Just wondering...

We ***** an apparently "STOCK" R33 on saturday night. It looked pretty stock but who knows.

Our car has:

3" turbo back haust

Boost Controller (11psi high boost)

Blitz BOV and Standard (is this our problem??)

K&N Filter (were running a HKS one but it was too loud (and the foam was crumbling))

If the other was stock and we have this done to our car.. how could it be faster??

I had two in my car (including me) and he had 3...

I'm just shocked...

:eek:

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Best place to see what you can to is Willowbank on tune and race nights. Next being Wed 19th. Cost $27 for you, car and one other(pit crew). It's pretty casual and you get as many runs as you can fit in depends on how many cars are there. See you there???

Could be a number of things.

Weight (you had more people in it, my car is even slow with 3)

Clutch (yours may be slipping a bit )

Tyres (his may have been great off the line)

ecu (he may have had an aftermarket ecu which you can't see)

I wouldn't be to concerned abotu loosing, I used to get ticked off when I got beaten by gemini's and swifts but then I realised that so long as my car is running well then the fact is that the other person simply has a faster car.....bit like what people think when I beat them I guess, some spend more on mods than others ??

I'm not really *worried* or *stressing* about it its just that its a bit of a piss off really!!

I've gotta find myself a job before too long so we can keep the thing on the rod.

And Boostmeister... I had 2 people. He had three so weight wasn't really an issue.

The payments for the car actually come out of my pay in the way. The rego and insurance is coming out of my pay in the bank. The petrol goes on my credit card and then my pay pays the credit card off..

Are you trying to say that its his car I just think its mine??

my wife drive our car all the time I don't ahve a problem with it you should see thelook on her face when I winded up the boost.

now we have stock turbo she wants the power back.

so guess what hte turbo is being hiflowed

cheers

meggala

some times you just loose my car looks stock but has lots of goodies as well and no noisy bov either

Three different people told me this car was stock after all going over and looking under the bonnet. I didn't go look cause i wouldn't of had a clue what i was looking for!!

He only just got it a few days before that. So ...

What internal mods can be done that cant be seen that could make him fasT??

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
