Dont know how much interest i will get in this as not sure how many ppl actually have the demo?

But me an my mates have been going hard out usin both the Ferrari F430 & Porsche 997 T - all assists off and manual transmission.

Good fun, if anyone is keen post ur times up. my best so far in the 430 is approx 59:400 and in the 997 T 59:700.

ill get the exact times if i get some interest.

i'll have a bash tonight and see how i go.

ABS off as well?

Yes ABS off too, absolutely no assists

Yeah, I'll take ya all on. I need more practice though, havent played it much.

We should have a SAU race in the full game on Live when it finally comes out.

Sounds like a great idea.

Ill post my exact times up in a few hours

i got like a minute flat in the ferrari no aids or driving line. that was on my final lap of the first race. then i got bored and did something else.

i'm keen for a race though when the game is out next month.

Well i'm already well into the real game, not the demo... but you get that!

Although i only spent the arvo on Sunday playing it.

Pretty good overall, some of the additional stuff is awesome, not just the racing itself. You'll see what i mean when you play it.

But there are some really annoying things that it requires, i hope they are features that open up later, otherwise endurance races are going to be absolute heartache to complete :D

How did u get the full game so early?

Ye pretty good.

As with most of them, you can customise the set-ups end to end.

Engine swaps are a good thing as well. But then you need to spend ages getting the car setup right due to the big change in weight/power etc :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Ive got the full version and am up to level 35 after about 40 hours play time. Damn its going to take some time to complete this game.

Yeah its one awesome game.....

Love to get the steering wheel.

Love to have 4 xboxes and 4 tv's and connect them all together to play the side views all at the same time

Negatives:

+ Game is too easy (even on hard AI)

+ Not many tracks (and lost of old ones from the first version)

+ Can not stop playing it.

    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
