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

gtst u mean :D

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!)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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....

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 ;)

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
