technically its a SR22VE...

and yes.. we havent seen much in way of footage.. and the last event it was supposed to debut at it had a night before incident off street... But the vids I've seen of the speedo have been fairly impressive...

I should be up to see it in person later this year... But we're all dying to see how it actually goes on track!


I'm actually more interested to see what this N1 runs!! It may set a nice benchmark for us all to aim at!
 
Well, well, well, what do you know :)
I guess this never happened? did either of these cars turn up? was there some very feasable excuse given ? I bet there was :roll:

Got it in one!!

Hailstorm took out the tow car for the SR22VE, Something happened because of that they couldnt get to the N1... Neither car raced... :rolleyes:
 
230 KW @ the wheels.

One word...BOLLOCKS!!!

That works out at 308 HP @ the wheels.

Which is approx. 360 HP @ the flywheel.

Sorry, but on an NA VE, that will never happen.
 
The N1 ran tonight at a street meet. Best time was a 13.9 on street tyres(Yokohama C.Drives)

Dbull: Hp = Torque(in Ft Lbs) x RPM / 5252

Hp = 205FtLbs x 9600rpm / 5252 = 374Hp@flywheel...
This is the video :)
SR22VE

The motor uses a dry ice intake system to get 8 degree celcius intake temps :)
 
Sorry, I wasn't aware of his torque figure at that specific RPM point.

And if he ran a 13.9 on street tyres then God help him.

I ran a 13.96 @ 98.5 mph over 2 & 1/2 years ago on my 200 HP SR20DE N15 on street tyres.
 
The SR16VE N1 is my step-brothers car. 13.9 was the best time as it was still running N1 spec cams and with a full interior.

My SR22VE powered SSS has run a 13.24 second ¼ mile pass, with 18" rims with only 160Kw@wheels.
 
Can you please tell me how on earth you managed to get 230KW @ the wheels.

That's more HP than my DET.

How is that possible with an all motor VE?
 
i'm sure it's possible with enough money and know how. Just look at the super1600 rally cars, 230 bhp from 1.6 N/a
 
My best figure was close to 220KW@wheels. The Tomei stroker crank increases torque and displacement, for more power. The VE head has much higher air flow than a DE head, so running hi lift and long duration camshafts means that some really bigger power can be made. The ECU I used is worth around US$3000, the stroker crank is about US$2700 and the Tomei ITB kit is not cheap either... so all up if someone else was to try and copy me... The would be looking at over US$12K + assembly.

As I said, on the previous page. 205Ft Lbs(265Nm) of torque@9600rpm means that I am making nearly 400Hp at the flywheel. If you consider, that a 1.6L N1 makes 200Hp@flywheel stock and then add in roughly 35% more capacity, more compression, more aggressive cams with less LSA on hi lobe and a more aggressive engine tune... that power is made easily :)

Not bad for a 4 cylinder Nissan :D
 
that is well impressive without a turbo or supercharger...

thats about 317bhp@ the fly yeah? how reliable is it running that kinda of power?
12k seems a lot of money but an almera/pulsar with that kind of power would scare a lot of cars...
 
The engine was put on an engine dyno(engine out of car after rebuild) earlier this year(January,06) and dyno tuned before fitment to the car. It made 268Kw@crankshaft, which resulted in 201Kw@wheels originally and peak torque at this stage was 197FtLbs or 265Nm.

Some fine tuning resulted in the power graph I posted(about 205FtLbs, my Nm to FtLbs conversion skills might be a bit out). I later changed my intake to better suit my Tomei ITB's, with custom length ram tubes and got a reasonable power increase.

I was until recently using stock SR20DET conrods but cyl 3 rod failed(lateral buckle) so for the last few months, I have rebuilt the engine with new bearings, new pistons, Tomei conrods and new camshafts, etc. I will also be running the motor on 85% Ethanol, for more power, higher knock resistance + it is much cheaper than 98RON petrol :D

It is very reliable running that much power, with my only problem being a snapped driveshaft and the car squatting too hard on launches that it cracked the body panels above the rear strut towers.

I have pulled a 13.24 pass@103Mph(with only 160Kw@wheels) which had a crap 60Ft time. I did do another run that saw a 13.04 pass@101Mph with a excellent 60Ft time but I wont count that one, as the gearbox exploded just before the line and I rolled over the line :(
 
Not yet but I only just finished my latest engine rebuild and fitment of an ASL 6 speed gearbox. The car has been semi-seam welded, with coil overs and 15" Enkei VZR N1 rims fitted. I still have a full respray and interior to finish before it would be race ready again.
