meth injection will solve both of those problems by reducing intake temps.

 

Honestly, I would check out supra forums man.....there are several members there who do several 1 mile races. The C/D of our cars is pretty close to them as well. Since you are in a G....the weight is close as well. From what I have seen on there....800 +/- 50 (dynojet) seems to be the consensus for 200mph. Like mentioned above...initial traction plays a huge roll. Gaining mph from there means drastically bumping the hp up. The record setting SW supra (246mph) traps in the mid 180's in the 1/4 mile to give you an idea. Though I have heard the boost is turned down a bit for traction purposes. Still figure that car is making 1500+whp.

 

I definitely do not have it figured out and I don't have any tricks of my sleeve the only way I know to get over 200 mph is more power. Thanks

 

I am no expert what so ever. But in only a mile having the attitude of "more power" can not be the answer to that. As others stated, if you spin a lot, that will kill your chances. I think, also as others have said, you should look into functional aero. Just because you have 800rwhp, doesn't mean you will hit 200mph in 1 mile.

I am just thinking realistically here. But good luck to you, and I hope you find out and do what you need to do to be successful with this.

 

^^^ ding ding... its going to come down to areodynamics.. you need to find a way to get rid of all that wind thats holding you back.. more power isn't going to solve the problem

 

also the gearing

I thought the 3.5 FD gearing limited you
that's why I say 3.3 FD and higher redline should bring up your top speed

Apart from what everyone else has said

 

I'd first look into a full underbody 'tray' (flat bottom).

I personally wouldn't run the 3.5 final drive - the 3.3 would allow you to come out of the hole harder, get into the boost sooner, and give you a higher top end per gear. Problem is, it won't work with a NISMO LSD, but other diffs would work (Quaife and Cusco do diffs that are specific for the 3.3 auto ring and pinion)

Any idea what the car weighs? Any practical ways to reduce weight?

 

I remember seeing pictures of your car before. It is all business for sure . Please keep us updated on your progress and i would like to know your power/torque and weight when you do your run also the mph you get. A goal of mine is to run the Texas mile and your story will be a good indication of what it takes to make the 200mph club.

Good luck and I hope you make your goal.

 

Good Luck!!! Hope you hit your goals, may take a few tries of trial and error on a few things. +1 on the aerodynamics too.


would be interested in seeing pics of your car!! Glad to see another G around thats into power not just looks like most G's

 

Beautiful

 

i just checked out that blog. that car is serious stuff.

It appears that the oem plenum has been removed and a custom one built. It's not an individual throttle body setup but it has more of a LSx design. I like it. Any info on the gains from it?

 

Looks very cool. What airport in Florida do they hold this event at?

 

Pretty much all of the G owners on this site are about performance thats why we come here instead of Driver more Go than SHOW

Anyway here are some pictures of the OPs car the blog shows pictures of the interior all business same with the trunk.

 

That G is just amazing, Love the transformation. Yet to see one that looks so clean and serious means "business" is an understandment.

GOOODLUCK! fingers crossed you pull it off.

 

XKR?

 

xkr knows all about this. He posted up comments from the first milemarker1 event.

 

OP also said he wants to be the first 3.5L G35 to go 200mph in the mile XKR is a 4.0L.

 

loose the side view mirrors,tape up the seams,custom undertray and improve the aero on that shovel of a nose

 

Here is some info that may help.....

Revving to 7500rpms in 6th gear? Doubt it

Try a 3.3 FD to help you stay in the better part of the powerband.
