R33 autos how fast can ....

[chowetime]

The Lancer has gone and i have spoken to a few kind people on this forum who have brought to my attention that there cars are for sale which is good to hear...

but before I commit I would like to hear other people opinions as to how easy is it to make a auto go fast I am looking at dump pipe 3" exhaust and I/C is this going to be enough to make this thing move it's butt as good (well nearly as good)as a manual and the car is a R33 GTS

[MirKz]

gtst u mean

if its auto gts.... DONT BUY IT

only manual gts is bareable... (just)

haha, never mind, But i should think it would pull what... low 14's with that done ?

maybe ?

i know a friends (psikers) does about 15 something and it is basically stocker for memory (psiker if u read this fill her in!)

Hi,

my auto 4 door did a 14.8 with only a pod filter and some wider tyres. so its not too bad. that was on caltex fuel also.

i will tell you how it goes once i get the work done to it next week

I'd have no issues with getting an auto for drags

[R33 Impul]

I run K&N pod, hi flow cat, boost controller (10psi hi) SAFCII and adj ex cam gear everything is standard BUT the missus has got the bet time so far 14.68 :Oops:

[DirtyDezza]

mine runs a 14.4 at 98.89 mph.... it has the below mentioned mods

[Nizmo]

Impossibly hard ot make go fast

Just blew a grand on an FMIC and it didnt make an ounce of difference

Stoopid bucket of crap

[Abo Bob]

I didn't really feel like I gained any power from a front mount but I put that down to stock R34 cooler being bigger to start with.

It's not impossibly hard though. I've just fitted a upgraded valvebody to the transmission which should improve things heaps. Check the group buy on it for more info and peoples results.

[Boostzor]

Yeh the dump and cooler might go to waste on a GTS.

Autos are just giving away control. some ppl like it, some dont. Pisses me off that there is no connection between engine and road apart from some viscous fluid. U just dont get the same feeling. Plus i dont trust autos and their changing through corners technique.

[rep003]

Go the auto!

My first setup , with stock ecu / turbo ran 13.4@ 106mph.

2nd setup ran 12.6 @ 114mph & 3rd setup....well I'll tell ya after Drag Combat!

As a sidenote , one of the Forum Members just put an AUTO in his 530rwhp GTR (GTS4 4wd auto) that will be interesting tomorrow

Cheers

hey lauren weat kinda times was u runnin b4?? and afta? and autos at drags.... sum of th fastest run autos.....

[Nizmo]

Best before was a 14.3 ....... after - I'll tell you tomorrow.

FMIC didnt make an ounce of difference to RWHP

[DirtyDezza]

i cant see how it would make no dif but..............

[Panikin]

Generally a front mount will improve cooling of charged air so more boost can be used safely. Higher boost is where the gains are made from the lower pressure drop through fmic and cooler intake temp.

At stock boost there is not much differnce at all in rwhp.

[Nizmo]

i cant see how it would make no dif but..............

Me either - i kept getting fed bull crap i think.

I get - its not making more HP because you dont have an SAFC/fuel pump/ internal upgrade i put all of those in ....

Last year I got - its not making more HP because it doesnt have a FMIC

i put one of those in .....

Now I get - its not making more HP cos its an auto

My boost controller died - its now got a bleed valve until we get it fixed. Car starts breaking down on higher boost.

Think its time to get rid of the baby hairdryer ..... thats all i can do - most of the cars internals have been upgraded to take HP. I only want 300 out of her is that so friggin hard BLEH! I was expectiong high 260 - 270 yesterday but noooo she almost got 250.

[DirtyDezza]

wat is that all..... so wat do u have done to it all up? ohh and an auto aint gonna restrict ure power who ever said that is Full of SH1T...... these autoboxs can take lotsa power then u just bulk them up.....

i use a blled valve and 12 psi..... wats in urz?

next 4 me is internals and turbo....

[JH32]

a mate of mine did a low 14 with just a cat back exhaust and a bleed valve

if you drive it right you can do that too

[rep003]

The auto's in the lines dont sap any real power at all!

They can run more consistant times due to the stall being fixed , they dont shock diffs & tailshafts when you launch unlike a manual/cluctch drop as well as having a torque multiplying effect , but best of all...you can stall em up to make BOOST on the start line! no lag

[rep003]

Hey Niz, you can come & visit us down here anytime, I set the car up for ya

[J_R32]

as a little aside, what times are R32 auto GTST running?? is a high 14 1/4 mile time too much to hope for with a cat back and 10 psi??
