A bit steep for tyres .... 235 / 50 / 18 Dunlop Sport 01 at £185 each :Fish:

SVM Hulk R35 GTR makes 1263bhp and 1090lbf/ft

by Dan_Turism0, 17-11-2019, 05:20 PM

Torque is insane!!!

THE RESULT.........

Hulky


..... from this initial run, "Turbos" are maxing out @6827RPM from yesterdays results....



AS we are running a very different head set-up/ the Jun inlet and our in-house :thumbsup: 70mm throttles, we need to make a few adjustments too keep up air volume and pressure feed correct to the engine unit's build potential,as we have set an agreed (self imposed) engine torque limit of 1000lbsft,

As you can see , the Hulk is keen to flex his muscle @ 1091 lbfts , The balance of torque and BHP must be safe,with the 4.2 stroker unit.

We intend now to enlarge both turbo units,to push the power band up another 1500RPM on top of the 6827rpm we are currently measuring at.

This will help two fold, More BHP higher up the RPM scale , also pushing the torque band higher makes for a safer tune, (with these block's)

The mid range boost, is easily achievable, although @6800rpm we hit max power and run out of steam

Hence the decission now to go big lol

We know we can improve so much from this valuable data obtained

Pls see posted graph attached......
This has been, we feel a fantastic result, on mixed race fuel, IMHO, having met our Goal,

"THE MOST POWERFUL R35***8221; in the UK. I Do hope you all agree a fantastic result, and now we will put The ***8220;Hulk***8221; To Further Tasks,Tests & Challenges ....in 2012


Yes we do want to hold The world record


At present SVM holds records throughout Europe, beating even AMS alpha 12 cars (on the day) our Romanian friends carried out over 200 successful launches this year, Madness and held onto their own records with our 850R++ conversion yes beating the big boys !!

They entered 10 events each consisting of 10 races per event Plus testing, a true testament to build quality and strength.



We can all say my ***8220;Bhp***8221; is bigger than yours !, However we are in firm belief, putting our cars to the ultimate test's to move forward with all our dreams as fast as possible and to make these ultimate projects a reality in the UK & Europe.



F-man***8217;s 900R conversion and ran a 9.67 sec'@ Santa Pod earlier in the year,(with 900bhp) we do feel the Hulk has a legitimate fighting chance, with the 1200R project, currently the ***8220;World Record" standing at 8.9sec watch this space I'm sure you agree it***8217;s a step in the Right direction, however I still feel a lot more work is to be done. To move the game Forward, GTX35 units now on their way and maybe try meths? (Not the Drug just in case some of you get confused ) lol



I do feel though that maybe the smaller units, may have an advantage in the real world IMHO.

It is just a balance of the right amount of torque and bhp at the required point in the Rpm range..... Onwards & Upwards as they say LOL



We May not be the Dyno king @1264BHP compared to GT-R***8217;s from the USA, but we will strut our stuff on the black stuff and hopefully show everyone what SVM is all about. Part of the package, to deliver usable power from standstill to 200+mph !


It may be prudent to try Him on the "Drag strip" before we again take the engine out! and then make that decision.

(Due to Xmas/ New year Break, the constant rain we have had hindering the mapping due to constantly loosing traction even in 6th Gear lol (John***8217;s been through some pants as a passenger ...lololol)


I sincerely hope we have your support, and we provide to continue Developing this wonderful marque :thumbsup:

We have great support from UK manufactures and obviously Cobb and our good friend Benji from GTC who took the Rains of the Hulk.


Sorry no video or pic***8217;s today, We have promised exclusive editorial to a magazine,





On a final note I do hope you have a enjoyable New Year, and SVM would once again like to thank everyone for there comments good or bad they are all noted and we try and please all, (Not always possible lol)



Kindest regards and have a great New years !!!!!!

frankis supra

by franki, 17-11-2019, 12:07 PM

Here is my 1993 j-spec twin turbo supra. I spent awhile tryin to find a car that was fairly standard, with all intentions of keeping that way. As usual though this wasnt to be.




So the first thing i fitted was a boost gauge, but not wantin to go for a pillar pod, i removed the left hand vent and put it in there.




I have recently removed the whole interior as the carpet was pretty rough to say the least. An also the seats where showin there age too so both deep cleaned using the wifes new carpet cleaner.

Things that are happen on the car at the moment
Plasma dial kit
New rear seats inbound from the uk
Any plastic trim that is damaged to be replaced.
All speaker wires running under the carpet and postioned ready for a small boot build
Action camera located on the top of the dash just thinking of somewhere to mount the remote
19" wheels away been sandblasted but do have some before pics (not pretty)


Ill get some more pictures up tomorrow as ive just switched laptops and need to get some more interior pictures as it stands. cheers for lookin

8th Annual Brass Monkeys Run

by FirebirdPhil, 17-11-2019, 07:02 AM

On the 27th I went on the above event, a run from Brandon in Suffolk to Wells-Next-The-Sea. Open to all Hot Rods, Classics and of course American cars of all shapes and sizes. This was a very well attended meet over 60 cars, a few motorbikes - and extremely well organised, with marshals along the way making sure everyone got to the destination and didn't get lost along the way. Even had a fuel stop as people had already travelled a long way to get to Brandon.






Sierra with a V8 - insanely fast wasted all the Corvettes

V8 Capri (Rover V8) overheated and died after 20 miles - its a Ford/Rover design fault apparently

Sideways up the pavement..... On the wrong side of the road!

by SHAHZ, 15-11-2019, 12:34 PM

So I was visiting the mrs family up in Peterborough on Christmas eve and about 4 ish I popped to sainsburys to pick up a few essentials for Xmas day. On my way back now probably near 5pm the roads were damp and the temp was obviously dropping. So I had taken the exit on a roundabout I needed to get back, and was just beginning to accelerate up to speed, by the time I was nearing around 30 on a 40 mph road someone on the other side of the road decided to overtake the car infront of them and come directly in to my path, to miss the car I swerved left and then hard back right and the back end lost it and spun out to the other side of the road and went sideways up the pavement onto a grass verge and stopped short of a hedge......the kerb was luckily a sloped type rather than the normal 90 degree slab kerb which allowed the car to go up it rather then stop me on the road as a car was fast approaching me from behind.......

Glad my family wernt in the car or a pedestrian walking on the pavement at the time and don't want to think what could have happened had my car not slid up the verge with the car coming from behind :o

So thankfully no one was hurt however obviously the geo has suffered as its pulling to the left and feels really heavy.....

Need to get the geo redone and to check if anything has bent when it hit the pavement!

where to buy 2000 grade sand paper?

by el_bandido, 15-11-2019, 11:46 AM

I've tried:

B&Q
Wickes
Hobbycraft
Halfords
Homebase

Some local shops.

Finest grade I could find was 400.
