Hey guys im about to go to a drag strip and was wondering what sort of time i should be getting around roughly.

Healthy running Auto rb25det motor, ecr33 series 1 coupe, with 255rears and 235 fronts

Mods:

Apexi pod cai

3" exhaust with split dump

hybrid fmic

turbotech boost tap @ 9-10 psi

im thinking the wheels will slow me down as theyre so big, but would help traction as well, what do ppl launch their autos at?and how (hold the brake down and rev????)

im hoping to crack a 13 (high) pass???any chance, hasnt been tuned yet, would increasing the boost for the run help of not??

the bigger the better i say

16"s with 225 on my auto 2L spun half the track

from a 3500-4000rpm launch, 1 foot on the brake & other on the gas

15.1 stock except exhaust and pod

i now have 18" 265's so ill be heading out to WSID soon to see if it spins again.

p.s the bigger the wheel the more terminal velocity you will have when picking up speed down the track. i.e slower off the mark,but more top end speed.

he said he had an auto box so he won't have a pfc :P

i would probably look at getting some form of piggy back ecu and getting it installed/tuned, then taking it down the strip. or even just get a dyno run with the increased boost just to make sure the AFR are ok before blasting it down the track all night.

i think a mid 14 is more likely.

why is the auto slower than the manual counterpart????, i feel my bottom end is really good, its the top end which feels very flat to me????, why is this??i would've thought it the other way around?is this a factory turbo thing, or cause it hasn't been tuned.

Btw im thinking of getting an safcII and have it tuned, instead of going manual/power fc just jet.

p.s my dump pipe will be installed coming monday, will this prove gains in my top end, my 1st and 2nd gear feel good, after 3 it's losing power im sure of it heheh

Just thinking of what to do now....

Edited by nsta

just to let everyone know i ran 14.3 with 185rwhp.. with no top end (rb25det with rb20 turbo it would drop off boost after 5000rpm) -(car(r33) had exhuast (catback and front pipe no dump) airfilter, clutch)

so i think 13's is very doable with ur current setup :(

lol you wish. 300hp on stock turbo at 12psi is never going to happen.

not sure of the psi lvl but i know of a few rb25det running stock turbos getting close to if not hitting 300rwhp

ive got an rb25 (auto) with:

FMIC

Pod + heat sheild

hi flo cat

3" exhaust cat back

and on stock tyres, 6psi boost and no real launch i ran a 14.7, with decent launch i got 14.5...

i got my boost controller this 2days back and im getting proper tyres

front 235/40 and rear 265/40

now with 10psi n decent tyres i will run a 14 flat with no dramas im guessing, but we will c in a few weeks, so its not impossible

well rough idea for you i am geting 13.4's with 265 35 18" rims, gtst 33 200+rwkw constant wheel spin in first, WSID is a slippery track. Next run i am getting some 16" rims with 225 65 slicks, should break into the 12's. Also i have no camber kit, which is giving me lots of neg camber (not much tread in a straight line but lots a round corners)

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
