Thread: Low 14s high 13s on a N/A De.

It was done before.. pretty doable. Good luck.

this is not as hard as you guys think. just look at it like this.

to run in the 13s all you need to do is trap 97ish mph. to acheive that mph you need to make something like 180whp. now a 98mph trap matched with a 2.0ish 60ft time will be a high 13 sec car.

when my ve was stock i made mid 180s and ran 13.5@100. so there is no reason at all that a de should not do the same.

was that on street tyres cory? how much did your car weigh then?

my car weighs approx 1050kg (time is in sig) with street tyres, 2.25 60ft

need to up your game wezzleh

slicks, only getting 1.9-2.0 60fts. car weighs 2300

my b14 does 15.1 with just ssac header 2 1/4 exhaust and a k&n drop in filter

I am really surprised that nobody has trash the guys dreams and said "Just buy a Ve and be done with it" maybe this forum is coming around. What ever is going on I am sure he appreciates the respect.

I really do guys. Thanks for all the positive feedback and I am really glad that all of you are down for the DE project.

A properly bolted on DE has a ton of potential.

My very first SE-R was a 91 with sunroof.

I had a JDM 9.5:1 motor, Short ram intake, SSAC 2 1/4" header (all they had back then), 2 1/2" full exhaust gutted cat, JUN ultralightweight flywheel, ACT clutch, UR 2 piece pulley set, JWT S3 cams (S4's wernt out yet back then), timing set to 19*, stock ecu and in a basicly full interior b13 with no a/c in the bay and no spare tire or jack i went 14.3@97mph on street tires. Car weighed 2340 lbs.

I think a fully gutted B13 down to 2100 lbs or less with a 10:1 motor, pullies, short ram, SSAC 2 1/2" header, 2 1/2" or bigger exhaust, S5 cams or larger, S&R's, flywheel, clutch, and timing set accordingly you should have no problem at all going high 13's on street tires and low to mid 13's on slicks fairly easily.

I loved my bolted on DE. Of course ve's will make more power and probably be less costly as far as hp/dollar goes but hey why not if you have a good fresh motor to work with.

Give it a shot and see what happens.
