cant figure out how to edit my post lol

r33 gtst

laggy kkr turbo

broken 3/4th syncros ( really hard 2 shift gears )

falken 225/50/16 tyres at 20psi pressure

full weight r33 with 80kg driver.

only rolled up 220kw on dyno but managed 115mph at willowbank, tuner said i really have somewhere round the 240kw mark.

this sound about right? cause some ppl with 300kw are only doin 116-117mph with good gearbox 2 shift into lol

Just to get my numbers out from the jumble of the first post.

R32 GTSt with the added weight of me (210lb), passenger (180lb), subwoofers in the trunk, and how ever much more an RB25 tranny weighs. How much do standard R32 GTSt's weigh?

11.8@124 (my slowest mph of the night) and a best mph of 127mph. No dyno though, but I've been told low to mid 500 rwhp.

Hmm, that's about what I was guessing. It's a bit off from what Guilt-Toy was getting though. How does that jive with some of the dyno's you guys have? Also, what brand are you all using? I know dynojet's read REALLY high even for "american" hp, and mustang dyno's are supposed to read low.

Also, does the scale curve as the hp gets higher? Example (just making up numbers); if 300hp = 110mph'ish, and 400hp = 120mph'ish, does the amount of hp to get to 130'ish increase a lot more? There has to be a point where you get diminishing returns I would think.

Keep posting times/mph/hp/weight guys!

i have made 402rwhp a few monts back in a 32 gtst with rb20 an went to the track the other nite an went 12.90 115 with coilovers an wheelspin but car weighs in at 3256lb with stereo spare tyre tools an 3/4 tank of fuel.Will take out all those things an put standard rear shocks in to get the power down to the ground..

Where peak power lands, how well the motor holds on to its peak power and gearing is a biggie.

For example.. An RB30DET with stock cams, stock inlet making 300rwkw+ where power noses over after 6000rpm isn't going to net a decent mph given the power its making. Along comes an RB25 with the same peak power that holds on to its power instead of nosing over - it runs a higher MPH.

Drop a set of cams in to the RB30, have it making the same peak power figure but due to the cams power holds on flat for near 1500rpm odd and up goes that MPH.

Also take into effect power curve...

Really, it's the area under the torque curve that gets you down the strip quickest... :P

500RWHP Dyno queens are CONSTANTLY shown up on the strip by 300RWHP STREET cars... Purely, as the 500RWHP car has the worlds shittest power delivery...

300rwhp cars show up my car? hmmmm.. tell me where there is a 300rwhp r33 that does 11.11sec at 128 - 131mph ? and has a power curve like this. (torque drops from over 1000nm to 800ish nm by red line by most)

people with 300hp are the ones who say stupid comments like that :D i guess he thinks a 500hp car needs a gt45 to make the power lol. A 500hp car will smash a 300hp car everyday of the week im afraid unless your doing a carpark motorkana or something.

Also Anthony i reckon you would be making more than 500hp at wheels to run 131mph, the dyno must be pretty low reading if the car is a full weight r33

Was that run done in 3rd? Just noting the speed.

Nice work on the tune though, it looks like it holds near peak power for quite some time

Yes that dyno was a Mainline dyno which is known to break alot of hearts with power read outs. Yes i know what its like to race my car around a small track, its not easy (hill climb)

All my tuning is done in 4th gear, that run was stopped at about 190 - 200km/h. I only rev the car to 7000rpm because its a 3 litre and it only has a N1 oil pump which are known to destroy themself's when you rev them too hard. and stock rb25 balancer. at the track i rev it to 7200rpm

Kinda a bad example when a 30DET with stock cams doesnt nose over @ 6000rpm :D

But if you shift appropriately, then there is no reason it should be a lot different.

mine is a full weight R33, how much power should it have to run 131mph? I know the car has lots of torque. Whats the drag calc say?

Im assuming your car weighs in around 3300lbs? my old hk ute with a 400 chev made 545rwhp an went 132mph,now looking at the speed calculator at 3300lbs an 131mph your making around 560rwhp

You need to also take into account the 60ft. Its a good indicator of wheel spin which will up the mph.

Then also Peak HP means nothing average HP is were its at.

I have run(all diff cars) :

12.1 @ 116 mph 1.8 60ft in 1180kg car 280rwhp

11.4 @ 117 mph 1.5 60ft in 1140kg car 320rwhp

11.4 @ 119 mph 1.5 60ft in >1200kg car 400rwhp

10.89 @ 127 mph 1.49 60ft 1200kg car 420rwhp

10.35 @ 128mph 1.45 60ft 1130kg car 455 rwhp

As you can see the MPH to HP translation is not that simple. Especially when you look at the two 11.4s one car with 80rwhp more.

One was a peaky sl_ut other had power everywhere. Weight also played a big part.

Guilt Toy. What exh housing are you using there?

1.06. but i do my own tuning and spent lots of time getting it right. So far all seems to be good :(

anyone got some decent drag tyres i can borrow for the weekend ? :(

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
