damn, it seems like everyone on this forum likes to run the 1/4 mile. has anybody ran the 1/8th?? if so i would like to know the time that you guys run in the 1/8th.
Hey Mike, I only did two runs because that's all I could afford at the time. I want to do some more runs again but I just have to find the time/money.
I do know about the registering/approving and stuff that has to be done to the R33, so I was going to ship it up here, then over to CA for Motorex to set it up which I was told that takes 4-6 months. Again money/time is the issue.
Hey Andre, yes I am Jamaican. Born and raised for part of my life there, in a little town outside Ocho Rios aka Ochi. Still not sure when I am going to go down.
Then this really can't be seen as accurate... That dyno chart looks like the operator was tokin da junga mon....lol
Sorry, In no way do I want to take anything away from what you've acheived, but you really can't advertise those numbers with any accuracy.....heck you might be pulling more, who knows.. get that thing on a dyno and get 3 consistant runs..
okay so you could only afford 2 runs..but you can now afford to maybe buy a dyno jet and you've bought a R33....man,, what were your winning lottery ticket numbers?...lol
UMMMM, no. Those were numbers before the cams and head work. 15.8 is a very respectable time for a GA16 car. It is even quicker than that now.
As for me, there are much better things in a car than 0-60. Linear powerband that is usable when road racing and autocrossing. That is my goal, not sub 5 second 0-60 times.
In Jamaica, I have a bank account that started when I was 6yrs old with 10,000 US dollars which is 488,800 Jamaican dollars. Now with interest over the years and me not touching the account until recently, it has grown quite a bit so I used some of the money to pay for the R33 as well as selling my Lancer Evo III. As far as the dyno I got approved for a nice size loan so I will probably take it.
Actually what I might do is go to NOPI Nationals this weekend and do some dyno runs up there. We shall see.
Damn Chef...you wanna adopt me? j/k I'd be staying in kingston...kinda far from Ochi...unless you wanna bring the skyline to me.
Well, I have similar aspirations to you Chef...when I was little I used to go watch rally racing with my father...a friend of ours used to race a Toyota Starlet...my aim is to build a rally car in Ja. so I can have some fun when I go visit.
BTW, my uncle told me that they use NOS like crazy down there.

Yes it is part of that. I guess the point I'm trying to make is I started with a car that wasn't fast to begin with. For as slow as it is from the factory, id' say I/WE have made some decent gains.
Yeah no doubt, sorry it sounded like I was saying your work wasn't worth it. I'd never say that. Your car is great, especially considering my car is like half of yours... I was just pointing out something that's all.

Very smart, that's what I call saving your money. Act like you broke all the time and when you really do need it, it's there!!! I know you got the R33 for dirt cheap. Prolly bought it from someone who was sellin it. Like these others, you're not sponsored, which makes a big difference. No high class dyno shops, or pretty turbos, just hard labor, friends, and regular shops. I respect you dogg. Keep doing yo thang.

So with all the typing with times we can't verify and perhaps find a bit advanced, well does anyone know what the stock 93' ga16de does in the 1/4 roughly
