Hi guys i thought i would start a new thread on the resuts from compact attack.

I was able to run a new PB in my mates little civic with a 11.41@134mph.

i didn't get to see much how did everyone else go?

Cheers

thats a awesome effort!!! could you provide some more details about this 134mph beast...eg motor type, inducted?, tyres, box etc thanks mate.

The car is a 98 model civic with the following

B16A still 1.6L

modiffied 35/40 with lager 66mm inducer, larger comp cover and the 1.06 exhaust housing

Hypertune big bore runner exhaust manifold made from stainless

Toda valve train

OS giken bottom end

stock crank

spoon diff

os clutch

motec m800

motec cdi

bfgoodrich 225/50/15

90mm intercooler

10psi=1st

15psi=2nd

21psi=3rd

21psi=4th

We will now start winding up the boost a little in 3rd and 4th.

Its was great seeing Theo run a flat 9 in his GTR.

134 eh? That's certainly stomping in the deep end of the track.

I drove over from Adelaide for the event and had a ball.

I had a moment when the plenum ruptured with a 6-inch crack along a weld, but we recovered by smearing it with epoxy, covering it with gaffa tape and then wrapping the plenum with 3 ratchet straps. It then went on to record a PB during a solo run, [email protected], and was on the limiter for the last 60m.

To make the weekend better, I then ended up i the final (bit of a Stephen Bradbury actually-but I'm not compaining) and won Compact extreme from a pro looking VW drag car.

In the end it was worth the 2800km round trip. :(

Cheers

BS, Benm, I am sure I saw you sneak in a couple of dogs during one of the breaks :sweat:

Well done to the little Civic, that is a very impressive time. Some more traction and a completely legal car will see it take the record next season.

Excellent event, can't wait for next season. Hopefully will be competing with one of my two projects :)

Hey Sean (MS-75), your car is pretty damn nice, the pics of it don't do it justice. In the flesh it's a neat hotrod, and quick too.

i agree. im disapointed i never got a close look at it in the pits. its a very deceiving car to watch race it seems to drive off so steady from the line but storms to the finish.

Thanks guys-it's been a long journey to get this far, but it's all coming together. There is still probably around 1 sec's inprovement to be had before I need to open the motor up and actually change it away from std.

I haven't done ANY work on getting it to launch yet, so even on the 10.2 it still crawled out of the hole in 1.80. In addition, it's suffering from boost induced valve float with the stock springs and 22psi (we only identified the problem 2 weeks out and so didn't have time to change thembefore the meet.) With any luck, by Jamboree It should have over 500rwkw and be launching properly.

My one regret about the meet was that due to competing I didn't get time to take in any of the other cars that were running.

Man WSID is an awesome facility

Bring on Jamboree. :)

Cheers

Sean

Just giving you an update on whats going on.

We will be hitting the track we hope next week in trying for a ten or maybe just getting the car comfortable with more boost for now.

as i have said before we will be uping the boost from 21psi in third and forth and maybe dropping it a little in second.

Just making sure eveyone knows these times arn't with our GTR, but with a 1.6L turbo civic.

We are also looking for a quote on getting a papachute fitted and getting a cage put in if anyone has anyone they know that would help.

I'll keep you up to date with how we go with power.

Also Hypertune will be making one of there Billet plenums for the B16A/B18 very shortly so , we will run one of those as well as a 76 or 85mm TB on it.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
