lol, there's a hole in that housing where the port should be mate... hehe. that will be nice. should slot those housings into my road car...

Selling her? Any particular reason? Shame, the thing looked to be a decent little bus, and no doubt well driven.

No particular reason mate, and once push comes to shove might not be able to actually go through with it. But I'm feeling it's time to maybe take a break and show my little lady the attention she deserves. She's missed out on alot over the years due to me going racing.

That porting is massive. Should sound very nice indeed!

It's getting there Scott, hopefully driveable by Monday. I haven't got the dash done yet as a few things have gone over budget, so once that' all sorted I'll pull it out and get it flocked.

I even like the uras type lights on this one where they are covered. it would probably help the aero a bit as without that nice smooth cover it would for sure create drag or turbulence.

says the man with the Stack dash!:)

I'm jealous... I like shiny stuff...

Haha that was in the budget... but a few thousand other things weren't! :(

I think you're right Richard, and it's something I've thought about, but I just don't like the covered ones so I'm not doing it by convincing myself the open ones make for a great ram air intake :P But I should really do it, so I might when I have some more money and can do the aero stuff I want.

Chris: I'm sure some companies would

dunoo, will have to ask him. Maybe google the name above the door if you can make it out.

also, bought this from Revzone in melb.

replacement rear half should be arriving at the shop next week. rebuild imminent. tempted to chuck an SR in it for shits n giggles :blush:

it's funny looking at that porsche it just screamed american to me. I know it's LHD but that's not the give away. it's the cage design. the side intrusion design to be specific. so american. they all seem to do it that way with the ladder type side intrusion. I guess it's come because oval racing is their premier tin top racing and that cage design filters down to other categories. you would never see one like that in aus in any category. except benms lone nascup car which of course was US built or at least designed.

any particular reason why oval guys use that style?

It looks like the ultimate in side impact protection. As Zebra suggests American oval racing has far greater likelihood of high speed side impatcs.

Speedway in Aus requires that design, obviously a hand-me-down from the states oval racing regs.

Just picked up this for a fun track day project:

Will be set up for drift or circuit with fun being the key word, times coming second.

Coming up will be a heavily modified N/A 4AGE. Not too sure yet how I will swing it but I think lightweight forged internals, larger cams, light ported head, bumped up compression ratio, twin weber's in an alloy air ducting enclosure (gogo cad skills!), MSD electronics and a few other bits and pieces.

Suspension wise I am not to sure... More research will need to be done!

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
