

if your going greddy intake mani, go q45 throttle body, dont even waste your time with the stock one, its a pile of crap.

which one are your referring to?

Ground Control+ Agx?

The car is great imo, it handles like tien coilovers on my buddies car, maybe better because i got spec'd an exact match for spring rates from gc for what i wanted to do.

The rates are 400 in the front and 300 in the back. A little rough for AGX valving but im pretty confident they will last 6 months, then ill be going to some Koni's or custom shocks.
