Kizashi Club

Some of you are looking into significant performance modifications so I thought I'd bring back the Bonneville Special from 2010.

Suzuki America commissioned Richard Holdener and Tom Habrzyk of Advanced Product Engineering to build a 200+ mph Kizashi. It has over 513whp and 515tq with forced induction (16 psi) and built internals and was driven by Road & Track editor Sam Mitani.

Aside from brief articles, I was never able to find many details about it. Perhaps you guys will be more persistent!

Lol nice subtle comeback. Haha . Anyway should probably put the car throttle link up to they did a good write up too

Here I found out the measurements for the j24b out of the fwd 6mt kizashis

Pretty wicked! Anyone know how it did towards its goal?

It achieved 203.720 mph, exceeding the previous record of 202.301 mph.

Some more details:
- custom cams
- ported head
- forged pistons, rod
- Turbonetics 70mm kit (tuned to 22psi but ran at 16)
- 3.5" exhaust
- Spearco air to water intercooler
- Snow water injection
- ACT clutch, pressure plate
- Lucas 5w20

Some videos here but it's not very detailed: http://www.roadandtrack.com/special-rep ... ng-kizashi

Anything is possible with time and money!

Wow! I wonder where the car is today? Forget building anything, just buy that one.

At some point (speed) aerodynamics overcome cash, and you can only push a brick so fast.....


The Kizashi is one slippery brick, ay?

While the kizashi is somewhat heavy it Is a very aerodynamic car for it's class. Brick maybe but an aerodynamic brick .

I don't think I'll be building LSR Kizashi any time soon, but I might try using my hood prop rod in that way.
