Paradis' Red Hot HCR32...2007

**Paradis** · 08-16-2007, 12:22 AM

ENGINE SWAP COMING...

***UPDATED TO INCLUDE WORK in 2009

What the hell hey? I haven't really posted any updates on what i was doing with my car since early this spring and even then i hadn't really updated the whole concept since last year..

So here she be, my 91 HCR32. Not much in terms of the outside changed, most of the work i did was all performance. This year go, next year show

I'm too lazy to list everything, but basically i threw in an R34 high flowed turbo in, did the fmic, upgraded the fuel delivery system, did some engine management, and put in the side feed plenum.
End result was it dyno'd at about 325whp @ 16psi. My cluth is barely hanging in there :-P . Doubt i'll get around to changing that this season. Probably get a hypersingle next spring.

Its about as fast as i need it to go, or as much as i care to push the rb20, i think i'd sooner get an r33 down the road instead.

**the Run down:
RB20DET, purchased with 80K on it. 1 previous owner, no accident history. stock to the bone, except the suspension and a GTR hood

Looks really sweet. That interior is mint and that intake lol really nice good job.

**rockcrete** · 08-16-2007, 12:46 AM

Looks good Chris. Especially that 1000HP intake you bolted on to it

**Paradis** · 08-16-2007, 02:01 AM

yah, that plenum is quite the eye catcher on first glance. It does the job and it gets me spooling well before 3 grande. Honestly it did stand out drastically when i put in there, but after a few months, it fits right in, and i prefer it any day instead of the overhead feed to the side mount ... :sick2:

that engine bay could use a wash though hey.. :-o

Your car looks fantastic! Good job! Is that a custom made intake plenum? I remember someone made one similar to that! And 325whp is more than decent!

Hey, did you ever figure ouit the idleing problem?

i was talking to the guy who tuned denis's car and setup that plenum. He says that he ended up puting some sort of restrictor in the aicv inlet hose. If it's still a problem i can get you his contact information if you like.

Hey! A mango sighting. So what are we going to do with your car man? I heard you had a break through with finding the culprit.

Matt- yah i did get it figured it out. It was a combination of problems to with the throttle body, it's cable and few minor tweaks. The lock washers were shot on my manifold and the bolts were loosening themselves when i boosted hard for little while. Its runs great now, sauf being too rich, especially on decel.
** and ya, i did have to unplug the AAC valve completely. It needs a good 5-10 mins to warm up now before i go anywhere.

On my one "try to keep up with a supercharged Z06" setting, i run about 1.4 bar or so. Nothing like kickin the ol RB20 with 20psi
