In this video we have a look at a Nissan skyline killing Suzuki Cappuccino and talk to the owner about the parts he used to get it to drive like it does.
What is meant when he says it's a monster engine? Like, is the engine different or have any key monster sport under pinnings that a Suzuki F6a is lacking?
True true. But still fun to see the cars race each other. I also made a race version Cappu in gran tursimo and raced a bunch of cars around Tsukuba and won.
"To be fair" when there was nothing fair about this to begin with. A 6 Cylinder 400HP SKYLINE vs a 3 cylinder 130HP Cappuccino. Make the skyline run on 3 cylinders to be fair. LMAO
@Garage Kei it reminds me of a race 2 friends competed in recently. One was on a 180hp Yamaha R1 and the other on a 44hp Kawasaki Ninja 400. Because the track was smaller the 400 passed the R1 and the R1 couldn't catch up. If they were at a bigger track where the R1 could actually use its power it would've been different. But at the end of the day at Nikko the Cappus won and that's what matter!!! Kei for life!!!
I knew someone would bring that up.... I'm not sure. Speculation was made but we weren't given a full pre and post race brief from the skyline race team on what their official excuse for getting thrashed was but I'm sure it would have been something like that.😂😂😂 If you agree to race and your car isn't up to scratch then that's on you and there is no excuses to be made. "Oh but the car was misfiring". Then why did you race? I used to care about stuff like that deeply. Then I saw the recent Kei car drag race video that was a total and utter balls up and gave up on it. The fact is it lost. the reason why is totally irrelevant. In this case it's 660cc f6a vs a 2600cc RB26 that's over 3 times the displacement. Cappuccino has a curb weight of 725kg. 2 of the 3 cars that run are full interior and everything. bigger intercoolers etc so could be even heavier... Skyline is double that at 1430kg looked to be full interior. We didn't get a claimed HP rating for the 3 Cappuccino that beat the skyline but I'd guess 130-150 HP max. The skyline came in boasting 400hp... Double the weight. Without question more than double the HP.... 4wd and got chopped off the line..... He lost by a LOT... Wasn't even close. He never had his car. So where do the excuses begin and end? Was it backfiring. Was the driver feeling sick? Was he texting!?!? Did the driver give up after the first Cappuccino passed him? Dunno... The result is the result.. Nothing else matters - Metallica
Would've been an entirely different outcome had the skyline been running right. The cappuccino is fantastic but you've left out that the skyline was running like shit. 4wd Skylines with 400hp shouldn't get chopped off the line like that.
I didn't leave anything out because this video wasn't about the Skyline.. The driver of the Skyline decided that the car was good to go end of story about the "misfiring". His reaction time is the reason he was slow off the line. His understeering on turn 2 is why he lost second position. This was the result. That's literally all that matters. No one came to the evo's defense when it got CHOPPED by the cappuccino that came in 3rd place this time. LOL
How? At what point does jamming an overweight (and oversized) GM part into a kei car make it better? Traditionally modifying Japanese cars with American parts has been a recipe for disaster...
@@dirkhasse2681ok for 1 Chevy 6 speeds dominate the aftermarket And 2 a 10 speed for that low of a displacement engine would keep it in the power band at all times
I Googled "American 10 speed" and all I got was a bicycle. The problem with most transmissions is that they're too long. This car already chopped a skyline using a stock gearbox. Changing the transmission will only make the car heavier and therefore slower. On top of that, for me, after beating a skyline with a 3 cylinder 660cc engine, the game has already been won There is no need for a different gearbox.
@@GarageKei Ford and Chevy make 10 speeds and likely other than a brief ignition cut could constantly flat shift all over the track I said a 10 speed could do wonders not that it was necessary especially for the small track Japan has And on second thought if any improvements could really be gained from a new transmission a transaxle from a c5 Corvette or a reverse pinion Subaru with some moderate fab work for a better weight balance could be a big jump on weight balance
I disagree. From all the previous unlimited budget cappuccino builds I've seen I think you'll make the car slower because you're just adding weight. Not to mention the gear shifter will be in the trunk. The cappuccino revs so high that you don't drop out of boost when you shift anyway.

They were playing Zeta Gundam music in the background. Damn, I love Japan.
I wish they bloody wouldn't. TH-cam flags copyright sometimes and mutes the whole video.
Каждый раз умиляюсь, когда вижу Капучино на фоне "полноразмерных" машин
Wow ok yeah this is definitely one of the coolest cappuccino builds I’ve ever seen. Very inspired by a lot of what he has going on here. ❤
lol I just realized you were at the same show as Noriyaro. I wonder if I could ever build my CV21S Wagon R to this stage of insanity
Yep. It was a little coincidence. The gaijin in a car episode happened on this day as well.
Cv21s... Nice 👍
Hi from the UK. My Cappuccino is the best in the world. It has been fully restored to the standard Suzuki spec.
Hi, welcome. Did you join the Club Cappo Facebook group yet?
So you're a purist?
Awesome vid man
it’s a Suzuki sports limited !!!!
lovely!!!!
What is meant when he says it's a monster engine? Like, is the engine different or have any key monster sport under pinnings that a Suzuki F6a is lacking?
It's an engine that was fully assembled at monster sport.
You can learn more about it here:
www.monster-sport.com/product/parts/complete_eng/f6a.html
Better than my bucket haha
Damn, I'd love to do those bits to my cappo and go up to 1.8 bar of boost haha
Engine intervals are just forged pistons and a metal head gasket.. that's about $1200 though. I can't afford that. 🤣😅
He said 1.8 and I thought Holy hell that's a lot. Mine big car only boosts to like 1.2 bar.
But does your car have forged internals? The F6A crank and rods are forged from factory. Add pistons and you're good to go
@Garage Kei maybe someday but that's a lot for a Volvo!!! Lol
@@GarageKei got to get it done 😃
Nice...
Niiice.
Kei FTW
dude that car is mad, the alto is a suzuki sport limited i think?
Definitely the coolest 😎
If mine can ever be half of this I’d be a happy man!
Glorious isn't it!?
Benim yaşadığım ülkede birtane olmasını isterdim
To be fair, the skyline did have issues. You can check it out in Noriyaro's video.

@@GarageKei reckon that's the power total the ? 130hp?
I don't know for sure.
Loving these shorter videos
Why? Attention span of a fish?
@@GarageKei YES!
Does this guy have a page?
I believe it's this guy:
vaqeratta-c.net/
How can I get in touch with the owner??
I don't know him personally. I'm sure he is on twitter somewhere. Why do you want to talk to him?
epok
Still want one with a 13B in it
A lot of people do. I don't understand why.
@@GarageKei everything is better with a 13B (mini fd rx7) 👌
There are dozens of reasons why that's not true.
want a cappuccino so bad
One of the best cars Japan ever made.
@@GarageKei I wouldnt even call it the Best but its prob one of the More cheaper ones
Not as cheap as they used to be unfortunately 😕
Wasnt that skyline misfiring though?
I knew someone would bring that up....
I'm not sure.

Yeah, sounds like the ignition is breaking up really bad.
Call me crazy but adapting an American 10 speed to this bad boy would probably do wonders
