Hi Guys, after alot of searching i can't seem to find much info on drag times for the auto guys.

Can we have a post from those who have ran there cars ..... i've done abit of work on my car now and its certainly slower than the manual boys.... so i need some auto guys to compare with , as i just feel somethings not right.

Heres my cars specs

S1 R33 sedan Auto

Std turbo

LINK plug in (i tuned it on DYNOLOG so power reads lower dont forget)

145 rwkws (stock auto gets about 110 on these.)

boost 11.5 psi, turning it down to 9 psi to keep wastegate open (more just rolls power off earlier ...... ahh the joys of free dyno sessions)

No AFM

pod (no CAI) factory airbox and modified GTR snorkel coming

MV auto shift kit

Iridiums .8mm gap (borrowed 32 GTR coils as mine died) Splitfires on there way

New rear 255 tyres , gripping well

R34 GTT cooler

3" dump , 4" magic cat, Tanabe jasma catback

Now best i ran last week was a 14.53 @ 95.3

Last night i ran a 14.32 @ 98.6 (iridums, shiftkit, gtr coils)

I think time was more so from me manually shifting .......auto shifts at 6100 every time, but this makes revs drop to 4200 and it bogs a tad.. so reving higher while falling off the power a little makes shifts higher and not bog.

So, im perplexed, what do you guys get

Also in my readings last night i saw one guy post that the fast software shows 4 different part numbers for the auto turbo ?.... maybe i have a small one !( turbo haha)

Cmon someone must have some drag results and what they have done...

SydneyKid, have you any input on the FAST software mentioning 4 different part nums for the auto 33's ? I guess if so its possible there isnt just S1 & S2 33 turbos .....

I've got a few other pecularities i've noticed i'll share if someone posts up.

there are a couple of R33 autos up here that i know have got 13.5-14.0s... with the usual stage1 mods..

You'd probably want around 12psi on R33 turbo to get the power up, and your times down as well. Above that you probably won't see much power difference, but 9psi I would say is probably a little low for R33 to be optimal.

What is your 60' time?

Yeah but as i mentioned power didnt drop off as much when i rolled the boost back... i tried alot of things but there just wasnt any more in it...

60' 's best was 2.4

One thing i really notice is that you floor it, boost builds to 11 psi buy mid 2000's but there is nothing until just on 3000 , then whoosh , its off....

I tried moving the cam on point in the link, to above and below 3000, below does nothing, at 4000 it give a kick at 3000, and then another at 4000..... but still the initial delay..... anyone else notice that...

and yes i've checked timing in that area, even adding alot of timing while its 2500-3000 and the boost is up does stuff all.....

4door sleeper,    but what have you done to your though ??

Normal mods - 3 inch exhaust (turbo back), intercooler, pod filter in a custom cold air box, GCG hi-flow turbo, power FC, fuel pump and the MV Automatics shift kit.

Ah, ok the GCG highflow would help.

I've got a Vg30 turbo on the way , and i already have a t04 vtrim and mazda comp housing to suit from the rx-7's previous incarnation highflow.

So hopefully with that together i might be able to scrape 12's .

What 60's were you getting ? Mine were 2.4

Gary

My 60's were 2.08 or something like that with stock turbo but 2.2 with highflow.  Went from 13.8 to 13.5.  This is an auto R34.

Thanks Abo Bob,

Thats a bloddy good 60'. Were you stalling off the line or just stabbing it . ? whats a 34 stall to factory, and is yours factory ?

Are you saying you only went from 13.8 to 13.5 with the adition of the highflow ? wouldn't you be expecting more .... obviously you lost .2 off the line.... still.

How did the mph difer ?

Trying to stall mine us was the worst launch of all..... was best to just stab it full, ease off (turbo seems to spool quicker when throttle 1/4 open or there abouts), then full again.

  • 3 months later...

Just an update to what turned out to be a problem.

The drama of the car hitting boost but not going hard until 3000 rpm was actually a fault.

The fuel pump switching was causing it, fuel pressure barely stayed at 40 psi when boost got to 10 psi... then at 3000 rpm, it jumped up to 50 odd and away you went.

So for now i wired it on permanent, until i get around to installing a new pump.

Responce is ALOT better off the line now. I'll head out to the drags soon for an update, hopefully into the 13's.

Gary.

got a 14.7 cou[le of weeks ago

only got minor mods

3" x force exhaust high flow cat

safc2

split pulse dump pipe

standard intercooler

10.5psi on stock turbo

215rwhp

tryied to do tune up but not producing anymore power, think the standard intercooler has caused a restriction. will replace soon

4door how much effort was required to get the PowerFC tuned for auto?

I had no problems, just put it in and tuned it (same as a manual) Others have said they have had problems, but I didnt. Its definatly worth trying, especially if you can return the PFC afterwards (if it gives you trouble)

i don't have a r33 have got a r32 but i am just wondering how do you stall the auto's up i never seem to be able to get mine to do it. Best i couild manage was 2000 and that was after very very slowly stalling it up 500rpm at a time. Which would kind leave me sitting on the line at the drag. Also would a shift kit help make stalling it up a bit easier.

probably more important than power and turbo's etc is how does it launch. how are you taking off, does it bog down, does it wheelspin, does it feel sluggish at the launch stage? no point adding more boost and a big turbo if the launch is average as.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
