Hey all,

Posting on behalf of a mate.

He has a 33 GTST and has the following mods (track only car)

1000cc injectors

Power Fc

Profec 2 boost controller

Walbro E85 pump

Cam gears and cams

z32

Stripped the car completly.

Runs slicks on the rear

Looking at what turbo and what top mount manifold to use?

Plus what forward facing to use?

Will a bigger throttle body be needed?

What he is setting it up for is 1/8th mile dragging.

Hes after a turbo for excellent response and mid range power.

The engine will be rebuilt if / when it goes bang.

Not chasing any specific power goal, just decent times over the 1/8th mile

What options are there?

Only needs to pull hard from a standing start to the end of an 8th mile!

Any other mods needed to?

most cars on the strip are built for bigger power and even plenty of these street cars are the same and have much bigger setups. In yous instance you are talking 1/8th so the question has to be asked is why?

whats the point of the 1/8th? where you heading with the build?

whats quick on 1/8th is going to be usless (or just about) on 1/4

to be honest because the only venue i have to drive my car is an 1/8 mile track.

plus the car will be used for the occasional hill climb and the sorts.

So its more about response and excellent mid range, without running out of puff

Its just hard reading and getting ideas as there is nothing on here for what im looking for.

Its a strickly track only car also, so dont car about a rough idle for cams or a pig to drive etc as its out on the track a handful times a year etc etc

Gtx3071 on e85. Plazmaman plenum with his 72mm throttle body. Should be good for 350rwkw with killer response. Nitrous is awesome set up correctly. Unsure why people dislike the idea of using it. What's a nitrous kit worth now days?

I don't personally have that setup but micko on here did and from all reports pulled like a freight train all the way through. Maybe someone that actually know micko and went in it can explain more? Um I think he made 335rwkw on e85 internal gate version .82! Also on the stock mani aswell.

Lol @ top end, its an 1/8 mile you wont get half way though third gear,

just get a hiflow..stock plenum and everything...it will be just as quick for what you need...

the money you save put towards your suspension setup, tyres and practice runs because that's what will make you fast...

Anyway I know nobody will take any notice of this post so potato...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
