Thread: Pulsar GTi-R Revamped....

The mph is no joke.

couldn't agree more

How many PSI on that pass seems like it needs some more traction!!!
Why not some bigger slicks I think it has enough power for some jejejeje
Ashton that's a clear example of how hard it to break into 9's even with the power to do it!!
Good job!!! getting that GTI-R Into the 9's...

nice

Actually saw this car run in St.Lucia for Drag wars. AMAZING !

I gurantee that mph could be 150's. There was a lot of things that could have been improved upon just looking at the run. Came off the line very slow due to massive wheel spin and granny shifted every gear and sounded like it bogged as well.

Seat time thats all I can say. The cars times will improve. An awd car with a 145-150 traps can go 9.0-9.2 once dialed in and on a great run.

Its been a lot of work in the making. Alot of the problems have come from transmission issues. Making the power is not a problem. When we first got the car, it honestly was a huge mess but spending time of getting it worked out has paid off.

When we first got the car and started running it, it ran into clutch issues so we switched it out to a twin disc with hydraulic release bearing setup. That started working out good and was able to keep the power then the outer casing broke. We spent a few month designing the new billet outer casing and then started making full hard hits on it. After about the 6th hit, the driver noticed something wasnt right so we shut it down and came back to the shop. Next day we took the transmission apart and found that part of the bellhousing had cracked and broke. Now that we fixed the outer casing issue, the bellhousing decided to show its ugly face. We kinda knew it was going to happen because of the opposing forces in the transmission now. So we made some quick braces inside the weak areas of the bellhousing and welded it together so we can get some more hits out of the car.

Got the car back together and headed to the track and first hit went 10.2@146. Now mind you this whole time, we've kept the boost level at around the same (24psi) on a Garrett GTX4294R just to get a good feel for the car as you notice the trap speeds are around the same. Never turned on the boost controller. Finally after getting a good feel for the car and really easy shifting in the car, it finally went 9.8@146. So now we have finally hit the first goal of getting the car to break nines.

We might be looking into making a billet bellhousing also for it also, but this maybe later on down the road. The tire size is as big as we want to go reliably without breaking more parts and this tire size realistically should hold the power and a bit more without issue. Do realize this is an AWD vehicle so it has be launched and driven totally differently than a FWD or RWD car.

But for sure we will be turning the screws loose come Jun 1st-3rd at the SR20 Convention

Now that makes me happy to hear. I really hope you guys make it out with it. Should be an absolute blast. Cant wait and congratulations again.

How bout making a billet SR housing for the EVO trans? Just an idea..

I getting really motivated now, hurry up with my head!!! J/k

Congrats on the runs. 146mph is no joke...
