I am aiming to make my car capable of running flat 14's but have had some conflicting advice on how to do so.

Was wondering if any ppl on here had similar powered cars and if so exactly wat mods u've done to achieve this.

So far I've heard u need:

1:

Full exhast with 2 chambers dump pipe

FMIC

POD

Boost to 9PSI

2: All of above plus Z32 aiflow meter

3:All of above + PowerFC or GREDDY equivalent

Plz keep in mind i dont wanna F$%K my stock turbo so i wanna run 14flat safely without doing any damage

Can ne1 help?

Full turbo-back exhaust (3inch) - $1000

Replace standard panel filter with a K&N Filter - $100

Bleed valve (10-12psi)- $100

FMIC - $1000

Adjustable exhaust cam gear - $180

= $2,380 + fitting

This should give you up around 180rwkw with a healthy engine. Using decent quality roadworthy standard size tyres (225/50/16) you should be able to do consistent 13.5-14.0 sec with a 1.9-2.0sec 60ft at around 100-103mph, the rest just comes down to driver ability and how long your clutch will last.

Edit: You won't need an Apexi PowerFC, but it certainly would help and you certainly won't need a Z32 AFM (until you change turbo's atleast but by then you will also need a new fuel pump and injectors).

If you run it at 12psi all day every day you may experience problems but for 14sec a few times every now and then you wont have any problems.

Your clutch will be fine.

Do a search for the Exhaust cam gear, plenty of info available including a thread I created with before and after results.

I did a 13.2 running my car the way how it is:

hardwalled circuit semis. Rock hard coilovers. lowered quite a bit, so too much negative camber affecting traction (-2.5d).

12psi. full exhaust. stainless steel magic cat. No aftermarket ecu.

twin plate clutch with lightened flywheel.

I must admit though, I am really crap at drag racing. If it wasn't for the twin plate, I woulda probably killed the stock clutch in one outing.

PS: I run 12-13 psi all day everyday, and I don't drive it easily. It is still strong after 2 years, and god knows how long or what boost the jap owner ran it on.

I don't see any problem in blowing the stock turbo. They're cheap as chips (around the 3-400 mark for an r33 turbo). I'm happy to blow it and change it myself.

Yea but u could blow ur engine in the proccess of blowing turbo, i'd be carefull

Mate as you can see in my sig, i have done a 14.04. the car is virtually stock, the mods i have are dump pipe off turbo, 3inch exhaust. thats it really. I run stock turbo, stock FMIC, stock ecu and standard boost. Ohh and that run was on shitty falkens 326's, worst tyre ever!!! well maybe not worst but damn close.

2rismo, I understand that you have extensive experience, and i've been following your progress.

Every car is different. I understand that some cars like benm's was only getting 14s with around 200rwkw. There are others like that.

I can only offer the experience I have from my car. Refer to above. With a catback, pod filter. stock boost. hardwalled circuit semis, I did a 14.01. I have a timeslip at wsid to prove it.

Then with the mods I mentioned above, I did a 13.2. My car is totally not setup at all for drag with the rock hard suspensions, lowered, way too much neg camber. But that's just what my car did. Maybe it's a freak?

I can tell it's definitely the stock turbo, because when I changed the dump, I verified that.

Hey mate.

I ran a 13.9 with cat back exhaust, pod filter and bleed valve set to 12 pound

with addition of front/dump pipe and decent tyres ran consistent 13's and nailed a 13.6 :wave:

if you can drive it youll get into 13's with 500-700 bucks easily :D

I call that driver ability, i'm now only doing 12.3sec with a 310+ kw gtr when I should be doing mid 11's.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
