Yeah the bit to be careful of is that oil returns if there is too much oil will foul the afm's and cause the motor to run rich (it wont actually go bang, just lay black smokescreens everywhere). You can return it low in the sump but it needs to have a check valve otherwise oil can run up the line into the can which isnt helpful. Alternatively you can make sure the oil return is higher up but keep it away from the vents, for obvious reasons. Also, for clarity, there appears to be some creep in the oil return drilling commentary. It has now become head and block??? But generally forged = awesome. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Ever.

Oh and if you do run it like Joshes diagram the catch can must be sealed otherwise you be sucking fresh air downstream of the AFM's if you are running them.

Good post. Couple things: I did the same as listed but if you use a check valve (you take the spring out of it) you can just put the oil back into the sump on the drivers side if you dont want to plumb it back into the turbo intake. So my sump looks bit like Simons just with three -10 fittings, not two. The other half of the issue is blowby control. Cant emphasise this enough. The less gas you have going into the sump in the first place the less of an issue you will have.

Homo, Rosberg, Bottas, Hulkenberg. Vettel in the wall after cracking under pressure from Dan the Man.

Nowhere near as awesome as papaya orange McLaren like they are supposed to be. Got an old Hakkinen MP4-something in the traditional orange livery when they occasionally ran it in pre season testing. Much better than the puke chrome stuff and the old white/red lung cancer fan club colours.

In other lol worthy news Kobayashi says he is at Caterham TO WIN. P1 ya fkrs, P1.

Well I am more worried that Lotus will implode than Romain - what with their debt, shite renault powerplants and a late car. Anyway I may not have been paying attention but have team Abu Dhabi been showing any great speed in preseason with Kimi & Fernando? Looks to be a year for anything with an MB powerplant. Hoping McLaren can get their shit together too.

Yeah just trying to confect a scenario that wont have me chucking stuff at the tellie after Tool fks off from pole for the tenth race in a row. Maybe Team Willy will finally produce the goods.

Be interesting to see how Seb deals with a canine of a car you mean. How long until he spits the dummy out of his pram and starts talking to Merc/Ferrari/McLaren??? Anyway go disco Dan.

Hmm well then back wheels should be stuck to the ground given the relative eveness of the springs i run and despite the fat Cusco anti roll bar at the rear. So I guess the question is do they kope with kerb hopping?

Local as in Bunno - if so who?

Is anyone out there running a quaiffe rear diff on their track gtr? I currently have a Nismo 1.5 way but it shits me to tears on the road and I am a little unsure as to its contribution to mid corner under steer on the track. So the question is how does the Quaiffe rear LSD go on the track.

If you are going to set the heights of the car yourself make sure you take measurements off the shock body and adjust the springs on either side of each axle line by the same amount. That way your corner weights may be close to ok. The other thing you need is a FLAT section of concrete to do it on. Which can be harder to find than what you may think.

Thinking they should be showing pics of their other drivers. Not talking about Massa either.Anyway even though Williams have a habit of talking things up and delivering fk all the outlook for this season looks to be positive.

Well said. Problem being that the GTR's putting down good lap times all have a bazillion horsepowers. So your choice is to build a big hp R to compete in 4WD which will go fkn bang a lot or lose or go buy a GTST and enjoy yourself. Which is genius coming from me given the amount of coin I have pissed away on my heap of crap GTR.If you want an Emo there are plenty road rally built cars about.

Overwhelmingly it is what they choose to make. Commonly next up is a 250 long spring but they may do something in between. Do they not have a cattledog you can look at?

AFAIK it goes harder than 410 with more boost but I didnt ask for a number as I was short of time. It was described to me as a boost control issue so the question is: A set up issue with the controller - something stupid like hoses the wrong way about? A component failure with the controller eg a stuffed solenoid of the twin solenoid controller? Please note: I dont doubt the workshop those are just simplistic examples by way of um, examples

Well the thing is back together and on the dyno. Problem now is it wont run more than 16lb for 410 horsepowers. Will run to 22 with the wastegate shut but the boost controller wont allow over 16lb. Bov's are fine. Actuators are HKS on -5 Garretts. Boost controller is a Blitz dual solenoid type. Any one with any clues?

He means cofg not weight distribution.

FYP.

If anyone is stuck on a plane there is a one hour tv doco about Hunt & Lauda on most airlines now, along with Rush. Tells the actual story and is pretty good. And when I say pretty good I was stuck on a plane for 7 hours so it may have in fact been absolute shite.

Dont want to be hating but typical Jo Saward horsesht. Runs a story that has been specifically denied by Sony. He gets about one in a hundred of these things right but it is all (At best) unsubstantiated rubbish. Having said that sods law dictates that Sony will end up being McLarens new sponsor.
