it depends on what the dyno mode they were using :S....

im not sure what 259 hp equates to but i would guess just under the 200kw??(please correct me anyone)

to me, times at willowbank are only good for yourself, when i will finlaly go up to race, i have nothing to prove to no one, just try to get my times better...

if im doing 1 second slower to cars that are more stock, i wont care, in my mind i just want to improve,

but for your info, belgarion with lower boost has got a 14.1

r33 girly u can only really roughly compare between times, ive pulled 14.1 on stock boost controler where as others with more boost have done mid 14s.

something seriously amis with my car atm tho, i can only get 14.4 or higher...

edit :- whoops forgot the point to my message.

yer u can only really compare ur times, obviously the more times you go down the strip, the better you are going to get at launching it ect, try lowering tyre pressures, softer tyres theres a few things u can try.

If you do that though its not street trim

If you alter your car in any other way than how you would drive it down the coast on a thursday night, or even drive it to the shops, it's not street trim. So whats the point in removing interior, lowering tyre pressure.... putting ice on your intercooler.

I'm a firm believer in going to the race track and see what your car would do in "street trim" form.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
