Thanks guys :laugh:

Somethings wrong up top, ill find out exactly what quite soon. There was an incident during the build and i have a feeling that thats the reason its failed - which is good as its not my fault. The motor had been blowing white smoke since i picked it up, but only after a decent rev past 5000rpm, i thought it was the tune (or lack of) but now its pretty clear i was wrong, there was something wrong in there from when i got it

Dry sump fittings are on the engine but its still running a JUN pump (sump setup will be a scavenger setup to a tank in the boot that feeds back to the pickup, so it still uses the JUN pump but flow to the pump wont be an issue, so its slightly different to a normal dry sump :laugh: )

Dam those Lotuses are quick. I think on the day giant will be in the running with both on R compound tyres, and giants supper soft ones. Can't see how new slicks are similar to R compound though?

I went to Wakey on Sat for SAU track day, freezing day about 9c and windy and could not get there until after 2pm due to tow car Commy doing an alternator that morning and long story. Bit of mud on the tack and not good for grip as so cold tracktemps and rain that night and old tyres, bla bla bla managed a 1 min 5.49 a PB, and I was impressed until I put it in perspective with this pesky Lotus, and giant would do this with one flat tyre. Still doing more weight reduction and more power prior to the BIG day but budget does not allow for dog box yet, so will be running the stock gear box still. At least we will look good coming 3rd or 4th or 5th or..................

Dirtgarge thieving p...icks, I hate thieves and unfortunately trailers are hot property. Got a pic of what it looked like, never know small world and if unique it might show up one day at a track or on the road going somewhere.

I cannot believe im reading this....

Send it up if you want it done right Steveo....ill give you a student concession on fixing the build. I know of another smoky GTR engine build that had a little something go wrong in the top end too. Got two monster builds on at the moment that will take my time up but ring me if you need any assistance.

Hi Mr Mackie

Don't try and tell us the Lotus is a cheap build :)

Super cool cars which I just love driving.

I heard a rumuor today that Peter Lucas is worried that he may not be fast enough ( only 11's on slicks on the weekend) and is thinking of getting Bargs or Luffy to drive the car at superlap :)

The GT3 Lotus did a 1.09 with Luffy at the wheel, and he thinks it may do a 1.08 (on slicks). That car would never be that fast on R compound :)

I think Peter should drive his car at superlap to give us a chance on the day.

Will be an awesome day. Looking forward to catching up :)

Hi John,

Well I'm sure our car was a lot cheaper than most of the car in superlap :)

I have no doubt that Peter and Tim would have got into the 1:09s if we put new slicks on. We were both running on well used tyres and new ones are worth 2 seconds easy. Which is why I am hoping that the new R tyres will see us on similar pace to last weekend. See you at Oran!

Our car was 30K...but then broke the world record for labour charges for a GTR street engine build (no, unfortunately we didn't build this one) So yes you car may be cheaper than ours...hehe

I wouldn't be relying on it, can't see how a used slick would have the same grip levels as a new R compound tyre.

Anyway, go-karts shouldn't be allowed at superlap, how are you supposed to compete against a 800kg car!!!! :D

It's amazing that a GT-R is exactly double that weight.

Anyhow, Teh GT-R can neva lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By The Mafia · Posted

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.
