how fast

[vnhsv_336]

hey i was wondering cos i havn run my car yet but i just had it tuned,it has 181.9rwkw.its a 1991 vn clubsport with 4.11's and 6 speed manual which i just had it converted 2..

just wanted to know if anyone with similar power has ran it down the quarter..how did they go so i know what to expect roughly

[VN_Luke]

I'd be expecting it to be in the highish 13's, pending your manual driving/launching abilities!

a mate of mine with a 170ish rwkw VK carby V8 with tricked-up trimatic & stall converter + 3.55 gearing ran a 13.8

Same car with a stock EFI 5ltr (dynoed at 140rwkw), 3.7's and a tricked t700 ran 14.3, but was going into o/d gear just before the finish line.

If greenfoam finds this thread, I'm willing to place bets on his predictions

Good thing about the VN Clubsport is the light weight, the stockers ran mid 14's with 180kw at the engine! Now you have 180 at the wheels, will be a 13 second car.

i doubt mid 14s from a auto same engine as mine has , with a 6 speed its more than possible

im betting

1.95 - 60ft
8.9 - 1/8 mile
13.5 - 1/4 mile

only 1 way to know for sure mate

given its 6 speed those 4.11s will give you a good kick in the ass thought most of the gears should keep you in usable power all the way to the finish line

it all depends on the weight of the car...

thanks for the info guys..ill get a set of semi slicks and give it a go..its got ****e loads of torque though...586nm at the rear end in fourth on the dyno it pulls on the street like crazy..im gonna go a 3inch exhaust and a new chip due to it being for a smaller cam then the one i have in there so lookin for round 200+...cant wait

VN Clubsport:

Weight: 1360kg
0-100km/h: 6.8
0-400m: 14.6

5-Speed manual

Taken from Wheels, I bet those times can be beaten since we all know Wheels times are always too high.

Hence I buckup my previous statement to prove Gordon isnt so flash, Gigidy. lol.

You tell me the specs on the engine and I'll tell you how fast it will go (within a tenth or two) but a 6 speed and 4.11s sounds a bit carried away to me

[vnhsv_336]

full reco 9.8 comp flat tops heads ported to match the crow stage 2 cam 210@50 duration...the gears and this rebuild were done before i bought it..i kept blowin five speeds so i thought id put a six in there...actually goes alot better..its tuned for a 206 cam though.oh and a 73mm throttle pacemakers .2 1/2 inch exhaust for such a baby package it really moves..quick qustion though green foam how is it carried away?

[Morton]

6sp isn't carried away, and neither are 4.11s... but I think he means the combination of the two is a little hahaha

You must change gears more often than you blink

[greenfoam]

I see, that would be Crow cam part number 4666 204/214 @ 50 I'd say then. Makes sense why it goes so good since that's my choice of the best cam grind you can get on a near stock 304. Well I can't deal with looking up the ratios at the moment for the 6 speed. But for now I rekcon about 13.6 depending on how good the tune and how cold your intake is etc and mostly importantly how fast you can get the gears shifted. I think less diff would be better with that gearbox that's what I ment about it being a bit much

[vnhsv_336]

funnily enough i actually dont have to change the gears as quick as i did in the five speed..could only get bout 40 in first..now i get round 60 out of first and its just weird how it changed so much by changing the trans..also have a ripshift in there as well which is quite nice..very tight and does the cross pattern into third for you...not that i need it but it does make it alot easier...thanks for the info fella's hopefully will give it a squirt on the quarter in a month or so

[PaRaDoX]

where abouts are you from? :P

would be intresting to see this thing run, sounds like a beast

[vnhsv_336]

hey mate im from hoppers crossing..just had that dyno day on the sat that just passed..i mentioned it in another post..it won a trophy for top n/a 5lt category..to be honest there was only bout 40 cars cars prob 6-7 5 litres but yeah i think ill run it in a few weeks..fingers crossed for a high 12 low 13...i have to put some pics up as i paid reg on it 2day and it has cost me a small fortune and i think ill sell it to contribute to a house deposit as me and the missus r gettin serious and my business needs me to get a ute...by the way wouldn mind seeing ur ride..vp ss is one of the toughest cars goin round..what colour is it?

[Emackulation]

How many rwkw did it pull on the dyno? Post a thread about this car allready!
