NRE 1650HP RX-7

[NVIOUS]

Not sure if its been posted before. From he boys at Nelson Race Engines, twin turbo SBC 1650HP stuffed into a little stock looking RX-7, very nice sleeper. Long vid (10mins or so) but def worth the watch

1650hp eh ?. Doesnt seem to move like a light 1650hp car.

Watching that vid, thinking he shows his face, and his business, i can only imagine what ACA or TT would do with that here.

[Stealthed]

Interesting with the 91 Octane tank and the 116

[Mad_Aussie]

Seen this before... The yanks love their V8 Rx conversions. Cool video tho

[PSI 304]

Seen that once upon a time. Doesnt hesitate spinning those tyres...and fuel setup would have to be a work of art!

howz it meant to move? it cooks asoon as the loud pedal is touched even in top gear with as his mentions the lowest boost setting possible? from the look of his work i obvious its worth using his workshop..the work is imacculate no exspense spared. makes alot of other workshops look like back yard jobs.

[Saf]

howz it meant to move?

Faster.

Been in and driven 1022rwhp of 2JZ and .... its so much more than that (heavier chassis, less engine power). I fry slicks on my CBR at 80kph ... doesnt mean much either, its a stock 1000cc NA engine internally, at 160hp, yet my racebike at 205+/- rwhp doesnt fry rubber at all. Thats an easy trick, doesnt mean my streeter is more powerful than my racebike.

Its always on "low boost" or "safe tune at only" with these guys etc etc. Who advertises half the cake? . Shit even some tuners in 'lil old perth advertise they 580rwhp on stock Nissan fuel systems !. No doubt they make powerful cars (not difficult, all you need is cash as Smokey Yunick once said) but they always have some discliamer.

[Drift_R32]

From wat i saw theres no speedo reading to show how fast he moves off from the video from behind it seems to disapear into the distance while peeling pretty damn fast..hows it going to move fast if its frying the massive slicks its got on there anywasy ? its on the street not the track.

why would he bother with high boost when it frys top gear on low boost asoon as he gets on it? that would make no difference to how it drove on the street in the video at all.

He mentions its running very tall gearing so could have effect how fast it moves off also.

why the whinge about them ?
no matter wat doesnt change the fact the work coming out of there is fukn immaculate.

[Saf]

why the whinge about them ?


Im not whinging, its my point of view.

Do we just slap dicks and pat eachother on the back if we dont agree ?. If it doesnt hook up, even if its 2600hp, if it runs 12.5's .... its a 12.5 car. Sorry, dissagree, go for it.

And its a far from immaculate ride. But thats relative, depends what one calls immaculate i guess.

[kurbn]

that is insane, great power output! suprised he manages to run an 8 with no traction, needs to drop the power a bit!

[Atomic_FD]

yea man this is Nelson racing these guys dont fuuck around.

[iluv2moan]

might have heard wrong - but doesnt he say in vid "thats with no boost"

..haha so wat your saying is its an 8 second car, so its an 8 second car? that makes no sense...i just dont see where your coming from, if you have a valid point to dislike the car/nelson racing then fair enough but until you explain that it sounds like whinging. is there some videos of this supra such as the nelson racing ones we can judge for comparison for speed on the street?


to me that is immaclate

Bombed!

[Atomic_FD]

Excessive.

It doesnt get any better than that...

Tell you what ...

Fo sho !! Dat sh1t is toight - man thats p0rn right that.

Antifail FTW.

Hope that made up for my earlier thoughts, i appologise.

aaaah no just made you look like a knob. i offered for you to explain why you dislike nelson racing or the car itself. you seem to not want to for some reason so yeh..ill just base my opinion on what you posted up ?

[Saf]

aaaah no just made you look like a knob. i

Oh cmon, im offering to appologise, and your calling me a knob. I care, its cutting me deep, i wont be able to go to bed before i make all this right.

I see video. I see no dyno run, i see no 8 sec pass. I hear "comments" on its power. Ill get some tyres i have sitting on the roof of my workshop getting blasted with UV all day and drop 65psi in em, do some big rolling burnouts and make a vid ... "OEM Toyota twins, 716rwhp bags up top of third".

Ive posted my opinion, want clarity ? re-read. I stand by my previous comment .. it doenst move out like it runs 1600 horses, and because it bakes tyres, doesnt make it 1600hp either. I gave you real world results to beat that. But mostly, i dont care ... why am i still even repl ......... <click>

[Drift_R32]

move where? the video is on the street? its not gonna move no where even cars with fukn 500hp with a histall bake hard on the street. how can you possibly say it doesnt move fast enough..IT CANT! you gave me your word about some 1022hp 2jz that ive not seen at all ? i asked for videos but none were offered to back up the claim? nor where any dyno sheets ETC ETC so what makes you different from them making claims ? atleast they have a video ?

fair enough you say its all claims but all im saying is your basing your opinion on things that arent relevant factors? like how the car performs on the street?

get some videos up of a car that has proved same power, same diff setup, same tubbed rear with same width tyres run on the street, then the strip to prove time and has a better engine bay... so you can prove wat your saying is correct?

[JME]

Saf...........you're wasting your time.

Nice Vid.

[Saf]

move where? the video is on the street? its not gonna move no where even cars with fukn 500hp with a histall bake hard on the street. how can you possibly say it doesnt move fast enough..IT CANT!

Its got massive slicks as you seem to imply, yet it "cant move" as you now say ?. FFS kid, make up your mind !!!. Thats what ive said fom day 1, but you dont need 1600hp to light up a first gen body RX7 on those tyres. Cmon, your now saying what ive said and trying to sell it back to me.

