93 Gsr

[Smutt]

Hi guys, I've owned this Gsr for many years now.

This car came from NT, was sold to a guy in Melbourne, then I bought this car from Melbourne, drove it to Qld, it lived there for a couple of years but now resides in Perth.

Wonder if anyone in Melbourne remembers it? Probably not... It was driven every other weekend there too... thats why i bought it... very little mods and low low kays... Had the 17's on it and the other key thing with it was the phone aerial located in he middle top section of the back window..

Gets driven every other weekend only.

Most of the work (mod wise) has been done myself.

I stayed with the 1.8ltr when it was rebuild time, its now forged.

Heres a couple of pics..

and with 14's for the drags

Welcome mate, glad to see you stuck it out with the 1.8.

Car looks great! What have you done to the engine and in general the overall set up?

[thirteen]

Makes me want to get the 14's back on,
on second thoughts they won't fit over the
twin spots lol.

Ha looks like my car.. awesome. So clean.

Few red gsr's popping up lately (this, richo etc)

Poor Dan, we were RED brothers once... then you went multi-coloured for a few years.. i still remember

 

[nwr31]

bombed!

need to see engine bay/turbo pics

what ecu are you running?

 

[caged]

+ 1 on the turbo/ engine pics. What sort of power does it make?

 

[Qik-1.8]

come on sam

 

[SIVART]

mint , reds awesome for a GSR

Made 310hp ATW at only 25psi and 6500rpm from memory.. dyno tune had problems, quite a few problems... urgh...

This turbo pulls to 8500 (well is a far as i have pushed it..... comp map can go higher for my boost)

I need a new intercooler core... core leaks boost above 25psi
and maybe a new ecu... im running the factory 1.8ltr gsr ecu thats been chipped and hacked... so I can change the parameters to suit my mods as needed and log..

Saving for a new "decent" core (water to air), then re tune! and see what happens..

If you havent guessed by now.. must look reasonably stock.. engine bay is very average.. so much to do... to tidy it up.. but i will probably keep things "black" and stealthish..

Copper Tube was used to measure pressure in my exhaust manifold to compare against boost in intake manifold for efficiency...

Oh, here is the link for my PB on video..

Yes my PB was achieved two turbos ago...

Oh also added drive-line mods above that I forgot to mention

 

[caged]

what was your exhaust pressure like compaired to intake?

 

[GSR_BOY]

Ultimate Sleeper... Nice one dude!

Funny you should mention this....

I have recently done some extensive testing...

boost at turbo compressor outlet versus engine input versus exhaust outlet equals...

24psi vs 22psi vs 25psi = fuck yeah!!!

still havent upgraded my intercooler

Thats awsome. If you are running a gsr throttlebody and not a 60mm evo one you should chuck one on and a set of cams, it would make a huge improvment over the standard cams. These would do job, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=401100532

Those cams are/ were tempting... but nah... im going to push this motor with the standard cams...

With the 3076 comp core... she pulls to 8500... which is way out of stock cam profile

Yeah the throttle body upgrade is a cheap one for sure... when i get around to change it, i will test for any HP improvement..
