Paradis' Red Hot HCR32...2007

[cschepp]

must ask why not a rb?

[DrMango]

Why not an SR?

Kyle

[Paradis]

what snail on it? how long ago was it built?
2.2 or 2.3?

Kyle

gt35R, and its brand new. only 300 kms on it. 2.2

must ask why not a rb?

cause its a beast. and it was for sale for the right price!

[DrMango]

were you out rippin a couple days ago on 67th just comming into red deer from sylvan Chris? Red HCR with 3 spokes was spotted but wasnt sure

Kyle

[Paradis]

ya that was me. i was running an errand out to LS, pulling the motor from the other car. havenīt pulled mine yet. doing it next friday


...lol, damn, make one run with the car and iīve been spotted! hah, who saw me?

[DrMango]

my girlfriends friend was gawking over it and then bragged to Amy about seeing a nice skyline


Kyle

This will be a sick build with the SR!


Prepare to lower your front stance more than what it is now with the rb after you save hundreds of pounds off the front end

[DreadedFist]

I vaguely recall seeing an sr powered r32 gtst somewhere before.. Maybe a JDM magazine or something. All I know is that you're going to lose that wonderful straight six sound... And hundreds of pounds of weight, while gaining displacement. lol, it's gonna be rad.

Now I want to do an sr20 swap, too

November 2009 Issue of ImportTuner perhaps?
Theres a really nice red R32 with an SR20 in it.
Thing was making just over 400WHP,
and i remember them mentioning
very noticable differences in the handling.
The R32 felt much nimble and was noticably lighter apparently.
Should be an interesting swap!
But it still wont compare to that amazing RB sound

[DrMango]

It wont be hundreds of pounds lighter. I dont know where that idea came from..

SR20DET - 149 kg 328 lbs w/o tranny
SR20DET 490 lbs w/ tranny

KA24DE - 540 lbs
-Complete engine/5spd tranny
-No power steering pump
-No air conditioning compressor
-Dry

RB20DET - 584 lbs
-Complete engine/5spd tranny
-No power steering pump
-No air conditioning compressor
-Dry

There is definitely a difference looking at these numbers but strap a GT35R on the SR over the Neo RB25 turbo he has now etc. Weight is looking a lot closer to 580 lbs

except that itīs a B.Crower built engine, no iron caste block my friend



iīve got a bunch of pictures and stuff at home of the engine. iīll load it when i get back from mexico next week.

So should i start a SR swap thread?

[DrMango]

fair enough. I would think a big benefit will be the weight sitting closer the the fire wall too.
Have fun in mexicali

Kyle

[Paradis]

Agreed, trimming down a few pounds will be nice, but iīve never been one to get all up my carīs face about her weight. I want response, power, and agility on the roads

[DrMango]

we all want more power

I would start a new build thread once you start the buildup

Kyle

[M13]

could you weigh your car (wet) before and after?

It'd be cool to see what the net difference would be. (not to compare engine weights but more to see how much you lose overall (even with bigger turbo)
