GTR 35 vs EK9 street drag in Singapore!

[KingAbarth]

Probably the 1st video of a street drag of a highly modified EK9 vs a R35 with Mines ecu and exhaust.

Enjoy

CIVIC TURBO vs GT-R R35 PART 3 - DYNO TUNE & RACE - Video

[tokyogtr]

the owner of the gt-r must have been bored to bother doing a drag race.

[KingAbarth]

these stuff happens quite alot.. especially when a GTR (33, 34 or 35) is involved...

But its more ego boosting for the challenger.. cos if the GTR had won.. no one would have mention anything... a lose-lose situation.. LOL

but for fun.. why not..

If you look at the 1st pass, the GTR won by half a car.. while the civic on 1.4bar boost is doing ard 520bhp.. couple that with a 1.2ton body.. the result is promising...

I wont mind losing to a 580bhp turbo civic on a straight line.. but throw in a few bends.. guess who is saying hi to the trees??

[tokyogtr]

don't even worry about the bends. put it on the track and the civic will blow it's engine before 1 lap is up. plus it will overheat.

omg... i hope i don't sound like a porsche owner slagging off the gt-r.... AAARGH...

[mindlessoath]

its just for publicity. the mines ecu was not able to be tuned other than what it was set at.

motec could probably be setup on an R35 and raised the boost to such levels too. as long as it doesnt brake the trans it can go faster.

Two very different cars.. But I like both cars for different reasons..

lol... u do bark like one...for that moment...

I can't believe how much power that little 4 banger was putting out. Gotta give credit where it's due. The car has more hp/tq than the R35 and less weight, so a win is expected. Big props to the tuners!

[FiLi]

Nice vid...result more then expected seing the civic numbers!. In straight, of course.

Anyone know if there is already a GTR with Motec ECU? just curious about the results..

[kismetcapitan]

I'll drag anything, win or lose, because it's not the win, it's the run that gives me the adrenaline hit that I'm addicted to.

[kismetcapitan]

run a GT-R at 2 bars, then see what happens!!

There's a reason for that.

One of the best things about my car, is not only does it go like stink but I don't have to worry about anything going bang or falling off.

I can drive to Fuji Speedway, do some track sessions driving as hard as I can and then drive home again without any fuss.

The race is fun, but rather pointless. Depends what you want from your car I guess. Some people like to push the limits of what an engine can do. Personally I'd rather have something that I can rely on.

as my 35 is my daily drive i completely agree. if it was just a weekend/trackday/drag race dedicated car then of course i would explore much more power etc.

i wonder if that civic is a daily drive?
