Yesterday she gave it to me: Driver training thne 5 laps in a FORD V8 supercar around calder park!!! oh and a Dodge Viper SV-T (model) i can't wait... best girlfriend ever! i rest my case!

Hi mate.

I did the V8 drive in Feb and it was great. I also recommend doing 8 instead of 5 coz after 3 or so laps you get the hang of it and then it's really really fun.

They are awesome to drive. Not really that quick but man... slicks, suspension and good brakes! They stop and handle so damn well.

Enjoy it!

one of my mates bought an FPV GTP and also got a free ford track day at Calder Park so he brought his FPV there and let one of the V8 supercar drivers test his car while my mate was in passenger seat and he says it was such a thrill. So ye u r gonna enjoy that

I got to drive a BA GT falcon b4 they were released. Thanks to Ford Aust for the loan!

After 20mins of driving my right leg ached for 1hr just from the accelerator workout!

Plenty of power across the board and loads of fun to drive, but heaps of grip.

she has read these forums before... so i think photos are a no no! :D but i do think i will do the 8 laps. the more the merrier. I just checked the site adn yeah they seem to be slightly modded V8s rather than full blown V8 supercars. Will be fun tho. and i'll try to get pics on the day posted up.

My customer Monaro Performance builds these cars for the calder days. They are not a V8 supercar, rather a SS commodore with exhaust, cage, race seats, harnesses, Motec logger, all the vinyls etc etc etc.

Good ride nevertheless.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
