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)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
