my fastest for the night was

ET - 12.285

Terminal - 111.94mph

Reaction - 0.690

60' - 2.034

was a little higher boost than my street setting (ran it at 1.1bar)

I considered it a win for the night as it was a good virgin run for the R and I didn't break anything!

With some quick times posted and I think we surprised some of the trev's. Good turn out and variety of cars... Paul really put the "turn" in "turn out"... tonight I pray that someone has that on film!

Top work Paul, 125mph is massive, thats making some huge power.

My first run in the new R, kept the AVC-R switched off (0.9bar) and still ran 110mph.

Unfortunately the long first gear ratio of the OS cross set box combined with the 2835's means that even a limiter launch bogs down. 2.1 was my best 60' of the night.

Will be good to see what it runs when it's tuned and boosted next thursday.

i think dan may have got paul's spin on vid, but im not sure

apparently a 125mph is good enough for a 10 second pass - but he just couldn't get the power down. Watching him race and he was spinning it still on half track - but one 'advantage' of the power meant that he did some awesome burnouts

a few of you guys did some limiter bashing burnouts - sounded and looked good :P

AND michael ended up running with his hazards on, and lost to paul in the same race :P

Yes, after the first pass on slicks and a close call with the wall I was relagated to using street tyres, which didn't make for any fast times, but still a great night.

If someone has footage of the spin then please post it up :)

In a total of 4 passes I spun, shredded my wheel nuts, and blew off my intercooler hose. But it could have been much worse. At least I gave the commentators something to chat about :kiss:

mitchy what happened to your car??

only did one run eyy then took off and saw some smoke coming form the rear... turbine eyy???

What did happen to his car?? I was racing him at the time. Just as i pasted the line I looked in my review mirror to see a heap of smoke from his car... Hope its nothing to bad.

lol my mate went down in his blue 99 wrx ended up getting 13.1 , he also mentioned he saw a "FU**IN MAD" skyline that got shit times cos of lack of traction and he slide out aswell lol,,

also said he saw a white skyline with smoke coming out the back???

This kinda sums up my night :laugh:

$1400 for PFC and Boost Controller

$600 for fitting and tune

$1000 new clutch

$40 Entry to the drags

Gaining 40rwHP more than before on same dyno

Yet only running .2 seconds quicker over the quarter with slower MPH than before.

PRICELESS :happy:

(FTR it ran a 12.4)

well only managed the one run due to stoopid gearshaft issues which caused a join with team breakdown along with paully and mitchy

then drove home playing find the gear 1st and 4th mostly but it was still a good night

top turnout for the club with some very respectable times as well hope everyone enjoyed themselves

haha hazards look siic

why did u do that :happy: ??

because Strich9 (kym) said that if he ran with them on again, he would bitch slap him

so michael did, but no slap :laugh:

yeah, heard about that gavin

i was walking past when i heard ya go 'finally, got first gear' then you took off

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
