broke my drag racing virginity thursday night at Willowbank, QLD

car:

r32 gtst

rb20det automatic

155rwkw

time:

ET = 14.714

speed = 98mph

60' = 2.503

The 2 things that were hurting me:

takeoff with the auto and rb25 turbo was hard. stomped on accelerator and brake and pulled up handbrake, but couldn't build positive manifold pressure as it has an rb25 turbo that's slightly too big to get boost at that load

i run out of power about 6000rpm as seen on the dyno, so the auto changing at 7500rpm wasn't helping.. would ideally have changed at 6500rpm of there abouts

any ideas to improve?

does that mph match the ET?

i'm considering a shift kit and going to ring MV automatics next week..

cheers,

Warren

hi what are the mods are you running and the boost

a 14.7 is ok a ba xr6 turbo only runs 14.9

here is a link with all the ba xr6 turbo specs

I don't know if these things will work for you but...

1)a: S-AFC to sort out the top end AFR's a tad.

b: R32 ROM reprogram or other ecu to sort out the ignition maps that aren't going to suit the cams you now have. This is probably the biggest probelm the motor has at the moment.

2) Do the trans. Stall and shift kit it.

3) Have you gutted the standard R32 box of that air baffle thingo they have? If not probably do that and make sure there is a nice clean air feed (not familiar with r32 gtst's tho')

The MPH is better than the E.T, 2.5 sec 60ft even with over reving shifts means you got a 13 second car at the moment if you can knock it down to a 2.1 or so.

thanks for the advice, rev210... jsut what i was after

i will be doing the ECU, but what i was waiting for was for my other engine mods to be done first. i'm not going to be doing much else to theengine for a while (have just done rb25 turbo and cam gears), so new EPROM is the go i think

trans will be next, however. shift kit is a definate. high stall? well i'm not sure that thie would suit the fact that its an everyday driver and lack of low-down torque is the problem at the moment.. i mean i could try to get like a 2300-2500rpm torque converter maybe? like a small increase? not sure about my options though and how much it will cost..

my airbox has been heavily tampered with. i have removed the baffles and re-routed 2 ram-air feeds.. next quarter run i might remove the air filter too..

a 13sec car?? really?? so you think dropping 60' by 0.4 will take almost a second off the ET?? hmmmmm

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
