300hpatw In A Auto R32 Or Not

[AntonRx7]

I have a 1993 R32 GTS-t with the rb20det and has the following mods. Full 3inch exhaust, pod, FMIC, 040 fuel pump, R33 GCG stage 2 hiflow turbo (rate at 450hp) apparntly people have run them on 20psi so thats the plan with it. I am about to get some r33 gtr injector, resistor, z32 AFM and then i am going to get the standard computer tuned at a Hyperdrive (place in perth that do a lot of standard ecu tuning).

My question is am i about to waste around 2k getting the injector AFM and tune, as my car will still be very slow? i am planning for 13's and 300hp at the wheels at least. I just don't want to spend all this money and get disapointed.

cheers for any input and help

[inissane]

dont know about very slow, but u have standard ecu now?

[The Dan]

The GCG turbos rated at 450hp are machined paper thin and will not last

You should get better than a 13 with traction.

[AntonRx7]

yeah i gona get the standard ecu romed. apprently very good way to get a good tune if you have an auto and can't get aftermarket.

Traction of the line won't be a problem. Maybe when it comes on boost, supose illhave to get thicker tyres for that

[WazR32GTSt]

you should get some nice traction with the auto gearbox..

have you got a trannie cooler installed?

or a shift kit?

cheers,

13's should be easy with all that hardware. however leave the auto as it is and it wont last long at all. If you plan to keep it auto then minimum a tranny cooler should be installed. Dont have to go aftermarket, a external r33 tranny cooler should do the trick.

let me know how you go, i too have a auto r32 and hoping i can get high 13's with just a warlbro 255 fuel pump, R34 factory side mount interooler, 3 inch dump and front pipe, 3 inch cat, boost up to 0.9 bar on stock turbo and tuning with a safc2. i already have the cat back exhaust and cat and air pod.

[WazR32GTSt]

i bought an auto trans cooler for $80 from supercheap at one of their 20% off sales and mounted it on the drivers side in the frunt bar (opposite side to where the stock intercooler it but same position)

its great peace of mind..

[AntonRx7]

ok cool may give that a go then new supercheap store has just opened near me so ill see what they have. I was also thinking a shift kit like one of the MV or whatever it is called. But would this cause a problem with traction on gear changes. Apparntly shift kits are good for the box as they allow better oil flow

[AntonRx7]

just wondering with the oil cooler with i just bypass the oil cooler that goes into the radiator (haven't looked just gguessing that is where it goes) and then just use trans cooler hose (rubber) to the new cooler.

Also lastly what sort of size would be best? i have a gtr front bar with a front mount so ill have to put it in the side vents of it

[AntonRx7]

i have brought all the parts i need now, injectors, AFM, resitor i am just wondering am i gona have traction problems at hi revs and still the crap take of speed.

Off the line my car is a slug from standing start, its gona kill my quarter mile times, i thought of getting shift kit but i figure its not gona make a difference for take off and traction may be bad enough at gearchanges anyway.

ANyone else have a fairly quick auto and can give me some advice? i dont want ot waste 1k on tune and still have a slow car

PM Abo Bob, he has an Auto R34 GTT which is regularly raced at the track and drag racing meets, and has made the suitable upgraded to his Automatic gearbox to perfect quite well at both

[AntonRx7]

thanks just did. Hopefully get some advice cause if i going to go ahead with it i gota book the tune soon.

[nedb]

My auto R32 ran flat 14 with 2.4 60".

Mods: FMIC, pod, full 3" exhaust, stock R33 turbo on 14 psi and stage 2 shift kit.

It makes just under 170 rwkw.

No ECU mods as yet.

[AntonRx7]

thats not too bad i supose. Wat the shift kit like is it a bit harsh changing gears fast on the street?

guy has offered to maybe swap for a 95 manaul r33 so tempted

i just like the look of r32 better though

[Jolinator]

R32 IS THE BETTER !!!!!!!!!!

[Cubes]

Wait and see how it is with the bigish turbo. If need be maybe consider a mild stally. Definitely will get it off the line quicker.

[AntonRx7]

yeah stall will be exspensive thought.

This is the detail for the r33 going to have a look today1995, done 138K but engine was rebuilt at 100k to fit the arias

pistons,RB25DET (unsure of mods previous owner insisted the pistons are Arias forged)

Radiator just serviced and channell cleaned

HKS Heavy duty 3 puk clutch

Exterior:

I don't like the front bar but supose i can sort that out. Overall i prefere the look of my car but yeah the fact its is manual and a 2.5litre may just make it better. Unless i go see it and the interior and outside is poor conidtion ill just keep mine and go head with tune

[Cubes]

Sounds good.

Those 400R bars have never been my thing.. They look a little out there for my liking.

I personally think there's nothing better to look at than a non-kitted R33 slightly lowered sitting on a set of deep dish rims.

They look fat..

Start throwing on the body kits I think it tends to ruin them..

[AntonRx7]

yeah i don't like it at all but i could change that easy enough problay sell it and get standard or gtr bar but i don't like chances of gettting a gtr bar for it.

Does sound ok though but could be a dodge rebuild and yeah gona have to get another turbo again and injector and all that will see. Cheers for the resistor cubes, i sent a pm but i don't think it worked came up with error. where would you recomend to fit it? its bigger and more shiny than expected.

[Cubes]

Depends how much wire you have available.

I think the best position is where it fits up on the R30's.

Behind the left strut tower right next to the loom.

You could find somewhere else but its best to keep it away from water.
