And for the sakes of it, i reckon 250 rwkw should see you with a 11 with a good launch. I ran 12.18 with only 231rwkw.

was that with semi slicks or streeters when u ran that 12.98?

impressive time though man :wave:

what setup were you running when you ran both those times bud?

what would my r33 manual do with 317rwkw ? with 265 street rubber and with some nice slicks?

Could it be a 10 second car?

NO NO NO.....Mid 11's with slicks great lauch no wheel-spin.

Will only be a 10s if you push 400rwkw+

So need more power and be able to put it to the ground to get 10's.(NITROUS MAYBE) :wave:

400rwkw+ is not required for a 10-sec pass in a RWD car around 1400kg mark.

A good launch and sticky tyres and around 330-370 (depending on the setup which plays a big part) will net you a 10 easy enough.

You might even get there with 317, although im not sure exactly if it will or not.

Well into the 11's quite easily though.

400rwkw+ is definately not required for a high 10

Just my 2c,

Again I think its more upto the set-up rather than the power the vehicle is making...(power is a contributing factor, dont get me wrong.)

R33GOD, practice makes perfect thats all there is to it. The people posting that they ran hi 12s with 200rwkw did not do it on their first run ever, well I assume anyway. They have probably been going out a few times to practice there launches and get their 60fts down low and experimenting what rpm to change gears at...its all fun.

RE: running 10s -At that power level people usually are more consistant with quicker times with a built auto and soft suspension..

To put things into perspective, I know of many VL Turbos running hi 10s with just over 300rwkw...

example..320rwkw, hi-stall convertor, slicks, soft suspension(90/10 front shocks) etc etc, + slicks equats to 10.9's consistantly..ive seen this done before...

Thats more like 2$...

Thanks Daniel

I reckon 170rwkw-ish is all you need to crack 12.9 on road tyres as 2rismo has already mentioned. Drag radials lower again.

Of course if you have lots more power it makes it easier but, I reckon it's not that hard. Practice isn't a difficult thing to do, thats what some of it comes down to as others have mentioned. This kind of drag racing requires very little actual driver skill at all.

11's 317 ET no problems.....

10's especially mid tens...Drag race...reaction times and all....370+kws...

10's ...low type ET....400kws....and you better hold on tight... :blush:

12.98 was with street tyres with the normal bolt on stuff with a SAFC.

12.18 as per signature with semi road slicks.

Takes plenty of practise, as i said its all in the launch, from there on, its just slam those gears home.

Last night finally got my 12's

On street rubber@25psi (toyo t1r's 225/50/r16)

R33 Gts25t with power approx 220rwkw

60ft: 2.062

ET: 12.964

MPH: 111.86

Highest MPH i saw was a 112mph

Well done Ray, I told you it was in there, you just had to dig it out.

:P cheers :P

Hahhhaha i know ey! THanks Gary :P

I'm actually really happy with the turbo and tune the power delivery so nice and smooth although its laggy my fault(my choice), even with 220rwkw and 225 street rubber i have NO traction issues its a good feeling.

Going to get myself on a set of drag radials now hehe 2rismo where are you?

First run, no burn out SOSK found 0.3 sec using the MT ET's.

:P cheers :P

I know this is a little off topic but are there any thoughts on what sort of rpm to shift at with an RB25 on the drag strip? Is it necessary to wring it's neck to 7200 rpm? or shift a little earlier - say 6500 to 6800?

I could only manage 13.9 @ 100mph (on a 2.1sec 60ft) shifting gears at 7000 rpm in my R34 GTT (with 185rwkw and street tyres).

Depends on alot of factors like your power/torque curve peak power point, post up your dyno graph so we can analyse it.

i was shifting at 7100-7200 but i've got a rebuild engine and my power curve just keeps climbing with the boost holding up top, its different for each car.

Should be up changing much earlier than 7200rpm, try 6500-6800rpm.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
