[tezflow]

hi guys and girls,

Its time for my r33 gtst to get a new turbo....im wanting my car to run a low 12second 1/4 mile so wat will be the best turbo to do this with as i also dont want it very laggy?

Thanks phil.

highflow but it wont leave much room for improvement, although around 250rwkw and a good car set up + traction should net a 12

Holset HX35 or HX40 (or hybrid of the two).

2530/35 should get you there.

Robbo, or robbos??? got high 12's with aHKS2530 and mids with 2535 (12.4or5), check his threads

But these turbos are getting tired, so go for the others already suggested

(Although, i still wuv my widdle HKS2535)

Robbo's was 12.18 with the 2535.

So thats pretty much all you need ......and a 1.9 60ft or better.

There is an article in the latest HPI magazine about getting 11s in your skyline...it is claimed there that around 220rwkw or slightly more is all you need for a 11 sec pass...don't quote me on that though...but whats said in that article carries alot of truth...the rest of the car's setup is just as important...so aim for about that much power or slightly more and concentrate on other areas...and don't forget driver skill too...

Yeh the latest HPi has mainly how to get your skylines doing 11's! pretty good read. I was reading it all night. Geting slicks for your ride would be good to!!

As stated in HPI No90 10 ways to an 11 second 1/4 time R33 GTST.

Stock coil overs, stock turbo, stock injectors, rising rate fuel pressure reg, a well tuned aftermarket EMS, fmic, 3-4" free flowing exhaust split dump, 1 bar boost, 15" Drag radial tyres inflated to 20 psi, strong single plate clutch, 1/4 tank of fuel.

Also remove any excess weight from your car like spare tyre, passenger seats, etc.

Sounds like a good recipe for 220 rwkw.

To get into the 11 second mark with these mods would also need some drag racing experience i would think. As also stated in the mag.

Slicks..why bother, why would you go to a drag stip, run a 12, bolt your street rims back and only have a 13 second car all of the time. Although ' street ' rubber is a harder way of getting the times, atleast you can drive away from the drag strip after you've done a 12 second pass in a 12 second car. Don't always believe what you read in HPI too
