How Much Power Will I Make...have A Guess

[dangerman4]

Does any1 rekon the boost 98 from united helped me along at all...

Im quite interested in fuels and their advantages and thats the reason why I choose the boost98 as it has sumting like 5% ethanol in it...Ive read quite a few articles claiming its miracles, the ethonal that is and how it has to be tuned to it...

Before I got it tuned i used bp 98 and boost 98..untuned the bp98 felt way better, the ethonal decreased power.

I wanted to use shell v-power racing but I cant even find it in sydney yet...

Let me know your thoughts...im still wondering why the power was so high..the dyno is a pretty average reading dyno(DD) aswell.

Cheers

my car is tuned on shell v power 98

i tried a tank of ultimate recently and its knock went from its usual max of 20 up to 70

not impressed i went back to v power and the knock stopped.

havent tried boost 98 but i think its the same blend as shell with a 5% ethanol

Darren,

BOOST98 and v-power racing do have the same blend percentage of ethanol though I would think the qaulity and R&D of the shell fuels would be better, as they make a stack load of different race fuels and chemicals...toluene for eg,

I was hooked ever since i read the thread in zoom or hpi with that 32gtr gaining somewhere near 20rwkw with just the changing of fuel from normal 98 to ethanol enhanced fuel..

There are quite a few servos in Sydney with Shell V Power Racing 100 ron, they are listed on the Shell Web Site. We use the two on the Princes H'way, one at Carlton, near StGeorge Leagues Club or the one at Gymea, city side of the High School.

In a Shoot Out dyno graph, I would be concerned with the inlet air temp being 60 degrees with an ambient of 27.

I am not sure why he insisted on doing it in 3rd gear. The constant threat of kick down prevents proper tuning at those rpms. We always tune autos in 2nd gear, much less chance of kickdown. Or better still lock it in 3rd. For the Stagea we use 2nd gear and select the snow setting, that locks out 1st gear anyway.

cheers

SK,

The 3rd question is a question for the tuner, Im sure he has a good reason for using third..

I will have to look at the website...though I live out in sydneys west and all the shells do not have this fuel as far as I am aware...

[MZTRBO]

I will be taking it out to WSID to see if the power reflects the cars mph...

I am not expceting a good time, but the mph will hopefully show its future potential...

the stock auto gearbox is slowly dying..im better to take my foot of the accelerator then keep it flat between gears. Next mod will be to do something to the auto box...

Cheers

[MZTRBO]

Also,

If anyone knows of a cheap auto trans cooler for sale let me know please....

Daniel...

[MZTRBO]

Also,

The plan is to go to WSID on anzac day...GUESS what time or MPH I will run????

Im thinking 13.5@105mph with a 2.2 60ft as the car doesnt move much until 4000rpm where it wheel spins until second then just pulls and pulls...

Cheers

[GTshortie]

I'll be there at WSID on anzac day to race you white series 2 r33gts with gtr32 rims up front

with 234rwkw you should be expecting around 108-110mph at least but i dunno if the auto affects it.

hope your enjoying the new power

[MZTRBO]

Thats what I was think but the auto doesnt change gears good at all and thinking I may loose mph because of it..thus the low 1/4mile time also...

Im sure with a proper auto and good tyres with a good 60ft this power should net a 12.6-12.8 time.

[dangerman4]

i personally wouldn't flog the auto to death on anzac day.

by all means do a run or two, but by not having a shift kit and a trans cooler your asking for trouble.

each time it tries to change gears its going to shred your stock bands in the trans and cause enormous amounts of heat.

especially if your already having trouble with it shifting.

just be careful is all im saying otherwise you will be walking home...

Youre right dangerman I am a little worried, but cant fight that urge..

I was thinking of stalling it up on the stock convertor but I may not even do that...see how it goes.

For those interested,

the anzac day drags were cancelled...we will still be going in a couple of weeks.

Hi All,

For those interested just a few updates on this car;

AUTO DIED (RIP)..Not really a big surprise, but it did last a long time with a fair bit of abuse with no cooler.

Now have the following to replace;

Nismo lightened flywheel

Nismo/Exedy 4 puk brass button clutch (pads are thin, race clutch..bites hard)

1200kg pressure plate

R33 5speed

I am doing the conversion now..

Also parts upgraded

- Putting heat shields back on the turbo and manifold

- Fixing the exhaust wrap that was ripped off the bottom of the dump (too low)

-Wrapping the exhaut up a bit more past the cat.

-Cat colapsed (Catco 3inch) so deciding what to do here. Only one side colapsed by the looks of it so might just take half of it out.

- Installing electronic boost control device, HKS EVC3..Not sure what boost level yet.

-Finally going to install my GTR fuel pump. The standard fuel pump lasted 4-5months no worries there so that proves a point to some - I think.

- Wanting to change the inlet from the pod to the turbo to a solid type, ss or silicone. I think it will start closing shortly if it hasnt started to already.

- Enclose pod filter...I put the standard air box back on for a while but I noticed it lost power when getting speeds up..but it was a little more responsive. I have two cold air feeds to it as it stands.

When I do all this I will be taking it back to get retuned at hitmans....maybe guess the power for the changes made. My injectors wont like me though and the stock AFM..not wlling to change these though so power will depend on these items.

Cheers...

[MZTRBO]

Also going to open up the front bar for better cooling of the intercooler....

Hmmm I await these mods with antisapation

Yeh hurry up and get to work..aha.

This set-up will blow you away pound for pound (same boost level, 12psi).
