The way a 240 (and Z32TT) should be :)

744Rwhp Z32 vs. SR20 w/T57 (http://www.wtlw.net/misc/wagzrace.wmv)
Don't think this is a repost. I know who drives the Z32 (Wagz from TT.net). Anyone here wanna come clean if this was you? Just curious. Plus I got a guy local with a 96 Z32TT claiming he's faster (runs low 12s in the 1/4).

[PARAD0X]

i've watched it over and over. thats a nice clean race

[xS1LV1Ax]

Wow, damn, these movies move quick. Yeah, thats wagz in the Z32 (HIS CAR IS FUKING AWESOME!!!) and Eric (Rhombus on Zilvia, his car is hella fast too). haha THey took lotsa vids. They are all up on the Car club of Virginia Tech forum ( http://www.carclubvt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=765 ).

Wagz's car is SHOW + GO. Excellent combination of both.

[Bbandit]

the z won because it has more top speed advantage, gearing-wise, and aerodynamic-wise
but still.. that was a great race between cousins (nissan family)

like pj said, that's sean wagner, aka wagz, in the z32. he's been featured in HCI, nissanperformance magazine, and some other Z magazine. his car is very very pretty. the s13 is my roommate eric, aka rhombus. redtop sr20 with top mount t3/t4, .57 trim. more info can be found on www.streetdynamics.com . eric's car was running 10 lbs of boost until he got his power fc 2 days ago. car's still in the tuning process and running 19 lbs of boost. sean was running his street setup, so no nitrous and lower boost. estimated 450 hp i believe. he did dyno 744 hp as his race setup with race gas and nitrous.

all in all, the race was awesome. we're all friends, so it's not a pride thing. more of a "let's see where we're at" kinda thing. everyone just comes out smiling, rather than talking shit.

we were at the 240 national convention down in atlanta, if anyone remembers us, hehe.

[rhombus]

That was me. Kinda supprised to find how the video has spread. I should have put some sort of title on it.

Wags was running 17psi or so. His dyno at 18-19psi was like 520 if I remember correct. So he was probably putting down somewhere around 500whp.

I was running 19psi on a T3/T04E -57 trim .60 A/R compressor stage III .63 A/R Turbine

I got my PowerFC on Saturday, installed a set of 680cc Topfeed Injectors and a Z32 MAF. Did alot of tuning with the help of Jeff Taylor (a fellow 240 SR20 guy) on Monday. Tuned to solid 11.7 A/F ratios at WOT. Tuned the timing too. I am very impressed with the PowerFC unit. I will be getting on the dyno Friday and doing some fine tuning. And if all goes as planned I should be making a trip to VMP next friday to run down the 1320'.

My only complaint is that my shift knob came unscrewed in out second run when i went to grab 4th. You can hear how long it takes me to get in to 4th in the video. Time for a B&M!

It was very fun though!

I've experienced the loose shift know myself, except it happened at an autoX event for me :hammer: . So is it nice to know that you're famous, or a little scary??? :D

Not to pry, but might you have any extimations on your current HP ratings on the SR, or do you want to wait til you have solid numbers from a dyno? Just curious myself, plus there are a few people on a local forum of mine that I'd like to shut up.

[rhombus]

Im sure its over 300whp. But I am not going to guess beyond that. I dynoed 275 on the stock turbo @ 14psi. I am going to the dyno Friday, and I will post up the numbers as soon as I have them.

I havent watched the video yet but sounds like a good one. I remember your car from conventionvery nice setup sound s like shes gonna be a screamer :)

[old_s13]

kudos to the s13, that looked pretty fresh..

damn man, do you guys have any turns out there? :) it would be interesting to tape a canyon race out here in the canyons..

-m

[rhombus]

HAHA, yes we live in the BlueRidge Mountains. Tons of curvy roads. Just not on the highways and Interstates. The "closed course" we were on has a few straight aways that we took advantage of.

I got some footage of the mountain run from convention.. but my cameraman seemd to have a hard time filming anything other than the dash......

[Stee Flo]

Are you kidding? There are plenty of windy back roads and some nice mountain driving as well. Good idea, take them cars to the mountains for a friendly touge match. That would be more interesting imo.

[bobmeindertsma]

very nice

nice work on the srswap
any pics of ur ride?

[rhombus]

My Webpage (http://www.streetdynamics.com/members/rhombus/nissan/rhombus.htm)

Bunch of Pictures on the Pics section. I need to do some updating still but there are a few in there.

hahaha. i saw the footage, haha. it was hilarious just cuz the camera just couldn't concentrate onthe road.

nokeone, right on. that's the way it should be. unless you're in some sort of competition....

[xS1LV1Ax]

Here is a full compilation of all the vids of all the runs from diff camera's.

S13 SR vs Z32 (http://128.173.190.4/new/wags%20vs%20rhombus.wmv)

[AmherstSR20DET]

Good job! Now, were you with Wagz, Rhombus, or chasing in the WRX? Whoever, and where ever, good camera work and editing!

[andrave]

holy shit you guys are just down in blacksburg?
hell I'm up in princeton WV, maybe I should come down with my beater 89 240 and hang out...
its getting slowly worked on, should be pounding 300 hp plus to the wheels by spring, I've got a bunch of shit lined up for it (ka24DET).

[240Driver39]

yeah, more 240's to chill with the better...

[xS1LV1Ax]

I was probably sittin in my dorm room while they were making the runs. I wish i was in one of their cars when they were running.

[LOwrestling2001]

I guess it is was a combonation of a good Intercooler, 3" DP and 3" dump under the car.

We dynoed another pretty quick S13 with stock turbo the other day and he put down 26xwhp at 14psi.
