For those that don't read the motorsport section of the forums there is a track weekend on down at Phillip Island on October 20-21st being held by PIARC

Entry Forms and Sup Req's are here: Click Here

Saturday is free practise (non timed unless you bring your own) and free driver training is available if requested.

Sunday is a full sprints day.

There are a few guys coming from interstate for this event as well including John from Unique Autosports with his Zed.

A few people are doing both days so consequently Brisby is organising some accommodation for the weekend. If anyone is keen to come down and stay and have a beer or 2 please post up here.

Cheers

I should be there Saturday, can't be there on the Sunday, not happy.

I wonder if i can get that sub 50 before BB on the Saturday.... come-onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

I'll be driving like an 18 yo on L plates for a while until I get used to the car. You are in with a shot, but not for long. That and the fact my tyres are nearly unroadworthy. :worship:

So is your car ready for this weekend BB?

I haven't heard yet, but have been too busy to ask.

I've annoyed Ben a fair bit lately asking about various changes, so one more "are we there yet" and it will probably come back in pieces, or worse making 140 KW.

Fingers crossed, accomm booked and leave pass organised.... :D

So, i need new rear rotors and fuel tank before the weekend. Tryign to find some rear brembo calipers so i can run better rear rotors...so if anyone knows of any for sale! Im hoping to make it but may be easier to just park it. Engine was knockign a little on the weekend as well...lol little wonder with the boost gauge saying 1.6bar at the top of 4th gear (Ben ha spreviously told me that the gauge reads higher then what his pressure sensor on the dyno reads, so probably more like 1.3-1.4bar:)

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
