Im using the standard ECU and the Air/Fuel ratio's are all over the place at the end because the ECU is going into rich and retard mode. We tried dropping the boost down to 10psi and this was still happening

Ok, I started the same sort of thread on the SDU web site but, lets face it this forum is MUCH better. OBJECTIVE : Do mid 13's(possibly lower) all day with the standard ecu, intercooler and turbo re

Got my car on the dyno the other day and it was making 173kw on 12psi and 181kw on 13psi. I thought this kind of power was ok for the mods i have. So rev210, u got any ideas as to why my terminal speed is slow?

My boost was actually bleeding from 12psi down to 9psi?

Could this have been the reason?

I recently got a new boost controller from simark87, and it seems to be holding better.

Sorry bout the stupid questions, its just that im going down to the drag strip in the next couple of weeks and dont wanna be stuck in the 14's again.

P.S: Check my post further up for mods and time etc.

Thanks for ur help

Mike

:P

Hi Mike,

I think basically you are not making the 181rwkw at the strip for some reason. I suggest the 'hot' air your pod is drinking in when you run. Did you dyno with the bonnet down? Get a cold air partition made and it should be fine mate.

hi mate interesting post ,

i couldnt open up the link to your time sheet what mile per hour and 60 foot did you run ?

also you say the timing was altered , was that the camshaft timing , ignition timing or ignition map?

good read, very fast for minimal mods.

I always keep an eye on times and other things and one thing i noticed in particular was the difference in times lots put up. More so when the 60fts and mods are the same. Example below

HKS-R33,

My old R33 gtst had an exhaust and pineapples only (everything else stock) and ran 13.8's pretty easy on 205's. Get a heat sheild and see how you go.

My mates R33 GTST with full zorst, cooler, 14-15psi, splitfires and a 2.060ft ran in a 13.75@104mph. Yet yours got 13.8 with zorst only (not boost controller etc?) what 60ft was your run. Surely it will not be much greater then 2.0 so i wonder where the time is being made by you, or perhaps lost by my mate? What was your MPH on these 13.8 runs?

well i haven't got a skyline, but in my chaser i ran a 14.06 @103mph with a 2.38 60ft time running standard SMIC and running 8.5psi (9.5 on the spike). I just couldn't get off the line even with the auto as i had bald tyre :(

I'm having a guess with a 1.8-1.9 60Ft mark with the same mph i would be in the mid 13's

Once again, I've sat and watched an auto chaser with a cooler and cat back zorst (i think, could have been turbo back), auto as well pull consistent low 15s/high14s at around 97-98mph.

So i wonder yours got to 103mph so stocko.

Either way. My R34 GTT (at the same track as all the above times ive mentioned) scrapped in a 14.0 @98mph. This was with a 2.0 60ft. So its about as good as its going to get. boost increase and cat back exhaust. Thats running 19s up front and an unsheilded pod.

I just cant work out the difference between times. Ie chaser pulling so much MPH where every other one i have seen its dead on my MPH (about what to expect with similar torque and power figures)

hmmmmm....

the 13.8 was at 101mph, 2.1 60ft.

98mph = lower power than my old R33 gtst at 101mph terminal.

gear selection and shift point can kill off some time if you get it right.

The SAFC should be tuned with a wideband and or dyno. can't just copy someone elses settings.

the Dec air isn't needed unless you run an atmo BOV.

2.1 60ft is ok. The Pod is unshielded? if so that doesn't help.

hey there rev just another kiwi here i got a r33 s1 1993 auto and also trying to get max outa standard ecu and standard exhaust yet to take her in for second dyno . She got 150 kw at wheels with 6.7 psi blocked radiator and a smallish pod filter and no cat then got new water pump racing cam belt and that replaced and took her to the quarter. She got 14.9 @ 166 since then ive taken all the turbo restricktors of such as boost restricker 2 stage standard controller unplugged restricker pipe of back of turbo removed and replaced with free flow front of intake rubber pipe replaced with alloy pipe 10 inche greedy pod filter and r32 wastegate actuator hope to take it to dyno in next few days then to the quarter again and hopefully i beat u and btw i cant seem to find ur time slip :) and yea standard tyres are 205's!!! i use 225's on the back and 205's on the front and my free flowing standard exhaust lol be good to see what she gets =P

There is a huge difference between 14.9 and 13.4 man! In NZ I have not heard of anyone getting anywhere near the results they get in Oz for whatever reason, so don't hold your breath. Managing a 13.xx is a worthy result on street tyres here.

With an auto you may be struggling that bit more, too...

Im going to keep running on street tyres untill its ultimately clear that i cant get anything more out of it.

Did a few 13.7's @ 99-100mph in my R33, but since then i have replaced the stock dump pipe with a custom :as big as will fit" jobbie, and had a road tune VIA SAFC2.

Still running stock airbox with APEXi Panel filter. Seems to work just fine for me too.

Is shielding the POD really necessary? I was told by a 'knowledgeable mech' that you just starve the intake by doing so; what you may gain by having slightly colder air you lose with another restriction.

Shielding the pod is a great idea - the majority of air will be coming from the front of the car, the ambient heat from behind the filter basically acts as a contaminant to your nice cool air. The front of your car has a huge high pressure zone when you are moving, so long as you allow a path from there to the filter your car should not be starved in the slightest.

I made up a perspex airbox back when I had stock turbo, S-AFC etc and checked the AFM signal on a few runs before and after to see if it dropped or rose and I'd say if anything the airflow meter felt that there was more air flowing through. Possibly denser air, or that the margain of error was greater than the difference in flow :D

Mr Rice - I had the stock intercooler when I did it, it was a prick but still possible

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
