Ey i was wondering what 1/4 mile times you guys out there are getting and a breif low down on whats done to thecar?

The reason i ask is im takeing my car down to heathcote raceway tomorow with the cordia boys

and i wanted to c where abouts i sit in comparason

i've got a manual series 1 r33 rb25de

only mods atm are zorst clutch custom intake with poddie. cars getting weighed down a bit with a real nice body kit

Im in the process of turboing it and i have the intercooler all set up planning on running 1 or 2 runs with the intercooler running just to c what happens. i know there was at least one post about intercooling an n/a everyone says its not worth it n from the 10 mins of driving with it on i rekon i hasnt changed the cars power up or down but ey 1/4 mile trials will tell all of you out there that its prob not worth doing.

anywayz ill post up my times at the end of the day tommoz or mabye sun if i get home to late

Hey dude, with a big body kit and 17 inch "heavy" chromies back when it was a 2.5 NA i managed a best of 15.8 and 14.01 with a 75HP shot of gas, car had extractors, custom intake, 2.5" straight through exhaust and a home tuned SAFC, also had a big fiber glass body kit.

yo im back from the day out today can i say it was a mad day wiked turn out mostly old evo's and wrx's but all fun

I did my first two runs with the intercooler all piped up for anyone considering doing it DONT, i ran a 16.7 and 16.8

i did one amazing 14.15 which i think was an computer error

i ran two 15.5 runs @ about 88.92 mph

and i ran consistantntly 15.6-15.8

which i think is pretty good out of the n/a baby

i just don't understand...

so you have read the post about intercooling an NA... but you did it anyway????

i mean, don't just look at it, READ IT

we were writing these things for a reason - its just not going to do ANYTHING

thats not true it made the car slower.

thankz na r33

waz i read all the stuff and i knew it wasnt going to help the car i just though i would confirm it. The reason i had the intercooler on is because im getting the car ready to turbo it, i didnt pay for piping or anything it was just a test which didnt cost me anything and was fun to try out

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
