The Lancer has gone and i have spoken to a few kind people on this forum who have brought to my attention that there cars are for sale which is good to hear...

but before I commit I would like to hear other people opinions as to how easy is it to make a auto go fast I am looking at dump pipe 3" exhaust and I/C is this going to be enough to make this thing move it's butt as good (well nearly as good)as a manual and the car is a R33 GTS

gtst u mean :D

if its auto gts.... DONT BUY IT :(

only manual gts is bareable... (just) :)

haha, never mind, But i should think it would pull what... low 14's with that done ?

maybe ?

i know a friends (psikers) does about 15 something and it is basically stocker for memory (psiker if u read this fill her in!)

I didn't really feel like I gained any power from a front mount but I put that down to stock R34 cooler being bigger to start with.

It's not impossibly hard though. I've just fitted a upgraded valvebody to the transmission which should improve things heaps. Check the group buy on it for more info and peoples results.

Yeh the dump and cooler might go to waste on a GTS. :)

Autos are just giving away control. some ppl like it, some dont. Pisses me off that there is no connection between engine and road apart from some viscous fluid. U just dont get the same feeling. Plus i dont trust autos and their changing through corners technique.

Go the auto!

My first setup , with stock ecu / turbo ran 13.4@ 106mph.

2nd setup ran 12.6 @ 114mph & 3rd setup....well I'll tell ya after Drag Combat!

As a sidenote , one of the Forum Members just put an AUTO in his 530rwhp GTR (GTS4 4wd auto) that will be interesting tomorrow

Cheers

Generally a front mount will improve cooling of charged air so more boost can be used safely. Higher boost is where the gains are made from the lower pressure drop through fmic and cooler intake temp.

At stock boost there is not much differnce at all in rwhp.

i cant see how it would make no dif but..............

Me either - i kept getting fed bull crap i think.

I get - its not making more HP because you dont have an SAFC/fuel pump/ internal upgrade i put all of those in ....

Last year I got - its not making more HP because it doesnt have a FMIC

i put one of those in .....

Now I get - its not making more HP cos its an auto

:)

My boost controller died - its now got a bleed valve until we get it fixed. Car starts breaking down on higher boost.

Think its time to get rid of the baby hairdryer ..... thats all i can do - most of the cars internals have been upgraded to take HP. I only want 300 out of her is that so friggin hard BLEH! I was expectiong high 260 - 270 yesterday but noooo she almost got 250.

wat is that all..... so wat do u have done to it all up? ohh and an auto aint gonna restrict ure power who ever said that is Full of SH1T...... these autoboxs can take lotsa power then u just bulk them up.....

i use a blled valve and 12 psi..... wats in urz?

next 4 me is internals and turbo....

The auto's in the lines dont sap any real power at all!

They can run more consistant times due to the stall being fixed , they dont shock diffs & tailshafts when you launch unlike a manual/cluctch drop as well as having a torque multiplying effect , but best of all...you can stall em up to make BOOST on the start line! no lag ;)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
