The current issue of Zoom mag has the beginning stages of putting an RB26 into a 4 door R33 backed by a modified factory AUTO.

The workshop that modded the auto, M V automatics, claimed it will handle the power fine and also not be un street friendly with over the top harsh shifting.

And it wasnt an expensive excercise either, under $500 is what it cost to beef the auto.

they actually claimed the R33GTS auto gearbox to be internally the same as most other nissan auto's including the GTSt box

is this true?

my R32 auto box may survive longer than i thought :P

btw... great idea of an auto RB26!

Waz.

ah cameron you will learn very fast not to throw stones when you buy a car and are the legal age to get a licence and a job. Ah i could go on for ever the point remains dont belive every thing your big brothers tell you and mabyyou need to go the cairns (drag way) and have a look at the quallity of cars you to will agree when you see it

my project isnt that odd as it has many people intrested i would like to hear from people who have tried it

sorry about the verbal bashing hopefully this thread can get back on track

I reckons it's a great idea I was looking at doing it with my car...tiptronic GTR power was looking an attractive option....unfortunately the cost of it wasn't looking as good :P

For me the RB30 is going to give an acceptable result for a bit less outlay.

Their ain't no drag stip in cairns. Are you refering to the speed way ? Since when can you run 8 sec 1/4 mile pass around a doughnut shaped track !

If their is a drag strip in cairns I'd love to know were it is :)

What cars are you refering to that will not bring you any challenge ? V8's ? Imports ?

Their are some very quick V8's around and some Skylines/Silvias aswel.

I have nothing against you'r idea it is a great one, Just its a lot of time & money you'll have to spend doing it. But im sure their are other little things involved that you havn't realised yet.

You'r decision.

:P

mmm a lot of the big cars mentioned like the couple Cameron mentioned are air shifted manuals isn't that sort of auto??

Nah, they don't have a torque converter, that seems to be the test most applied to determin what is an auto and what isn't.:P

Is this a purely a drag car or is it to be driven on the road? Daily? What is your target bhp? Because there are quite a few issues that make daily driving quite different than a blast down the 1/4 once a month.

Sydney Kid, It will be a 1/4 mile car, what would be the best mod to do to the standard gear box apart from torque converter?

Dear Cameron. as i have said before to you,there is no challenge in cairns..eg: no drag strip! There is not one and there is never going to be one...that is what i was trying to tell you if you just read in between the lines. I do know of one private drag strip that i have been testing at but you will never have access as it is private property owned by my-self and a few other ajoining properties. It was a gov project that went bust and i bought the land on the cheap as it has a very smooth and long road right through it(2.5 lanes wide and 2km long). So now you know why i never come to "Maccas" to show my cars off as i have a better place where i do not just park and sit. Dont bother trying to find out where it is as it will never be disclosed. So now you know all that you need to know. Hope this is the end of your PMs.

Actually maccas is to socialise, ovbiously you don't want to be apart of that.

What times have you been pulling off ? Do you have the propper timer to get your TS, 60ft, ET etc.

Why do you have to be the opposite and not socialise and not come on cruises ?

Have fun,

:wavey:

Valve body change, solenoid upgrade and a big transmission cooler would be on my list. The torque converters seem OK, the stall at 1,800 rpm with standard power and get up around 2,750 rpm with the usual mods for 225 rwkw. They launch very well at the power/stall combo as the tubo is producing some boost.

Hope that helps:cheers:

      But we haven't even gotten to the point of talking about stateless controllers or any of the good stuff yet!

      You guys need to take this discussion to another thread if you want to continue it, most of the last 2 pages has nothing to do with OP's questions and situation

      And this, is just ONE major issue for closed loop control, particularly using PID. One such issue that is created right here, is integrator wind up. But you know GTSBoy, "it's just a simple PID controller"...

      Nah. For something like boost control I wouldn't start my design with PID. I'd go with something that originates in the fuzzy logic world and use an emergency function or similar concept. PID can and does work, but at its fundamental level it is not suited to quick action. I'd be reasonably sure that the Profecs et al all transitioned to a fuzzy algorithm back in the 90s. Keep in mind also that where and when I have previously talked about using a Profec, I'm usually talking about only doing an open loop system anyway. All this talk of PID and other algorithms only comes into play when you're talking closed loop boost control, and in the context of what the OP needs and wants, we're probably actually in the realm of open loop anyway. Closed loop boost control has always bothered me, because if you sense the process value (ie the boost measurement that you want to control) in the plenum (after the throttle), then boost control to achieve a target is only desirable at WOT. When you are not WOT, you do not want the the boost to be as high as it can be (ie 100% of target). That's why you do not have the throttle at WO. You're attempting to not go as fast as you can. If the process variable is measured upstream of the throttle (ie in an RB26 plenum, or the cold side pipework in others) then yeah, sure, run the boost controller closed loop to hit a target boost there, and then the throttle does what it is supposed to do. Just for utter clarity.... an old Profec B Spec II (or whatever it is called, and I've got one, and I never look at it, so I can't remember!) and similar might have a MAP sensor, and it might show you the actual boost in the plenum (when the MAP sensor is connected to the plenum) but it does not use that value to decide what it is doing to control the boost, except to control the gating effect (where it stops holding the gate closed on the boost ramp). It's not closed loop at all. Once the gate is released, it's just the solenoid flailing away at whatever duty cycle was configured when it was set up. I'm sure that there are many people who do not understand the above points and wonder wtf is going on.

      This has clearly gone off on quite a tangent but the suggestion was "go standalone because you probably aren't going to stop at just exhaust + a mild tune and manual boost controller", not "buy a standalone purely for a boost controller". If the scope does in fact stop creeping at an EBC then sure, buy an EVC7 or Profec or whatever else people like to run and stop there. And I have yet to see any kind of aftermarket boost control that is more complicated than a PID controller with some accounting for edge cases. Control system theory is an incredibly vast field yet somehow we always end up back at some variant of a PID controller, maybe with some work done to linearize things. I have done quite a lot, but I don't care to indulge in those pissing matches, hence posting primary sources. I deal with people quite frequently that scream and shout about how their opinion matters more because they've shipped more x or y, it doesn't change the reality of the data they're trying to disagree with. Arguing that the source material is wrong is an entirely separate point and while my experience obviously doesn't matter here I've rarely seen factory service manuals be incorrect about something. It's not some random poorly documented internal software tool that is constantly being patched to barely work. It's also not that hard to just read the Japanese and double check translations either. Especially in automotive parts most of it is loanwords anyways.
