If you mean trap speed, it is the speed that a car crosses the line at. For example you could have a honda civic going flat chat for a 15 second quarter mile at like 85mph or whatever, and a nitro funny car that cruises to half track then nails it to the line. This could also be a 15 sec 1/4, but the mph could be at like 130mph.

For street cars that are all going flat out all the way to the line, it gives a pretty good indication of horsepower for a given car's weight, since it's detached from the quarter mile measurement, and not affected anywhere near as much by launch ability of the driver or traction the car has as the ET is.

Thanks for the info. I will look into those.

It seems most of the cars that managed to run good times had stupidly large turbochargers on. From the turbo to engine size ratio on those things appeared to be very laggy. That's probably when launch control comes handy. Turbo building option for fast on quarters and feel good on road can be very different.

Be interested to see result from the laggier 431rwkws G4 profile as well as the new Sl20.5 and Sl25.5. With proper tyres and gear shifter.

Which good times are you talking about?

It tends to be easier to run a good time with a quicker spooling turbo for the power level - at least in my experience, torque wins races and all that stuff. Sometimes you have to be a bit more careful to feather the throttle etc with a more accessible powerband, it seems lots of people get overexcited and give their cars too many RPM off the line when launching.

Obviously when you put stickier tyres on and get better shifts you will go much quicker, but at the moment the ETs you have done are in the realms of much less powerful cars on street tyres (ie, I did similar with 100+kw less and shit tyres - just a lower trap speed due to way less power).

125mph in a 1400ish KG car should be able to net a 10, should it not?

If you had a 1.5 or so 60' maybe, would be very hard to get that into the 10's on a H pattern manual unless you are top shit behind the wheel.

Good 60ft, but no 1.5 by any stretch and as you can hear the shifts aren't lightning quick - stock H-pattern, full interior, pump gas with stock bottom end with a 35R... 10.6 @ 128mph makes at least nearly hitting 10s seem realistic with 125mph:

Dyno that the power claim is from was quite a high reading hub dyno, but it had a lot of clout for a stock motor

Yep if manual you need a two step or anti lag to get a big turbo up

Also the bigger the turbo with a manual, the harder it is to use drag radials over slicks as they don't absorb as much shock

and the big stuff has a narrower powerband and needs a big clutch dump usually

Auto not so bad, just good torque converter and gas it if you can't get it up

And IRS as well ..its very hard to get a IRS manual car into the 10's with 125mph...128 is more typical

that r33 must have still 60ft in the low 1.6's?

The 3540 in 1.06 turbine is a huge turbo for a Rb25det, and he's only 3m/h faster, I think I can get that mileage on 23psi with G3 on MT tyres.

And yes I'm making an 11 blade wheel profile for the SL2 at moment. Aiming at T67's power with 20G's response.

Oh hey guys, I found this cool video online. Apparently its an SR20 with an SS1PU.

Enjoy.

That is very responsive for a SR20det. Not your car?

Also latest video from SSRicho. 1.31 lap time run at winton raceway.

R33 skyline. running our 21U high flow on 263rwkws.

Hi guys just thought i would post a couple of videos with the little mods i have done

Only mod i had done before these was when i boosted the stock turbo to around 11 psi

This is when i took off the old exhaust and before i installed the 3" exhaust

This is when i installed a 3" turbo back exhaust

My cousin had a VL High flow turbo that i decided to put in, with a few mods we made it fit.

i had to get a new oil line ($120) made, because my dump pipe from the turbo to the cat was 1 piece i had it get that modified to suit the VL dump pipe ($250 exhaust mod), had to find the a VL dump pipe and saw a few days earlier that one sold on ebay for $80 but after 1 day of searching on a friday and having to have the car running over the weekend i ended up buying the only i could find for $300 and all the extra piping for the intake and in-between the compressor housing and intercooler which worked out to be around another $50.

Total spent $520 plus what ever my cousin wants for the turbo which he said he paid around $500 which apparently was run for a round 5000km's and rated to 25 psi.

A lot more turbo lag in 1st and 2nd it wont start boosting until 3000 rpm but 3rd gear and over it boosts well. Only running it at just under 8 psi it is significantly faster then before. the night i left i raced another r34 and he told me he had a 3" exhaust and he had boosted it to 10 psi, he had me on take off but as soon i started boosting there was clear winner :) …… it wasn't a proper race it was like a slow rolling start but you could clearly see the improvement.

This was just me taking of from a friends house

Now i really want a FMIC and probably need a fuel reg can anyone recommend brands?

my cousin also said he has a O2 censor that goes to lcd screen so we can work out how much more we can boost it safely……………….does anyone know a safe limit to boost it too once i get an intercooler assuming i have enough fuel being available?

    • 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.
