15.2 down the quarter last nite in an auto!

[bazr33]

Hey guys

went to willowbank test and tune last nite

after doin a 16.1 last time completely stock AUTO

i have improved abit with the help of a FMIC

avcr controller set on 10psi

CES racing split dump .

My time i did last nite was 15.2 with a .640 reaction time .

im off saving for my next lot of things to do to make it quicker

[AlphA]

Nice work with the Auto.

What year is it?

[bazr33]

series 1 1993

had 122.3rwkw stock

and after those little mods it did 166.9rwkw

so slowly moving up .

Would this time that i did be accurate to the dyno rating 166.9?

considerin the reaction time and all of that?

[RNS-11Z]

considering, in a skyline the same model with the same mods and auto with 200rwhp, we went 14.1 @ 98mph i would say your time is a little slow. what is your 60ft times and how is the cars tune ?

[bazr33]

my 60 ft time was 2.356

and did 91mph.

so yeah dont know whats goin on there then.

i'll get the car looked at and do what needs to be done

next thing is injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump, cams,

trans cooler, stg 2 quick shift, highflowcat, afm then turbo.

so should be gettin a bit betta from then

[JH32]

congrats on your time

though i reckon you should do quicker

a mate with an auto R33 s2, cat back exhaust and 10 psi boost ran 14.4

[Fly_With_Sky]

well done but im sure you would like to do better. Do you only have a dump pipe with the rest of the exhaust stock?? If this is the case then that will be a big restriction.

Also did you launch the car just by planting down the foot in 'D' or did you stall it up as far as it can go then taking off right when boost comes on??

[strutto]

Yep stall er up!

My best is a 14 flat with turbo back exhaust, 10psi and a quick DIY SAFC tune...

[rep003]

Good stuff Mate , keep pushing it

My auto ( when it was stock turbo & ecu ) made a best of 13.4 @ 106mph (280 rwhp)

I didn't lunch an auto until mid 300s rwhp , & even then it was only heat that killed it!

I'm trying "Redline racing ATF" now ( with a bigger cooler!) , I'll keep you informed.....

GO THE AUTO!

[bazr33]

when i went down the quarter

i stalled it up to about 2500 and .4 or .5 boost in 1st gear

then changed to 2nd and drive

Should i try goin down in just drive ?

I have CES racing split dump 3inch

Catback 3 1/4 hyper Medallion exahust

AVCR controller set on 10psi

600X300X75 hybrid intercooler

K&n panel filter

APC did a compression test and found the 6 cylinder was 130 and the rest were 150

I havent been in another auto yet, but it feels like my gearchanges between

2 and 3rd are pretty slow or is it just normal.

pulled a alright skid though hahaha.

What other things should i be lookin at to get myself in the 13's bracket?

[HR31_RB20DET]

Hey mate, you should look at getting a high flow cat to minimise the flow restriction.

[riggaP]

What other things should i be lookin at to get myself in the 13's bracket?

A manual transmission

[burkey22]

I aslo have an auto and am about to install a Greddy Profec B-spec II. I want to set the high setting ti 11psi. Will it be OK to have it on high for the entire race. Should I launch on low then go to high. Mines all whell drive so I dont need to worry about traction. Ill have a bigger transmission cooler in by the next meet.

My time i did last nite was 15.2 with a .640 reaction time.

Your R/Times don't count. The timer starts when you leave the staging line and cross the finishing line (otherwise most rotary cars would be doing 2min 1/4's )

my 60 ft time was 2.356 and did 91mph.

. With some more experience you will easily drop this to around a 2.1sec 60ft which should put you in the mid to high 14's with no mods at all.

[pkblade]

bazr33:

Well done on the time. As everyone will continue to tell u....practice on your 60ft times.

Did you have your Power button on & O/D 'off'? Coz I believe that helps with the launches & gear changes.

Gear changes normally are pretty slow in the auto (approx 1 sec....zzzz). If you’re interested, currently theres a group buy for an upgraded valve body (shift kits) from M/V Automatics - highly recommended & will give the manuals a run for their money.

As HR31 mentioned, do the car a favour & get yourself a high flow cat immediately!!! & if after that, given your mods, your tuner cant tune you over 170rwkw, I'd seriously look for a new one.

For a helpful comparison guide search on the drift & drag forums (the ones by 'benm' are insightful). All the best mate

burkey22:

I believe with a fairly dead stock Stagea you can safetly tune upwards of 10-11psi - (dont know your mods though). If traction on your launches isnt an issue just stick it on hi.

12mths, 30 runs, ~$3,700+ spent and only a 0.5sec improvement.... Yup you'll learn lots from me

[FATAZZ]

i did 15.1 at wsid. auto r32 gtst 3" exhaust,pod filter and 11psi.

O/D was OFF and power was on,even had my mirrors folded in.

can anyone help with launches in fairly stock auto's? at what rpm should i change to 2nd? it feels like it should change earlier,but it likes to redline.

Does manualy shifting the gears make it change quicker? or is it an illusion?

Go the auto

stalling up in N and smaking it in to drive and i through you would leave your gear box at the start

Greddy e manage with ignision harnes + wider tyers

out of interest i have a 250 rwhp auto

how would that go i wonder

james

[madbung]

Sad to say it but thats still slower than a stock off the showroom floor 265 powered auto 1973 valiant sedan.

Good to see you getting some improvement though..keep it up

[MrBlonde]

Keep at it! As your launches get better your short time will drop and your ET will get quicker.