It doesnt hookup, and thats now my fault ?. Make a vid, get that rolling a big burnout (yea ok i pay that), but then show me it twisting that chassis into a launch where the fronts are a foot off the ground.

1600hp and slicks does that you know !!!!. Not that stab here stab there shit "Oh look it made smoke". A tired 455 Cadi motor, with a intake, carb, cam, exhaust and some stall will do that on a light car. Shit a plain 455 cadi with RWD a manifold swap and some nitrous will do that.

Ive seen Heavier cars with less HP wheelstand at Rankin Rd in Houson Texas street drags, seen same at the Bronx in NYC where guys are laying down 1500 a run for the serious stuff.

And the Supra ... for sure, ill get that and some others, onto digital and up on the tube (when i get to it), for you to gawk at. In the meantime jump on the tube and look up things like Walser Supra, Ken Hendersons Supra, Peter Black Supra, Ryan Woon Supra ... dont let me stop you.

And if you cant make it bite on the street with big slicks in a light body, someone is doing somethign wrong, or then you can always disclaimer that it makes 4267hp, but we cant make it hook up (but it makes 4267, the vid says so). You need to see some good street racing, and start with 2 fast 2 real.

There are some fast cars in that. Less power, but very fast.

Jme, afraid so.

[yeahlow34]

Posting your car up on youtube to promote how powerful/fast/incredible it is...to me....is fail.

The claims made are rarely proven correct with facts or substantiation. The mere fact that somebody felt the need to post it on youtube in the first place, makes me think it's a bullshit "look at me" antic anyhow.

Arguing over it is pointless. It is what it is. Have your opinion, but arguing over it is pointless IMO.

Uum NRE TV is Nelson Racings internet advertising.

something companies do to, you know, advertise themselves.

This isn't a 'look at my awesome car that must mean my dick is huge' clip. Its a clip promoting the workmanship thats gone into the car. I'm sure if you wanted to see a NRE car cut an 8, you'd go down to a yank drag strip when one is running. But as far as a likely customer is concerned, they are showing off its streetability, not its total performance package...

What Saf is saying is right on the money; it doesn't jump off the line like a 1600hp car. But then again, maybe he's just not ploughing his right foot through the firewall. But what Saf's getting at is there's no dyno graph, and no evidence to support all their claims.

The fact is that its a beautifully engineered drag car, with an astonishing fuel system and wild preformed oil lines, that can do awesome rolling burnouts on drag tyres. But there's no evidence of its power, its quater mile times, or how hard he's actually driving it.



Now stop crying ladies

[yeahlow34]

Uuuuuuum yeah, righto bud.

Because people looking into buying a super tough street/strip setup would look straight to "youtube" for where to buy...Especially with absolutely no details posted up regarding hp/dyno/quarter mile increments/etc.

So to me it's all wank, you know, something people do on youtube on a regular basis.

[Mad_Aussie]

yeahlow34, might want to check your watch. Its 2009, and a vast proportion of people do their shopping/research online. Having a collection of videos on youtube of your products opens your audience up quite a lot.

Youtube just so happens to be a universially accessible, quick loading, well known distribution network, and NRE just so happens to be utilising it for those people not wanting to download .wmv's of their products. Just because its on youtube doesn't necessarily mean its shit. Lots of people use it.

[yeahlow34]

Awesome.

2 Turbos, 2 fuel tanks and 2 Radiators, This car is awsome,

so drag slicks are good street tyres now ? yeh......nah

and yeh of course the cars at the street drags are going to launching that hard? because perhaps they are setup for the street aaaah drag?, and they are DRAGING? hence launching as hard as they can ? not babying the fukn throttle and trying not to lose it into a pole in a clients car? if i was going to spend 100k on a car and had access to videos of how the thing is going to be on the street, then id definately use them to my advantage.. from the youtube videos, they show they biuld ridiculously powered cars with serious time going into the biuld quality.why i even bother replying is everything you try use as evidence to fault the car, is either not relevant or not able to be proved how about just enjoying the fact someone has smashed a twin turbo v8 into a series 2 rx7, tubbed it to shit and is happy to allow it to be filmed doing rolling burnouts on the street..much more then i see from alot of workshops/car owners building large powered cars.

[iluv2moan]

i emailed an american company regarding their aluminium tailshafts they make... this is how he used youtube to advertise his product haha

"Here is a video link for a Mustang that has one of our aluminum shafts:

You really need to find someone else to test, someone who may believe the "theories" you have.

To answer your "yea nah", i say YES. Why ? Because its actually running a set of Hoosier D.O.T. drag radials designed for the street. Note the sidewall pattern, and the fact that you can see they are a old tired set (maybe a supporting factor in what ive been saying for a while), as you can barely see the twin grooves in the contact patch surface at 0:12sec.

DO you know what D.O.T. stands for ?. And since when do drag slicks not work on the street ?. The rubber density is soft and after you spin them up they work perfectly (as you can see by my previous links of cars launching). Its street tyres that dont work on the strip, they are resistant of oils, coolants and most importantly, VHT style traction compounds that fail to break up the rubber molecules in the street tyre.

BTW here is a link to the DOT slick it runs.

This is a street car to suit drag, not drift, not circuit or autocross. It has plates, lights, indicators, interior (dash) ... and they even make mention of how it runs on 91 (thats RON + MON / 2) octane to sell how streetable it is. Thats a street car. And forgot to add, i dont hate the car or have anything against the guys who built it, you said that, not me. Im un-biasly commenting on what i see. Thankfully others see what im getting at.

[Mad_Aussie]

Well come on Saf, you are one of the few people here who takes heed to logic
