Do i go street legal or full Pro?

 

I have been looking at the classes eligable to run the car in. Now the HKS drag series does not insist on MOTs for the Pro Mod class.

 

This has a big influence on how i go about fitting out the BEAST.

 

I have studied the HKS drag series rule book :read: and it is still unclear as to what class i want to run in?

 

Does anyone have experience enough to suggest a series? Maybe Pro stock. (I have no idea)

 

Although the thought of smoking it off at the traffic lights from Asda excites me greatly, I gotta realise how practical is a 2 speed drag gearbox to use on the road:blink:

 

Insurance is no problem for me nor the MOT requirements, Also the car was built so far to be ROAD LEGAL :diablo:

 

Thoughts appreciated...

 

One more pic..

 

See the Fuel filler flap deletion in the rear battery compartment..Truly Amazing Bodywork!

Keep it street legal if it doesn't compromise the potential drag times too much, I guess it comes down to having things like wipers, full lights, proper tyres etc for the MOT?

 

Most things like that can be swapped out at the strip anyway can't they?

 

You don't have to drive it on the street if it's legal but it'll be fun for that one day a year you decide to :)

I have decided to definately go for the road legal theme, Just to P*SS on the Fastest Street supra record at present :eyebrows:

Basic Standard Parts i need

 

Rear lights

Manual radiator to go back in my old car

Rear quarter glass

door glass as templates

All door parts (as i only have GRP inner and outer skins)

Front crash bar

std front bumper fixing parts inc wheel arch liners and plastic splash shields

window rubbers rear quarter finishings

Door rubbers up and over gutters both sides

Throttle cable for TT

Starter motor

TT engine wiring loom

Front bolt on metal frame that goes below headlights (does anyone know what this is called)

Std TT Engine complete with TT Turbos (To go back in my Road supra)

Clean plastic headlights, or at least nearside one

Boot bump stops upper and lower

TT dash cluster

Complete car crashed!!

 

Performance parts i will need in time (still pm me if anyone has any of this cheap!)

 

HKS Drag cams i.e. 272 272

Built short block

TRD style 10,000k original fitment Tacho

 

The plan is to reduce my GT35R road supra to a BPU TT and use over-rated parts on the drag car.

Then to sell on the un needed parts from the GT35R to help fund the 1000HP motor for the drag car (In time)

I want to try as best as i can to keep the GT35R on the road whilst doing this as i cannot live without a fast (ish) supra:innocent:

 

Parts that will be for sale in time (PM me if interested) as they are over spec'd for a BPU TT or i already have the equivalent on the drag car.

 

If someone wants to go GT35R dont buy new parts before you speak to me;)

HKS 264 264 or swap complete standard head

PHR Tripple fuel hanger

HKS 1000cc dual entry fuel rail

Sard 800cc injectors

GT35R turbo

3" Downpipe with recirc for 40mm wastegate

3" or 4" FMIC

 

am i mad? Its a long haul and a lot of messing but the end results will be worth it.

 

a 400+HP supra towing a 1000+hp supra to the strips! (I will have to make my own towbar)

 

I have coming

4" Downpipe and mid pipe

74mm Turbo

1000cc fuel rail and injectors

100mm throttle body

 

Thoughts appreciated

Street Cars with IRS are a completely different ball game to Drag Cars with Live axle..... and comparing the two speed wise is not fair at all as the IRS car is massively handicapped in comparison for the 1/4....just like the live axle car is when it comes to handling and cornering :innocent:

 

Looks a great project you've taken on though I can imagine theres going to be a lot of sweat and £££ to finish it :cool:

  • 1 month later...

Having now virtually broken the donor TT supra, nicked all the trim and parts i need i now have some funds (And space) after building another workshop to house the parts and car!!

 

So any suggestions for parts greatfully received

 

Looking for

 

*900+hp capable cams

*Built bottom end or parts for job (Forged pistons, h beam rods etc)

*Front braking system (needs to clear Weld pro drag rims, J spec too big!)

*AEM Pro (so i dont have to nick the one from my GT35r)

 

Although i have until beginning of next season i want to get parts organised as i know how long this can take sometimes :search:

*900+hp capable cams

HKS 280s

 

My VWR motor has 280's, fantastic from 5500 to 8500 rpm, and not half as bad as I was led to believe, on the road. The cams just love the GT74 DBB

 

If you would like to try my 3800 stall TC in your box and it fits you can have it for £200 + a few goes in the car;)

 

I have some used H beam Carrillo's as well

 

I can't wait to see how this project goes.

Do not go for HKS cams, they are totally POS when it comes to big power/cfm.

 

people tend to focus primarely on the duration which is far from the only factor.

A very important factor when talking cams on a boosted 2jz is lift! And lift on the HKS cams are a f.cking joke tbh.. 9.3mm regardless of being 264 or 280, still only 9.3mm

 

HKS cams are (or should be) intended for the mildly modified Supras, with stock bottom that don't want to risk running an interference motor. NOT for a serious built like this.

 

What head modifications do you intend to run? I only see you asking about a short block, but a built head will be just as important to get that car running the way god intended.

 

 

 

Oh and btw, 74mm turbo? Way to small!!

Friend of mine Jon Giles runs this

1941 Willis coupe 496 big block.

 

His Race team is fully funded by him self and it costs him a small fortune every time he visits the Pod - this weekend to name a few.

 

This car is in the Super Gas and kicks outa healthy 900+hp on methonal...

 

Good luck with it.. Always good to see a Supra doing the 1/4

Firstly thanks for the feedback...its exactly what i need :)

I got a good used 74mm tubbie for cheap (ish) to start me off with,it non dbb, i have farrera valve train, dual springs and oversize valves inc all headwork to be carried out over next few months (Just waiting for collars to come)

 

Head will be flowed by my local specialist.

 

I realise the potential of this machine but i am also a realist, i dont want to jump straight in with massive hp without the knowledge and set up needed to stop me from smashing the whole thing (and me) up!

 

Do you have any info on other cams? maybe a link? do you know any proven builds. What ear the pro's/cons? apart from the obvious interferance issues.

 

My intentions are a five year plan to progress and develop this car with the help and vast knowledge and personal experience i can gain through mkivsupra.net ;)

 

Lots of research for me :lame:
