That's awesome. Hopefully the rotary record will goto a new home soon.

 

wtf ?? lol ask him and see what he says

 

20B and i think is 3 turbos.

 

^ Your right.

 

ill have a wild stab at it, hmmmm im guessing 20b three turbos , lots of injectors , billet gear plates crank and or rotors , fancy pants seals , decent box , top shelf clutch , possibly a microtech , hopefully not , decent cdi ignition , possibly factory modded intake or even a barrel plenum , real mans diff with big tyres and a big set of *****
Not much to do different in a rota combo i reackon these days we all like to be different but seriously.....

 

definitely an aussi way of thinking....

You would be surprised at some of the NON high tech motors running big horsepower and good #s..

 

ohhh

 

flaco , if this is the flaco i know it to be , can i just take this chance to finally say your the dude that got me hooked into rotary drag racing , i still get out the old tapes i have of your runs and interviews back in the day , dead set legend mate, would love to meet you and shake your hand or buy you a beer one day if im ever over in your end of the world

 

I agree, the only tech bit in my selection is billet gear, plenty of guys down hear running good times without billet stuff , the tunes and computers have come light years ahead from back in the day The rest of the stuff is as per norm for a pro car to be running, minus the triple turbos, that's just odd stuff haha

 

if your talking about Abel Ibarra from cali then thats not him lol, he goes by AbelRX8 on the forum.

 

impressive!

 

Car has a 20b semi-PP with triple turbos as stated before.. Nothing fancy or exotic about it.

Judging by the numbers, PAC is making a lot more power. IMO, the success of this car has more to do with clutch tuning than over the top HP.. Chivi is able to use all of his available power very efficiently because he knows his away around a clutch unlike 90% of racers in PR..

 

horsepower is nothing without applying it

 

you got that right power aint nothing if you aint got a package

 

90% is a bold statement. those guys are flying.

 

no im not the same flaco im a younger one
no thanks i dont drink
and yes we can shake hands one of this days

 

Yes they are, but a lot of cars in PR don't use an adjustable clutch. They ones that do, attempt to adjust it themself for various reasons - Pride being one of them. Chivi uses a Boninfante clutch in his car. There are even photos of him at the Boninfante shop in PA, so it's safe to say that he has decent understanding of tuning a clutch to suit the track. The next Chivi Rico tuned car to break a world record would be Pica's Rx7.

 

.....you are right thats a Bold statement...

Although there is a learning curve with the adjustable clutch, the PR & US based Rotaries are flying with prehistoric parts..McLeod clutches, distributors instead of crank triggers, inexpensive apex seals, TII transmissions, 90" wheel-base etc etc etc......the rest of the world overengineers their cars with little results
...
The world of racers nod their heads when they see our cars at the track and wonder how the $@#%@# are they going that fast!!!!!!!
