S13 breaks land speed record at El Mirage
Hi Everyone,
This past weekend we broke the SCTA "H/PS" class land speed record in our S13 240SX. For those of you who might not be familiar with land speed racing classes, "H/PS" is basically a class for stock bodied cars with a turbocharged engine of 1.0-1.5L. We designed and built a "SR15VET 20V" engine so we could specifically run in this class. On our first shakedown pass we were timed at 165.510 MPH, which was over 30 MPH over the existing record. We know we can go a lot faster, but are saving the motor for Bonneville next month where we are aiming to set a record at over 200 MPH. For more details, read up on the link below. Enjoy, Project 240SX Sets a Land Speed Record at El Mirage |

they actually said in that article that they won't cover the details of the engine build. the fuck? someone tell those guys to start up a build thread. I care little for the car i just want to know what magic they used to build that thing.
did Nissan ever have a 20v head? I thought they always had 16v heads and then developed ones with more efficient head designs with better flow. edit: sorry didn't realize the people from the build posted this, MORE ENGINE DETAILS!

Project 240sx LSR Also the "20v" designation is misleading. Its not a 20 valve, instead 20v is what nissan called the last and best of the SR20VE engines. In other words, "sr20ve 20v." this is where we got our head from. |
