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


Recommended Posts

Im using the standard ECU and the Air/Fuel ratio's are all over the place at the end because the ECU is going into rich and retard mode. We tried dropping the boost down to 10psi and this was still happening

:P

Got my car on the dyno the other day and it was making 173kw on 12psi and 181kw on 13psi. I thought this kind of power was ok for the mods i have. So rev210, u got any ideas as to why my terminal speed is slow?

My boost was actually bleeding from 12psi down to 9psi?

Could this have been the reason?

I recently got a new boost controller from simark87, and it seems to be holding better.

Sorry bout the stupid questions, its just that im going down to the drag strip in the next couple of weeks and dont wanna be stuck in the 14's again.

P.S: Check my post further up for mods and time etc.

Thanks for ur help

Mike

:P

Hi Mike,

I think basically you are not making the 181rwkw at the strip for some reason. I suggest the 'hot' air your pod is drinking in when you run. Did you dyno with the bonnet down? Get a cold air partition made and it should be fine mate.

hi mate interesting post ,

i couldnt open up the link to your time sheet what mile per hour and 60 foot did you run ?

also you say the timing was altered , was that the camshaft timing , ignition timing or ignition map?

good read, very fast for minimal mods.

I always keep an eye on times and other things and one thing i noticed in particular was the difference in times lots put up. More so when the 60fts and mods are the same. Example below

HKS-R33,

My old R33 gtst had an exhaust and pineapples only (everything else stock) and ran 13.8's pretty easy on 205's. Get a heat sheild and see how you go.

My mates R33 GTST with full zorst, cooler, 14-15psi, splitfires and a 2.060ft ran in a 13.75@104mph. Yet yours got 13.8 with zorst only (not boost controller etc?) what 60ft was your run. Surely it will not be much greater then 2.0 so i wonder where the time is being made by you, or perhaps lost by my mate? What was your MPH on these 13.8 runs?

well i haven't got a skyline, but in my chaser i ran a 14.06 @103mph with a 2.38 60ft time running standard SMIC and running 8.5psi (9.5 on the spike). I just couldn't get off the line even with the auto as i had bald tyre :(

I'm having a guess with a 1.8-1.9 60Ft mark with the same mph i would be in the mid 13's

Once again, I've sat and watched an auto chaser with a cooler and cat back zorst (i think, could have been turbo back), auto as well pull consistent low 15s/high14s at around 97-98mph.

So i wonder yours got to 103mph so stocko.

Either way. My R34 GTT (at the same track as all the above times ive mentioned) scrapped in a 14.0 @98mph. This was with a 2.0 60ft. So its about as good as its going to get. boost increase and cat back exhaust. Thats running 19s up front and an unsheilded pod.

I just cant work out the difference between times. Ie chaser pulling so much MPH where every other one i have seen its dead on my MPH (about what to expect with similar torque and power figures)

hmmmmm....

the 13.8 was at 101mph, 2.1 60ft.

98mph = lower power than my old R33 gtst at 101mph terminal.

gear selection and shift point can kill off some time if you get it right.

im running stock turbo with safc2 exh,pod,fmic,any idea's on the tune settings example neo setting dec air blahblah blah,i ran 14.2 a couple of weeks ago massive wheel spin with .55 sec reaction ,2.16 60ft and 98.94mph seemed to run out of legs early.anyone help, not happy

The SAFC should be tuned with a wideband and or dyno. can't just copy someone elses settings.

the Dec air isn't needed unless you run an atmo BOV.

2.1 60ft is ok. The Pod is unshielded? if so that doesn't help.

yeah unshielded with intake pipe just need to find somewere good to take it was runnin 235/45/18 old things .thanx man

hey there rev just another kiwi here i got a r33 s1 1993 auto and also trying to get max outa standard ecu and standard exhaust yet to take her in for second dyno . She got 150 kw at wheels with 6.7 psi blocked radiator and a smallish pod filter and no cat then got new water pump racing cam belt and that replaced and took her to the quarter. She got 14.9 @ 166 since then ive taken all the turbo restricktors of such as boost restricker 2 stage standard controller unplugged restricker pipe of back of turbo removed and replaced with free flow front of intake rubber pipe replaced with alloy pipe 10 inche greedy pod filter and r32 wastegate actuator hope to take it to dyno in next few days then to the quarter again and hopefully i beat u and btw i cant seem to find ur time slip :) and yea standard tyres are 205's!!! i use 225's on the back and 205's on the front and my free flowing standard exhaust lol be good to see what she gets =P

There is a huge difference between 14.9 and 13.4 man! In NZ I have not heard of anyone getting anywhere near the results they get in Oz for whatever reason, so don't hold your breath. Managing a 13.xx is a worthy result on street tyres here.

With an auto you may be struggling that bit more, too...

Im going to keep running on street tyres untill its ultimately clear that i cant get anything more out of it.

Did a few 13.7's @ 99-100mph in my R33, but since then i have replaced the stock dump pipe with a custom :as big as will fit" jobbie, and had a road tune VIA SAFC2.

Still running stock airbox with APEXi Panel filter. Seems to work just fine for me too.

Is shielding the POD really necessary? I was told by a 'knowledgeable mech' that you just starve the intake by doing so; what you may gain by having slightly colder air you lose with another restriction.

Shielding the pod is a great idea - the majority of air will be coming from the front of the car, the ambient heat from behind the filter basically acts as a contaminant to your nice cool air. The front of your car has a huge high pressure zone when you are moving, so long as you allow a path from there to the filter your car should not be starved in the slightest.

I made up a perspex airbox back when I had stock turbo, S-AFC etc and checked the AFM signal on a few runs before and after to see if it dropped or rose and I'd say if anything the airflow meter felt that there was more air flowing through. Possibly denser air, or that the margain of error was greater than the difference in flow :D

Mr Rice - I had the stock intercooler when I did it, it was a prick but still possible

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
