concur -- I have loved vivid's other builds; this one is on the other side of R I C E

but, probably puts up some good numbers

 

respect on the build. Not my styling.

 

There isn't enough red...add more red!

 

more red coming!

 

Maybe try less red... (or something...)
You guys have done great projects in the past. This however (IMO) is not one of them.

But maybe you aren't going for the mainstream/RWG (rich white guy) buyer?

 

oy, the wheel fitment could be much better. better luck next time!

 

Props for being unique. Thanks for letting us follow the build.

 

Thanks smoove!

 

One of the requirements of our Project GT-R was to have upgraded downpipes with high flow cats. The customer needed this to be able to import the car and pass their emissions testing. Downpipes are also a great way to help the turbos make more power with the ability to quickly move exhaust gas from the turbine. The high flow 100 cell catalytic converters fit with the factory OBDII sensors. We will be testing the car 1 last time on the dyno and we hope to pick up about 20HP. With all our inhouse fabrication here at Vivid Racing, the stainless steel piping is TIG welded and engineered for the best possible flow.

eek...

 

eek does not make any sense.

 

Since our start of the project in November 2008, our main goal was to get 650 crank horsepower. Well we smashed that with 720HP. The GT-R features Agency Power performance parts, Meisterschaft Titanium Exhaust, Cobb Tuning AccessPort, and the lovely 93 octane. We did 3 runs to make sure our boost was strong and our numbers were consistant. Before the car ships, we do plan on getting some 60-130 times as well.

We did a short video to show it on the dyno. See Here -

The last addition to the Project was our Agency Power high flow cat downpipes that were necessary for the customer. As you can see by the dyno sheet below, these downpipes added QUITE a bit of power. We could only imagine how they would do with no cats! The downpipes added a peak of 23hp and 32ft/lbs of torque. You can see that the boost also held solid till redline unlike before where it dropped off.



Here is a stock to finished comparison where the GTR gained 120HP with all our performance mods. With the Mustang Dyno Smoothing on 50, this shows a PEAK horsepower of 557 awhp. With a 20% drive train loss, this is EXCELLENT.



Finally here is our 600 all wheel horsepower dyno sheet with the dyno smoothing set to 0. When smoothing it is set to 0, the printed curve is not "smoothed". The smoothing actually evens out the curve and takes away the peak horsepower made. Here is the dyno sheet and screenshot.

I like it more than I thought I would.
The rear 3/4 view is real nice. Not to nit-pick but I owuld lose the Blue tinted fogs. Looks very 1990 civic like. Why not put tinted fogs in there? On that car its about looks anyways so light output is not the most important facor. Or better yet white ones with some nice 6k xenons? The blue looks like nothing else on the car.

 

I have to agree. The fogs look out of place on a build of this quality. I would also completely paint the hood.

 

Great build, I really like the finished product and congrats on reaching your HP goal.
