I decided to take the s14 to the track for the first time today, very disappointing times, especially considering the weight differences between the s14 and r33.

First the mods:

-r180v LSD from CA18det (possibly hurt my top end)

-3" Blitz Nur Spec cat-back exhaust

-custom straight runner intake manifold

-Isuzu NPR front mount intercooler

-2.5" aluminum intercooler piping

-Greddy Profec B Spec II

-Sheepdog Prof BOV

All day I was running between 8-11 psi boost.

My best run was as follows:

r/t= 1.697

60 ft= 2.047

330 = 6.063

1/8= 9.269 @ 77.89 MPH

1000 =12.060

1/4= 14.396 @ 92.38 MPH

as I said, very disappointing, although much better than my stock times with the KA24de motor 16.3 1/4mi.

damn thats slow.. sorry.. but my stock rb20 silvia (s13) ran quicker than that. check everything. good luck.

I thought all silvia's where 4 cylinders??? (ie SR20, not RB20???)

could someone clarify this for me 'cause i also thought the S15 was an RB20 (6 cyl) but recently found out it's an SR20... or is it???

Need clarification....

Cheers.

Silvias come stock with 4cyl mainly SR20 and CA18, in the US here we got the KA24de (non turbo).

Anyone with 6cyl did the swap.

But yes I understand this is slow, I have had some problems with the car so I know there are issues. I should be running mid 13's. I still have the stock downpipe and cat so that is an issue. Also the 4.36 gears are not good for top end, I am going to switch back to 4.08 soon. Have to go thru and check sensors, also put some better grounds in. I have only had the car running for a few weeks now and untuned, so it is to be expected that the car is not going to run perfect just yet.

dont be dishearted for a first time to the track check your timing as this could be a cause for a lack of power also you boost was probably more 8 psi than 11 also you might have reved the car way past the power band try changin a bit earlier did you change to 4th b4 you crossed the line.

still after all the talk you got the motor in and the car running which is great now come the refinement.

my first time in my r32 at the track I ran 15's. with tuning and practive I got it down to a 14.00 @ 99 mph that was an rb 20 with rb 25 turbo

the lack of mph in your time says to me timing and boost also your car could be running really rich which will affect power.

cheers

yes they do need to be finely tuned to make the power trial and error will get good results now you see why us aussie spend so much time on dyno's.

As you said... low-ish MPH. Not VERY low though.

But if you aint got a 3" dump pipe... that's the best place to start.

As boost should naturally rise to around 8-9psi anyways after that mod.

Wouldnt worry too much about your diff gears.

They play a part, yes, but not a massive amount IMO.

i have 4.11's...

And im still in 4th as i go over the line

I was in 4th when i ran the 12.9(109mph) and my 13.8(101mph)

leave the 4.36 gears unless you want a slower 1/4 mile.

The custom intake manifold and the front mount intercooler are possibly doing you no favours.The increased pipe length and total volume reduce the engine response time. As quite a few people have proven an intercooler around the same size as factory is ideal for the factory turbo.Also,the factory plenum is quite fine to over 500HP, it is moot whether the 'good' aftermarket ones are much better on mild tune engines at all.

Any overfueling between gear changes can be put down to the aftermarket BOV ( I bet the factory one works better) if you are still running the std ecu.

Basically if you had my stockish RB25det in your car you would be down the 1/4 in mid 12's easy. You have a fair bit to sort out by the looks.

The dump pipe and front pipe won't hurt either.You might like to put a de-cat pipe in as well.

Best of luck.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
