I think Soarer TT is a very fast car, even in auto form. A manual R33 turbo in stock form will have a hard time trying to beat this, unless you modify ur R33....

Stock factory spec, the Soarer TT will win over R33 by about 0.36 seconds over 400m (TT=14.02s vs R33=14.38s). But a manual R33 is lighter so it's easier to modify ur car to be in the mid 13s, while the heavier Soarer will need more power to match a modded GTS-t and the auto box has some limit... but HPI's Sin City Soarer project has made some respectable power there... with lots of mods too, but that's a manual version.

Even if soarers are like.... 150-200kg heavier from R33:

1. From factory, they came with +/- 20kw more power.

R33=187kw vs Soarer=206kw claimed spec

2. From factory, TT came with one extra turbo.

3. Soarer's TT (as well as Supra) are known for their excellent

twin turbo management, lots better than Liberty B4

4. Well managed TT equals more torque.... more acceleration.

These facts would make up for the added weight required for NVH reduction, plusher and more luxurious ride for Soarer's target customers....

How do you know the Soarer was even trying? Unless of course it was a friend of yours driving the Soarer, and both of you knew it was a race. In which case i withdraw my comment.

Even if the Soarer was trying to beat you in the Astra, how do you know the Soarer wasnt the 3L atmo variety?

Not meaning to have a go at you man, its just that comparisons like that dont really mean much, if anything at all.

Contrary to you comparison, the 1JZ has always been renowned for their "glorious" (quoting HPI) low-end torque, which would account for greater accelaration than your astra.

rs73, it doesn't work like that, we don't live in a perfect world many outside factors will affect the cars overall acceleration. i belive that the skyline would be faster on the take off and it would be a close finish.

(just my 2cents wit abit of phy input heheh ;))

Turbo_tits im about 80% he has going at it, as we were for along time, i think the Bov made me think it was a turbo hehe :) , might not have been thou

I would say a close call...

A GTS-T with minor mod would have around 150-160rwkw.

There's still long way to go to get at least 170-180rwkw to take advantage of GTS-t lighter chassis.

But i'm not sure, if you are keen, you can do a power to weight calculation and see how much rwkw is required for gts-t to equal that soarer's 200rwkw....

I wonder if he was one of those wannbe turbo, atmo fellas, sticking his head out the window and making "pshhh" noises ;)

Your Astra isnt the new turbo model is it?

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
