13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).


Recommended Posts

Good work !!

Now you should really get the rest of your exhaust done. a Nice 3" Frontpipe + 3" Cat will give much better midrange power (around 10rwkw across the board).

I noticed the improvement immediately when I had mine fitted and im sure it would dramatically improve your 1/4 times.

i ran a 13.872 @99.56 11.1psi and its fairly stock, jsut electronic boost controler, cat back, stock airbox, stock turbo, street tyres 255s :D, stock engine, minex vx rom ecu, stock clutch.

jsut a matter of interest, i drop my car at 2500rpm then give it 70-80% throttle. then full throttle after that. i find that makes me run 13's. if i give it all hell i rin 14.5s. my 60footers are 2.189

Nice :D

What rpm are you changing up at approx for each gear?

Also do you know what RPM your power is peaking at?

Question for all [that includes you rev210 ;-)]: Are you guys having to change into 4th just before the line or do you make it through at the end of 3rd gear?

I am hoping to pass the line in 3rd but I doubt it will happen. Factory ECU, ie no speed or rev cuts on mine. 3rd seems to go to around 150 odd km/h which I am sure isnt enough as most near-stock 33's that pull around 14 seconds cross the line at approx 100mph which of course is 161 km/h... have to wait and see... a group of us are going to heathcote on 1/6/03 ~ next sunday!

Cant Wait :D

paul,

I reckon you would have reached the flow limits of the stock turbo, it'll just act as an airflow restrictor. Also the cam gear timing is affected by the base timing map. Sine your wolf has had the timing completely regraphed (I assume) you would need to re-adjust a little for the cam shaft timing adjustment. I think the later as the source of power droppage.

Opening/shutting the exhaust valves a little later shouldn't hurt the power at all if you adjust the timing to suit. Don't do the timing and I'm sure the power will drop.

somethings up with that then.

The cam gear is a very basic principle to allow a later exhaust opening, should work on any standard cam profile. Maybe you have already got some aftermarket cams?

Did the timing get re-jigged when the cam timing was changed? If not that is why things are going all negative on you. You can't change the one without the other.

you don't just 'check the timing' you 'change it'.

when I put mine on I thought " damn I have wasted my money!" but, then I played with the base timing and got everything back and more.

I found 4 degrees is best for top end and I settled on 3 deg as a compromise. The timing adjustment was as much as 10deg or so to make it work.

BTW does anyone know what 130kmh is rev wise in 4th?

Approx. 5000rpm. Though I cant remember if I was doing 130k or 140k at the time but somewhere in that rev range. I would say maybe 4500/4750 if I was in fact doing 140 @ 5000.

Why were you asking?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
