R33 Automatic Acceleration Lag

hello, i drive a 1993 R33 GTS automatic, and i jst wanted to find out about a small problem i have. whenever i put my foot down a bit on the pedal to accelerate it lags then speeds up after like, a second, then kicks in. on first gear it revs to about 6000 rpm then changes gears and i found that a bit much. second and third do the same and change at high revs.

i asked a mechanic what was up with that and to just check it, and he said he changed this on the front of the engine block (srry im not that great under the hood) *refer to pic* from the top line (original way) to the bottom line (what he changed it to). it seemed to do nothing, if anything make it a little worse.

after that, at times when i turn on the car it idles at aroud 1000 rpm, then after a while idling it drops a little, stays down a bit then goes up after a while back to 1000 rpm. if anyone has any ideas on whats wrong please let me know, i dont really like the lag when i speed up. my mums vr commodore speeds up way better than mine lol

thanks

....aka. crank angle sensor (CAS)

Go back to your mechanic and ask what he set the timing at...think the RB25DE should have a base timing of 15degrees.

There's your problem there >_<

The stock auto trans are slow and do take a sec to change gears. Try having the O/D button OFF...that should help reduce your 'acceleration lag', also it will rev out higher. For quicker gear changes get an upgraded valve body/ shift kit...do search in the Group Buy section if you want more details. Also ~6K+ rpm before changing gears sounds normally if you have ya foot planted; or do you mean it will only change gears when you rev to 6K rpm?

I think thats normal. My auto R33 does something similar.

Although I have never really floored it from 1st gear, what I found was that if I was driving along at 60km/h (auto is in 3rd gear) then I floor it to over take a truck, it won't accelerate hard right away, rather it will shift down a gear to 2nd, which takes a second or so then accelerate hard.

So there is that 1 sec lag or so...

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.

      It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.

      I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.

      Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power

      Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
