I am aiming to make my car capable of running flat 14's but have had some conflicting advice on how to do so.

Was wondering if any ppl on here had similar powered cars and if so exactly wat mods u've done to achieve this.

So far I've heard u need:

1:

Full exhast with 2 chambers dump pipe

FMIC

POD

Boost to 9PSI

2: All of above plus Z32 aiflow meter

3:All of above + PowerFC or GREDDY equivalent

Plz keep in mind i dont wanna F$%K my stock turbo so i wanna run 14flat safely without doing any damage

Can ne1 help?

Full turbo-back exhaust (3inch) - $1000

Replace standard panel filter with a K&N Filter - $100

Bleed valve (10-12psi)- $100

FMIC - $1000

Adjustable exhaust cam gear - $180

= $2,380 + fitting

This should give you up around 180rwkw with a healthy engine. Using decent quality roadworthy standard size tyres (225/50/16) you should be able to do consistent 13.5-14.0 sec with a 1.9-2.0sec 60ft at around 100-103mph, the rest just comes down to driver ability and how long your clutch will last.

Edit: You won't need an Apexi PowerFC, but it certainly would help and you certainly won't need a Z32 AFM (until you change turbo's atleast but by then you will also need a new fuel pump and injectors).

If you run it at 12psi all day every day you may experience problems but for 14sec a few times every now and then you wont have any problems.

Your clutch will be fine.

Do a search for the Exhaust cam gear, plenty of info available including a thread I created with before and after results.

I did a 13.2 running my car the way how it is:

hardwalled circuit semis. Rock hard coilovers. lowered quite a bit, so too much negative camber affecting traction (-2.5d).

12psi. full exhaust. stainless steel magic cat. No aftermarket ecu.

twin plate clutch with lightened flywheel.

I must admit though, I am really crap at drag racing. If it wasn't for the twin plate, I woulda probably killed the stock clutch in one outing.

PS: I run 12-13 psi all day everyday, and I don't drive it easily. It is still strong after 2 years, and god knows how long or what boost the jap owner ran it on.

I don't see any problem in blowing the stock turbo. They're cheap as chips (around the 3-400 mark for an r33 turbo). I'm happy to blow it and change it myself.

Yea but u could blow ur engine in the proccess of blowing turbo, i'd be carefull

Mate as you can see in my sig, i have done a 14.04. the car is virtually stock, the mods i have are dump pipe off turbo, 3inch exhaust. thats it really. I run stock turbo, stock FMIC, stock ecu and standard boost. Ohh and that run was on shitty falkens 326's, worst tyre ever!!! well maybe not worst but damn close.

2rismo, I understand that you have extensive experience, and i've been following your progress.

Every car is different. I understand that some cars like benm's was only getting 14s with around 200rwkw. There are others like that.

I can only offer the experience I have from my car. Refer to above. With a catback, pod filter. stock boost. hardwalled circuit semis, I did a 14.01. I have a timeslip at wsid to prove it.

Then with the mods I mentioned above, I did a 13.2. My car is totally not setup at all for drag with the rock hard suspensions, lowered, way too much neg camber. But that's just what my car did. Maybe it's a freak?

I can tell it's definitely the stock turbo, because when I changed the dump, I verified that.

I call that driver ability, i'm now only doing 12.3sec with a 310+ kw gtr when I should be doing mid 11's.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
