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.

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?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
