SR20VE Pulsar

Graham’s SR20VE powered N14 Pulsar Gti rally car

Graham has owned and raced this car for around 10 years now. It was just a standard Pulsar when he first started racing it and now it is one of the top 2wd gravel sprint cars in the Wellington gravel sprint series, thanks to the help of the Shred Motorsport team.

Shred Motorsport started sponsoring this car at the start of 2010 when it was only producing around 120kw at the wheels. With their help, advice and brilliant tuning, it now has a 2L motor producing 156kw at the wheels on 98 pump gas.
