HR though is worth saving!

 

You must be so pumped Mike. What would that DE be worth with SG LTH, and the ITB's like 10,000? And hard to tune.

I'm now wondering what a high comp, cammed, HR with ITB's and LTH will make?!! 425whp+?

 

the ITB setup by itself is more like around 7k ! SGM header were at like 2k
the engine 5k !

so that would bring the cost to 14k !
without tuning with ITB which you would need something like an Haltech/vipec in a low budget zone.. thats 3k (tuning included)

we are at 17k !


as for the HR engine, I estimate it to be at 400-415whp
wait and see,, seem like Sasha will be faster than me on this project !
it should be a very interessting later on this year

Im pretty sure he will keep the same stroke of the HR engine as I transfered the VHR crank in my HR block (spare engine) Vq37HR Vs Vq35HR

 

Ooh, lots of interesting things coming up.

Chacal, you got a thread on your progress?

 

yeah I got one but the link is not accepted here ;(
its a 370z so the other forum you would think of, its there.

Look up for Megan370z

 

Neat.
Bummer/confusing that two of the big players in Canada are named Sasha.

 

Who is the other Sasha out of curiosity?

 

Boosted Performance's Sasha

 

oh yeah... i was considering writing them about that turbo system

 

Damn bro! This shhhh is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Glad to hear about Sasha's new venture.

 

At what point would a cage be necessary?? Soon I bet. Lol

 

yeah a cage (should) definatly be one of the next step !
or atleast a rollbar *4pts*

 

Yah I was planning on a roll bar before the car steps out on some of the faster tracks.

 

I just read that the Cusco one is made of chomoly and is 33% lighter than traditional steel cages.

 

I would just get can alignment to weld one in. For some reason I don't trust the cusco one

 

Ya I hear you. Probs lots of options other than a Cusco.
But I like it and it would suit my needs I think. I doubt they would sacrifice strength and rigidity to save weight on a safety device. I'm sure it was engineered to a certain degree. Meh.

 

I wouldn't put in a bolt in cage, especially since there are so many places around here that can do a custom welded cage. CSC racing, Scott, Joe Ferguson (used to work for Sasha) all have great reputations. A 4 point shouldn't weigh much, plus would let you cut out some more metal, might even get one in for not much extra weight at all.

I think Scott and CSC both priced out around 1200 for me last year give or take. That was 4 point plus harness bar.

 

Latest shipment of parts is in.

 

WOW!
Mike you have gone all out. I look forward to see you and Sasha race it out it should be cool.

Your doing everything I dream of. Congrats bro.

 

Thanks Dave, thats one of the nicest comments I've read.
