hey all... i was curious as to who would know about the race that i am currently dreading. i have an R33 in a compliance workshop and should be able to drive it in about 3-4 weeks. it has zorst, pod filter, hks suspension. My mate has an Audi A3 turbo that he is in the process of getting it "APR Enhanced" which is basically the new age chip.

whos gonna win???? his car goes ****en well. and apparently this chip makes heaps of difference with the boost settings and torque curve ect.

im scared. :)

u mean a S3? I don't know my Audi's, but i thought that was the turbo hatch one... Doing some research on S3's a little while back and they're good for 0 - 100km in about 6.5, 6.7secs. But full boost comes on ridiculously low, like, 1500 or 2000rpm's. So with a chip, maybe low, flat 6 seconds. R33 bout the same, should be a close race!

i think they are 1.6l turbo's... not sure... 1.8 prob sounds more right.

cheers

It all depends what model your dragging. If it's the A3 1.8ltr turbo (110kw - 0-100 8.2sec) which i think your talking about I wouldn't be worried at all especially if the drag is to 100+ however if its the S3 (99 Model - 154kw 0-100 6.8sec/ 2002 Model - 165kw - 0-100 6.6sec) I would probably be quite worried especially with the APR ECU which is claimed to increase power to 195kw and torque to 362nm.

Formal specs for the APR ECU for standard A3 1.8ltr for your reference is as follows - 112kw to 146kw/154kw(VVT) and 325nm torque. so as long as your skyline pulls low 6secs or under you should be sweet

BE WARNED! if he has APR stage III or Stage III+ kit don't drag him unless you want to lose, 210hp and 310hp respectively in a car that weighs 1100kg, would be pretty potent. Anyway hope this helps.

just to clear a few things up, the apr software gives you 2 choices of program on top of the original program.

98 octane prog is 154kw and 104 octane is 169kw

you could probably beat him quite easily if you were running higher than standard boost on your 'line.

Just remember he'll be pulling about 150 kw easy with a car that weighs about 1200kg which is a pretty good power to weight ratio.

My work mate has an A3 turbo with the full oettinger works on it and pulls really well, it was doing runs at eastern creek about 2 months ago if anyone saw it.

Aint the turbos in the euro cars extremly small and designed for low rpm torque not peak?? They would be way out of their efficiency range running at 14psi. My friend has a new Golf GTI 1.8 turbo, u cant even tell that it has a turbo, its so smooth compared to a japanese turbo car. Also its preety farking slow even tho it is a light car 0-100 in 7.6 or sumthing.

From the other side (the Audi forum perspective)

Audi Forum Audi A3 1.8T vs R33 GTS-T debate

Yeah the euro turbos are small.... thats why we need to upgrade to garetts to make serious power. But the stock full torque at 2k rpm is nice.

The redline in my A4 (1.8t) Quattro. Is ~6300 indicated. But the limiter on a chipped car doesn't kick in till about 7200 i think.

That said because the turbo is so small (the kkkO3) it can not push anymore air (hold 14 psi boost) once you get past about 5500. So there is not point reving it any higher, as you get more power by changing gears.

If he had a K04 this would give him about 185 kw and the power band would be about 1krpm higher.

I'd say it'll be close, but I'm only guessing cos I dunno how much the Audi puts out and how heavy it is. Sounds like it's pretty decent though. The new GTA type Alfas look pretty nice too, got some go in that thing. Turbo european cars, guess that's the Japanese influence :(

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
