i feal kinda dumm what is a vitara

buzzbomb

excellent work!
makes me want to do vitara build too.
can't wait to see track times with the 'real' trans and bisi cam.

he is using stock pistons from a suzuki grand vitara.

very popular for budget turbo single cams.

Just to add to that, he is making 600+hp on a CAST piston, not forged! Very impressive!

you say so much usable power......for what only 3000 rpms?

I bet it takes a "while" to get to those rpm's.....

how much lag does it have from a dead stop?

looks like it takes roughly 6300 ish rpms to get the car going...

I'm not dissing this build in anyway....just trying to understand how a 3000 rpm power band in a window of 9000 rpms has much "usable power"....

guess I'm just used to instant power from a V8, not having to wait until 6000 rpms to start making power.....which is where I normaly shift..

I think these guys are used to the way 4-cylinders deliver power, and you are just used to the way a V8 delivers power, bro dude....

Being that V8's have like twice the rotational mass, they tend to be low rpm engines (low RPM meaning below 6000rpm) and 4 cylinders at usually a 1/3rd of the size can't make low-end torque due to their not being much momentum behind it's rotational mass, and are high RPM engines.

Take a SBF (small block ford) that can spin 9k to 10k rpm, but even then the nature of engines like that are strictly top end (high rpm engines) and would not be the greatest below their curve.

For street puproses you can't beat the off-idle torque of a V8, IMO.

Thats why us turbo guys have two steps with antilag!!!!!

Mr. Kit

James, could yo post the difference between this +600whp setup, and your last set up of +470whp ????

I know the turbo now is bigger, but any other substancial change on the setup to reach this freaking numbers ???

thehatchninja

I never would have believed someone if they tried to tell me about a setup like this making 600+. Simply amazing.
