Risking

Riders

On second thoughts, I've just found out that the Winton day is the day before the Winton 1hour race, so that track day is going to be packed.

Duncan said that it already gets pretty full given it's only $50 and a short drive from Melbourne... but I'm not sure how good it will be given there is some racing the next day aswell.

Liz.

Who ever told you your facts you need to ignore from now on.

The weekend of DECA (Aug 25-26) is a round of the AMRS at Winton. So IF there is any cars there practising they will be pretty cool to watch. But given Winton does their Friday's in 3 groups of 20mins (20mins Bikes, 20 mins Racecars and 20mins street cars) the amount of track time you'll get won't change. But I doubt there will be many there given the Saturday is practise for the AMRS cars anyways.

Plus it's a $100 and its 3hrs from Melbourne so I've never seen more than 10 cars there on a Friday - although this may have a couple more given it is the week before Dutton Vic and few cars could be out for a shakedown / giving co-drivers a test run behind the wheel. But you will leave the day with more than enough laps under your belt to have made it worth while.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
