Can this be done, well "friends" lets find out....

Friends Racing S14.5 Silvia runs 9.113!!!

Fantastic new results for Friends Racing, their Silvia is potentially the most powerful SR silvia in Japan

Escort Racing run 7.670 in their Type M Skyline

Escort Racing recently ran a 7.771 then a 7.670 to make them the fastest RWD pro Class car in Japan. There are a few cars tho in the making, that are trying to take that title back, one is Garage Saurus with the ex HKS 180sx, the other is Blitz Toyota Supra....so I hope this years final will be very interesting in Oct/Nov @ Sendai. I will be there with Kenta to grab many photos and movies :)


Garage Saurus Pro Drag R33 GTR 1100kg/1100ps

907ps at under 7000rpm on Endless-Racing RB26 2771cc engine

This 2771cc Rb26 is no ordanary stroker kit, its a full HKS Hideck drag racing engine, the very same that is found in HKS R33 GTR that ran 7sec passes in the early 2000s. This Dyno results below was the first time endless-r wound up the boost to 2.5kg/cm, the result is an astonishing 907ps (894hp) @ 6564rpm. Trust helped organise the dyno to test their T88-38GK 22cm turbo to get an actual power reading at its 2.5kg/cm limit. While all was going well, suddenly there was a huge bang....Sugino san knew exactly what had happened, we had blown off a boost pipe. (no problem he muttered, prepairing to re-tighten and make another run, however the local police thought otherwise. And I had to say, I would have complained also. The muffler on this car is soo noisy, no back boxes etc and has something like a 6" tail on the end.
The location of the dyno meant that the houses at the rear of the shop could hear everything, and sadly dyno operator and trust called it a day. But still what a power result, in 1000rpm it has a 600hp powerband! and thats wheel hp folks. Dynapac say a correction of 1.20 will give flywheel hp, that makes this car push out 1088ps (1073hp) at the flywheel. Although Sugino san and Trust were shocked at the power, I couldnt help think that any more RPM and this turbo will be into the choke line. Trust previously provided me with turbo data for the T88-38GK and the max PR is 3.5 (which we were at the limit) giving 14.7psi = 1bar. So great reasult, but I am sure the engine needs a bigger turbo...hmmm T100-R shi-yo-ka? :)


Garage Saurus R35 GTR 830cc injectors and Coilpacks

These are the injectors that Garage Saurus have for their R35 GTR 830ps run, as you can see, the injectors from doing the math can flow around more horse power, around 850hp to be exact, Shows that the engine of the R35 GTR is very efficient, hence I gave a VE of 0.50 which is about as good as you can get on a forced inducted engine.

New for me too see, is Okada Projects coil packs for the R35 GTR, and great to see aswell. They work very well on RB26 engines.

Garage Saurus smash 800hp mark with their R35 GTR

I am not sure for the world, but I know Garage Saurus lead the power development for the R35 GTR in Japan, I am sure this has put them some 200ps above other tuner demo cars. Their power from the trust turbos is very impresive. Parts are not availble yet, but I am sure they will be very soon. I do feel sorry for the transmission tho,
still, a joy to see. I wonder who will be the first to run a 9sec pass in the world? I know who my money would be on.

They Dyno data, shows a very impressive torque curve. Trust turbos did very well.

Fastest Tuners at Tsukuba circuit

Made this today, I know there is the possibility that some tuners are missing, but if pointed out I will update, but for now I hope this is pretty accurate.

One car missing from this list is the Prostock (formally Garage Ito) R34 Demo car. ProStock was started by the "then" customer of Garage Ito. I was told the body alone cost over 10,000,000 due to drycarbon etc. Prostock mention thats their target time is 53.111, their goal is to beat HKS lancer Evolution (however despite available data.....I would put my left nut on the fact that its under 1070kg and IS under the 1000kg mark). Still an amazing time however, yet fastest I have seen is F3000 which managed a 48lap of the infamous circuit...48sec!!!!!

Fastest cars in Japan

Welcome to the new blog.
I decided to make a new blog inform people of all tuning in Japan and not just Endless-R where I work.
I am to keep people informed about all tunning, Past, present and future.

So lets start off with some records:
I have made a list of what data I have of the fastest tuners in Japan, (on tarmac) so sorry Nardo doesnt count in this list. But some very fast times are to be found here anyway! Some times have been achieved on normal roads, some on circuit.
