Checking a video I took of another run can see quite a different AFR Graph.

so what do i trust. The dyno one of indeterminate age or my new one?

My wideband which is post turbo, pre-cat reads leaner. Than the dyno one in tail pipe which is backwards to above. I guess its possible the dyno one or my one is out of calibration. Though mine is pretty new still...

got bamboozled by the edited post haha "I just went through this, on the dyno only to realise most people consider the one in the exhaust pipe to be the more accurate one. My car is now tuned 0.3 rich. :p"

why would it be more accurate if its post cat and not where the wideband manuals tell you to mount it?

yeah i think i accept that something to address the AFRs are on the list for sure. Interesting how much different(richer) the dyno wideband (exhaust tip) reads than my one reads (pre cat).

Of course a Link is the better option but $$$ which for what is meant to be “just a daily” might be overkill.

First run had some woofs of black smoke then went away for this one I filmed. General driving i tend to see 10.2-11.5 on my gauge. Still gets 8L/100km. I should leave it alone and just drive it around but now i am considering a the 2 options of either FCD + RRFPR and see if a little more boost and some fiddling gets the AFRs more reasonable. Or option 2 looking out for a cheap Link ECU to wire in as standalone...

Just as a follow up on the Starlet before we return to our usual programming. Dyno check over. Runs rich but is safe. Makes 105.2kw/176.8Nm 141hp/130ft.lb on 11psi with the Stock ECU

perfectly reasonably for a daily driver for sure

The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"

It is a team event min 3 cars min 4 drivers, max 6 cars max 6 drivers. One car per team in track at a time. No in car timers allowed. We decided to enter the event and Rhys impulse bought the Kia on their lunch break. Regarding scoring, the way we thought it worked was: set your lap time before the event. for your elected time +/- 0.5 sec you get 2 points otherwise you get 1 point. the way it actually worked: set your time before the event for your elected time +0.9999 of your time you get 2 points. >1sec slower you get 1 point Any faster than your elected time at all you get -1 point I elected a cruisey 1:27 because there would be traffic and we did not understand the rules . But did 1:22-1:25 all day. Hence penalties.

First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day). It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team: Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
