reaction time bears no relevance on the 1/4 time

you can have a 20s reaction time and still run 12s

So I will run a 12s if I launch after 20s...thats funny Paul.

I had to reply to this......

OH.....the topic....GTR High 12's 230KW street tyres at street pressure.

GTSt.... High 12's 250KW slicks at 18Psi...after a massive burnout.

Umm....yes that's exactly right. What's your question exactly?

The topic is R33 gtst and high 12's. If you need 250kW and slicks you're a worse driver than my nan and she's 6 feet under. :P

R/T has NOTHING to do with your ET. ET is measure once you break the start beam, regardless of when the light goes green.

I thought the question was related to a drag strip....lights and all...so 20s reaction time sounded funny.

Traction is important...and getting power to the ground even more important....to be able run

say 3 to 4 high 12's in a row (Between say 12.6 to 12.9) would require a great driver at 200kw's.

And to run with a 250kw would require a moderate driver...

Sorry...I might have mis-understood the object of the drag strip...

Is it not the first to cross the line?..

Are we not at the drag strip when we record this time?

My I am bad. :huh: ...lol..

Take everything back :P

Back last year in the July SAU TNT i was running 198rwkw at the time and I ran a 13.4 with a bad launch and no traction til 2nd gear...

Plus i screwed my clutch doing the burn out so it sliped in top gear...

So all in all if i had a good clutch a high 12 is quite possible from an R33 with 200rwkw... Assuming you get a good launch down and have grippy tyres...

I now have 300rwkw+ so im heading for 11 seconds on street rubber in two weeks time on the 3rd of March... :P

Yes, we're talking about racing at a drag strip (where else are you going to race?).

Obviously if you are competing in a competition and racing the guy in the other lane, then reaction time is very important in winning the race. The topic of this thread doesn't relate to racing or crossing the line first though. It relates to running a high 12 ET, therefore reaction time isn't relevant as your only racing the clock, not the guy in the other lane.

For the record, 12.9 is very possible with 185rwkw - I know, I've done it :)

hey guys/gals im wondering how much rear wheel kilowatt do u need to achieve a high 12 second pass down the 1/4 mile in a r33 gtst?

im curious to see what ppl come up with cause i have no clue.. i know the driver plays a big role too.

if u can guys plz post your times with the power you made at the wheels

cheers :P

Racing some one down the 1/4 Mile lights and all 250kws ATW.

Racing yourself ie..ET 1/4 Mile 200 to 220kws...as stated no reaction time to consider...

I correct myself.. :huh:

Look at the sticky threads times and power ATW's ..although this will not indicate the set up

Suspension...Tune....Tyres...Temperature at the track...Fuel they run...etc..etc...can be mis-leading.

Some one told me this dunno if it's true 'cut the standard springs get them tempered softer and fit to standard struts' allows the car to get better traction off the line or something.

Cutting springs is Dangerous, never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER CUT your Springs.

NEVER

EVER

DO NOT DO IT

YOU WILL DIE

intresting to see how many ppl have gotten high 12's with only 200rwk...

im nervous as hell to run down the 1/4 and im predicted to have at least 210rwk with my setup... ive ran down the strip when it was dead stock and ran a 14.59 @ 97mph and id never raced down the 1/4 ever before that.

another question. cause im running my stock injectors with the mods previously stated whats a safe injector duty cycle when dyno'n? ( i have a heavy foot lol )

My experience (in an R31 coupe) is that the lesser your experience is then the more power you have will likely impede you.

I have only been to the strip once and had ~235rwkw and thought I was going to go home with a 12 second slip. I left with a string of flat 14s at around 108-110mph. The adrenalin rush, and my green racing experience resulted in the first two gears just being blazing wheelspin and bouncing off the limiter while trying to keep it straight. With less power I think I might of gone faster.

I had 210-220rwkw, 12.9 @ 109mph... and the car was 1400kg's

Its possible without a doubt

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
