Hi All,

It's that time again for SAU VIC's DECA Motorkhana fun day.

This will be held at the lovely DECA facility in Shepparton VIC.

There will be our usual convoy cruises for both the Friday night crew and early Saturday morning. Of course you can travel in your own time accordingly but it is much easier in a group, and more fun. Previously we were meeting at McMobil on the Hume Hwy but now that the bypass is open it may be more convinient for others so we are all meeting there.

Meeting point address

Shell Roadhouse

Hume Hwy

Donnybrook VIC 3064

Melway 365 C5

DECA Address

145 Wanganui Rd Shepparton

There will be two official convoy's heading up to DECA next weekend.

Friday 24th February - Night convoy

Meet at Shell Service Station, Hume Hwy, Donnybrook - Depart 8:30pm. Paulr33 + Jamezilla to lead the Convoy.

Saturday 25th February - Morning convoy

Meet at Shell Service Station, Hume Hwy, Donnybrook - Depart 5:30am. BassJunky to lead the Convoy.

Some important notes;

  1. Please bring CB radio's to assist in communication during the convoy
  2. This is open to non members if you wish to come up and spectate
  3. We have a wide range of cars running on the day from full race spec cars to daily streeters
  4. BBQ will be provided for specators and competitors with cheap food
  5. Just a reminder that officials MUST be there (at DECA) no later than 8.15am on Saturday morning

The new bypass is excellent and saved us a lot of time on the return trip (didnt use it on the way up). Came back along it when coming back from Hotham 3 weeks back. There are speed cameras on it not that anyone would need to know :) Gutted I am missing this one but roll on May B)

speed cameras? Any between cooper st and the ring road? I use that section almost every week at velocities that needn't be mentioned.

I believe I saw one in that section the only time I've used the bypass so far, in the median area I believe

Inbound, on the bypass, theres a speed camera after every single bridge, they're very obvious though. But my being half asleep at 3am, I almost got caught

are they operational yet? the bypass hasn't been open all that long

I'm not sure...

I was going at 110 through there, after being on the hume at 110, and only saw the camera at the last minute, I braked and I haven't recieved a fine yet, so either they're not functional or I slowed down enough not to get caught...

They're infra-red ones though, because when you drive past them, at the right angle, you can see a weird beam of light. So they have to be working...

so all the new cameras on the westgate fwy etc, and towards geelong, are they point to point or just regular speed cameras?

off topic yes, but you guys were onto this topic already, and I MIGHT come up on saturday for a look, if so, ill be at the shell at 5am for the convoy.

Yep thats them, very obvious. On the poles next to the road not hanging from bridges etc.

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
