This is an interesting car. friend and customer Trevor Durham has a non-turbo second gen Rx7. This car is running a stock chassis with a stock turbo II differencial. car is basically a second gen Rx7 that has been on a diet.( no interior and plastic windows) but still a somewhat heavy car. Engine and nitrous oxide is being done and tuned by me. Second gen. runs a very impressive 10.63@ 130 mph non-turbo. what is interesting about this car is the stock rear and stock axels. he hasn't broken 1 yet. this 10.63 run was more like a 10.20 run, a few driver erros caused a slower E.T. what is also interesting is that this non-turbo stock chassis second gen Rx7 has more in it!! more like a 9.9 run and all on a $45.00 dollar nitrous oxide fill. got nitrous? :-) I have a few video runs on my phone but to crappy to post. we will be going out soon to test again and i'll get some good video footage. goal for this stock chassis second gen. Rx7 is 9.9@135mph.

I'll keep the site up to date.

details of the run.
R/T ... .698
60' ... 2.223
330... 4.038
1/8 ... 6.343
MPH... 106.34
1000... 8.345
1/4 ... 10.636
MPH... 130.30

Mods are:

Great run Ito, any vid? Although the 60ft is pretty bad, that probably is what is keeping the rearend and axles from breaking. I'm pretty sure if the car hooked the axles would go bye bye. That is pretty impressive. I wonder why more people don't go with nitrous instead of a turbo set up- way less expensive. If I didn't have carbon apex seals in my motor I would have a bottle in the back. On my next motor I'm going to try it out for sure.

a few bad vids jay. that is y I haven't put them up. car has had a 1.5 60' ft mark before jay. with stock axles. i'm itchin to drive the car. owner is having a hard time getting the launch right! i'm starting to loose my patience.. jay take your 12A bridgeport and put a 4 fogger kit and rock the house!

What kinda shot you running, if you don't mind saying? I have a pair of PP housing I've been wanting to do something with and a nitrous motor has been discussed. What kinda compression would work best with the nitrous?

Ito, I want to put nitrous on my car but I'm running carbon apex seals at the moment and don't want them to go bye bye. Plus I am setting my car up for the AM class.

Well, if you ever need to rekindle that flame by passing on some secrets my phone is always on

You going to have any cars at the PAN-AMs? I can't wait!!!

killahrx7

that car is very impressive, it's running faster times than alot of turbo cars including mine. considering the 60 foot time and the mph in the 8th, it's making some power. congrats to you and the owner.
that's funny remembering the suspension days.

Congrats Judge! Nice seeing you at Atco again. Seems like 10.6 is a magic number for a few forum members lately.

Thats an odd looking time slip. That car is going to FLY on a good pass!

Judge Ito

odd is an understatement, pretty bad driving to say the least.. the launch is the hardest part for the driver. he is constantly getting it wrong. but next time out with the car i got a nice trick.. changing the DRIVER! forgot to add this was on drag radials..

Judge Ito

thanks Ant. nice to see you out there too. hey Ant. if I put this car in the 9.9 on nitrous, i win a trip to trinidad as a bonus!!

Wow, that's pretty cool. Maybe I should ditch the turbos. lol

Congrats Ito, just goes to show that you don't need a big budget (turbo) to go fast and have fun..

When you ready for the trip let me know.. I'll be your tourguide

Judge Ito

thanks Aaron, and yes... as you know, nitrous is the poor man's supercharger!!!
