I reckon there could be still a little bit more in her. Ive got a slight flat spot between 5000 & 6000rpm and this would hurting me in every gear. Its probably something i wont be able to get out other than getting a Power FC.

Well done robo, ur car aint a 95 model is it?

[Guest Robo's]

93 model

[Guest Robo's]

Lithium,

Unlike most of the NZ R33 gtst owners it seems you are actually looking for good advice and are preppared to aim at something (aim at nothing and you hit it every time).Don't worry I'm sure the 12 second pass won't be far off for you either.

That would be cool But yeah, realistically in NZ people more often than not short change R33s - so they have hardly been bothered with... most people prefer the R32s, and see them as a better performing car - so thats where more of the knowledge lies, and there is a lot of assumption.

Obviously in Oz you guys are more keen to mod R33s and research ways of getting the better results... so its always good to look where the proven information is, rather than ask people who more often than not don't even like R33s, and in many cases havent even been in them how to mod them - so aren't exactly reliable sources

Hey robo...

An ex-LS1'er myself, i congradulate you on the time...

I know the engines in question are worlds apart in how they acheive their goal, and you have done well on your setup...

Im hoping to be there soon also with the stock turbo, although im aiming for 12 psi - just gotta get the funds to finish the project !!

Cheers,

Matt

Fourdoors up here in QLD also ran a high 12 on stock turbo and street tyres, no PFC iirc.

He was the first I heard of doing it, and in a sedan as well, but mind you the boy can drive

Congrats Robo, awesome time!

Did you leave the tyres at street inflation? Where did you get your clutch from?

Dropped them down to 20psi, dont know if that really helped or what, but done a reasonable burnout to warm them up.

I got my clutch from a guy that sells performance stuff online. Cant even remember how i found him, but send me a PM and i'll give you his number.

[Gizmo73]

Id also be intersted in the guy you got the clutch form..

PM sent...

Exelent Time my car is very similar to yours Everything the same except for FMIC and cam gears. FMIC and cam gears will be my next mod for sure.

Are you running a EBC yet? If not are you holding boost better with new FMIC?

Best without the Cam gears and FMIC was 13.32. No EBC, just a bleed valve, however i did notice slight less boost drop off with the FMIC. Must be called effeciency, it wasnt much though, maybe 1/2 psi.

that big mile an hour for stocko turbo i would imagin, my best is only 103.7 that was on a 13.66 pass. although, i only have stock everything except exhaust and boost. congrats dude, thats awesome.

[Lithium]

One step closer, raised the boost to 11psi and got it dyno tuned - feels like a completely different car. With the current setup I figure very solid 13s should be achievable, I think a bit of work including other-than-power stuff will be needed for a 12 .
