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 ? :(

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
