Bjorn325 HotWok-N12 from Sweden
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:50 pm
Hi everyone.
Since the group finally got a real BB,
I cant resist the chanse of letting you know whats going on with my N12.
I know some of you are searching through my forum in Sweden
with translators trying to understand whats going on wich I think is pretty cool...
...but now I hope some less enthusiastic people might get more enthusiastic. =)
My name is Bjorn Holmberg, I live in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm.
My car is pretty rebuilt nowdays, and I have ben rebuilding it for the past 20 months.
When it left the factory i Japan 1986 it was told to be a Nissan Cherry Turbo N12.
It was brownish-grey when I bought it in December 2000. Before that I had no experience from turbo charging what so ever.
I learnt turbo charging the hard way. First engine swap was done outside on a parking lot.
After three years of tuning, and four years of ownership I managed to run 11,53 @ 402m
Then I took it apart and built what I now have.
Since its not completely finnished yet, I cant tell exactly what it is, but it IS a beast. =)
The chassie is basicly rebuilt with tube pipings. Stock rear swingarms.
Volvo 850 Turbo gearbox, driveshafts, hubs and brakes in front.
Engine: SR20DE from a P10 Primera pretty modifyed.
Saentz rods, JE pistons, Kelford cams, valvesprings and retainers, Tommei lashcaps, custom cam sprockets, ARP bolted head, Tommei MLS head gasket, Cleveite77 bearings, very ported head.
Custom exhaustmanifold, Turbosmart 45 Wastegate, Garrett GT42R, Iveco Intercooler, 50mm custom dumpvalve, 75mm Acufab Throttle bodie mounted on a custom intakemanifold.
Custom cooling system with a Meziere electrical waterpump.
Stock valves and crank.
Autronic SMC, MSD DIS4-HO, Two Bosch 044-fuel pumps, Innovative Multistep boost control.
The list could go just on and on... =)
The engine leaves 915BHP @ 8100rpm at crank with 42PSI boost. No nos.
Hoping for a nine-second pass...
Wheels: Black steel rims. 28-10-15 Hoosier slicks in front. 145-70-13 street tyres in rear.
Other: Plastic front end of body in one piece. Koni adjustable shocks
Future Plans: Build the fastest N12 in the world doesnt seem too impossible? =)
