twin 66mm turbos thru a TH400 tranny would make any platform super fast :) The motec opens alot of doors in terms of making custom parts work. very cool

you can tell from that last video thats not a streetable car.

If Vlad SP built sedan ever had real passes, it would probably be right up there as well.

keep in mind, when the car ran 8.33 it was still using the factory manifold, i dont even think it was running with a spacer either. in the video the hood is factory.

this is the pic of other hood to make room for the larger manifold.

:ugh: Pics of the blue clothing and sweatshirt or it didn't happen.

I can understand that you may not want to disclose everything, but I was mainly thinking about a parts list. And how about a dyno sheet?


And what's going on with the new set up (just something basic on what you guys are planning to roll out to the strip)?

sick

Very nice build
 

That was a good read good job guys :thumbup:. It gave me even more confidence that I took my car to the right shop. I can’t wait to get her back :icon21: Brandon do you have any more pix to upload?

• full unibody car/not a tube chassis? full unibody (no gut)
• stock displacement or bored/stroked? stock displacement
• sleeved or unsleeved motor? sleeved
• turbo setup used (you said a custom twin T66 turbo setup)
• how many PSI of boost? 38psi
• type of transmission (you said a TH400)
• type of engine management (you said Motec)
• type of tires used (you said BF Goodrich drag radials)
• type of fuel used (you said VP116)
• a time slip and/or video for proof (you have an awesome vid of the run)
• 60' time?

Stock rear diff?

Suspension?

Funny you guys were wrecking a$$ way long ago, while these other shops are still trying to catch up.

Too bad you guys didnt have more of a presence on these forums as you did all this, you would have taken lots of $$$ from other shops. Even though you have achievements, many will not release the left nut of the shops they currently and will forever cling to.

Lets get VTR on that top 25 drag page:thumbup:

:werd:

no one has really tried to catch up.... IP and SP are the only other 2 shops that have even bothered to put a real auto on these cars.

Where is this VTR car now?

It had a Nismo LSD and suspension was just a coilover, believe they were Teins.

Not sure where the car sits. As far as we know, the car never ran when Vinny left.

What Cams in this Car?

/\/\
I think SP and Charles showed that cams mean less than the intake mani on the VQ. By that I mean, SP was running little BC Stage 2 cams but with a CJM intake and ported heads of course. And they were flowing to higher RPM's than most others dare (that and a billet girdle help too).
I know my stock head, bc stage 3, 60mm turbos and stock intake mani couldn't breath
well, above 7300rpm......

:werd: Ain't that THE TRUTH. I don't think those other shops would have nearly as many fanboys today if VTR had been more active on my350z and more involved with the VQ community on a national level.

But I'm glad they're here now! I look forward to seeing VTR provide some excitement and positive change to this site.:)

Wow... that's impressive considering that the suspension wasn't heavily modified. Was it the stock 3.5 gear in the rear?

agreed. I have spoken to Vinny a while back when I was up there doing my clutch, about joining the forums... i guess he just wasnt up for the drama that goes on here.. and i dont blame him.. regardless he was packed to his head building Z & Gs and wasnt even advertising on here... I can only imagine how much more business he could of made being here..

Vinny has his own techniques and does his own thing when it comes to engines :thumbup: Looking forward to more!!

Couldn't have said it any better.
On a tangent:
Does VTR have problems with sleeved blocks? I noticed you guys have sleeved blocks for sale online... If you guys have success with and can give pointers to keeping the cylinders from sliding you could make a serious impact in our community as well as some serious $$$. Sh*t, if you guys had reliable sleeved blocks, i'd be saving up for a true build with your block...

From what Ive heard thru customers they dont seem to have issues with them, but no offense, I trust nobody that says that in regards to this platform.

Perhaps they have the recipe for success, of course youd have to go there to have it on your car, I dont blame them not wanting to share anything with the shops on here for obvious reasons.

Nice thread, sick F*cking car!
