Well guys.
In order to create an informative thread for future Vitara piston build threads i decided to put together a "Hall of Fame" for those with Vitara piston built engines that have already Built, Dynoed and raced their setups.

This should help others to have an idea as to what to expect, what combinations other ppl are running and an estimate power figures depending on turbo used.

I hope this thread can be of big help and a good reference to be used...

Please post only results..this is not a "my build thread"

Please post the following info and ill start updating the list:

Dyno Plot:
Basic setup: (Block/Head)
Connecting rod used:
Size of turbo and PSI used:
What chassis
Track times: (if available)

I will make a Vitara Hall of Fame list by Power figures and by Track times

Thanks..

 

VITARA HALL OF FAME:

By Power:
1. JFK @ SpeedFactory ---------> 609whp & 404 lbs/ft.. Stock sleeves 75mm 30 PSI Presicion 6262 .. Z6/Y8 .. EG Hatch
2. SpeedFactory (Customer)---> 487whp & 376 lbs/ft.. Stock sleeves 75mm .. GT3076R 32-34PSI .. D16Z6 .. unknown chassis
3.TopmountGSR ----------------> 433whp & 325 lbs/ft(est.).. GT3076R 26PSI .. Unknown Chassis
4.xsenceo89x -------------------> 275whp & 245 lbs/ft (Est).. T3/t4 17PSI .. Y7/Y8head .. EJ8 Coupe
5. fjt -----------------------------> 266whp & 244lbs/ft .. T3 super 60 18PSI .. D16Y7 .. EK Hatch

BY TRACK TIMES:

1. JFK @ SPeedFactory ---> 10.48 @ 139mph (with 471whp)
2. TopmountGSR ---------> 11.2 @ 128
3.fjt ---------------------> 12.4 @ 111
4. xsenceo89x -----------> 12.4 @ 110

 

come on guys... i know there are plenty of built vitara setups out there...
Help me build a good database for those who will boost in the future..

 

Right now im at 220hp/198tq w my vitaras on a gt25r. Will update when i put my new setup on if i decide to keep my vitaras instead of going w wiseco. The low comp is killing my power and drivability.

My best time 11.07 at 118 mph (letting off the gas)

d16a6/z6 head
75.5 mm vitaras
3.6 Bisi cam
Go-Autoworjs spec turbo by Bulsseye (17psi)
1000cc injectors

Soon new tune at 25 psi and dyno graph

 

Dyno Plot: 280whp/240wtq - Tuned by BRMS
Basic setup: d16z6, Walbro 255, Precision 650cc, YCP 75.5mm, Stock head, Stock IM, Stock TB
Connecting rod used: Fj Custom Length
Size of turbo and PSI used: t3/t04e, 14psi
What chassis: 92 cx Hatchback

 

guys i need the dyno sheets if possible..
Thanks..
Want to avoid any BS flags from others on power figures so proof is greatly appreciated.

If you dont have where to host it send it to me and ill upload them..

Thanks

 

What engine?

Dont change pistons... change to the custom length rods...

Wisecos compression for D series is around 8.5:1

Its cheaper to switch to the custom length rods for the vitara pistons than to buy new wisecos....

 

Only graph I have, timing was pulled out after this run to get the extra 10hp I stated.

 

Can you also put the weight down next to the time so that people have a better idea of what to expect at given power/weight ratios?

I was at 2300lbs on my setup.

Please add to the list:

Dr. D-series went quicker than me last year. I believe he has the quickest ET on a Vitara build.

Vitara Z6, 75mm
436 whp 340 tq
10.45 @132mph

Just got my 75.5's hope to be in this crowd soon..!! It's kinda shitty when searching for build info on these, everything is so sporadic.. I wish there was a baseline FAQ database to let us know what works and what doesn't... Even on TurboD16 it seems like everyone's just kinda asking everyone else questions and ****... Oh well I hope mine comes out legit haha..

 

Garage 808 hatch. D16Y7 block and head. stock bore vitaras with chinese H beams. 2700lb ek hatch 347/274 on 92 oct best of 11.54 @ 118mph

best pass is slip on left, right lane, other 2 runs were on the brakes


this was on our dyno jet. went to a dyno day and turned it up a hair and made the 347

 

James @ SF just broke a couple records:


635whp/421tq @ 38psi

HAHAHA u could say that again

 

400.3whp 335tq

z6 block vitara/fj rods. stock head
94 octane pump gas
borgs warner s256 turbo

about 25 psi iirc with boost cut at 31psi
92 eg hatch

I have a dyno chart if you wanna pm me your email I can send it

ran 12.0 at 12psi 260whp never made it to the track at 400whp

 

James tuned Nolans car to like 489 and ridiculous TQ on a 30 R on Pump and meth.

 

Here's my setup... So far it's done a best of 12.1@112 on 14lbs.

I'm in the middle of a chassis swap and am making some improvements along the way... The new car had a K-series in it. So I'm undoing all that mess.

Once it's all back together I'm going for 11's...

Also, the ycp's in my motor are installed with the arrows pointing at the timing belt. I now know this is the incorrect way to install them. However, they still work...
