Hey all,

Posting on behalf of a mate.

He has a 33 GTST and has the following mods (track only car)

1000cc injectors

Power Fc

Profec 2 boost controller

Walbro E85 pump

Cam gears and cams

z32

Stripped the car completly.

Runs slicks on the rear

Looking at what turbo and what top mount manifold to use?

Plus what forward facing to use?

Will a bigger throttle body be needed?

What he is setting it up for is 1/8th mile dragging.

Hes after a turbo for excellent response and mid range power.

The engine will be rebuilt if / when it goes bang.

Not chasing any specific power goal, just decent times over the 1/8th mile

What options are there?

Only needs to pull hard from a standing start to the end of an 8th mile!

Any other mods needed to?

most cars on the strip are built for bigger power and even plenty of these street cars are the same and have much bigger setups. In yous instance you are talking 1/8th so the question has to be asked is why?

whats the point of the 1/8th? where you heading with the build?

whats quick on 1/8th is going to be usless (or just about) on 1/4

to be honest because the only venue i have to drive my car is an 1/8 mile track.

plus the car will be used for the occasional hill climb and the sorts.

So its more about response and excellent mid range, without running out of puff

Its just hard reading and getting ideas as there is nothing on here for what im looking for.

Its a strickly track only car also, so dont car about a rough idle for cams or a pig to drive etc as its out on the track a handful times a year etc etc

Gtx3071 on e85. Plazmaman plenum with his 72mm throttle body. Should be good for 350rwkw with killer response. Nitrous is awesome set up correctly. Unsure why people dislike the idea of using it. What's a nitrous kit worth now days?

I don't personally have that setup but micko on here did and from all reports pulled like a freight train all the way through. Maybe someone that actually know micko and went in it can explain more? Um I think he made 335rwkw on e85 internal gate version .82! Also on the stock mani aswell.

Lol @ top end, its an 1/8 mile you wont get half way though third gear,

just get a hiflow..stock plenum and everything...it will be just as quick for what you need...

the money you save put towards your suspension setup, tyres and practice runs because that's what will make you fast...

Anyway I know nobody will take any notice of this post so potato...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
