You missed 0-300kph - very popular in Japan.......

 

Michelin Motorsports has supplied all the tires for KA since day one. I'll let you know what tire they choose when it happens.

 

Guy, which side of "the Atlantic" is Japan on?

 

Spoke to Walt @ HP Coating today. The exhaust valves and springs were shipped to S Car Go Racing yesterday. The motor will be back into the car by Sept. 27th.

Will post pics of the assembly as it progresses.

 

I learned something new today while going over the case and the GT1 oil pump. Promise, pics will follow very soon. There is a little bit of machine work involved here.

The name GT1 oil pump is a bit misleading. Yes, this pump was used in the GT1 motor. It was also used in the 935 and the 962 motors. It's hard to believe the cost of this pump alone is as much as a total labor for a rebuild of a 996tt motor.

 

chad,
i,ve found your tale of modifying ka an outstanding story. the accompanying photos, comments and explanations have been simply superb. of course many of the 6speed community have been valuable contributors. thanks chad, and of course all of you.

Chad,

The whole 6speed world will be standing still on the 27th.

 

Easy now Kev, the motor will be back in the car ........ not tuned. It will be broken in and tuned on the dyno. "Standing still" will have to wait a few days after KA is delivered down south.

 

Thanks for the kind words shonuf.

 

Good point. But if your chasing records and starting to compare against other highly-modified 4wd, twin-turbo small capacity engines, then it's the Japs (and also Australians/NZ) that are leading with the Skylines........

Current record on street-tires for a road-legal Skyline is 8.55@166 in NZ. UK record, held by a friend of mine is 9.38@159, but we have only really started to get into 1/4 mile in the UK in the past couple of years or so.

 

Guy,

I'm pull'in your leg. I have nothing but respect for you. I have no intention of comparing my times or performance to anything but a street 996tt/GT2.

 

Thanks. I knew you were joking, I just wanted to justify the Japan link. I didn't really want to bring the Jap thing into this excellent thread, all my cars are German now afterall, it's just that despite the many wannabes and BS artists in the Jap scene there have been some tremendous achievements!

I just want to see the first 9sec 996TT happen............

Guy

 

I figure I've got more juice left... somewhere like a 10.4 or 3... but to get 9s I'm going to have to do something more I suspect...

 

I believe you will see it soon. Todd @ EVO recently assembled an almost 1000 rwhp tt with a GT3 turbo motor. KA with a 4.0+ GT3 turbo motor and nitrous should be there and then some. I suspect alot will have to do with the gearing, transfer clutch and LSD's being employed front and rear.
