is it possible to make a sec. gen rx7 a 10 second car? if so, how much would it cost and how much hp would be needed...my friend doesn't think it can be done

 

Yes it is possible but I am pretty sure you won't be able to drive it every day.

 

Your friend has obviously lived a very closeted parochial life. Why couldn't it be done? For his info it has. several times over. I believe japtrixs' white TII has made several 9 sec passes. You guys must still be in high school!

 

Any car can be a 10sec car, just some cars are better cars to start with. I bet you could do it for around $8000 if you do most of the labor yourself.

Hell if they can make a Civic into a 10sec car, then an FC can definately do it.

 

As someone has quoted in their signature: Speed cost money, how fast can you afford to go?

Basically, it just comes down to money. You could do a 3 rotor swap with twin 60-1 turbos, or just a mammoth T-88, or something of the like. Plus, a standalone (Haltech E6K), injectors (4X 1600cc/min), dual fuel pumps, massive fuel lines. Basically, you are building this car for one thing - to go fast in a straight line. Nothing else would matter.

 

Sure you could, maybe not as comfortable as you would like.

 

no im 19 but yes my friend IS still in high school, hahaha, he is 16, he gets his license in a week...but how much hp would be needed to accomplish that...a machlaren F1 with around 600 hp does a 1/4 mile in 11.1 seconds...so i would prob need a 20b or a v8 and every mod possible right?

 

Peripheral port 26b should get you there.

 

try slicks, a good rear end and a suspension that works. Look at all those 800+hp supras that can't run **** because they can't put the power to the ground. Pick the right turbo and perhaps NOS and you be set. Make sure your car works though.

 

No need for a 20b or V8, the a street or bridge ported 13BT should suffice.

 

Tony Farkas (87GTR) recently ran 11 sec passes at NOPI
and was only dyno'n in the high 300's because of a small turbo(TO4E),we found that the turbo became too small once we bridgeported it.

 

The maclaren wasn't built as a drag car though. If you build any car simply for drag racing it can be fast for a lot less money.
I just can't see spending 1 million+ on a car though, no matter how awesome.

 

man talk to bryan at bnr supercars, there are people out there that run 11's on hybrid turbos and stock intercoolers,

-Chris

 

RotaryTurbo did just that ^^. 11.7 on stock IC, and hybrid 60-1 HiFi turbo along with Haltech and slicks. I now own that turbo !

 

I wanna run 11's

 

you sould just check out soul assassin's 7. his is pretty damn sexy and fast. http://velocity.isfaster.com/new/rides/soul/main.htm

 

my friend's civic hit tens, and yes he drives it in the street too! i'm aiming for tens later on, right now 11/12s would be koo for the street. I just really like boost.

if u don't believe me PM me with an e-mail addy, i'll SHOW YOU THAT CIVIC!~

so yeah it is possible to hit 10s for me - just money is stopped me................

 

The answer is in my sig below

 

I ran a 11.6 @ 115 a nopi. withthe boost droping off to about 8psi after 6500rpm with a T04e with around 360rwhp if I had a larger turbo Im sure I could drop it into the 10's

Right now Im going to get a GT4088 going to push the boost up to 30psi ...

 

they have NA 13bs inside of first gen's running 10 sec in the NHRA Sport Compact Seires. Ask Jesus Padilla.....he was doing it wit a 20b and weight penalty. Of course they run a peripheral port and have extra motors lying around. But if an NA can do it, i dont see why a TII with some nice mods and a T66 couldnt do it.

 

oh and as far as driving it every day....you can always turn down the boost :-D

 

A 3 rotor would require 6 injectors

 

and that setup would be faster than 10s if you could ever get traction.

 

Or stop breaking things.

 

Im aiming for 10's this year.
