12.6's....on the standard turbo, I bet you still get mugs trying to tell you you have a high flow. I remember the looks of disapointment people had when they looked under the bonnet of my old gtst. At least yours has some bling front mount and carbon bonnet for people to say 'ooh ahh' at in the lanes.

I don't suppose the drag racing bug has you looking at altered dragsters yet does it? There's a category for people the french foregin legion won't let in.

250 shot ready yet?

Yes, that's right.

Yes, sadly they do.

HongKongSpecial Intercooler but no CFRP on the car at all. The bonnet just has a vent in it.

Late-model, turbo, injected bikes w/out wheelie bars are the new outcasts. Injected/rotary/4/6cyl cars get 28 new comp brackets and they can't get one?!?! WTF?!?!

250hp shot? Hahaha.... Out of interest though, my car makes 255hp (190kW) @ the rears without nitrous and 355hp (265kW) with it. That's with the 100hp jetting. Funny that huh?!?!

Adrian

Yes 250rwhp and yet people with supposedly more (on a dyno) can't run that fast....

Perhaps the dyno should be used only as a tuning tool and not for a 'look at mine' sport.

I totally believe a stock turbo can produce eleventy billion horsepower on a dyno (actually I don't really care) it's just that in the real world cars drive on roads not rollers so getting the stock turbo to run 12's on the 1/4 in a street trim R33 whale seems far more interesting.

incredibly sir

i was addressing the post above mine which suggested that our cars will all begin pinging at 13 psi....

Most agreeable then.

For a second there I thought you'd lost it.. :(

2rismo ran 12.6 with only 190kw at the rear wheels?

12.68 @ 107.09 mph - 1.78 60' - 3230lb race weight (me included obviously).

Plenty of other people have run 108mph but don't launch as well and therefore have slower ET's.

i just hit up the drags a few weeks back,

my car is an r33 with stock turbo (0.8bar of boost), hks-cat back, trust front pipe, stock dump, air filter + cai, fmic, ebc and coilovers. (car is kindof setup for drift, suspension wise, the rear was abit bumpy off the line and down the track)

and i was running

13.854 second

Terminal speed: 102.26mph / 165.15kph

Reaction Time: 0.230

60' - 2.261

330' - 5.983

660' - 9.038

660' Speed - 130.69kph

1000' - 11.643

i suck at launch thou, 2000,2500rpm :

Like lots of people with R33's your car had money spent on various mods that made it actually slightly slower or didn't improve anything. I would have left the intercooler alone (it's a silly mod for a stock turbo anyway) and done the dump pipe.

I still maintain that you can take a pretty stock R33 gtst and make it generally faster with the factory intercooler than 99% of the fmic equiped cars going around. Give me an good aftermarket core for the side mount and the remaining 1% won't keep up over the 1/4mile either.

the good news is you can get it down to 13.6 or so pretty easy if you can drop 0.1 or so off the 60ft

I ran 13.8's with :

Stock turbo.

Stock intercooler

Turbo back exhaust.

pineapples

205 tyres.

consistant 13.4's with:

above

+ lightweight flywheel

Turbo 33's all have vvt and the s2 engines have a very similar turbo to the 34's(plastic front wheel).

My 289rwhp(stock turbo) took my car to a 12.7 @ 107 mph. It was a commodore ute but still weighed over 1400kg's..

Looks like the car hooked up ok off the line, you got another tenth or so there with that terminal.

What diff ratio and gearbox did you have?

My R33 is making 265hp with full 3" exhaust, air filter and safc at stock boost (9psi)

I've run a 13.4@105mph, 2.18 60'.

Hoping for 12s with fmic and power fc soon...

If your keeping the stock turbo for this attempt you don't need a fmic at all to do the time. Power FC is a good bet though.

Hey rev210,

Having an auto R33 and not doing over the top mods, what sort of time should one get? and if you don't mind could you list some mods that would help or you recommend? I've seen that you said you had pineapples on, sorry I'm not familiar with what they are (I know it's for better traction) , is it anything major and would effect everyday driving etc?

What I've don so far to it:

3" turbo back exhaust

POD (making an enclosed shield for it)

Stock intercooler

Bigger turbo (not boosted yet)

Cheers!

had mine dynoed at hyper drive (r33 s2)

it's stock turbs with fmic,pob filter,3" dump and zorst std boost setting

did 256rwhp, lumpy said that was alittle high but normal enough

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
