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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
